Obama and the Plight of the Dancing Masquerade
American Thinker ^ | September 10, 2009 | L.E. Ikenga

excerpt:

...to get the Black Elite Establishment (B.E.E) vote — NAACP, Colin Powell, Henry Louis Gates Jr. et al. — Obama sold himself as a member of the “Talented Tenth”, a term coined by international Communist and black imperialist, W.E.B. Dubois. Dubois was a pivotal figure in black American history — a figure whose socialistic and elitist paradigms many blacks, in this country, continue to emulate without even knowing it. Like so many other black imperialists, Dubois was a rabid Marxist who used this socio-economic philosophy and his high-society intellect to engineer a small and permanent elite class of blacks that continue to speak for the whole. Here is classic Dubois, from his essay, “The Talented Tenth”:

“Very gradually as the philosophy of Karl Marx and many of his successors seeped into my understanding, I tried to apply this doctrine with regard to Negroes. My Talented Tenth must be more than talented, and work not simply as individuals. Its passport to leadership was not alone learning but expert knowledge of modern economics as it affected American Negroes; and in addition to this and fundamental, would be its willingness to sacrifice and plan for such economic revolution in industry and just distribution of wealth, as would make the rise of our group possible.”
