	LINGUIST List 3.512: Free Indirect Discourse by Sr. Souljah?
		Leaving aside Clinton's underlying motives for picking a fight with Jackson at this point in the presidential campaign, the focus of Clinton's reproach was a quote from a May 13 interview with Sister Souljah that had appeared in the Washington Post, where she was asked to comment on the Los Angeles uprising.
		Sister Souljah was quoted as saying, "If fl people kill fl people every day, why not have a week and kill white people?", a statement that Clinton condemned as incitement to violence.
		Sister Souljah has denied that charge, claiming that the Post quoted her out of context.

		In the early 1990's, Souljah released an explosive politically charged album entitled '360 Degrees of Power', which she described as "an amalgamation of all of my thoughts, personal, and professional experiences here in America."

	Sister Toldjah » Sister Souljah in North Carolina today
		Clinton’s Sister Souljah moment, whether born of political calculation or not, was consonant with his larger strategy to move the Democratic Party to a more centrist stance on many issues.
		This isn’t to say I’d ever recommend Souljah for a speaking engagement, because some of the other lecture topics on her website look a little scary to me, but it does suggest to me that perhaps she’s changed some from her earlier years of blaming the white man for everything.
		If Souljah is on the right path in terms of promoting the power of the individual by teaching that the individual himself is in charge of his own destiny and not the government - then I wish her much success.
