This Is Equal?
Okay. This is the way I see it. No one ever thought Barack Obama would go as far as he has. As long as he does the right thing and doesn't go too far, he's okay with us. Yeah right! Now that it's starting to look like he may win this thing, the royal punditry has turned their backs. And I mean all of them.
It was cool in most White households to back the Negro. Almost a Putney Swope moment. (a great movie where no one thinks the Negro will get a vote, so everyone ends up voting for Putney).
Hold on. Wait a minute. I have to stop this now. I can't blame White folks. Because those that feel that way know not what they do. And I will give a hand to the millions of White folks who also recognize it's time for a change. Recognize that the old rules do not apply. Recognize that the last bit of Jim Crow must go! Recognize that we must judge a man by the content of his character, and not the color of his skin.
I teach my children to see the person, not their color. Not their race and not their religion. And for those of you that didn’t know, I’ve been f**ked by more black folks than anyone of any other color or race. Yes it’s true.
And I also want to give a shout out to all the folks around the world that see a better America with Barack Obama as the POTUS. The people that feel if America can make this change, anything is possible. For the USA to elect a Black president, it sends a message that maybe there is HOPE. Maybe we can get to great foreign policy. Maybe, just maybe we the USA can morph out of this fear based, warmongering, threatening way of dealing with our neighbors around the world.
I haven’t been a big reader as of late. But I read as much news as possible. But what I do know is that there has been fighting, and killing, and wars in the Middle East for thousands of years. I felt the Bush people did not do their homework.
1098 - 1291
The Crusades: Two Centuries of Holy War
Aug. 17, 2004 · In the late 11th century, the Pope of Rome declares a crusade to seize Jerusalem from the Arabs, who have held the Holy Land for centuries. In just a few years, European knights seize the city, slaughtering most of its Muslim and Jewish inhabitants and launching two centuries of holy war.
1453 - 1683
The Rise of the Ottoman Empire
Aug. 18, 2004 · Constantinople falls to the Ottoman Turks in 1453. The Ottoman sultans dominate the Islamic world -- ruling over a region stretching from Iran to Morocco. The Ottoman Empire becomes the most powerful state in the Mediterranean, seizing European land in the Balkans and Hungary and twice laying siege to Vienna.
1783 - 1912
Europe Carves Up the Middle East
Aug. 19, 2004 · In the midst of the French Revolution, Napoleon seizes Egypt in 1798, setting in motion century-long European scramble for the Middle East. Eventually, the British would take Egypt, Sudan and the small states of the Persian Gulf. France would seize Algeria and Morocco. And Arab resistance to European encroachment would prompt much bloody violence.
1914 - 1936
World War I and its Aftermath
Aug. 20, 2004 · World War I sees Europe complete the seizure of the Middle East. The Ottoman Empire, an ally of Germany, is crushed by Britain and France. The territories of Arabia, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Palestine fall into European hands. The French and British draw the borders of the modern Middle East, and the League of Nations sanctions their domination of the region.
1945 - 1973
The Rise of the U.S. in the Middle East
Aug. 23, 2004 · As World War II ends, the United States becomes the great outside power in the Middle East, with three main concerns: Persian Gulf oil; support and protection of Israel, founded in 1948; and containment of the Soviet Union. The goals prove difficult to manage, especially through the rise of Arab nationalism, two major Arab-Israeli wars and an Arab oil embargo.
1979 - 2003
The Clash with Islam
Aug. 24, 2004 · In 1979, Iran's Islamic Revolution and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan foreshadow a rise in Islamic radicalism. Violence intensifies, with the Iran-Iraq war, the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, and the Persian Gulf war. By the mid-1990s, America faces a new enemy: Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda. After the Sept. 11 attacks, U.S. involvement in the Middle East is deeper than ever.
False Pretenses
Following 9/11, President Bush and seven top officials of his administration waged a carefully orchestrated campaign of misinformation about the threat posed by Saddam Hussein's Iraq.
By Charles Lewis and Mark Reading-SmithJanuary 23, 2008
President George W. Bush and seven of his administration's top officials, including Vice President Dick Cheney, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice, and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, made at least 935 false statements in the two years following September 11, 2001, about the national security threat posed by Saddam Hussein's Iraq.
Nearly five years after the U.S. invasion of Iraq, an exhaustive examination of the record shows that the statements were part of an orchestrated campaign that effectively galvanized public opinion and, in the process, led the nation to war under decidedly false pretenses.

I thought it was crazy that George Bush stood there on CNN to threaten Russia for taking care of THEIR business, which I’m still not straight on what the hell is going on over there to rate an invasion of their country. But I do know that Bush in no way has the right to suggest anything to any other country on how they do their business.
We invaded a country for no other reason than to steal their oil. And look where it’s gotten us. We’re paying out the ass for oil, and Iraq has a $72,000,000,000.00 oil surplus. Duuuuh!
John McCain
Has anyone but me noticed that no one is making anything of the lies John McCain makes through his commercials, and speeches? Now don’t get wrong, I know Barack Obama stretches the truth himself, but McCain’s statements and commercials are what the MSM calls false. Well in the hood they’re called LIES!
And to make matters worse people believe this crap.
See: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/08/19/obama-to-mccain-dignify-y_n_119798.html

