A happy day for mysoginists in Nicaragua?

A happy day for people who hate the independent, autonomous and fighting-to-be-free women of Nicaragua. The alleged sexual predator, happy-to-ban-abortion, ex-Marxist and born-again-Catholic anthrocropolite called, Daniel Ortega, was elected president yesterday :

Former Nicaraguan leader Daniel Ortega appeared headed for victory Monday in his longtime quest to regain power, 16 years after a U.S.-backed rebellion helped drive the former Marxist revolutionary from office.

Early results from Sunday's presidential election gave the Sandinista leader a strong lead over his four rivals. His victory, if confirmed by final results, would expand the club of leftist Latin rulers led by Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, who has tried to help his ally by shipping cheap oil to the energy-starved nation.

Ortega, who led Nicaragua from 1985-1990, has repeatedly said he is not the Marxist revolutionary who fought U.S.-backed Contra rebels, a war that left 30,000 dead and the economy in shambles.

I don't know what is more reprehensible : That he raped his stepdaughter when she was a teen and sexually abused her for 20 years or that he now repudiates Marxism as a born-again Catholic.

Frankly, I find either claim revolting.

Words to live by

Politics are not the answer for black people, never have been, never will be. Been knocking on that door for too long now...nobody has answered...STOP knocking!

This is not to say that some well-meaning but, misguided, black people have not attempted to promote change through these channels but...c'mon people...it aint workin'

I would also like to add, that black people are NOT a monolith. There is room for a plethora of opinions, discourses, methodologies, and passions in the struggle...HOWEVER...there is no room for self loathing and the loathing and mistrust of other black people.
