Obama: Walking the 'Fine Line' of Color 'Perceptions' . . . but not Ruled by It.

I'm telling you: Racism is STILL a problem in this country . . . but Obama has done a masterful job of avoiding the characterizations that so often plague, not just Black Men, but Black politicians in general.  Most Black Politicians DO fall into the trap of nakedly being very partial to 'their own'; Jesse Jackson during both his runs fell into that ‘cubicle’ for example.

That is NOT going to work: Racism in people's minds doesn't go away overnight. 

The Potential and Brilliance of the OWS Protests

There are some in the establishment that still can’t wrap their brains around the amorphous, spontaneous, self-regenerative nature of the OWS protests.  They are bewildered that the lack of identifiable central leadership is NOT a product of hippie, youthful disorganization . . . but by DESIGN. 

And it’s frustrating the crap out of them!

And I LOVE it!

About the 'Smug Republicans'

This is from a thread in which a friend of mine raised a question about why the GOP are so brazen and 'smug' with what the kind of God awful things they say on TV and on the Floor of Congress . . . the Disrespect, the Racism, the blatant Obstructionism . . . ALL of it! This is what I said . . . There's some strong language!:

"Yes they are smug!

And let me say this: The denigration of our media and Press has made it so that vituperative lunacy and anything with gratuitous bombast . . . is the ONLY THING that get's any sort of 'repetition' in the media!

And it's sickening!!

About Huffington Post's 'Black Voices' and Us

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/black-voices/

Have you folks seen this new section on the Huffington Post called "Black Voices"?

What do you think about it?

Well me . . .? Not sure they're that good but they are recognizing what many of us blacks still don't:

Blacks ARE a force to be reckoned with in this country - no matter how you slice it!

It's Personal . . .

It's personal . . . something about Obama just seems to stick in their respective craws. And there is a sort of fear . . . a fear of what Obama has awoken and could still awaken in the Public.

AND it's a fear BOTH party establishments have in common!

About Conservatives . . .

Conservatives back in the early 20th Century like Ike and others that have had what would be called now progressive policies . . . have done things right.

The Conservative movement nowadays is unrecognizable.

On the NBC News Wall . . .

Around the time of the debt ceiling debacle I thought to give them . . . And the Public a piece of my mind . . .

"Press outlets like this one, are also responsible for the political dysfunction too! News no longer has any fealty to the truth but to ratings and a 'reality tv' framework.