http://blogs.tnr.com/tnr/blogs/the_plank/archive/2008/01/18/mccain-lies-his-head-off-new-york-times-asleep-at-swich.aspx
And the list goes on, and on.
If Barack Obama slips up just once the whole world will be down on him. But John John can say anything, and get away with it. Look at the controversy around Obama not visiting the troops in Germany. He explains why he didn't go, but he was a liar as far as the MSM was concerned. Day after day, after day. And after reporters from all new agencies came out to say McCain was wrong, they still question it.
We all know, or should know that McCain’s latest commercial says Barack Obama will raise taxes on those making $40,000 of less will have their taxes raised. Sorry, but the brother never said that. In fact the way I understand it is people in that range will see a reduction in taxes. And depending on your situation, your taxes may stay the same. But will not go up.
See what I mean? But John McCain? They glaze over it, and that's it. Now I know you may think I'm being Conspiracy Brother but that's what I’m feelin.
Hillary Clinton.
Now Hillary Clinton's people are voting for her at the DNC. Ed Rendell comes out to say he's voting for Hillary. Now I know that is what the convention is about. To give delegates the chance to vote for their choice for POTUS. But something smells bad here. Clinton supporters are still crying foul without a leg to stand on.
Claiming popular vote. But the rules say delegate count. I will be the first to say get rid of the delegate count, and the electorate, and may the best person with the most votes win.
We have our presumptive nominee, but Clinton Democrats are going to vote for the person who lost the primary? Even worse, they're threatening to vote for John McCain. EEwwwwwww! (young girls response to old man trying to get young girl).
So this tells me they would rather have four more years of the same shit, than vote for a Black man.
Some say I’m paranoid. But what else could this mean?
Now look. I may a crazy MF, but I am not stupid. I know this country can not stay on this track. There is nothing being done about illegal immigration. Our economy is on pace to transform us into a third world country.
If we are truly looking for a leader to get us out of the shit we're in - if we're truly trying to do the right thing, why would we not vote for the person that won? Because the wrong person won!!!!
Like I said, it was okay when Barack Obama was just a novelty, but now that he’s deep within the mix everything changes. It’s what we Black folk know very well. "You can look at it, but you can't have it".
I don't know about you, but I believe it's time for a change. It's time to move away from the old way of doing things. John McCain is too old. And I don’t mean that in a bad way. It's time to pass the torch to our young people. It's time to trust that what we as parents have taught our children is instilled in them.
I'm 54 years old. Hell I really don't want to have to worry about this shit any longer. Give it to the one's that will be here in 30 to 40 years to police it. Give it to those who have the stamina to keep up with it. Give it away, Give it away, Give it away YO!
The Polls.
A dividing line shows up in this poll, according to the analysis by Mr. Cooper and Ms. Sussman:
Mr. Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee, was trusted more by voters to handle their top concern, the economy. Sixty-five percent of those surveyed said they were confident that Mr. Obama would make the right decisions on the economy, compared with 54 percent who expressed confidence that Mr. McCain would. When it came to foreign policy, the image was inverted: 66 percent expressed confidence in Mr. McCain to make the right decisions, and 55 percent in Mr. Obama.

Today I came home from work, and the news folks were pushing the fact that McCain was now leading Barack Obama by 5 points. It didn't matter that he was ahead 5 points in a poll other than who would you want as your president. "McCain is ahead in the polling of people who want the ice cream man to make a comeback". GeeeZZZZZZ!
My wife wants to know who it is they’re polling. She has never had a call to be polled in her entire life.
And what they don’t tell you is that you can only be polled if you have a land line. Well there are millions of young people in this country that do not have land lines, and they’re voting for Barack Obama. So this reason may be his saving grace.
Now when Barack Obama won the primary I was up front that he not choose Hillary Clinton as his V.P.
Not because I don’t like her but, if he is truly talking about distancing us from the old Washington, there is no way he could pick her. But through the MSM it’s been beaten into our minds that he can’t win without her. And he probably won’t.
Experience.
What the fuck. The Bush people said the same thing about John Kerry and look where their experience has taken us.
If you haven't been the POTUS you don't have experience. OKAY! It’s pretty plain and simple.Obama is not ready. What makes McCain ready? We see what he's ready for. He immediately jumped in the fray around Russia, and Georgia. Oh yeah I forgot he and the Georgian president talk often.
This man voted 95% of the time with George Bush. He wants to keep the Bush tax breaks. He wanted to stay in Iraq until the Iraq folks sided with Obama. Then McCain claimed that he could get the troops out sooner. Dumb ass! That’s all I have to say on this matter.
Black Folks.
Now don't get me wrong. If the majority of lazy ass niggahs that never vote would get up off their lazy ass's we would be able to vote anyone into office that we wanted. But nooooooooooooooooooo!
I got to have my Play station. I got to have my 40. I got to have my blunt. Why should I vote? No one cares anyway!
You should vote maybe because thousands of Black folks died to get your silly ass the right to vote. Maybe because thousands of Black men died to make sure you would be called a man, and not an animal!
Whew!
Okay. I tried to stay away from the political thang for a few days to simmer down. But I'm seeing that it didn't do me any good.
I'm mad. I'm mad that as smart as Barack Obama seems to be, he's acting like a dummy when it comes to the real world. I know the brother wants to run a clean campaign, but enough is enough.
This motherefu**er is lying on you, and you're not standing up for yourself. This motherf**r is slighting your manhood. Slighting your character. Shit man he's slighting your patriotism!! Patriotism? Damn! Did I say that??
It's bad enough that Obama had to relinquish his Blackness, but now his manhood? We all know that he would never have gotten this far if he acted like a true black man. He would have never gotten this far if he truly acted like a down brother. Somebody's White folks would be too afraid of that.
It's a miracle he's this far after the world found out he has Jay Z on his iPod. They were going to burn him at the stake once they found out he was listening to Ludacris.
But let's backup a moment.
He's also White, Isn't he?
Daddy.
