speak of have almost completely removed yourselves from ever having even a semblance of power and authority over my life and the lives of those that I care about.

Keep rambling about oligarchs and the NWO. Keep screaming that educated black people and "good spellers" are your enemy. You'll make sure you'll stay politically impotent for DECADES which is probably what you want anyway. Allows you to continue hollering that you are being victimized by the Powers that Be instead of a acknowledging that you may be a group of no plan or message having, alienating individuals that no one wants to be affiliated with and especially not those Educated Negroes that terrify you guys so much.

You should take this stupid little show on the road. Will help Bernie Sanders alot with his efforts to make inroads into minority communities.
