Hated On Mostly

The more I listen/watch the incessant blather about the campaign, the more I realize that most of what i see in terms of negative comments from the press and the media on Obama amounts to hate.

Not the kind that leads to burning crosses or nooses.

The kind of hate that mostly leads to tapping fingers and flapping lips.

“He is an empty suit”

“He lacks susbtance”

“He is Inexperienced”

“He is a Plagiarist”

“He is an unpatriotic down-low Muslim”

“His wife is a (insert pretty much everything you heard about Hillary circa 1992)”

I am saving my personal argument for Barack Obama for my Sunday Endorsement Essay, but I will say this:  More than anything else, being president IS actually about what you say.  The presidency is a bully pulpit more than anything else. It involves having a vision and placing the right people in the right places.  Being president is about character and putting what is good for America above everything else in the long term, not just during the time you are in power.

We aren’t really having a conversation on the issues when you ignore what it is in a man’s history just because it suits your purposes.

Hell, there is more MISINFORMATION being spread about Obama’s past than ACTUAL history.

And let’s not even get started on the characterizations of those of us who support Obama.

Nothing but hate.

Come on, people!(Cosby & Poussaint, 2007)

The man has a  law degree from Harvard where he chaired the Harvard Law Review, followed by several years in the Illinois State Senate and then a few years in the United States Senate.   It defies logic that someone with 6 years in the US Senate and a career as a corporate lawyer who dispatched Joe Biden, who was elected in 1972 (there is your THIRTY FIVE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE), Christopher Dodd, who was elected in 1980, and Bill Richardson, who has a resume with more bullets than Sean Bell caught would dare trot out the experience argument.

Unless, of course, we are talking about SOMEONE ELSE’S EXPERIENCE .

Think about that when you start hearing about being ready on Day one tonight in Cleveland.

Johnny Gill, Lemme Holla @ You for a minute…

Hey, Johnny.

I know you and me aren’t exactly close. Considering I wasn’t really an enthusiastic fan of yours, I would understand if you wouldn’t exactly take kindly to my advice.

The reality is I was always a fan of yours. I told anyone who would listen that you single handedly saved New Edition, giving them a gravitas that Bobby Brown never could.

No, dancing wasn’t your forte’, but still, musically, you did the damn thing.

I don’t know who else was feeling it, But I dug your last single

Frightening how much more substantial your voice was than all the other cats were.

Anyway, enough nostalgia.

This is about YOU, bro.

Clearly word has gotten back to you about the way your name is hot in the e-streets. You need to understand, JG, that this ain’t the late 80’s. Back then the rumors were scattershot and usually a bunch of he said she said.

Getting your misogynist won’t save you, it will only hasten the day that you end up starring on Front street.Yeah Yeah, I get that people won’t understand and your career will be over (um…well, actually…) so what you are doing is not exactly unprecedented or unexpected.

But what it IS…is tacky beyond measure. Not to mention that it does more harm than good to all involved. “Keeping a stable” does not automatically exclude you from seeking alternative means of pleasure. Then of course, there is this

So, um…yeah. And this ain’t even about WHAT you are doing, cause you are older than me. This is about HOW you are doing it. It is damaging to you, those that you associate with and the community at large.

This is what you call clearing things up?

You got babies, fam.

And to be honest…We don’t believe you you need more People(Carter, S. and Saga)

At the end of the day, I don’t a bit more know what you do than the man in the moon. But to be honest, this is NOT helping your case.

At ALL.

Stoppit, fam.

Seriously.

Hey, NBC. Barack Obama is on TV everyday for a year and this is the BEST YOU CAN DO?

So, in the midst of the Biggest Presidential Primary season ever and the most compelling Presidential Candidate since Robert Kennedy…NBC offers THIS as a parody?

So, a Black man is on the verge of history, and THIS is the best you can do???

YMBFKM.

I mean, the AP is dropping stories about Obama’s Patriotism? the ASSOCIATED PRESS??? Yeah….talk about a free pass.
I reckon that I should let y’all slide for being on strike and stuff. But this was just plain lazy. Time is running out, Folks, Pretty soon it will be Summer, and you will be back in reruns.

Perhaps now is a good time to play Rent a negro or something. Obama ain’t going nowhere, Fred Armisen ain’t gonna get it done. Not.Even.Close.

And don’t even get me started on THIS SHIT HERE…

Yanno, Tina, you’re cute in a plain white girl with a neat sense of humor kind of way.

But Bitch is not the new black. Bitch isn’t even the new pink. Bitch is the once and future Female dog.

Once upon a time, you couldn’t say Bitch in public.

I still don’t.

Suddenly now you think you can rehabilitate and positive up Bitch, like Black folk (some) did the word Nigger.

Um, sorry, Tina.

Black Women Tried that. Then they realized that just because YOU make it a positive word, Men will still use it as a pejorative and beat you upside the metaphorical head with it.

One day, Black men will realize the same thing about the word Nigger(-a,-az,-uh) but that is another subject for another time.

Anyhoo…good luck with that tacit endorsement. Too bad you’re about two weeks late.
