BET Stars; Vote Obama Cause He’s Black
Jun 25, 2008 Political
It is interesting watching things unfold with regard to the presidential aspirations of Barack Obama. He is the first person to cry racism (oh yeah, he is black) and his supporters love to claim that white people who do not vote for him are racist while ignoring the fact that many blacks are voting for him simply because he is black. This will be one of the themes, vote Obama so we can have a black president. The people who espouse this are voting for a person based on color rather than qualification.
At the Black Entertainment Television (is there a WET) music awards Sean Combs told the crowd that if they all registered they had the chance to vote in the first black president. It seems to me that this narrow minded thinking is racist from the start but also dangerous in that Combs wants people to put color ahead of any other real qualifier. If people actually support Obama because they think he is qualified and can do the job then fine but it seems to me that is not the message. Vote for Obama because he is black. Did you notice that we never hear them saying vote for Obama because he is qualified?
Rapper David Banner told reporters that for the first time they could vote for someone who is not part of the good ole boy (who you calling boy) system. First of all, this is a lie. Obama is part of the Chicago political system and he is definitely a DC insider who pretends not to be. He is a good ole boy and has the establishment’s backing.
The obvious racial pandering and overt racism is ignored by those in the MSM who portray Obama’s support among blacks as some sign that they all agree with him. In reality, half of them have no clue and the only thing they see is a black man. Since blacks get a pass on racial remarks it is OK for someone like Combs to say to vote for Obama because he is black.
Imagine if someone got on stage and said to vote for McCain because he is white…
I predict that if Obama loses in November we will see race riots and we will hear the cries of racism in America. There will be particular hell to pay if he wins the popular vote and loses the electoral vote (what I think will happen). There will be rioting.
If Obama loses it will not be because he is black. It will be because he is inexperienced (technically, he is qualified).
