The bright lines concept is like a kind of etiquette. You can't have a civil and productive conversation if the people at the table don't know the rules. The rules for African Americans have been traced in centuries of blood: You don't collaborate with the enemy; you don't sell your people, as you were once sold; you don't tolerate wars of aggression, as we were warred upon and enslaved; you don't sacrifice a single human right, for any payment or advantage whatsoever; and you never, never debase the dignity of any other group of human beings. That is the standard by which we must judge all public policies, legislation and political behavior - bright lines of morality and justice. In this righteous process, we all become informed and conscientious judges of one another - which is as it should be. For Radio BC, I'm Glen Ford. Your comments are always welcome.

Radio BC: The Degradation of Black Life and Politics

By Glen Ford Co-Publisher & Executive Editor

In the early 1970s, President Richard Nixon, who many of us at the time routinely called a fascist, seriously entertained the idea of establishing a national minimum income.
