The Dream Team


Senator Barak Obama picked Senator Joe Biden to be his running mate... it was predicted by many at least a month ago.
But let's think about this choice... it appears to be great on the surface. Smooth Barry and Joltin' Joe!

I wager it's the best possible choice, but the question is will Barak let Joe do all the shitting on McCain?

I was just skimming through this week's TIME magazine, the one with Barak's face on the cover with the "Special: The Democrats" emblazoned across the top, and Joe Klein -- ever the nay-sayer (with good reason, though) -- makes a specific point about Obama needing to actualize his feelings to actionable items that will enable white people to get with the program.

See the way I see it, it didn't matter who Obama chose for his Veep (except for Hillary, still too much of a lightning rod; plus Bill didn't want her to win anyway... on that in a second), because what the race ultimately comes down to is:
Will the non-Black Americans -- whites, latinos, East Asians, and South Asians -- pull the arm in the ballot box for a Black man? The most vilified personage on the planet for the past 400 years? Think about it 400 years Black people have been demonized by whites, and most violently in the mass media age of the past 50 to 75 years (glossy photographs and film strips really know how to make a nigga seem to be the Public Enemy No. 1 for all God fearing Americans... and anyone who aspires for the American Dream (the piece of propaganda that the entire world had bought, until Dubya Bush assumed the reigns and stuck his limp dick into everyone's ass).

Of course a good percentage of whites have voted for Barak, but will they do so when it counts? The true believers are all the under 25 year olds, and shit even the under 21 years olds -- these people, this section of the population can make history on such a proportion that it'll be, it'll be Historical!!! Shit, if I know another word that summarizes what's going to happen better, do you?

Joe Biden has been someone I thought could have been a President in various other election cycles, and perhaps he might get his chance to run for the big office in eight years, but we'll have to see what the next few weeks tell us... it's Obama's election to lose and he needs to stay on message -- the GOP, led by Dubya Bush, fucked this country's economy and allowed the uber-class to make more money than they should have at the expense of those who toil and break their backs to make these rich peeps their cash -- wage slavery is a term I throw around quiet a bit, but think about it... working hard under the Bush regime... has done nothing to get you ahead. Working with a hand in the cookie jar and plastic ranch-flavored smile on your face is how you get your cash... can anyone say Jack Abramhoff?

On to my statement about Bill Clinton, this is the man who made us think twice when he claimed that getting his dick slobbed on in the Oval Office WAS NOT CONSIDERED SEX!!! Now a man that smart, that shrewd with his words didn't loose his ability to stay on message when he dropped all these bombs during the Primary that made him fall out of favor with the preponderance of Blacks, the Blacks who loved him like they ain't supposed to love no white man!

So we want to see Biden be the attack dog for Obama, but Barak needs to do the jugular slices himself. It's a perfect way to tag-team the so-called Maverick, and send the GOP rule.

It's nothing short of state-sanctioned revolt that we as a people get the GOP out of the cone of power IN ALL FEDERAL BRANCHES... especially the Supreme Court. Perhaps that John Grisham novel, I believe it's called The Pelican Brief, should be dusted off the shelf.

BLACK & TAN FANTASY


Even though is one of my favorite Duke Ellington songs, I have to posit this post as the fantasy is exactly that – a sham, when it comes to Blacks and Hispanics in America.

The recent Nevada Democratic caucus has underscored something that the media isn’t talking about – which is how much Hispanics want to distance themselves from Blacks, who I think they generally hold contempt for. In fact, I’d wager that most people of color hold American niggas in contempt. Why would the Hispanics want to distance themselves from niggas? Simple, all people of color want the benefits of being a minority but don’t want to be permanently labeled as one... which is what happened to American Blacks.

It’s ironically fitting that I post this on the Martin Luther King Day holiday, where this year also marks the 40th anniversary of his political slaying which was preceded by one of King’s most interesting speeches, the I’ve Been To The Mountain Top speech for the striking sanitation workers – a job category that niggas were working real hard to get away from. Although you do see a good amount of niggas slavin’ to pick up the trash of others (the worst part about it is most of people’s trash ain’t been triaged! At least recycle them water bottles, soda cans and beer!)

The one thing that Hispanics have benefited from tremendously is the water-cannon and dog attacks that Blacks took to enable other People of Color to grab their piece of the American Dream, whereas niggas have been left in extra wet clothing and with still-fresh bite-marks… a lot of good that do ‘em.

The nexus with Blacks and Hispanics or Latinos as they want to be referenced as some of the time, is that they don’t get along. If you look at the race-on-race violence within, say Los Angeles over the past year, there has been a disturbing trend in the straight up murderin’ goin’ on with Latins up here buckin’ down niggas like it was Wabbit Season or somethin’! A lot o’ it is gang initiation ritual and rites o’ passage, but it conveniently leaves the White Boy and the Asian the fuck outta Dodge (if white youth were getting’ kilt the way niggas be gettin’ hemmed up, Mayor Antonio Villariagosa would have the national guard up in this piece!)

