Justifiable Accelerant

It is perplexing to the discriminating voter that this mediocre man, with no substantial political background has captured a majority of Americans imagination.  Mainstream media seems to ignore Obama’s prominence in the corruption, scandals and his controversial radical stance on abortion. It is apparent to even the nonprofessional political voyeur that Obama is not fit to be Senator — not to mention– the next President of the United States.

When have we grown so accustomed to questionable characteristics of choice by world political leaders, immorality, corruption, and scandals that we no longer recognized them as a part of the fundamental characteristics required of our highest office.  A firestorm of a more contentious and scathing brand of political commentary has been born, finding its voice in the typical white voter - 27 ~ 45 years old - that has been backed into a pugilistic racial corner that makes us ponder our values.  

This put one of the oldest axioms into use, ~who in the hell would take the side of Hitler~, and to choose a qualified leader over the Black of Obama’s skin color must make a racist of Hitler proportions.  Meanwhile the strategic plan created an overwhelming racial white apathy and in a brilliant political rope a dope a knock out punch was delivered.  Thus, creating what we can define as the “OBAMAWIGGER.” 

The Obamawigger phenomenon consists of white apathetic United States voters, looking past presidential candidate qualifications, focusing only on his classification of race.  Race fueled with apathy shoved into the forefront of all white voters’ minds.  This combination created a facade that a majority of whites could embrace a black candidate.  This illusion brought huge numbers of white support in essentially white caucuses as it did in Iowa.  This unprecedented historical achievement for Obama campaign was a great victory.  The question now was what to do with this new frontier?

It appears that the Obama campaign is going to parlay the apathetic white voter with the 18 ~24’s creating a genuflecting vortex of white apathy against the disenfranchised white voter.  This in turn has created a new fissure in the racial divide across Americas checked racial landscape.  White apathy aligned with black unrealistic expectations. 

Can we not say that he has done this all at the expense of black people?  African American voters are expected to make up about half the electorate Barack falls short on devotion.  He has shown by constantly, relentlessly sending out signals to white people that a vote for Barack Obama, and that an Obama presidency, would signal the beginning, of the end of black-specific agitation.

On the other hand, the two main political poverty pimps, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton are not going to be out of job when Barack Obama becomes president.  His presidency does not destroy black poverty, radical inequality, and social injustice, to the contrary it ignores it.  Thus, fueling the racial divide by swelling the ranks of history’s denial of the Deep South stereotypes and foster the rejuvenation of judging folks on their color and not their true content of character.

He has gone to extraordinary lengths to accomplish his goal that would conceivably take race discourse off the table.  Why?  There is nothing to fear.  Blacks in general have voted democratic upwards of 90% or better in the last 3 presidential elections and with 98% reported already in his pocket nothing will change for blacks. 

A few words from the Political Pyro (via the Obamas) that I believe say it all.

An Obama presidency "…would likely lead to further integration and/or assimilation into a black cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society; never becoming a full participant.

You go into these urban areas in Chicago, DC, or Atlanta, and, like a lot of inner cities, the jobs have been gone now for 40 years and nothing’s replaced them.  And they fell through the Truman Administration, and the Johnson Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not.  And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or drugs or gangsta rap or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them, or anti-immigrant sentiment, or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.                 

This realization has presently, made my goals to actively utilize my resources to benefit the White community more desirable.  " 

When it comes to race and the Obama campaign, the audacity is palpable in his message of HOPE.   

The eighties were an era when our country prospered tremendously. There are many arguments on both sides of the numbers… but they were… more often than not good times for a majority of Americans. Then we had the excessive speculation in the "information super highway" and junk bonds that came from the greed, up thru the late 1990’s. This kept the stock market artificially high through the 90’s.

