Jackson Apologizes for Obama Remark
Well I hate to say it but.................
Jealous old men.......
Acting like a bunch of spiteful queens
I said it once and ill say it again
From the inside
Nader, Nader
I don't want to get started on him again
But
I have his picture on my wall now
I throw things at it
Before I go to sleep at night
It’s next to a john Wayne poster
And I have come to like the duke in my old age
Anyway
My father used to say that almost every slave rebellion
Failed
Because of fear
On the part of other slaves
And yes slavery and its ugly repercussions
Are still alive and well
Jessie jack son
I met him a few times with Dean Morton
The dean used to talk about Jessie's ego
And how recently he was at least starting to get a little humble
He is a larger than life figure
Has done enormous things
But he and his whole group
Which includes so many?
Nader, McCain, Cheney, Bush, Rev. Wright
They should all have monthly picnics
Good old boys talking about the good old days
When young folks knew their place
They could drink some beer and talk
About the world
Before the rules changed
America will never understand how black people
Talk when they are alone
But that’s another issue
Jessie is a professional
Who should have known better?
He ought to be ashamed
He more than any one should know
That Obama has to play the game
He should be there
To see that when or if he is elected
That he does some good
But until then
He should just
Shut the hell up
And leave things alone
Obama
If he is brought down will be brought down
By Blacks and white woman and liberals
Who still think?
That abortion and picketing
And picketing and rebellion is the way
Shut the hell up
Give me a break
All of this it’s making me spiteful
Turning me into a mother hen
I Hillary's woman
F they won’t vote for Obama
Then I won’t support many of the issues that I nod my head too
I am neither pro abortion or against it
I think its total woman’s issue
I will just follow what they say
But
Their are so many more important issues out there
And white woman always could get abortions
So I don't really see the power in this cause
Anyway more
I just don’t and ill see it less.........as they talk more
And if they give Obama more and more problems
Then its war
Yes I am turning into a spiteful old queen
Just like the rest of them
My next prediction
Is that this election will tear apart
Many of the old coalitions
They really won’t be needed any more
Young folks are into different things
Anyway
Jessie is right.............Obama has to address black issues
But Jessie............damn.......................
Not yet
Jessie on a private note one really believed you could be president
Or Shirley Chisholm, Ralph Nader, or the head of the communist party
And Jessie
Quite frankly when you were running
I didn't understand a damn thing you said
Except for I am some body
Sorry
Black English my ass
You can’t talk for shit
Anyway Jessie
We want this guy
You had your chance
Take some more corporate money
And be nice to your wife for once
Anyway
Some one needs to tell Jessie
That Obama can’t fix as a president
What blacks haven't fixed as a people
You couldn't fix it
Jessie
Obama will do more
Just being there
For young folks of color to see and admire
Than any one has done before
He is knocking down that ceiling
Supplanting rap stars as our main role models
Obama is funny looking
I don’t know if I can hang him on my wall
But ill try
Anyway
Blacks will still be poor
And we still will be profiled
But museums are not just being stopped by
State troopers
They got new jails for them
Blacks can’t take the county jail
Lets alone
Sitting in some dark hole
In some country run by savages
Sorry
Am I being too harsh here?
So shut the hell up
Just think of how many young people of color
How many young ladies and men
Will be able to say that they really can be anything in America
And mean it
I didn't salute the flag until I was 21 years old
And a cop
And they forced me to do it under treat
Of being fired
I am a different generation
I told a young person this the other day
And they looked at me like I was crazy
Ok more like I was just an old hippie
Reminiscing abut the good old days
And that what it is its history
The talking heads on television
From Oliver north, to Wesley Clark, Greta, bill
Lou dobs, the world in which you people live in
Is gone
Anyway
Obama has his eyes on a larger prize
Hell Jessie I
Saying what I hear all the time
But even I know how to keep my comments
To a select audience
Not in public
Or at school
When I am out I yell out Obama
I keep my private thoughts to those who can
Discount them if they so chose
Don’t get me wrong
I still have lots of problems with Obama
But I have problems
With the people next door
The woman who cut my lunch meat at the deli
And every other person I bump into in the street
Yes we are a mean generation
So shut the hell up
Who cares?
Obama’s
Background is different
Some say he didn't go through the slave thing
So what
Do we always have to share?
Black folks have got to get out of their heads that they are the
Only ones that have suffered in this world
Then we will be able to join with the many others
Of color and not of color
Who are poor and suffering?
Obama is not a solution
He is a door way into the future
He is a new way
All those pimps and players
And kids in the inner city
Who could have run corporations?
Where it not for their circumstance
Played their dues
For this guy to learn from
And learn he has
Harvard hallways and law offices
He learned from
He knows this world
And that world
Let him loose
My generation
Spent most of our lives in rebellion
The windmills......the windmills
Some one said on a show today
A young black man
Those men of Jessie's generation
Have been waiting for Obama
Their whole life
Now that it is here
They simply can’t believe it
I probably fall under this heading
Except
That I must ad
That it’s not so much about Obama
But America
I know its tricks
And I am just waiting
To offer wise council and then return to the front porch
Call me if you need me
So I say to all old negates
All old white liberals
Who still like to dress up and protest?
Shut the hell up
Try to be positive
Wait and see
Work for the guy
Protect him
Obama knows history in ways I never will
Even though
He wasn't here when they sang we shall over come
They sang it in other places too
You know
The read about it in South Africa
And then used it just as strongly
As if they had been there
so duhhhhh...................
Don’t get me wrong
I still think his message is weak
But it has to be for now
He is turning into Mohamed ail
Float like a butterfly and sting like a bee
Do that ropa dope
Brother
Obama
That boy knows how to play the game
And I respect that
Message
Man I don’t care about messages
I want legislation
I want stuff on paper
Anyway
Jessie looks like a fool
Isn’t it amazing though
That all of the black fools
Are turning out to be ministers
What does that say?
About the state of black America
Jessie’s theology is much like mine
No cross a crown
Obama into lift every voice and sing
Or aint no stopping us now
What ever
Different songs
But the same end results
Hopefully
Anyway
Back to Jessie
Who the hell can understand?
A damn thing that Jessie says
Maybe that’s why he is jealous
Because Obama can speak clearly
Who knows?
I am somebody
Rub some more blood on that shirt
Jessie
I even forgave you for that
But today you pissed me off
Your picture is going up next to Naders
If any one comes here
And looks at my wall
They will think I have turned into a skin head
Black folks
lord
Black folks know we got issues
I get no pleasure out of seeing these fools blow things
For Obama
None
It’s the history of black America
A real American story
That maybe one day we will be able to talk about
But until then
Every one shut the hell up
We got to sneak this brother in
Think Harriet tug man fools
