YOU APPEARED IN A CAMPAIGN COMMERCIAL FOR JFK IN 1960. CAN YOU IMAGINE DOING THAT FOR ANY PRESENT-DAY POLITICIAN? I’d gladly do it for every politician I met if they had [the] values, platform, and purpose that I thought commanded my support.
DOES ANYONE COMMAND THAT SUPPORT THESE DAYS? Barack Obama did. And in a way, he still does. But there are many questions here. We’ll see what happens with his second term. I do believe if he fails, and we fail, to use this moment to take America to another level and to another set of values and ob- jectives, we will have lost the ability to change this country in a way that it needs to. I think that we’ll be just on an express to Hell. It’s all too fast, it’s much too much, it’s all scattered — where we are and our sense of purpose.
DO YOU BELIEVE PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS PAID ENOUGH ATTENTION TO BLACK AMERICA? Not at all. As a matter of fact, that’s part of why I hesitate [to fully endorse him]. I don’t think he’s paid enough attention to black America. And there’s so many reasons why he should. We have the largest prison popula- tion in the world, made up mostly of people of color. Nobody in his Cabinet sits to look at this phenomenon. He doesn’t talk very much about the poor. Certainly talks about the middle class — and that is not to be dismissed, but it was not meant to suffocate all other issues. There’s more to America than just how well the middle class does. So everybody gets rich, but where is the emo- tional, the philosophical, the social sense? What are we going to use that middle-class power to do? Who do we serve other than ourselves? Very narcissistic, self-serving stuff. _David Scharfenberg 8 February 1, 2013 | the providence phoenix | providence.thephoenix.com
