He came from humble beginnings, unlike so many of his predecessors who came from backgrounds that almost guaranteed their futures among the political elite. I am so thankful for Obama. His intelligence is beyond question, and these days, beyond equal in Washington. He is compassionate, thinking and does nothing without first seeing the issue/problem from all angles. He is going to be a great president, and he is going to do great things for our country.<BR/><BR/>PS - I read your diaries all the time over at Kos.

No. But lately it feels like he's taking the Black vote for granted, and too many of us are willing to allow him to NOT pay attention to us because he is Black and we're just so convinced he'll work for us if he gets in office. There is something to be said for accountability, and right now he has none in the African American community. He could denounce and reject all of us, and that would be okay with most of us because "the man has to get elected first." I'm sorry, but I don't agree with that premise. We all want attention, I'm not asking him to grow and Afro and run around singing "Say it loud, I'm Black and I'm proud." but I also don't think that everytime we see him on TV he needs to be surrounded by white people. <BR/><BR/>But I guess we are still playing that game of inferiority where we need to be as close to White as we can get to be successful.Muzikal203https://www.blogger.com/profile/05112195636180611912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-793691094625935244.post-22311441572549202202008-06-20T11:06:00.000-04:002008-06-20T11:06:00.000-04:00Amazing.

And after he did so much to assimilate (for lack of a better word) into the African American community, for him to feel he has to distance himself from that part of himself to win an election is disheartening, and to me suggests he's just another politician willing to do anything to get elected.Muzikal203https://www.blogger.com/profile/05112195636180611912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-793691094625935244.post-20670114412192568192008-06-20T08:46:00.000-04:002008-06-20T08:46:00.000-04:00Funny - I thought I was the only person who notice...Funny - I thought I was the only person who noticed about that ad. Indeed, the only Black face in it is during what I guess is a meeting of some kind - and it is quickly superimposed by the message "took people from welfare to work."<BR/><BR/>Thus, again, reinforcing a link between Black people and pathology, the message that whites need to hear to feel safe with him (withouth knowing they need to for the most part; the perniciousness of this racism thing is so deep, always, that virtually nobody means to feel this way, anymore). I guess I shouldn't complain because there was a dearth of Asians and Latinos in it too. <BR/><BR/>To watch folks squeal in delight over at DailyKOS reviewing it was really tough to take. And silencing, to me - I am too weary.<BR/><BR/>The only place we disagree is in our view that the "de-Blackification" has always been there in Barack Obama's campaign, with the notable exception of when he shifted strategy right before North Carolina, after polls showed he was losing the Black vote to Hillary Clinton and finally went into our communities to talk *to* us, instead of at us. It made the difference. The combination of that strategy and Michelle (*everyone* I know in the 'hood, 'burbs, you name it LOVES Michelle) was enough to cause lots of folks to say "We can WORK this thing!" and the rest is history: 80-95% of our votes in every remaining contest.<BR/><BR/>But now, he's back to same-old same old. I probably could handle that but for the apparently-forced changes being imposed on Michelle. That proves to me, sadly, that we can never be "non-threatening" enough, as Black people proud of Blackness. Because even innocuous pride like hers gets equated to advocating rioting and screaming "Black Power" -- which we all know causes even most liberal white people to pee their pants.Shanikkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08789072003337258673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-793691094625935244.post-72823272008563593032008-05-30T10:04:00.000-04:002008-05-30T10:04:00.000-04:00Wow, great article!

And by partisan I don't just mean Democrats vs Republicans, but Obama partisans vs Clinton partisans.<BR/>In a way it's kind of comforting to see similar thoughts and feeling occurring to someone else who I have know (well, kind of.. known in the internet sense of the word) for a little while now, and have often found myself generally agreeing with. I think it's a good thing to every once in a while reject politics as it is now, and start looking at it again as an outsider, but at some point you gotta come back in and work within the system. But every time you place yourself outside the system for a bit and look from there, you can hopefully notice a little bit more to try to change when you throw yourself back into the lion's pit that is politics today.<BR/><BR/>Feel better, and know there are others out there who agree with you.<BR/>If only love could transcend the political divide, what a world that would be!Xeratunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027344900273399985noreply@blogger.com
