12/28/2008: "Obama gon make yo black ass WERK!"

I have been hearing a lot of ignorant black people, and whites as well, sing the praises of Obama and how he is going to save America!!!!! From comments made here and elsewhere, I have come to understand that blacks think that Obama is going to be all about the black people's cause. Their new messiah has arrived and now, at long last, they are going to get whitey once and for all!

I have been doing a bit of reading as I noticed Obama state that he was going to raise the bar on responsibility for the black community. I wanted to find little snippets of what is probably going to represent the biggest disappointment the black community has ever experienced aside from not getting their welfare checks in the mail.

So read on people. The day of black victimhood is finally over now that "one of your own" is in office.

Obama isn't like the leaders who have traditionally spoken for black America. As president, he's unlikely to embrace the confrontational identity politics that have defined black activism for so long. He won't tolerate an African American brand of racism or a culture of violence. Nor is he likely to be patient with the long-standing narrative of victimhood that has defined black America to itself and to the mainstream for more than a century.

"Obama is already constructing a new ..... image of strong black males that doesn't involve bling-bling or hip-hop misogyny. He has decried the low-hanging pants fashion so popular with young black men, blasted rapper Ludacris for offensive song lyrics and called on fathers to take responsibility for their families." All I can say to this is too bad so sad homey! Take out that grill, pull those pants up, and take care yo baby's mammas!"

But Obama is a different kind of leader... Obama's arrival in the White House underscores the reality that the post-civil rights era is in full swing in American politics.

"But some African Americans don't get it. Despite measurable advances over the past 30 years, they still perceive themselves as beleaguered, as the once and present victims of discrimination, struggling to keep pace with their white counterparts."

This portrait of a currently besieged people is mostly fiction -- although it regained some currency during the campaign. The racial comments that were slung about, along with other experiences permanently lodged in the psyche of some African Americans, partly inspire the catalog of demands that awaits Obama.

In other words, blacks are still saying "GIBS ME DAT!"

"But even if Obama reaches the Clinton bar... it may not be enough. He may find himself in the same place as other black leaders of his class. Consider former Washington mayor Anthony A. Williams, who delivered services to low-income blacks far beyond what his predecessors had provided: a record number of affordable housing units, new supermarkets and retail shopping areas and health insurance for thousands. Yet he was nearly castrated by a segment of the black community. At one point, he was accused of trying to further enslave African Americans because he wanted to move the city's only public university to a predominantly black neighborhood. His governing approach didn't comport with that of "traditional black leaders" of the 1960s and '70s." To put it another way, many blacks will never be satisfied. They don't really want equality, or equal treatment, they want more and better rights for blacks alone, all granted by the blood and sweat of whites. They want whites to have nothing, and they everything. Don't hold your breath angry negros. It isn't going to happen. Obama is half white, remember?

If African Americans want to be taken seriously, they have to get with the program. Obama's election isn't just about a black president. It's about a new America. The days of confrontational identity politics have come to an end. The era of coalition politics and collaboration has arrived. Besides, Obama could never be a Rev. Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton -- something even they acknowledge.

"Not long ago, African American author Charles Johnson noted that blacks have been too invested "in the pre-21st-century black American narrative," and that we need "...new vocabularies and grammar based not on the past but on the dangerous, exciting and unexplored present."

That present has now arrived.... Obama...., "has removed the roof. If Barack can be president, then there ain't nothing we can't do."

NOW what are all you black folk going to have to cry about, now that its become quite clear that you aren't being held down by "the man"? You cant blame whitey anymore, so if you keep up with your general laziness, thuggery, sluggishness, slothfulness, and all around lack of success, you have only yourselves to blame, just like white people who fail in life.

So there you have it! White quilt is dead. Jackson, Sharpton, Wright, Farrakhan, and many others like them are going to have to find a new inflammation to pander. Its going to be fun watching them buck and shuffle.

I highly suggest you blacks who are always crying racism to go to the link provided and read the full article. Can you imagine that a black would write such things? Oh yeah, I forgot, probably a house negro.
