A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
The playahate among racists is keen and gettin’ keener. According to Black America Web:
Since Obama defeated Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary last month, clinched the Democratic presidential nomination and could become America’s first black president in November, racist groups, white supremacy organizations, neo-nazis and skinheads have all increased their activity on the Internet and stepped up their hateful online denunciations of Obama.
It’s a hate experts say is now reaching a fever pitch.
“I haven’t seen this much anger in a long, long time,” Billy Roper, a 36-year-old who runs a group called White Revolution in Russellville, Arkansas, told The Washington Post. “Nothing has awakened normally complacent white Americans more than the prospect of America having an overtly non-white president.”
An attorney and everyman named Bill Murrain quoted in the article had this to say:
“They remind me that as a people, we have not and could not permit ourselves to be paralyzed by fear of what others threaten or can do to us. We would still be on the plantation,” Murrain told BlackAmericaWeb.com.
I agree. Nothing in recent memory has awakened people of all colors and creeds like Barack Obama — to the prospect of change. Of taking the country in a new direction. Obama has inspired millions of white people along with people of other ethnicities. If a few angry and ignorant people don’t like it, well, we won’t be slowing down for them.
Can’t Stop. Won’t Stop.
