"...THE CONTENT OF YOUR CHARACTER"

"...THE CONTENT OF YOUR CHARACTER

   Can you imagine what Dr Martin Luther King, Jr. would be saying about our President launching his presidential campaign with 'African Americans for Obama'?  Not only is he disregarding his character and emphasizing the color of his skin, but he is also severely trying to divide this nation along ethnic lines.  The fact is that his speeches do not emphasize any of his African heritage, only his rich White heritage.  What is wrong with this picture?

The following is an article I found on Prison Planer.com, which was carried at Drudge:

"Imagine if Paul campaign launched ‘Whites for Ron Paul’

Imagine if Ron Paul announced a national campaign called ‘Whites for Ron Paul’ – he’d be vilified as a racist. And yet Barack Obama has done the equivalent of precisely that with his launch of ‘African Americans for Obama’.

The program urges black Americans to volunteer their time by making calls, organizing events and going door to door in their neighborhoods encouraging other African Americans to vote for Obama.
Not only is Obama playing the race card in an attempt to pressure black Americans into voting for him, he is also violating the separation between church and state. In the video promo for the campaign, Obama urges black people to pressure churches into supporting his administration by getting his message out via “the faith community”. He also calls on voters to become “congregation captains”.
Again, imagine what the reaction would be any of the Republican candidates launched a ‘Whites for Romney’, ‘Whites for Santorum’ or ‘Whites for Gingrich’ campaign. There would be non-stop uproar. But Obama does the equivalent and gets a free pass.
“I thought race didn’t matter Mr. President?” asks Chad Hasty ^[1]. “I don’t think MLK would be too pleased with you at all. African-Americans for Obama? Give me a break. Under this President, more blacks are unemployed. More blacks are on food stamps. If I had to bet though, Obama will still pull 93% of the black vote. Again, just a wild guess.”

As part of his efforts to lock down the black community as a voting bloc, Obama has arrived in Florida accompanied by an invasion of rappers and NBA basketball stars – all at taxpayer expense."

MY BLACK SISTERS AND BROTHERS

MY BLACK SISTERS AND BROTHERS
 

   I cannot stand by and watch and listen to the talking heads talk for my Black Sisters and Brothers.  I have known people in the Black Community for decades.  While I was shocked that Colin Powell voted for and advocated for the election of Barack Obama in 2008, I know what I know. 

   The Blacks who I know identify more with what was witnessed at Whitney Houston's home going than what the talking heads say.  My friends are God fearing, hard working, and their families are their priorities.  I know people who are stuck in extremely low paying jobs but perform their duties with a smile and with a lot of caring.  One friend who comes to mind works at a very low paying job and cares for her Aunt, who cannot care for herself.  Her Aunt!  I did not say her Mom or her daughter, but her Aunt!

   They make do with what they have.  They also share.  If I would ask for anything, they would do what they could to provide.  Of course, our friendship is reciprocated.  The point is that they are not envious.  They may have aspirations of doing better, but they just continue with what they have and do the best they can with it.  They are not lazy and do not complain.

   This is why I believe the current political talking heads are wrong.  My friends may have voted for what they thought was a Black President, but they are not stupid, nor are they blind.  I believe they identify more with Rick Santorum than with Barack Obama. Time will tell.
