I often wonder how Barack Obama's legacy will impact the black community. Is it good to have a president that shows the world he's gutless and weak? How will this bode for future generations of black people who may want to run for higher office? He's seen bowing to the Saudi King Abdullah, apologizing for the United States for its arrogance and heavy handedness, and stroking the egos of Muslims by assuring them that we're not going to wage war on Islam.
Like a cowering slave, Obama hopes that if he plays into the hands of world leaders, they will have mercy on the United States and not strike us hard. In his head, he thinks his clever moves will make tyrants respect his submissiveness on some level. But, they will see him as an easier man to break and use him as a tool to further their own agenda making the United States weaker in the process.
The liberal mainstream media and others so badly wanted an African American in the White House. They didn't care if he wasn't qualified. So, what if he wasn't? In their myopic world view, the most important thing is to elevate a black man to the highest office in the country. As if it would magically right all the wrongs of our country's prior slavery and subsequent discrimination against black people.
The mainstream media stream rolled Hillary Clinton when they found a bigger token -- Barack Obama -- to alleviate their liberal guilt. They fail to see their own racism by failing to hold Barack to the same standards as other politicians. They perceive Obama as too weak to be questioned and held accountable for his actions. Why else do they protect Obama at the expense of their own journalistic integrity and legacy?
If Bush had numerous nominees with tax issues, the media would've torn him apart. With Barack, it stopped becoming a passing news story after the first two tax cheats. If Bush still had a treasury department months into his presidency with unfilled positions, would this be front page news?
Can you imagine the cross examination the media would've given the Bush administration for spending trillions of dollars without even knowing what he was signing off on? Or if the Republican controlled Congress voted on a trillion dollar stimulus bill they didn't even read?
Liberals got what they wanted...a president with black skin. Now, if he fails miserably by making us weaker economically and militarily will it be worth having the first black president go down in history as grossly incompetent? Will that ultimately advance the black community or slow their process for another few generations? All because the media wanted to advance symbolism over competence and experience.
We won't have equality in this country until all people are held accountable to the same standards. Too bad the mainstream media don't realize they keep propagating racial stereotypes instead of resolving them.
