Obama Worship Reaches Frightening Level

 

It was clear during the tidal wave of 2008 other wise known as the Obama campaign that there was indeed a sort of messianic adulation surrounding then Senator Obama. Sadly, it has not dissipated even after four years of a dismal economic record. The worship of president Obama has reached a frightening level. I was horrified when I tuned in to a talk radio show and heard a college professor touting her book "The Gospel According To Apostle Barack". Barbara Thompson, at Florida A&M University compares Barack to Martin Luther King and Jesus for his focus on the poor.  Just this past week, a controversy was stoked at the depiction of Barack in the likeness of Jesus complete with rose thorns simulating crucifixion. This type of idol worship particularly in the black community is a result of four decades of indoctrination by our education system.
 
Since the death of MLK, blacks have especially been thoroughly conditioned for the return of a black messiah. The end of the civil rights movement paved the way for a second act, led by a new class of MLK wannabes. black children as a result of this myopia can seldom muster any other historical black figure to discuss other than King. The election of Barack Obama represented the culmination of forty years of activism for the black elite-many of them raised during and immediately after the King era. For many, Barack Obama is more than just a politician he is indeed a prophet sent to black America. The secular black elites who have anointed Obama's as the savior are held in high esteem by blacks overall and the mainstream media as the voices of black America-which this makes this type of idolatry especially dangerous. At the end of the day, there may be a silver lining in all this. There are only four years left in the Barack Obama era. Once his reign ends and the lives of most black Americans remains unchanged as it undoubtedly will, this civil right movement 2.0 will lose its breath. No longer will the Democrats be able to wind up black voters and march them to the polls to punch their tickets. True change for black America will not come from a charismatic politician from Academia, but from a culture that practices values over politics.

The Legend Of The Unarmed White Man (Revised)

Image
The August 2014 shooting death of unarmed black teen Mike Brown in St. Louis by a white police officer and the subsequent decision by the grand jury not to indict has brought unrest to American Streets. The protestors feel that police are shooting and killing mostly unarmed black men at alarming rates. Many also believe that police interaction amongst white's is all together different due to the benefits of "white privilege". "If that had of been a white man..." is a common refrain from blacks when speaking of a negative experience with a white police officer. The media plays an integral role in these perceptions by continuously assaulting us with images of black victims and white perpetrators. In light of the Brown incident and other controversial shootings this year, the adjective attached to these perceived victims is "unarmed". The term is a staple in the lexicon of the American media which has painted a false sense of reality for millions of Ame

BP Crisis Brings Out Radical Left

Image
Once again the left, with the help of Jesse Jackson shows its ignorance of and hatred for capitalism. The BP crisis which began with the explosion of an offshore oil rig which resulted in a fire that killed 19 people. The pipe located one mile undersea began to spew oil into the gulf and has for over fifty days now. The Reverend has been for weeks calling for a boycott of BP. Now comes word that several BP stations have been vandalized. The fact that such vitriol and anger results from what was clearly a tragic accident is surely tragic in itself. Someone should explain to the reverend that oil companies exited the gas station business years ago. The stations are by and large owned by franchisees and independent operators who squeeze out razor thin margins on gasoline-hence the reason for the lottery tickets, potato chips and soft drinks that has become a staple of these often family owned businesses. To make matters worse, the Rev. Jackson stated that "the mom and pop stations a

Uncovering A Gigantic Royal Scam

Image
The old saying "Too many chiefs and not enough Indians" is by modern standards politically incorrect. However there is a new phenomena that is could take its place. There seems to be too many Kings and Queens and not enough subjects. Peruse Facebook and one will see untold references to "Black Kings" and "Black Queens" which is intended to foster self esteem in the black community. What is wrong with this one may ask? It is built on a ridiculous premise, historical ignorance and grotesque revisionism. For starters, every culture at one time or another has been ruled by monarchs. So by this logic every Anglo British citizen is a King or a Queen since they still have a symbolic monarchy today. Kings and Queens are mere titles-not character traits. Monarchs were selected by either bloodline or bloody conquest. Some of the most dastardly rulers in history were Kings. King John, Herod, Leopold, Caligula are just a few-African rulers were hardly an exception. I
