Ok, so B.O. named Joe Biden for his Vice Presidential running mate this last week. Much has already been written on the various gaffs and misstatements made by Biden, and on what he has said in praise of McCain and to disparage B.O. But I have a different take on the Biden pick. You knew that I would!
He had a chance to pick someone who really stood up for everyone, someone who could point to his background and say that he could “feel your pain,” the great B.O. picks Joe Biden.
Joe Biden is proud of his former slave state of Delaware, saying that they would have joined the Confederacy, if only they could have figured “out how to get to the South.” Joe Biden has referred to B.O. as “the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy.” As opposed to the other kind, eh Joe? Perhaps Joe Biden has been hanging around the other Democrat leader proud of his white history, Robert “KKK” Byrd. It’s the Bobby Joe twins! Uncle Joe Biden’s attitude apparently goes for others who are non-white, as well. He was the one who proposed dividing up Iraq into racial groups as a solution to their problems. “Separate but Equal,” Joe?
Perhaps the reason that B.O. is open to this kind of thing is because he feels the same way. It won’t be the first time that some “uppity” black man has been accused of “speaking down to black people.”
Barack's primary role model, his father, was a black man and, as the song says, "[His] daddy gave [him] a name, then he walked away." Leaving young Barry "a scared [black] boy in a [white] neighborhood." Perhaps this bitterness toward his father for leaving him and his mother accounts for his Cosby moment in which he beseeched black men to stand up for their families. His half sister, a white-asian, figures prominently in his campaign, while his half brother, a black African, sits in a hut and lives on a dollar a month.
Barack was also raised for many of his formative years by an old racist white woman who feared black men who passed by her on the street. How much of this did he absorb? As a youth, Obama spent much of his time surrounded by people who were not black. How much of their Typical White Racism did he pick up? He couldn’t identify with black people. The most that he knew about them was what he had been told by his white friends and family.
He went to Harvard in the late 1980’s, in that bastion of white-itude, Cambridge, Massachusetts. Not a place known at the time for their high black attendance rates. If he had time to see any “real” blacks there, I’m sure he didn’t spend much time associating with them in between studies and editing the paper. In fact, he says that it wasn’t until Chicago that, “I discovered I was black, and I have remained so ever since.”
He apparently went to a church that preached “Liberation Theology” in Chicago, but never seems to have gone to church to hear a sermon. Did he know, at all, what his pastor was saying in the pulpit? Maybe if he did, he would have left much sooner. After all, Reverend Wright’s views do not reflect his.
Meanwhile, even Michelle Obama’s hospital turns away minorities from the surrounding neighborhoods.
Many of Obama’s policies also reflect his hatred toward blacks. He supports “Immigrant Rights,” which affect the working poor and the black communities the most. He opposes school vouchers, which have been shown to benefit blacks stuck in failing inner city schools. He supports abortion and the Margaret Sanger founded Planned Parenthood, which has been shown to disproportionally kill off black babies.
So my question for Mr. Barack Hussein Obama is this:
Why do you hate black people? Why do you take them for granted? Why do you talk down to them so often? Why do you celebrate the endorsement of Robert Byrd? Why did you choose one of the whitest running mates you could find? Do you agree with his racist views about black people?
