You know why? Because the real goal is to appease white people. White people don't like Jackson and Sharpton. That's why you find this automatic impulse among Obama supporters to slander/lie on Jackson and Sharpton even though both have either been implicitly or explicitly in his corner, from the beginning, and there is absolutely no basis to. In a sense, Obama needs their support(imagine what would be said if they had been actively raising questions or working against him all of this time), but they don't really WANT their support, because he and his people are pivoting to/concerned about what white folks think. This is some unseemly sh*t right here, as CHeese from the Wire would say.

Quit with the bs.Obama did not throw anyone under the bus.

I think congratulations are in in order. Although Ohio like New Hampshire has a history of crooked elections, I congratulate Unlce Mos Def for his Boss Lady's victories in three primaries. It is still not certain that Boss Lady will win the Texas causcuses. But, either way,

Obama Alaikum

I'm just ‘glad’ you're off suicide watch after last night, bruh. I was ‘worried’ that you started drinking that poisoned “koolaid” before your leader gave you the okay to pass it out to the rest of the believers.

It's not my fault that your candidate wants to appear "safe" to crackers, so he won't even go hard at his opponent while she bullies him time and time again. Negro pacifism is a bitch, huh? It must be quite a shock to an aspiring house n!gger that these crackers that you placate at every turn still have little love for you in the end. I actually feel sorry for you. Rejection from 'massa' must hurt the sensibilities of even the most ardent aspiring house n!gger. But that’s beside the point; tell me, how does an African/Black man reconcile an African/Black man letting a white chick assert strength over him, almost unchallenged, with being strong, inquiring minds would like to know?

For the record, I'm not for the woman that's punking your man at every turn, either. When you're ready to really challenge the system, get at me, until then, have fun being played by your 'savior' at every turn to appease crackers, Jews, homos, Mexicans, midgets, circus clowns, retired Asian "Soul Train" dancers, peeping Toms, and everybody else under the sun before you.

I thought it was a blond haired, blue eyed Jesus surogate who put the poison in that coolaid. But, what do I know?

I am vewry pragmatic. Good thing Brother Barack is pragmatic too. Osagyefo was certainly pragmatic. So was Sekou Toure. Yoy know something: you speak volumes when you get to be soooooooooooooooooo radical and "reviolutionary" that you can find absolutley no real revolutionary who can substantaiate such non-sense as I hear from you.

When are you going to get over your confusion of the African identity?

?????????????What kind of wishy-washy, flip-flopping non-sense is this? You are not for her except when she is lying about all the good things she wants to do for the Zionists and homosexuals? Then what are for her for. May I be so bold as to ask? For the record: I ain’t for her on nothing. She was talking about being vice president earlier. That would work if Brother Barack would stand her up in a corner somewhere and forget about her for the next 4 years. The problem is the Clinton Machine has a very nasty history of being associated with dead bodies. It would be Toooooooooooooooooooo easy to call up Rabi Mosad in put in a hit on the brother.

Does joining the Revolution in Zimbabwe qualify as being a challenge to the system? Or, is this talk about challenging the system just so much hot air from a half washed up, semi-retired arm-chair revolutionary? You answer that.

Obama Alaikum.

So you're saying it would be one of Obama's maternal relatives, right? That makes sense, thanks for letting me in on the secret.

And you say I'm self-important.

Tell me something I didn’t know; you can’t bring yourself to call a white woman out of her name? You don’t say, it explains everything, including your warped sexual fantasies with 60-something white women that you felt the need to share with the board. Don’t project your issues onto me.

"Pragmatic?" That's the new euphemism for "cracker kiss-ass" these days, I suppose; beats "aspiring house n!gger."

That you would try to paint your candidate as a “revolutionary” speaks volumes more than anything in my post. What's next, Condi as Assata Shakur?

You see, you continue to confuse not being in Obama's corner with being in someone else's. If you had read past posts, you would have known that I damn near swore off participating in Presidential elections after cowardly and stupid behavior by Democratic Party "leadership." I became an independent because of those issues and others.

It qualifies as a challenge. But your blind support of safe Negroism in the U.S. hurts your case. I'll reevaluate your case at a later date. Thanks for applying.

Obama Alaikum,

As ususal, most of what you said is not worth a second thought. But, I just want to clarify a couple of points.

Re-read Ghana: the Autobiography of Kwame nkrumah. That is, if you have not been too lazy to read it thus far. He explicitly points us to pragmatism. But, that was not even necesaary because any intelligent and knowledgeable person can see clearly that Nkrumah was pragmatic as were all of the African revolutionaries, especially Abdel Naser and Sekou Toure and now Robert Mugabe and Muamar Qadafi. Those who reject this leadeship are simply trying to bluff and pimp their way from actaully ever doing anything at all that is positive and constructive for Africa.

I never said that Obama was a revolutionary. However, he is a part of the benefits of the African Revolution

I know you ain't one.

Well, I have never been a Democrat and am not one now. I am in the Democratic primary to vote for Obama. That's all.

Obama Alaikum

In other words, you couldn't argue against it or come up with a 'witty' retort, but your hurt ego still forced you to respond to it with the above; pathetic.

That's where we differ, I'd label Nkrumah an African traditionalist(and, yes, "pragmatic" in that sense) rather than purely "pragmatic," in the sense you're speaking. Personally, I don’t believe an adherent of Lenin fits the bill of “pragmatist.” Indeed, "pragmatism" is a subjective term which means different things to different people. For example, we can see some of Nyerere's "pragmatic" views appearing to be more based in pride in his people, where Nkrumah, while proud of African cultural tradition, seemed at times to hold a degree of 'cynicism' towards his people(at least that's the feeling I got). Both men were against a multi-party state, but one was against it because he had fears of what it would do to his people(Nkrumah) the other was against it because he didn't believe it was necessary for his people to thrive(Nyerere). Ultimately, it seems that's where we differ in opinion(and world view) as well. I don't believe either of us has a snowballs chance in hell of changing each others perspective on this issue.

I realize that circumstance(representing a numerical minority community in a majority white country) puts Obama in a difficult position; at a disadvantage. But I simply can't accept that as an excuse for some of the Obama campaign's antics towards African/Black people, it makes me question what he'll do to our people to appear “unbiased” if he gains power.
