Taking a look into the election and seeing all the energy and effort my people put into ensuring that Barack Obama become the 44th president of the united states of amerikka and the so called 1st black president. It reminded me so much of what I heard from my parents and the elders say about the Civil Rights movements of the 60’s, “very ceremonial, but lacked substance”. More important than having a black president elected is having an expectation of what a black president should behave like. Is it just important for him to be black in color and not be black by nature, spirit and thought?
Knowing what I know about real US government, the president’s real role is just an inspirational figure, a beauty queen, which symbolizes who is really running the country. That’s why its been white men for so long because they were really running the country. His image is just to let the dead people in the world know that there is a changing of the guard in amerikka and the true black people are awake. He has no plans to make a true change in this country. It’s just to try and lore the masses of black people back to sleep, and from what I have experience since the election, it has worked. If Obama were to make a real change, it would be because of the spirit world taking control of his spirit, which the spirit world can step in and bring about change at any time because he does have a soul. You can best believe that the whites (and some blacks) that voted for him hope that black people will believe that victory has come and their faith in this system will come back. Because if black folks energy (physical, spiritual and financial) is not in this country, this country will not exist! This election stuff is all about you black people.
Getting back on subject, what are the expectations of a black president? If Obama is to try and make a difference here are a few things that he can do if he really wants change.
· Incorporate black people’s true history into school text books. This will increase the confidence of our youth and in turn put a stop to the violence and the negative way we treat each other. There is enough of proven history and scholars available to create a team and insert our true history back into the books
· Elect an all black cabinet full of new and inspiring spirit led people that has no connections with any past administration. If you want change, how in the hell can you put the same old people and the same type people on your cabinet. These are not elected positions and you choose who the f@#k you want. Enough said.
· At the very least talk about “reparations”. It may take a minute but the conversation should come up especially since this country support the so called holocaust survivors. They are enough evidence on existing companies to get the ball rolling. There is enough land to provide to blacks even if it isn’t enough money.
· Stop incarcerating people for nonpayment of child support. Most of the problems we are facing today comes from children and adults from fatherless homes (crime, rape, poverty, substance abuse, teen pregnancy etc..). Instead of forcing fathers into jail so that they can’t work, force them on a job so they can provide. There should be no child support order established without visitation.
Remember people, this man’s mama is white and the thinking “mama can do no wrong” will always apply. So don’t look for Barack to provide true justice or be your savior. You/we are the only ones who can make that change. Believe in self!
