How Obama Destroyed a New Generation of Black People
I knew immediately when I watched Barack Obama the first time that he was a fraud. Most people know the guy who looks good on paper, but who is really the empty suit, working an angle. Obama worked the angle.
Obama parlayed his speech at the 2004 DNC convention into an amazing career. He took faking to an entirely different level, when he decided to run for president after admitting he was not qualified. Why let that stop him.
Obama brought the confluence of the “acceptable” black president for the Left with the need for reparations. He added Muslim to his identity, and he had the recipe for total success, delaying Hillary Clinton’s political aspirations, if not permanently dismantling them.
Despite my complete disdain for Obama’s policies and knowing that he would be as useless as a pocket on the back of a shirt, there was a small part of me that hoped he would not be a total failure, since he would be considered a “first.” Blacks have it in our DNA to cheer for the first. The first black heavyweight champ, tennis great, golf great, baseball great, and so on. Each of these firsts represents a piece of our proud legacy of overcoming against all odds.
Nevertheless, cheering for Obama would be difficult, since we disagree so vehemently. I could not support his policies, as a man who had total disdain for America cannot be my friend or leader. However I could support what Obama might represent as a first.
Despite knowing Obama would be a fiscal moron, and antithetical to everything America stands for, I theorized that black Liberals would be empowered by Obama for two reasons.
Either they would say, “Finally, a black president, so we can move on from using race as an excuse.” I believed as did many Americans of all colors that the election of Obama would erase all the excuses, and blacks would revert back to the time with we demanded success, excellence, education, morality, and so on from ourselves
If black Liberals didn’t adopt this view, I believed that Obama would not allow excuses, given his background. He would dismiss the notion that America had failed blacks, not allowing people to fall back on poverty, single-parenthood, and the host of other excuses used by black Liberals for their lack of success, and dependency on government.
Obama is lucky that black people have not burned down Washington. Because if Obama were “lucky” enough to be a white Republican president, he would be the most despised president by blacks in modern history.
In a time where Obama and other Leftists talk of white privilege, the luckiest man on the planet is Barack Obama, lucky to be considered black, in a world that now despises white.
Barack Obama could have indeed transcended race and built on the amazing racial strides America has made in the past few decades. He squandered those gains, setting America back into the 1960’s. Obama failed an entire generation of blacks, and that is the sad part of his failed legacy.
