Obama, but I do have a problem with Black Agenda Report.<BR/><BR/>It's seems like BAR, while rasing some profound issues, loath to give Barack any love on any level. BAR have not addressed the rampant racism that Barack and Michelle have had to deal with. BAR did not vett hillary, and have not vetted mccain to the same degree that they have Barack. <BR/><BR/>To make matters worse, BAR endoursed Howard Dean in 04, but have not endorsed Barack. And they certainly have not endorsed Barack over McCain. <BR/><BR/>So, while I agree that BAR provide a valuable service in pointing out Barack's short comings especially as they relate to Black folks, I believe BAR could bring some balance to their reporting of Sen. Obama.Imhotephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05135775572019402064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803135128442396638.post-26522961878623929062008-06-15T08:53:00.000-05:002008-06-15T08:53:00.000-05:00I think we are assuming that Obama is a black man ...I think we are assuming that Obama is a black man they same way I'm a black man, or Imohotep is a black man or Uppity negro.<BR/><BR/>Obama has shown throughout this process that he is his own man, that he has his own internal compass and his own goals.<BR/><BR/>I too have been peeved that he didn't more fully discuss race, but then I realized that I was holding him to a higher standard than I have held any other politician. This man had just given one f the most dangerous political speeches ever, and I wanted him to do even more.<BR/><BR/>I agree with y'all that life is about maintaining integrity, but I think each individual decides for themselves what integrity means to them. I can't expect Obama to live by the exact same standards that I live by. I can't expecthim to deal with issues of race the way I would deal with them.<BR/><BR/>Obama has discussed the way he's been lumped in unfairly with any black person with a divergent view, but he's done it softly and without pointint out the inherent racism in that practice because he understands the game. Remember, he's playing the game on a level no other black person has ever attained, so it's all new ground.Big Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02510881583909431416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803135128442396638.post-52302688783280125502008-06-14T22:51:00.000-05:002008-06-14T22:51:00.000-05:00"My whole thing is that Obama needs to weigh his o...<I>"My whole thing is that Obama needs to weigh his options, which is more important?

He had an audience and Jeremiah Wright single-handedly provided the opportunity to discuss intellectually that which is race in this country. Granted his National Press Club tongue-in-cheek somewhat devolved into Showtime at the Apollo and he thought, perhaps, because the gallery was in his corner, that somehow he was all good, he still brought up crucial issues that although many blacks cringed when he spoke, but the cringe was more because we were all worried about how white folk were going to interpret it.<BR/><BR/>I said all that to say that I lost some respect for Obama because he quickly assuaged the sensibilities of whites by not just getting rid of Wright, but also the issue of race. Think about it, he hasn't touched the issue since that day. Didn't even talk about it when he rescinded his membership at Trinity because of the Father Pfleger incident (even though in hindsight, Fr. Pfleger was dead on about his analysis of HRC).<BR/><BR/>My whole thing is that Obama needs to weigh his options, which is more important?

Here’s a quick test on whether Obama should be considered fully black: Poof! Barack Obama has been magically transported to a KKK meeting in deepest, whitest Klanistan without his Secret Service detail. There’s a rope and a tree nearby. What happens to Obama? If you say, “why, Barack Obama walks out of there alive, of course” then sure, he’s biracial. Also, you’re a fucking idiot. To everybody who cares about Obama’s racial identity, either positively or negatively, the man is a black man, married to a black woman, who has black children. Black black black black black black black black.<BR/><BR/>It sure as hell matters to Fox News, which is why it’s dog whistling about Barack so loudly that it’s vibrating the windows. Calling Michelle Obama a “baby mama” isn’t just Fox News having a happy casual larf; it’s using urban slang to a) remind you the Obamas are black, b) belittle a woman of considerable personal accomplishment, and c) frame Barack Obama’s relationship to his wife and children in a way that insults him, minimizes his love for and commitment to his family, and reinforces stereotypes about black men..."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803135128442396638.post-71256515683065976892008-06-13T10:20:00.000-05:002008-06-13T10:20:00.000-05:00I really enjoy reading this blog in the morning.

And Chappelle played the perfect, horrified straight man. Excellent acting all around! <BR/><BR/>And while I'm basically on the same as you, my interpretation is <I>slightly</I> different. I don't think Brady was trying to prove to Black people that they needed to respect him as a "man". I think Brady's too enlightened to believe that pimping and beating on women, even in a satirical skit, proves one's "manhood". <BR/><BR/>I think it was a straight up commentary on "Black-on-Black" stereotyping, and how quick we are to judge each other harshly. I think it was about how our narrow definition of what constitutes "true Blackness" has debased us to the point where manliness equals violence and degradation, even (or especially) against our own.<BR/><BR/>And let me not absolve myself of all guilt in this matter. I, too, prior to seeing that skit, harbored some less than charitable feelings against Brady as one of White America's favorite Black men. <BR/><BR/>And as for the Obama aspect, I totally agree.Oaktown Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00811331454878606058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803135128442396638.post-56669731528652542412008-06-13T01:04:00.000-05:002008-06-13T01:04:00.000-05:00I'm sure his pimp hand is quivering right now, but...I'm sure his pimp hand is quivering right now, but he might have to put it away.<BR/><BR/><BR/>MIGHT? <BR/><BR/>Sheeeeeit.<BR/><BR/><BR/>The Pimp hand is NEEEEEVER gonna be seen in polite company.<BR/><BR/>what i wouldn't GIVE to be a fly on the wall at Chez Obama and hear those two go back and forth about YT acting a fool.<BR/><BR/>Must See TV.<BR/><BR/><BR/>Now MICHELLE?
