Senator Obama is downplaying the percentage of votes he is receiving from African-Americans because he knows it is about playing the race card. His cunningness to fool black folks into believing that he is really âdownâ with our cause is as offensive as wearing black face. As a black person, I am also sadden and bewildered by so many African-Americans not caring about the real issues of this campaign. In my viewpoint, Obama set this whole racial campaign up to benefit winning at any cost. When Obama didnât denounce the false allegations against President Bill Clinton, I began to smell trouble ahead. Needless to say, the cable brigade ran with the lie and is still using it as if it was factualâwhen all those who have ears to hear and eyes to read, know that the âfairy taleâ dealt with Obamaâs lies.
Here stands the problemâno one seems to call Obama out in front of the African-American community and challenge him on his supposedly stance for black folks. When someone has questioned Obama about his sincerity to help black folksâthey are deemed as being a âuncle tomâ or speaking for the "man" or conservatives. Perhaps the best way to deal with this situation is that the media and Hillary and yes, John McCain supporters needs to scrutinize the âreverse race cardâ that is being played in this election. We should be unified on if nothing else, stopping Obama from polarizing our country. Obama and his wife Michelle should be ashamed of themselvesâbut they arenât. If this gets them the Democratic nomination and the possibility of their names being written in history and into the White House, then it will happen at the cost of family, friends and neighbors being lostâletâs face it, this racial divide is bringing them nothing but good times [no spun meant] and his winning in heavily populated African-American urban and rural areas will only cause more harm than good in the future.
African-Americans who are supporting and drooling over the Obama-man [blindly] will be left out in the cold concerning American elections after 2008. As a black person, I have concluded that there will be no longer a point in considering our vote as a âpolitical mustâ in future elections. From the stats that I have been reading of late, Hillary is receiving votes from Whites, Latinos and Asians and these voters have given her the biggest wins and have also overshadowed the black vote. Republicans are not courting the âAfrican-American voteâ because they have arrived to the conclusion, and it is a fact, that a majority of blacks just arenât going to vote for anyone Republican.
One should also understand that when that large segment of African-Americans who voted for Obama find out that he would rather have cocktails and Brie with a Republican than have a coke and soul food with a brother or a sister, then my dear friends, the chickens will have come home to roost. Unfortunately, Obama will not acknowledge the detrimental harm he has already caused my brothers and sisters in the African-American community. Obama has no real history of struggle in this country [Indonesia and Hawaii]. He truly doesnât understand that his selfish acts to win an election of this great magnitude have come at the expense of racial discord in this nation.
Lastly, Obama has indeed spoiled the hard work, sweat, blood and tears of Dr. Martin L. King, Jr. and those who have sacrifice their lives in the civil rights movement. Obama has put race relations back in just a period of three months. This proves that he is not an agent for change or hope. And as far as his speeches on unifying this nationâwell, Obamaâs words ring hollow. Look at what he has done for his selfishness ego. âOur unified nation of races has been divided so deep and wide, that it may take generations for it to come back together.â
The media should call Obama on this and it is my prayer that sooner than later. With truth comes courage and with God all things are possible.
