OBAMA Needs to be an UNCLE TOM in order to win!

[g-money]

I'm interested in knowing what the people who want him to get elected by any means necessary, think is going to happen once he gets into office?

Ya'll, Obama doesn't have magical powers. He's not suddenly going to turn this country into a Utopia for Black Americans, okay? I understand you all want to see a Black man in the White House, but if you have "tap-dance and eat watermelon" just to get in ... then it's nto worth it.

All this stuff about "It's good so kids will see they can be more than rappers" is a slap in the face of every Black American that has gone on to achieve great things in this country. Their are more than enough examples of successful Blacks for young people to look up to.

I'm impressed with your breakdown along with other family that made an educated decision over emotionalism (pro Obama or anti Obama).

 

[HNIC]

The more Obama has to distance himself from everything Black the more I'm inclined to agree with you brother.

Do we have to sell our soul to get this guy in office. It's starting to look like Tavis had a point. He couldn't go to Tavis shit, he couldn't make it down to Memphis, he has to distance himself from all of the Old guard Civil Rights leaders who made it possible for him to run for President, including his pastor. Say what you want about Al and Jesse, they keep the pressure on the system. Is he really going to do a damn thing to benefit blacks, I'm not looking for anything special, but if I'm invisible to you, what the hell good are you??

i hate the fact that a lot of black folk are voting for him because and only because he is black. If you like his policies on the economy, the environment, the war, etc, vote for him. But to vote for him solely because he is black is stupid. I wonder if these people also voted for alan keys.

You know something, I'd prefer if they were voting for him only because he was black on some black power trip, but this shit...

 

[lac]

I've been wondering this myself. How much tap dancing does Obama have to do to get into office and will it be worth it in the end?

In my opinion HELL NO. We already bend over backwards for whites way to much when will it end? Everyone on this board knows Jeremiah Wright is speaking the truth and has spoken the truth and he is entitled to defend his self and not bitch up when he being attacked.

 

[femmenoire]

Barack Obama is black and he's white.

For anyone to think he's not going to see both sides of a race issue is fooling themselves.

And this notion that black people think that Obama is going to eradicate the plight of Black Americans is more than foolish.

If you have any ounce of pride, then you'd be pro-Obama. Get a clue.

N*ggas sounding like Hillary and shit. "And the skies will open, the light will come down..celestial choirs will be singing ... and everyone will know we should do the right thing and the world will be perfect."

 

[Chitownheadbusa]

Wright is basically playing the Jesse Jackson role.
he knows that Obama will get hella media attention because of the elections....so since he's close with Obama, he feels this is he shot to speak his mind and get some camera time also.


whateva his motives are for doing this...none of us really knows.
but bottom line is...i cant wait till all this BS is over with...so we can focus on more serious issues.

and please dont say this race is serious...because its really all just entertainment and a diversion.

i mean look at all these ridiculous ass posts about Obama.......they wont people to be focused on this and this only...and its working.

sad thing is..when its all said and done....aint shit gonna change...and you all will feel salty when you see that the whole "change campaign" and this whole Billiary campaign was just for the TV.

whoever wins...they will have rules to follow..rules that have already been set...and u bets believe they will follow them.

Yeah, but the niggaz in here are the ones telling everybody that you're an "Uncle Tom" if you don't vote for him, now you're saying that if you think he's gonna "eradicate the plight of Black Americans, you're foolish". It's contradictory. That's why people were calling Tavis Smiley and Maxine Waters and John Lewis and Andrew Young and now Rev. Wright coons for not doing whatever it took to get Obama elected.

The idea was that Obama was gonna do soooooo much for the Black community that not voting for him was the equivalent to shooting MLK and pissing on Malcolm X's grave. Now, y'all say well . . . . he's Black and White so of course he's not gonna just ride for us, but isn't that why y'all rode on everybody who wasn't supporting him unconditionally? Because he was supposed to "save" us?

 

[aba_abstract2k]

This thread, the media, reactions from the general public..
I give up
Black folks are doomed
Just like Ninjas...We are never going to go anywhere as a people...
its ashame we can't even come together when we have a chance to make history...
This incident is proof to the white man that we can't come together as a people...we've always said this around the dinner table i guess the proof is in the pudding

I've already heard a few cats on the radio say they aren't gonna vote for Obama now...

So my question is...when will get another to get a black man in the white house...how soon, how many more years will it take??

who said he was going to "save us"...why can't we just want to see a black man as president?

 

[Carlito]

I get the vibe in the black community that the only GOOD outspoken civil rights activist is a DEAD one. Cats have mentioned every name in the civil rights book as being a coon or poverty pimp in the last couple of days EXCEPT the dead ones (and whether MOST of you cats want to lie and not admit it or not, if cats like MLK, Medgar Evers or Malcom were alive today, you'd be saying the EXACT same shit about them).