 Essentially what happened in the new millennium… We had the early rumblings of recession.  A slight market correction… Then 911, and a massive shift of focus. Clinton’s global economy started to take off… We got complacent with an unrealistically inflated real estate market combined with the Feds keeping interest rates artificially low for a prolonged period of time… HISOTRICAL!   We became to rely upon these two things in order for the economy to remain on an even keel.  Remember… For any economy to function properly, total demand must equal total supply and we were way off balance. 

The Feds keeping interest rates artificially low… its no wonder that the two major mortgage lenders our in major trouble. To protect these lenders the U.S. government is looking at a bailout.  Is that priceless… they cause the problem and take responsibility… ON OUR DIME!

 The concept of buying now and paying later filled the already bloated belly of the American middle class. With more and more credit sales, and borrowing against inflated values of real estate the middle-class and poor had reached a point of no return and had to stop buying things with installment credit…  they had already mortgaged their children and grand children futures, and could not get their greedy, bloated, selfish fingers on another generations future. 

As these two industries began to slow and at a near stop, confidence in the economy is wavering.  Higher and higher energy prices rippling though every consumer perceived "need".  I say "need" as they are no longer goods and services but consumer gifted gluttony.  We want the $5 coffee the gas guzzling SUV and the loan to pay for it… but there is very little left and this dependence has brought skepticism that has produced a "fringe" luxury ~ designer coffees, food, expensive gadgets ~ item economical backlash that now sees company’s like Starbucks, Sharper Image… etc… closing stores or just closing its doors and stalwarts like GM stock prices trading at all time lows. 

Nearly tapped out on credit and rising energy costs combined with a sagging real estate market the vast majority of the "working poor" of our population, not having enough money to satisfy all their credit liabilities and are pressured into a non saving, non spending corner. 

The economy being reliant upon the banking and real estate industries to expand, grow found  investors staying home… thus prosperity is in large part only touching the rich among us.  The dependence upon essentially two industries that are built upon a foundation of artificial means have the world ready to fill the vacuum created by our  "working poor" having to much perceived wealth, borrowing on it… getting fatter and fatter… and the pig… being a hog now, is ready for the slaughter. 

European nations not struggling to rebuild and a strong Eros… not as in the 30’s and 40’s, are poised to gobble up American industries and real estate at fire sale prices.  Side note… It is a fallacy to believe that the US was aided by World War I and II to break the 1920 and great depression of the late 30’s. The U.S. government lent its European allies $7 billion, and then another $3.3 billion by 1920. By the Dawes Plan of 1924 the U.S. started lending to Axis Germany. American foreign lending continued in the 1920’s climbing to a little over $900 million in 1924, and around $1.25 billion in 1927 and 1928. Of these funds, more than 90% were used by the European allies to purchase U.S. goods the economy of the 1920’s was one very much dependent upon confidence. This is my point with this brief history lesson… Confidence, and it is this lack of confidence that has lead to our current exaggerated tumble. 

We are "a nation of whiners" as Gramm has said, and we should be ashamed of ourselves.  The rich, middle class, poor… whatever you call yourself may have to slow or stop spending on "fringe" luxury items… its called sacrifice.

 What I think we have to worry about if we don’t start acting like Americans again is assimilation

HEY WORLD!… AMERICA FOR SALE CUZ WE DON’T WANT TO SACRAFICE!

 Oh… And giving the keys to my 16 year old to drive my family… not a chance.  I’ll let grandpa do the driving.

From Wikipedia

Wigger ~ The term most likely stems from a portmanteau of the word white and the derogatory term nigger. The word is considered offensive by some because of its similarity to nigger in addition to reflecting stereotypical notions about urban blacks.

The phenomenon of white people adopting stereotypical black mannerisms, slang, and apparel has appeared in several generations since slavery was abolished in the western world. The concept has been documented in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and other white-majority countries.

Fast forward to today…

OBAMAWIGGER ~  The phenomenon of white apathetic United States voters, looking past a presidential candidates qualifications and only focusing on his classification of race.  The concept has been documented in Justifiable Accelerant article ~ When White Apathy Trumps Unrealistic Black Expectations.
