		<description>I *heart* Derrick.  

But seriously, I was so impressed by his answers...it was clear that there as a certain element of baiting by the "reporter" but Derrick held his ground and gave some really well thought-out and insightful aswers.  It's funny because typically these "man on the street" interviews tend to target the lowest common denominator...usually finding a fairly reasonable-seeming white person, and in contrast, a dim, semi-coherent (perhaps even drunk and homeless) black person.  I know how the game is played.  As, apparently, does Derrick.  I think he's also written an article for CNN subsequent to that interview, but I don't know how to link stuff.  Sorry.

And as a fun aside, I believe he attended your alma mater, Ory.</description>

		<description>There's some interesting &lt;a href="http://digg.com/2008_us_elections/is_this_a_typical_Obama_supporter
"&gt;comments&lt;/a&gt; about Derrick Ashong on Digg.  Choose the option "sort by most diggs".  Generally pro-Derrick and anti-interviewer.</description>

		<description>Yep, why the desire for keeping everything hidden from the public.  No wonder all that blood was shed in Africa.  I don't buy the usual excuses/assurances for transparency, after all we can never tell what someone thinks when they say something, and on the internet it is even more confounding as there is no clue with the body language, not that that is foolproof either.  If we human do not know our own mind how can we hope to know someone elses.  I am old and I have only met one person in my whole life who seems to know how it is with people, it begs the question : what about the sheep?</description>
