Today's History Lesson: The Story of Lani Guinier, Bill Clinton & the Myth of "Our First Black President"

Submitted by Steven D on Sat, 04/23/2016 - 1:44pm

Lani Guinier was right when she argued our electoral system is deeply flawed. Though we don't have a Tyranny of the Majority so much in America, as a tyranny of two minority parties, who have blocked access to any attempt to wrestle away their hold on political power.

You can see this in the electoral fraud that has accompanied a great number of primaries, from Iowa to Illinois to Arizona to New York and much, much more.

Just read an "insider's" article on Politico (http://www.politico.com/story/2016/04/bernie-sanders-fundraising-list-22...) about Bernie's very much coveted contributor list of the millions of his supporters that contribute whenever he sends an email. The entire DNC and their down-ballot candidates want his campaign to be over already so they can get access to his list.
