Response to my fellow Blacks who are “Obama Bashers” – My life experience is the best reference to helping you to understand what I am about to say.
Poor all my life, but worked hard as hell and went to top schools, grew up five different locations in the S. Bronx NYC (while it was the murder capital 20 yrs straight), a gun to my head, knife to my throat, mugged 5 times, sited for death by gangs twice, but never joined a gang and never carried a gun, and by God’s grace, never got hurt. 20 years in “the” most racist division of all the military in Gulfport MS (2 known Klan headquarters,home of Jefferson Davis).
Suffering dictates that we speak out. I never kept quite. AND I NEVER MADE MUCH RANK EITHER! I saw Black males in those “secretly” white supremacist environments (my school and military) only made rank or got scholarships when he kept his MOUTH SHUT! But when we made it, we “effectively” fought the oppression, NO EXCEPTIONS! I could not hold my tongue long enough as others did. BUT MOST BLACK FOLKS DON’T GET THAT! They CONTINUALLY INSIST THAT WE SELF-DESTRUCT BEFORE WE GET IN POSITIONS OF POWER!! Why don’t people look at Obama’s history? Why don’t we realize that dispite his environment (influences) he has supported and addressed the main issues of the poor (Blacks)THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE – children, Education, Jobs, Elderly, Health care. BUT NOTHING IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU!? WE CLAIM TO BE SO KEMETIC AND AWAKE ON BLACK PLANET AND STILL FAIL TO REALIZE REALITY, STILL FAIL TO SEE THE OPPORTUNITY OF HIS CANDIDACY UNTIL IT’S TOO LATE. INSIST THAT OBAMA BRING THE OUR SUFFERING TO THE FRONT BEFORE HE IS IN A POSITION TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. CUT OFF OUR NOSE TOO SPITE HIS FACE AND OURS. I SUBMIT THAT YOU ARE MORE ASLEEP THAN EVER BP.

i understand that OBAMA has to play the politician and seduce the white middle class into his camp, he has to choose to ignore the black agenda. but as certain other politicians find out very quickly, dont forget who you are and where you came from. dont talk about what you want to do, just do it and quick and quiet like before the MIDDLE CLASSES find out and raise holy hell about helping the poor. otherwise the next time he wants to run for the WHITE HOUSE he better ask himself have you listened to the people from the black houses all over this land. you can accomplish both classes and fix the country simultaneously by reminding people that the BIBLE says “therefore but by the grace of GOD,go I” and “am i my brothers keeper”. what has been happening to us,will happen to the upper classes without govt. help soon, he has to get that message across soon!
