Presidential Nominee Barack Obama Turns His Back On The Black Race

Barack Obama Election Advice: Black Denunciations that Just Might Do the Trick

by Dr. Boyce Watkins

Barack Obama is a nice guy, and I really want to see him have the chance to become president. After all, it appears that we’ve decided that having the first African American integrated into the highest office in the land is more significant than anything we must sacrifice in order to make that happen.

For just a minute, I am going to ignore reports of US racism, such as the recent report by Human Rights Watch showing clearly that the United States is a country mentally ill with racial discrimination. I am going to be a team player from this point on. We don’t want to give the Republicans (and Democrats) anymore ammunition by forcing Senator Obama into the embarrassing position of having to denounce yet another black person or group who doesn’t meet the approval of the rest of America.

Suggested denunciations for Senator Barack Obama:

1) Medgar Evers
2) Martin Luther King
3) The other black “rabble rousers”
4) Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass
5) Fried chicken or any other kind of soul food
6) Hip Hop music and culture
7) The electric slide, step shows or any other form of African-American dance….
8) Every African American Studies department in America
9) Any and all “baby mamas”, ”baby daddies” and ”play cousins” across America

Barack Obama may just want to denounce every black person in America, or at least get rid of the millions who had the audacity to cheer when Father Pfleger and Jeremiah Wright were preaching. He should also denounce the millions of women who cheered when Michelle Obama made her statement about finally being proud of her country. It seems that being silent about the atrocities of the past 400 years is the requirement to get into the White House. I wonder if Jews would be willing to remain silent about the Nazi holocaust in order to have a Jewish president? Probably not, since they seem to think they are respecting their ancestors by being proud of who they are. How pathetic is that?

There is a mentality in the black community that says that white validation means everything. Obama will get far more respect for being President than he ever would for being a strong black leader and helping black children. I would get far more respect for being president of Harvard than I would for being president of Spelman College.

One cannot fight oppression and simultaneously remain addicted to the need for validation from the oppressor. Black people NEED whites to tell us that we are smart, that we are good, that we are important. That is why we consider being President of the United States to be one of the, if not the most significant achievement in history for a black man. I do not agree.
