So many people on the am1200 Ms. Mildred show think that his latest arrogant answers show that he has already cut some deal with Ms.
Worthy, and I am inclined to agree. He says he will be vindicated of ALL charges, although how Carlita would vindicate him of adultery, I don't know. They also point out his use of the word "we", which could mean both him and Beatty.
One thing is for sure, his latest PR campaign sucks. It is not making people who doubt him believe him, and I think it is making his supporters look more foolish.
Could you please comment on his newest friendship with the Black Muslims? I am beginning to think he will use the Hillary policy of "scorched earth" to get out of this mess, up to and including race wars. Please tell me that I am wrong and he is above that.
New friendship with the Black Muslims? I'm not so sure that the relationship is entirely new as they supported his candidacy the last two elections. To understand Black Muslim philosophy I would suggest exploring the definition of Black Nationalism ideology and the distinct differences between groups such as the Nation of Islam, in Detroit the Shrine of the Black Madonna and other Pan-African organizations who share the theme of Black pride but deviate on the best way to accomplish that goal. I am by far not a theorist on this thought and I hope that one of our readers can chime in to clarify points and/or the relationship Kwame has with these groups.
But if you listen to Kwames spiel about "the man" doing this to him it fits strategically with his yearning to turn the attention from his lack of accountability and ethical practice which is consistent with many Black Nationalist groups who believe that the ills of our society have been caused by the white man and if we get in trouble it is a direct byproduct of that fact regardless of if we are culpable. Now I'm certain that some readers may take offense to my statement but so what. Not everything is black and white and if we don't hold ourselves accountible when it's our people who render transgression upon our race then we get what we deserve.
I would strongly urge people to read the full transcript of Obamas speech on race as it was brilliant and gets to the core of not only race relations in this country but discusses in detail how black folks can also be racially insensitive so much that it blinds and restricts progress.

Great point KE, but what I love more than anything else, is the fact that Kwamster hired ANOTHER white lawyer named James Thomas. Here is the link on the DetNews site: http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080321/METRO/803210434
and here is his bio: http://www.plunkettcooney.com/people-136.html
so if the "MAN" was out to get Kwame, is it a form of self-hate by continually using the "MAN" to help "defend" you? In other words, is Kwame so sick that he wants to go to jail and is making sure to do so by hiring white lawyers? How can he play the race card with white defense counsel? How can he point at the "MAN" and accuse him of a conspiracy when the "MAN" is leading his defense team? All of the black lawyers in Kwame's world are either being relgated to the back of the proverbvial legal bus or they themselves are facing criminal charges. So it is ok to do the Mayor's dirty work (Step and Fetch) but anything that requires higher-level reasoning is too much for Blacks? Isn't that what Lonnie "too black" Bates argued when he hired a white boy? And where is he now???
