Wright, Obama and the chickens coming home to roost
April 29th, 2008 . by MartyBarack Obama, born in Hawaii, who only a few months ago was accused of not being black enough is now, in the eyes of many Americans, a bedfellow of Farrakhan, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright and the black liberation movement. Talk about chickens coming home to roost.
Obama, who somewhere along the way decided to ride the coat-tails of the African-American experience, something his DNA has no connection to whatsoever, is now reaping the flip side of that experience. Obama, raised by a white woman from Kansas, a distant relative of Dick Cheney, thought that by mimicking Martin Luther King’s speaking style, he could garner nearly 100% of the African-American Democratic primary vote and displace Bill as the first black president.
What Barack failed to take into account is that there’s a reason why there’s never before been a genuinely African-American president and that is because we enslaved, raped and lynched them over a period of four hundred years and there remains some lingering resentment and animosity.
