The Left builds power by dividing people into color, age, race, nationality, gender, sexual orientation, handicap and income.
Citizens are used as political weapons against each other, as they are alternately pitted against one another, called to align or scared apart.
Identity politics and social justice power is the tool of progressive politicians and "elites" (academics, journalists).
America wins when they fail. What is good for one is good for all.
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
Meh. 0bama would be just as disappointing regardless of his racial background.
He is mulatto.
These folk are so funny, they want him to be more
black oriented but if he was a white man they wouldn’t
want him to be more white oriented....
Baaah Racists.
I’ve always said wait til the blacks figure out he’s not even a real American black — he’s a pretend black. He had to go to Chicago for twenty + years to learn how to act black and acquire street cred. Hah ha ... the jig’s up bambi...yer busted ‘mofo’... even Hilary does a better imitation.
His opinion as an elite scholar" or as Cornel West is worthless at best.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, those characteristics are mutually exclusive in human beings.
That isn't to say there aren't black men who are great men. On the contrary. I am positive there are black men who are great men. I am sure I have known a few who, if not quite great, at least approached greatness. Some of the most amazing, admirable people I have ever known have been black.
But until the black community stops elevating the thug and the thief and the racist and the ignorant to the highest pinnacles of what it regards to be worthy of its adulation, it will NEVER find its great black politician. It will never uncover its Jeffersons and Washingstons and Einsteins, and those worthies will live and die in obscurity.
just like the self-agrandizing tactics done to death by Hollywood actors and actresses... think Oscars for losers with Ph.D's
To be “disappointing”, there had to be some expectations in the first place.
Anyone who had expectations of anything positive from this inexperienced Marxist boob is as big a fool as he is.
Two more black racists attacking another black racist for not being racist enough to suit them.
I really don't give a damn what color his eyes are, what color his hair is, or what color his skin is. Obama is woefully inadequate, unprepared, and unqualified for the job he currently holds. And his political philosophy is tragically contrary to the system of checks and balances that the office demands.
I thought they meant “disappointing black politician” in terms of the failed black Democrat mayors of US cities over the past 50 years. They have taken corruption and malfeasance to unheard of levels and further destroyed our cities.
No matter where you look the blacks play the race card.
To me being a right winger is being a conservative, and anti big government spending.
To the blacks being conservative is now racist.
How about that I agree with something Cornell West has said. Barack Obama indeed has an elitist agenda.
