Mitchell Bard: Is WikiLeaks' Release of the War Logs Afghanistan's Cronkite Moment?

2010-07-27-capt.9e97e02e4a244d1399504f911110368cc28b5d28c5614f76b19a86fc114547470.jpg

Mitchell Bard: There comes a time when you have to recognize when something isn't working. It's not just the War Logs, but how they crystallize lessons we have been learning over the last year in Afghanistan. It is time to heed Cronkite's 42-year-old words of advice to "negotiate, not as victors, but as an honorable people who lived up to their pledge to defend democracy, and did the best they could."

The Debate on Race


Racism in America is cloaked and protected by judicial precedent today. When we, as Americans, decide to end Racism it will be done when the "covers" are removed to reveal it. Racism is subtle, and natural for those who practice it. Until people understand that the only power they have is over self, Racism will continue. Racism is about power. Those that practice Racism believe they are losing power.

Derrick Rose drive to be the # 1 point guard in the NBA

SPORTS REPORT

Who's #1?

The talk around the NBA is who's the best point guard in the league, as the start of the new season is a few months away?

Most people in the media and management offices have Chicago Bull's 1st round draft choice two seasons ago, Derrick Rose the man voted to excite stadiums around the league.

Right now Rose is competing in Las Vegas to win a spot on the U.S.A. Men's National team.

The last two years, 22 year old Derrick averaged 20.8 ppg, 6 assist and 1 steal, and at 6 foot 3 inches, Mr. Rose and his 5 million dollar a year paycheck is prepared to lead the new look Bulls.

Even though LeBron James opted out coming to the Bulls, the team has brought in some fair players like Carlos Boozer, Kyle Korver, Ronnie Brewer and C.J. Watson, which should add some balance and dept to a pretty good team.

It's too early to predict how far the Bulls will go, but critics say Chicago should win 45, maybe 50 games and can go deep into the playoffs if the team's chemistry develops sooner than later.

The fight must never stop, but a new attack plan must be constructed by all sides.

POLITICS AS USUAL

The Debate on Race

When I hear journalists, scholars, civil rights activists and television and radio personalities say the American people are afraid to talk about race, I wonder if they're watching television or listening to talk radio?

The issues of race have been debated daily since the Shirley Sherrod incident. This conversation is being discussed from both sides and the middle, and they're going back and forth based on their experiences, life's environment and racial encounters.

It's amazing in 2010, we find ourselves going down this road at this magnitude. Race is still a factor in America, but having heated over the counter shouting matches is non productive.

It's like the two or three wars America is involved in. I can't believe in the 21st century, with technology and the advancements made in practically ever area of civil, social and technical life, as well as, the most powerful country in the world, we're still sending young men and women into hand to hand combat. Unbelievable!

This is a very sensitive topic, not because it isn't relevant, but because we have a present generation, whose two generations removed from the civil rights movement and their dealings with racism has mainly been hidden.

Today, racism is not an overt practice, but one that is being manipulated behind closed doors by a few. But the mainstream of today's America doesn't function from the play book of prejudice, but from privilege and innate inheritance.

A white person 25 - 35 years of age, who parents didn't actively practice bigotry, but educated their kid to believe achievement and privilege is his right. And most importantly, he's expected to succeed and get what is owed to him as a tax paying citizen.

That's not a racist belief, but a feeling of privilege. The world owes you if you do what's expected and if you work, you get paid for your services. If you borrow, you pay back. If you sacrifice, you have every right to benefit from what your sacrifices brings. That should be a human and common belief.

And for white people, dating back from the days of western dominance and dictatorships, they have a full belief that wealth, power and influence should be transferred to each generation. You build the wealth by ANY means necessary, expand that wealth through transfer, which creates power and you combined the two into influence.

This privilege is learned from birth and that's where today's young white people minds are at. They don't really see racism at the level being discussed and debated today. They know what's been transferred and inherited, and they know their responsibility to continue the cycle. The question is where is everybody else's train of thought of breaking the cycle and building wealth, power and influence *where you live, work and play?

racism definition
The belief that some races are inherently superior (physically, intellectually, or culturally) to others and therefore have a right to dominate them. In the United States, racism, particularly by whites against blacks, has created profound racial tension and conflict in virtually all aspects of American society. Until the breakthroughs achieved by the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s, white domination over blacks was institutionalized and supported in all branches and levels of government, by denying blacks their civil rights and opportunities to participate in political, economic, and social communities.
