Obama is not the problem, but he will become the scapegoat, unless he steps up to the plate. And tells some of these fools off.
He will become the scapegoat unless he calls a spade a spade, oops sorry. Unless he renders some real talk, not garble and yes he can garble. I love Obama enough that I must yell at him, please don’t become David Dinkins a lovely elegant man who was a trailblazer and an Icon. But who didn’t make too many waves in the pond. Yes Mr. President you are doing amazing things and intend to do many more. But I will give you the best advice I can. Those on the other side intend on bogging you down in non-sense, they did to Bill Clinton and they will try to do it to you. Non-offensive Negro’s and you are in now means this, can get in the door. But to stay in that door so many of us folks of color have found out that we had to turn into the Bad Negro to stay there. You have part of it right, be aloof (we are always aloof or arrogant). But show some anger, anger works, America is angry that is what those on the right have found to play into. You must do the same; you must become angry and rally your angry base. Because we are pissed off and frustrated too.
Non-offensive Negros (and you are in now means this), can get in the door.
But once through that door……………… you have to turn into the Bad Negro. America doesn’t know what to do with bad Negro’s.
No I don’t mean sag your pants Mr. Prez. I am talking about attitude.
Mandingo Warrior attitude
Much of the aura around Obama is a by-product of a dominate group that has never really had an honest look, at its multi-brown and black colored supplicants.
In any case, they are watching him so closely now……….that any thing that he says will be distorted.
But he must not be deterred from speaking the truth, because the real truth can’t be drowned out, by a bunch of aging white male commentators.
We allowed these commentators and pundits to gain the power that they have.
The left is as much to blame as the right, they had the newsmakers eyes and when the right
Joined in with a louder cruder voice they were shocked.
They speak of the American will, of the constitution lately; you have people quoted (usually distorted) excerpts’ from a constitution. These fools shouting at the hometown meetings love the constitution, they owe it, they wrote it, and they can use it to do many things, as they have in the past.
They love the constitution so, these mid-westerners, these so –called small town people.
They love it because they think that it was written before all of us came, all of us the
Darker brothers. That it was written before black folks came here, written before Asians came here.
Written Before the dreaded illegal immigrants (Code word Mexicans) came here.
It is theirs it ties them to the forgotten lands of their common
Manufactured history.
My people African American were here in the 1600’s, christpus Attucks a black man (I love saying that), was the first man to die in the American Revolution, thank you... Native Americans came over 20,000 years ago. And Mexicans have been here forever, didn’t we steal a state or two from them. What America needs to some how address is complex?
So whose country is it any way?
America must address the fear that many of our seniors fear at a change in health plan. And the real underlying fear that they have of poverty and neglect and helplessness. It’s our fault that our seniors live in fear like this. America is dealing with multiple groups of people crossing class and race lines that are experiencing, a sense of displacement and unfifillment. Americans that are now in or close to middle age that after doing every thing right, have found that they had it wrong. That the American dream the real one, is of selfishness and self promotion, this is the only way to make money and or follow your dream. Americans are frustrated with their lives with their bad marriages with their loss of jobs and more. Young people are scared, young men in particular after watching their parents and grandparents emotionally self destruct, are scared to enter the world. They are looking at the near end of so many journeys of people related to them that haven’t been successful.
America needs more than a speech its needs an enema.
It needs a cause, because right now it is eating itself
White folks, poor things, are looking at a Black president the all of their life references are telling them that some thing is wrong with this picture. Black folks in the white house. The Jewish cabal is back and it’s around Obama and its intention is to make America communist or socialist. The Jews………………………..The Jews. These folks are ready to resurrect old Joe McCarthy from the grave to rout the commies it’s like a bad Stallone union movie.
America is scared it watched the master plan in action. It watched their hero and defender of truth, justice and the American way, George Bush. Lose a war and face and more. America is scared, its colors are changing like autumn and the author of the it’s famed constitution very well may be rolling in their graves……
Why do the boundaries of the real America, Middle America, and white America define what America is? Africa starts and Rome and America starts in New York., in Atlanta, in Chicago and Boston. And too be honest I care very little about what Bettie the waitress has to say. I care little about what Joe the plumber or John the John thinks of Obama. Their vision of America is single hued and tone deaf.
My America is made of all colors; My America is made of good people and hard working people. But my America is also made up of the poor and the old and the infirmed. Of the new immigrants and of the soon to come.
There is a crisis in America, and its not Obama fault but he will have to address it.
America is sick, it is confused, it is searching to find out who it is, it is growing up and growing pains are hard.
Their is a problem in America and it’s a crisis of faith.
Faith in its own ability to grow to change and to move on.
But this wont be done, as America has always done in the past.
Closing its eyes and hoping it goes away.
One mans America is another man’s hell.
This shouldn’t be true,
America is for all.