C/S

 

[Damn Right]

Dog, I'm all for Obama, but it ain't that deep for me. Some of these cats act like they'd be willing to go out in the fields and pick some damn cotton to get dude elected.

that's only because u don't recognize the importance of living in a historical moment.....

 

[Brnpit]

Yup

 

[bizzyboddy]

who said he was going to "save us"...why can't we just want to see a black man as president?

I think he means, that was the attitude that they had towards other blacks who had the "audacity" to think for themselves, and evaluate the candidates without blindly choosing one. It became so ridiculous that even if you didn't support Hillary or mccain you were still considered an uncle tom for not automatically choosing Obama.

I really want to see how some of you faggot muthafuckas act in real life.

Coming on BGOL acting like you walk around in dashiki, beret and are Malcolm X's fourth cousin

Angry at the world because you get treated like a bitch at work and in life. Then running to BGOL to show the man and take your anger out at the world

Who the fuck you think you're fooling

Trying to be the man you aren't in real life.

Most of you are punk ass bitches in real life and wouldn't say this shit to whitey, much less all of these black men who you proclaim to be Tom's. Instead of specializing in tearing down other black people. I implore you, take this shit to a white message board. Show your "internet" cajones.

Who the fuck is shook, you're behind a fuckin keyboard talking shit. Step your ass out in the real world muthafucka.

I think you're overstating A LOT the amount of people voting for Barack just because of his skin color. It's there but you also have a lot that are turned off by the Clintons. I truly believe he's better equipped to be Commander in Chief over McCain and Hillary. A majority of his policies and ideas are actually possible compared to the other two candidates.

People can vote for anyone but you had some heads from the Clinton Campaign and black community who were using Barack's history and skin color against him. That's where I started taking issue. Don't not vote for the man because he's black, if you have differences with him on substance express it. And I saw a few people do exactly that. Tavis got out of pocket my dude. He started acting a little funny. Charlie Rangel is supporting Hillary and he doesn't get much heat here even when they weren't counting votes for Barack. If you come out and disagree with Barack then fine but don't come out with some emotional, illogical shit as your "reasoning."

With John Lewis you have to remember that the man is a politician. And his district when like 80-20 for Obama. You don't think a few heads let him know the deal?

 

[WampWamp]

.

So my question is...when will get another to get a black man in the white house...how soon, how many more years will it take??

You have other great black politicians around. Barack might be on another level to them but there are some potentially great black politicians coming up. In the tristate area, we have Corey Booker.

lol and who the fuck are you to assume how the fuck ANYBODY on this board acts or doesn't act in real life? Same can be said for you. You could be some faggot ass false flaggin white boy on here sittin in his mom's basement listening to Ice Cube tapes. Let's not "assume" anything about anybody on here because you really don't know jack shit. I don't agree with alot of people on this board, but i am understanding enough to except and respect everybody's view points. If i don't agree, dat's it. Ain't shit i can do about it but keep doin me.

So please, Let's keep it 100 mayne.

We all have to play the White man's game at one level or another.
If you wear a suit and tie to work your playing the game!
If you speak slang at home but not in the corporate environment
your playing the game!
If you will call your Black Friends Nigga at home but not at work you playing the game!
If your girl friend or wife gets her hair permed as opposed to wearing it natural she's playing the game.
If you moved from the ghetto to the rich suburbs your playing the game!
So don't hand me this Crap
Every Negro on this board at one time or another has done it either consciously or subconsciously distance them self from their beautiful Black heritage.
Now to what degree one does this determines if he or she is a sell out.

If you've achieved financial wealth in this country then your playing the game pretty damn well!


Obama is not by any stretch of the imagination a Clarence Thomas! (Thank God)
But you know what! As Brilliant a speaker as MLK was we still had some
blacks that would not stand with him! But now every Black person is PRO MLK!
Whites got behind Bush no matter how dumb he was and pushed him all the way to the top. But not US not one of our own we're going to shot him in the foot before he gets out he starting gate!

I guess history repeats

 

[desklamp]

Oh, one more thing, a nigga doesnt have to walk around in a full fledge African dashiki to be passionate about his people. You don't have to rock a black bere and a black leather jacket to speak out and stand up for ya community in the face of adversity. Just like not all racist crackas are wearing the sheets and the swastika. They wear cop uniforms, suits, and even judge's robes.