What does all this mean? It means that Latinos will not vote for Barak Obama – I didn’t about this until after the Nevada vote, where the Unions backed Obama publicly, but their rank-n-file didn’t get down with the Agent of Change.

Somebody over the weekend put it best, the Soccer Mom votes for Barak and the Waitress Ma votes for Hillary; guess where a huge swath of Latinos fall --especially in the Southwest.

I chalk up the inability of other people of color to trust a Black man with their future to that stalwart of all stalwarts, the Anti-Nigga Machine and its unstoppable, incestuous propaganda that disparaged and continues to disparage Black people. Maybe Hispanics or Latinos claim “white” on census type forms!

What was killing me is how certain Black political leaders are up in the piece claimin’ that Bill Clinton is just as Black, if not more Black, than Barak Obama – and it’s attributable to what? His behavior of cigar-fucking an intern? Eating fried chicken in the Oval Office? Cheating on his wife? And talking her out of leaving his ass? Now, if you saw tonight's CNN debate in South Carolina, you'da seen how smooth talkin' Barak was in answering the inane question on whether or not Bill as the 1st nigga president.

Now, I’m not Clinton hater by any means. Bill Clinton is my boy; yet think there will never be an opportunity for America to put a Black man in office, and a lot of it has to do with Obama’s designate for being An Agent of Change.

As we get closer to Super Tuesady, Barak Obama's putting out his campaign platform -- which is gonna be critical to get white people to vote for him in the numbers to overshadow the Latino vote -- which isn't going to hook a Person of Color, let along vote for a Democrat. It's a known fact that Latins are really under the GOPs thumb, and claim white -- that is if they're not illegal and able to vote in the first place!

AMERIKKKA'S SINN

You probably wonder why I haven’t weighed in on the so-called Racist remarks that emerged from the Hillary Clinton for President Campaign.

Well, why the hell should I?

It’s expected that I do, and so I’m not.

Of course this backstabbing is just a dangerous foreshadowing of what the GOP are going to do to Barak Obama, should he receive the nomination. I honestly believe that once the Democrats get closer to choosing Barak or Hillary, and the GOP narrows their field to two candidates, GOP media-assassination gangs (like the people who developed the Willie Horton advert or the Swift Boat shit) are going to slowly leak racist and misogynistic negative ads on the internet, so that by the time the Democratic National Convention rolls around there’s going to be an undercurrent of anti-Black and anti-Women throughout the South.

Take a look at what’s being done to Barak Obama right this fuckin’ minute!!! He’s being accused of ibeing of Muslim (which I guess it tantamount to being a card-carrying Communist in the Cold War Days), of clandestinely using a Qu’ran instead of a bible during his swearing in/oath of office ceremonies, and of not reciting the Pledge of Allegiance (which is something I haven’t done since I was 15, nor I have I sung the so-called national anthem) at any time! Uh… doesn’t a supreme court justice hold out the bible for swearing in Senators?!?! And hasn’t Barak led the charge in the Senate for time to time when presiding over the Senate, and how could he be a Muslim, when he’s been seen at church??! What happened to freedom of religion? Oh, I forgot if it’s not a Western European approved religion, then you best back the hell up!

These are the type of attacks that are insidious, because they are completely unable to be proved, and yet what do they do? They impugn Obama’s integrity, call into question his patriotism and associate him with “the evil ones” in the minds and eyes of the weak-fucks who believe being a Christian – especially an evangelical one – is paramount to presiding in the Oval Office. Dubya’s debacle of a presidency had “strong Christian values” as one of its cornerstones, yet the pure evil, vindictive attitude and shockingly amoral behavior that was vomited out from his command center is truly oxymoronic; even his 2000 catch-phrase of Compassionate Conservative smacks of embracing a Southern Christian flair. Said flair is close in blind spirit to the Taliban and other foolish Islamic fundamentalists.

The GOP are just sharpening their knives for Hillary and Obama – either one enables the GOP dirty trick purveyors to have a field day. They must be jacking off now (or in the case of Anne Coulter, fist-fucking herself with a dock-workers glove) with glee, because they will challenge themselves by having to be shrewd and not come across as racist or anti-female as the get ready to rip.

Obama's message for CHANGE is what the world needs. For the country not to get behind him means that we deserve everything we get over the next 10 years -- whether it's three more terrorist attacks, a depression fueled from a run on the dollar, trade deficits that are sky high, loss of all manufacturing within the continental United States, mass exodus of money and brainiacs... expect it all and then some.
