You Nappy Afro, Tight Face, Playa Hating, Jesse Jackson Looking Boy‏

Labels: Barack Obama

It's easy to dismiss Jesse Jackson as a "hater" or even "jealous" as Spike Lee chose to do over his comments about Barack Obama last week. It seems as if the hard part for everyone is to admit the truth in his statements. Fast forward four months after Barack loses the election...what happens? Does he simply return to the Senate and continue to represent Illinois? Will he right a book, make a grip and go on a speaking engagement tour making millions? Or, will he become the face of Black America, stumping for social justice, including better housing conditions, job training, equal education opportunities, police brutality, health awareness, drug prevention and other ills that plague our communities?

The first two seem like a certainty should he lose, the last is highly improbable, as they have been absent from his campaign. Barack is not the "Black Candidate" if you let him tell it. He represents all Americans, he represents the "American Dream" the hopes of the forefathers, the promises of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution of the United States. Has someone forgot to tell this Nigga that people who look like me, you and him weren't even thoughts when those documents were created? That those liberties and freedoms those idealistic Caucasians dreamt of had to be fought for, marched for, died for and stolen in many cases! Did he miss that part of history class? Oh, they didn't cover that part of history in Hawaii!

Baracks's experience hasn't been that typical of African-American, maybe he missed out on the Nigga Knowledge that we naturally possess and our inability to trust Government officials. Possibly it is that lack of experience that allows him to stand before the NAACP and call on the generations of earlier Americans "who stood up for him" and that "every American must be treated equally under the law." I don't know about you, but I need to know what a nigga got in mind for Black folk? Are we lumped into that group with "every American", therefore afforded the opportunities equal to those folks who sit at those $1,000 a plate fundraisers held for his campaign? Or, are we the people who are gonna vote for him on GP, yet he mortgages those votes for that segment of America that he hasn't quite cracked yet by showing hey, I can be tough on the Nigras as well.

Black folks need to pull themselves up by the bootstraps, Black fathers need to be present, I do not agree with Reverend Wright, Black parents need to turn off the video games and television, Black people have to be more responsible for their own actions, all from the mouth of the Mulatto who refuses to be recognized as "the Black Candidate", all conversations that are held in our churches, barbershops, bars and private conversations. Just as Jesse Jackson's comments were last week, there are some serious issues in our community that will need prolonged government and personal intervention, interaction and involvement. Just too bad for Jesse, that he was being interviewed by Fox News when he decided to have that private conversation. I got the scissors Rev.!
