Barack Obama has injected race into every aspect of his political
career from the beginning. From his references to his choosing of his
black heritage in his books to his forsaking of his own grandmother on
the alter of defending his racist pastor. Egalitarianism is easily
broken completely whenever it is contrast with the practices and
statements of those who hustle and flaunt it.
Now he comes once
again with the "they are gonna tell you" and "they are gonna try and
make you afraid of me" rhetoric. When that is precisely what he himself
is doing by default through both direct, indirect and oblique
references to his race.
He has all but said "don't penalize me because I am black, don't oppress me because I am black."
Yet
his defenders immediately attempt to portray his political maneuvering
inside of his declared race, as some form of surreptitious and unfair
attack by the opposition. That is not only the weakest of
representations, but it literally wreaks of the real racism being
portrayed in this campaign and by whom.
Barack Obama is the
product of biracial parents and he has chosen to declare half of his
race as the predominant qualifier of who he is. He could have just as
easily declared and claimed the white half of his race and pursued a
political career on that basis. But he knew that to do so, would
immediately cast him as a traitor to his true race in the eyes of the
black community that he is catering to.
And now he comes forth
and basically attempts to try and float the perception that he isn't
about race, but that is the precise tired, dead and battle worn red
fish that he always returns to. The man is a harlequin patchwork of
cobbled together socialist ideologies and race based ploys to garner
both votes and acceptance. First by his black supporters and hopefully
through the imposed guilt that he hopes to heap on whites. And he fails
on all counts of objective scrutiny and examination, one he is revealed
as nothing more than what he is. A manufactured and contrived
caricature of forced perspectives and false representations based upon
the supposed currency of race and the ideology that change is the only
qualifier for a political platform.