 

[unknownsoldier]

I have to admit, at first I was worried about Rev. Wright defending himself. But I quickly came to the realization that in the big scheme of things...it doesn't matter. The media was just going to find something else to fuck with Obama about. In some ways, I think Wright speaking out now actually helps Obama in the sense that people now see more of him than just a looped comment. Wright has the right to defend himself and his personal legacy. Obama has to stand firm that he and Wright are not one in the same. If he can do that effectively, this will all be an afterthought come summertime.

Pretty much, this is chess...not checkers. But this over nigga's heads. He's preparing for the general election by creating this 50/Kanye beef to silent any GOP noise. Ya'll don't find it ironic that a week after the GOP in NC release negative Wright ads,he comes out swinging & Obama then deads the nigga??? USE YOUR BRAIN. Think back to the 2007 NY Times article about Obama & Wright and in the last sentence, Wright says to Obama..."you know you're going to have to distance yourself from me" & Obama responds, "I know...we'll address it when the time comes". That time is here.

This thread, the media, reactions from the general public..

COSIGN. As niggas we can't even agree to unite for a nigga just because we're putting a Black man in office. where was Tavis with all this "its about the issues" talk when Bush was fucking over elections??? If this was a Mexican running, he could be a murderer & Mexican hater...but over 90% of the Mexican voting population sticking by that candidate thick & thin. The only thing these controversies have done is split the Black vote because honestly...whites were gonna vote for whoever they were gonna vote for regardless of Wright. I believe they call it the "Bradley Effect". Niggas can't unite for shit

 

[absolutvodka]

no matter what obama does he can't win.......white people will never vote for a black president.

 

[kurrupt]

so whats the point of this thread?? Black folks just never seem to be happy. We talk all this shit and then wed finally get a brother, who of course isn't perfect, and still. We all say this and that about Obama but in the end..we still gonna vote for him because of one thing HOPE
So everyone who's voting for Obama anyway need to STFU already and kill all the negative talk of a candidate they gonna vote for anyway.

I truly believe that Rev. Wright and Obama set this up. Why else would Wright show restraint all these years as Obama matriculates from a state Senator to a federal Senator? Why did we not here a peep from Rev. Wright when Obama was introduced to America during the Democratic Covention? Why no Rev. Wright speeches when Obama overtook Clinton in the delegate count? Why? Because these guys are making chess moves. Do you really believe that Rev. Wright would rather have Obama not be president? Obama has a 'real' opportunity to do some big things and a man as intelligent as Wright definitely knows how the game is played. Far too many folks are thinking with their emotions and not seeing the big picture. It wouldn't surprise me if Obama and Rev. Wright are laughing about this over a 6-pack right now. Both Obama and Rev. Wright are making Bobby Fisher moves which are over some cats heads.

 

[cbm_redux]

I actually think it is a good thing this Wright shit is coming out even more now before the general...

I concur. I'm not an Obama supporter. However, if he wins the Democratic nomination, then I'll get behind his presidential bid 110%. With that in mind, it is far better that this came out before the nomination is decided. It hamstrings Republicans to an extent, because as much as they'd like to use this to tap into white America's xenophobic fear of black folks, they don't want to aid Hillary, for whom they have an insane hatred.

By the time that a Democratic candidate emerges, this story will have ceased to have much of its shock value. Had this come out during a hypothetic Obama/McCain contest, they would have had a field day.

Because he was supposed to "save" us?

Trust me. Cause I have pointed out truths about obama I have been called names on this board I never have been called in all my time here. Coon, hater, uncle tom, crab ass nigga, just to name a few.

I pointed out he was a career politician first, which means he gives a shit about people, black or white. His flip flopping that cannot be defended, cause either he is ignorant or a liar(something mccain and billary are guilty of also).

Also, it should be noted, he should have denounced wright last year when sean "I brought wright out" hannity was on this in 07. If you were gonna do it anyway, waiting this long was stupid.

Obama and billary changed their funding the war vote in 07 to support their election hopes.(no supporting the troops excuse like the other times they voted for funding)

So obama should have denounced wright back then when he flip flopped back to the side of the war vote he was supposed to be on in the first fucking place.

The GOP is gonna eat him up for not doing a timely flip flop on all things.

If you cut through the charisma, obamas excuses for alot of shit he flip flops on are weak as fuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Same with billary, but she does it with a certain arrogance, almost bush like, where she can get away with it. Obama comes across weak with all that stuttering and shit. Bill clinton used charisma to bullshit but he didnt stutter like a muthafucka.

uhh. uuh .uhhh uhhh.

So yeah he needs to be an uncle tom, but obama fucked up his timing.

I pointed out, he would stick up for israel before sean bell, whether running for office or IN OFFICE. Most of us are common folk like sean bell. Nuff said.

GOP has been playing chess, while the dems play checkers.
