The Last Black President
Bob Parks: Black & Right ^ | 5/23/09 | Bob Parks

Posted on 05/23/2009 7:07:15 AM PDT by bocopar

As a resident of Massachusetts, I see real parallels between the rise and fall of our first black governor Deval Patrick, and the rise and coming fall of the first black president, Barack Obama. Let's get to some politically correct, uncomfortable-to-say for some, specifics.

1. The Ballot Becomes The Race Card

Both Deval Patrick and Barack Obama had the same campaign guru: David Axelrod.

Using white liberal guilt to his political advantage, Axelrod created candidates that were immune from the normal political vetting process, as any attempt to do such would be called veiled racism. With that, they run with vague slogans that touched at progressive heartstrings, and they did. Patrick's campaign "Together We Can" and Obama's "Yes, We Can" offered what the beholder thought he or she wanted, without the nasty details.

I’ve written several times, look at MA as the trial balloon for what can/will happen in Washington, DC. So far, so very bad.

Truth and reality often hurt and Mr. Parks serves up a double dose of each.

When will the MSM start doing their jobs? Wait much longer and it might be too late.

David Axelrod...from wikipedia
“In 1985, Axelrod formed a political consultancy company, Axelrod & Associates. In 1987, he worked on the successful reelection campaign of Harold Washington, Chicago’s first black mayor, while also helping to spearhead Simon’s campaign for the 1988 Democratic Presidential nomination. This established his first experience in working with black politicians and he later became a key player in similar mayoral campaigns of blacks, including Dennis Archer in Detroit, Michael R. White in Cleveland, Anthony A. Williams in Washington, D.C., Lee P. Brown in Houston, and John F. Street in Philadelphia.[2] Axelrod is a longtime strategist for Chicago mayor Richard M. Daley and styles himself a “specialist in urban politics.”

So—come up with a counter to his white guilt based political campaign agenda and defeat him.

First error is, he is not the first black president.

Number one, he is half white, and number two most of the other half is Arab, not African black. Third, he is not my president.

The question is, whose president is he? Who is his Master, his puppet master? Who is he serving in his speed to destroy the United States? He certainly isnt dreaming all this destructive behavior up himself, who gains most from the destruction of the United States,,,,if you know who that is, then you have identified his puppetmaster.

In 1990, David Dinkins became the first black mayor of New York City. After his four year term ended, he became the last black mayor of NYC, and last Democrat mayor of NYC, to date.

One of the crowning achievements of his term was the Crown Heights Riot of 1991, an anti-Jewish pogrom of the Hasidic section of Brooklyn by the surrounding black community. During the riot, Dinkins praised police for "showing restraint" with the rioters, which was interpreted by the white community as showing that Dinkins was not going to suppress the rioting if it meant having to get rough with the black rioters.

I’ve been wondering when something like this would come up. Obama has screwed it up for future black candidates, i.e. “look what happened the last time we did that.”

I’d vote for Ward Connerly, Dr. Walter Williams, J.C. Watts, Alan Keyes, among others in a skinny minute. I’d vote for Thomas Sowell for dictator. But I fear Obama will have soured the American public for good.

Excellent column, Bob. One of your most important, I think.

I was very sad when I saw it was likely that Obama would win the election. I think it is misguided for so many black people to see him as some kind of triumph and vindication, but I can understand it.

However, I was quite confident that he would be a disaster and that is coming true faster than I imagined and that will do racial damage in the same shallow way that his race helped get him elected. It’s really unfortunate.
