JAMES PETERSON: I have a really different take on this entire sort of NSA thing—I really find it to be quite a privileged discussion.

I do think this conversation is important. But I just believe that we needed to have this conversation a long time ago, and I believe that poor people and people of color are under a different type of surveillance in this country. When you think about "stop and frisk" and the relationship or the interface between policing forces and the communities of people of color and poor folk, there's a tremendous amount of physical surveillance that goes on in our nation every day.
