Dr. Avijit Roy (AR) Said: Unfortunately its happening in both sides. I have also seen some white men were arrested for plotting a "killing spree" against African-Americans that would have been capped with an attempt to kill Sen. Barack Obama. JR Reply: Yes, Avijit, I have seen that also. You know that those are white supremists, and I am not convinced, they are motivated by this election. They are actually motivated by their ideology. I think, they are just taking advantage of this political atmosphere. Their plot was not only to kill Obama but hundreds of other African Americans. McCain's run for Presidency did not motivate them to do so. The same will be true for the motivation of the Black Panthers also, if they are plotting anything similar. I am talking about general folks, who have taken this election so personally like their investment. Historically, Americans have never been politically so involved, and have never taken election this much seriously before. AR Said: I have also seen an women making up a false story about being attacked by a ABM supporter : JR Reply: I have seen that also. That was a teenage prank to draw attention and to be famous by being on TV. That claim was right away rejected and refuted. My guess is that she will vote for Obama. AR Said: I am not sure why Dr. Jeten Roy did not find anything "so new in America" while such things are continuously happening in the opposite side too. JR Reply: Yes, I do see that occasionally on the other side also, but the intensity is extremely feeble on the other side. I wish it were equally intensive. Some corporations, favoring minority interests, have given their employees a day off to facilitate large scale voting, which is unprecedented. All these tell me something about the demographics of these new voters. Thanks. Jitten Roy --- On Sat, 11/1/08, Avijit Roy@yahoo.com <Avijit Roy@yahoo.com> wrote: __._,_.___ |
