Bush stole the election by denying the votes of four million Black and other people of color. Many were kept from voting by Old South Jim Crow tactics, police intimidation and other corruption. He has further signaled his intentions by appointing supporters of the Ku Klux Klan, military, big business, opponents of the right to welfare, anti-choice advocates and others from the extreme right. As a cover for his sexism and Old South racism, he has appointed women, Black and Latino people ready to shuffle to his tune, including the continued devastation and genocide of communities of color around the world. The Supreme Court that sanctioned Bush's illegitimate victory is now considering a ruling to overturn the 1964 Civil Rights Act, enabling greater discrimination against all women and all people of color.
Racism has many uses.
Bush used racism to steal the election and to further US corporate conquest of the world. And the Democratic Party refused to even report how Black people were cheated of their votes, underscoring that both political parties are accountable to each other, not to us. We will not allow this return to a pre-civil rights movement when Black people were denied the vote by the lash, lynching and other violence. Further US military intervention in Colombia, the Caribbean and other countries where Indigenous and other people of color are demanding peace, recognition and economic justice, is even more likely under Bush. Bush denies the threat of global warming, and supports further ecological devastation in Alaska and other areas.
