I get so tired of hearing black critics of President Obama claiming that the black community only supports him because he is black.
If I hear it one more time, I will throw up all over the person.
I have said some of this before. I am utilizing a lesson I learned from Fox News: Repetition is the key to getting through to the people. If Fox can get lies across, I should be able to do the same with the truth.
Of course black people support President Obama because he is black. Do you expect us to apologize for that? The other reason we support him is that he is one of the greatest presidents this country ever has had. He carries our banner high. He is dragging the racist myth that black people are inferior through the mud. He is taking that mud and pushing their ignorant little racist faces in it without once losing his congenial demeanor. If you are black and don’t support Mr. Obama, you are a fool.
Another myth is that blacks resent criticism of Mr. Obama, a gross corruption of the truth. Black people don’t resent criticism of President Obama. He should be held to the same standard as any other president. But we do resent slander. That is what many of his black critics engage in, to the benefit and delight of the GOP, the world’s most dedicated enemy of the poor and minority community.
What people like Tavis Smiley, Cornel West, Boyce Watkins, and others of their ilk see coming from the black community is black outrage over their indulging in the crabs-in-a-barrel mentality that was inbred into them as slaves. Insightful and forward-thinking black people resent their mindset, which is identical to the mindset of white racists, a mindset that says, “President Obama was uppity to even think he could become President of the United States in the first place. After stumbling into office through some sort of circumvention of natural selection and the will of God, he is indulging in the height of arrogance to even assume he is qualified to do ‘a white man’s’ job. By definition, he is not one of us. He sold out. He is a black man who doesn’t know his place so he can’t be trusted.” It is a classic example of a Willie Lynch-inspired mentality.

Most black people recognize that many of these people are not really interested in policy. They are just using public policy as a pretext for attacking the president himself. They are so steeped in their Willie Lynch mentality that they either don’t realize, or don’t care, that they are doing a grave disservice — not only to the African-American community, but to black people all over the world.
Because black people also recognize that many of Mr. Obama’s white conservative critics aren’t really interested in public policy either. Much like Mr. Obama’s black critics, they have an ulterior motive. But their motive has nothing to do with Willie Lynch. Their primary motive is defending their claim of white superiority. Again, President Obama, in his soft-spoken and laid-back way, is dragging that myth through the mud. That is why racists and conservatives hate him so.
Conservatives recognize, as we all should, and especially so-called black “intellectuals,” that President Obama is not just another president. President Obama is the most high-profile symbol of black competence in the world. What he has accomplished is the perfect equivalent of a conquered slave rising to become the emperor of Rome, one of Rome’s greatest emperors. Barack Obama is going to be remembered by posterity as one of the greatest men in all of human history. His story will be inspiring black children a thousand years from now.
Racists and conservatives recognize that. Naturally, they are desperate to tear down Barack Obama’s image and build up the image of criminals like Ronald Wilson Reagan. There is no excuse for black idiots like Tavis Smiley, Cornel West and Boyce Watkins not to recognize that. That is what makes them so detestable. Instead of trying to help racists tear down this black icon, they should be offering respectful suggestions in an attempt to ensure that Barack Obama is remembered as one of the greatest, even if they have to drag him up Mt. Rushmore kicking and screaming. Instead, they are allowing themselves to be used by racists who are claiming, “See, even black people know he doesn’t live up to the standard of white presidents.”
Thus, people like Mr. Smiley and Mr. West are giving their own egos self-service. Their Willie Lynch-inspired need to tear down a black historic icon priority over black history, and the role that history is going to play in helping to raise the self-concept of the black culture. They are trying to sabotage the self-esteem of black children yet unborn. The mere thought of that kind of ignorant selfishness is disgusting, especially when clothed in faux scholarship..
