Joseph is either hating himself at the moment and sharing it with everyone, or he's baiting (kind of the same thing). Joseph is an example of what happens when hate is allowed. It occurs to me that in one sense Joseph is right. Bush won in that he promised to unite while dividing so badly that now even television shows are openly race baiting, and Joseph jumped in with both feet. To lump him with Omar is downright ignorant. It's to see none of the complexities of what's going on, and it's an opportunity to do some race baiting of one's own. You and Omar should get together for a cup of coffee. Julie Krueger
