Madjewess Why no comments on Obamas Pastor Jeremiah Wright and his HATE FILLED speak against white people, Jews, even Hitlery Clinton, and his hate for America. G.R.C. Records From my blog dated: June 12, 2009. As I have said time and time again, as long as people continue to hate people based on the way that GOD created them, instead of judging people based on their character and rather or not they contribute positively to society and humanity, then America will continue to experience these problems. And as long as Racist, (black, white, red, yellow, brown, etc), who think that they have the infinite knowledge required to judge entire groups of people based on long held racial prejudices and stereotypes; America will continue to have these violent and deadly outbursts. The danger in this type of rhetoric, rather it is coming from the Extreme Right, (where it currently appears to have exploded since the successful election of President Obama, and the pending nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor as the First Latino Justice on the Supreme Court Bench), or the Extreme Left, where things have settled down significantly since these 2 blessed events have and are occurring, (with the exception of Reverend Wright who everyone knows by now is the equivalent of the White Racist who are currently inciting violence), is that: It is completely and totally unnatural for groups of people who are under attack to not defend themselves from annihilation by those who are striving to do so. Madjewess YOU DO Know that Bush (even though he sucked) had Condalessa Rice, and Powell?? They are black people. G.R.C. Records 2 out of 40 aint bad in a country that is over 200 years old for the Republican Party.whichis the party of no; no black people. Whopdi Fucking Doo. Madjewess Some of my best friends are black people. G.R.C. Records Who are you trying to convince of this bull-shit me or yourself? It appears to me that you could not possibly have black friends while hanging out and sympathizing with somebody like Ken. Do YOU have a problem with WHITE people?? Usually what you see in others, is in yourself. G.R.C. Records I don't know. Maybe you should ask one of my many white friends, neighbors, doctors, nurses, delivery-man, fellow musicians, business associates, etc, etc, etc. The Only white people I hate are assholes like you and Ken, who hate to see anyone of color acheive anything of any financial or historical significance, because people like you and Ken are still laboring under the false impression that you deserve to have it all, (not because you earned it), but because you are white. White privledge is a dying commodity in this country, and is stinking as it always has Make sure you get your fact about me or my writings before you launch a racial attack against me or any other person who doe not mind working with any type of people in order ot make this world a better place for all.
With the exception of Martin Luther King JR, (who was removed by those who did not want to see him become president), there really has not been many african american candidates that were viewed by white america specifically, or black america in general, as viable candidates.
Of course, Colin Powell fits into this catagory as well. He was an excellent soldier, so excellent a soldier, that he became a general. So that would mean that he would definitely have to have a strong stomach to advance that far in the business of war.
However, after spending so much time with George W. Bush, he could no longer stomach the business of politics, so that took him out of the race by personal choice. And, at the rate that the members of the Bush's Cabinet have been cutting and running before criminal prosecution; I think that he made a wise decision. The 2nd reason is that he exhibits a sense of newness that many voung voters, both black and white, (who are still optimistic about the polictical process), really like.
During my youth, having a black president, or even considering it, was unheard of.
It was considered to be a social evil that would cause the end of the world by blacks as well as by whites.
Sadly, many black americans had been trained by white america to think this way.
Remember, it really has not been that long ago, when it was illegal for black americans to enter into a restaurant to eat, use the same public restrooms as whites, set in the front seats of a bus, take a swim in a public swimming pool, or for that matter, vote.
Although most younger people associate these types of behavours with the deep south-I am here to tell you that I was born in the late 50's, and raised in the early 60's in Baltimore City; and I can still remember the signs saying "White Only", "No Coloreds", "White Trade Only".
I also remember when black people had to go in the alley of the S&H Deli right in the heart of Fells Point, in order to have their food handed out the back door to them like an animal, (not like a person).
So through the process of negative socialization, which was the norm for america at that time, (rather those who did not live through it want to admit it or not), it would be impossible for any black man to become president.
"It's just not in their DNA", So it was said.
I can tell you from experience, that being white is not an immediate determination of success in the "White House". Just look around now, and then reflect upon the pass.
I said all of that to say this: These are the reaons why I think that Barack Obama has done so well during this election year.
One more thing.
No matter who becomes the next president of the Untied States, male or female, black or white; please compare their performance after gettiing the job, to their campaign speechs, and make notes, compare the 2, and then call them out on their lies and shortcomings.
The reason that the government is the way that it is, and the way that it has been for so many years is because, the american public continues to fall for the same old bull-shit, time and time again.
If there is going to be truth in government, then it is up to the citizens to hold their elected officials accountable for what is said, and what is done.
