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.
