Over the past forty years the churches that African Americans frequent have traditionally been the stalwart locations that the Democratic party has sough to curry the support of their candidates. This has given some reverends and pastors a tremendous amount of political power in the party. Some of these Democratic elders feel a certain kind of way now that the party no longer consults them for their outreach. They should be scared too since OBAAMA has made his strides without recognizing them.
During his Father’s Day speech that he delivered at a different Black church than the one he had been fucking with previously OBAAMA let the congregation know that he wasn’t going to co-sign any of that old Black bullshit. Black men were going to have to assume their mantle of responsibility despite what other shit was popping off around them. I agree that racism and supremacy shouldn’t ever stop anyone from being a father to their child. OBAAMA even quoted TuPac, which drew a standing ovation from the gathered worshippers. Its time for Black folks to do for self since racism is now officially over and there is a somewhat Black(not 100% white) candidate for president.
There’s been a dramatic shift inside of the Democratic party which recognizes that inserting a civil rights agenda into a candidates platform is equal or worse than declaring yourself pro-choice. Affirmative action is being taken off the table similarly to the gains made by labor unions. The African American voting bloc which was once a respected jewel in the holy grail of Democratic electability is now questioned for its validity and existence. The American political landscape is facing the horizon of a brand new day where the “Black church” is no longer the moral compass and Blak people are no longer politicized s perpetual victims. I just haven’t quite figured out who the winners are for this shit.
So here’s a list of the losers…
 |
AL SHARPTON a/k/a Reverend Simple Savior who was a staunch CLINTON ally, has now been reduced to being a sideline OBAAMA cheerleader. SHARPTON blew the whistle early on BARACK OBAAMA’s infrastructure claiming that he was simply a blackfaced operative for a white power base. SHARPTON might be correct in his assessment, but the question that pops up is this… Was HILLARY CLINTON a whiteface operative for a Black rights agenda? |
 |
JESSE JACKSON lost too, just not as much as SHARPTON. The political career for JESSE JACKSON has long since been over, but his prestige in the Democratic party still remained until OBAAMA emerged. JACKSON, in a possible fit of jealousy, called out OBAAMA on one of the things that would make most regular Black people upset. JACKSON said OBAAMA was “acting as if he were white“. That’s right up there with talking about someone’s mama, but since OBAAMA’s mama IS white it didn’t faze BARACK in the least. |
 |
BILL CLINTON lost the sheen on his legacy. If you know Black people like I do then you know that sheen is very important to us. CLINTON’s condescension for OBAAMA struck people as hateful and dismissive. We also got to see firsthand the underhanded voter manipulation that he employed as a president. BILL CLINTON went from being the first Black president to one of the people in the long line of plantation owners that lost his shit when one of the slaves talked back. |
 |
ROBERT JOHNSON was on my worthless negro list from way back. Most Blacks tolerated him because he was wealthy. Blacks are always impressed with wealthy Blacks, no matter how these rich people secured their money. JOHNSON is a bloodsucker on the African American community worse than any leech because his skin color allows him to blend in. |
 |
Reverend JEREMIAH WRIGHT has been nullified and silenced to the point that we can no longer debate the merits of the statements he has made over the years. OBAAMA’s candidacy is actually part of supremacy’s machinations. Black people are the new native Americans. I just wonder how long it will take for casinos to be installed in the community rooms of the housing projects? |
POLITRICKS 2008: It Ain’t Over ‘Til The Pantsuit Lady Sings…

Now that you have helped him wrap up the Democratic Party’s nomination, all you folks that have been contributing your free time and hard-earned dollars to the OBAAMA campaign need to send homeboy an e-mail telling him to leave ol’ girl off the ticket.
I mean didn’t this spoilsport just try to get sonn merc’ked?!?
POLITRICKS 2008: Reflections On Politricks 1968…
Monday, May 26th, 2008
If you ask me, HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON’s remarks about remembering ROBERT KENNEDY are a subtle reminder to white not to get caught up in the hype. The KENNEDY’s were young, charismatic political leaders who wanted to ignite the electorate to change the status quo. You see where that got them? You see where that got us? The last forty years have been a mashup of neo-conservative reactionary administrations. Save for that blip that was JIMMY CARTER, possibly the greatest president since forever.
When you remind American’s about the KENNEDY family I think that serves to put the dreamers and the people that are sick of the stench of supremacy back in their place. America eats its young. The dreamers, the believers, the workers, the fighters. Anyone who thinks that people should be placed before profits. Most of all, America eats anyone who dare eff up their game plan. Stick to the script, or you and your entire family will be waylaid. The invocation of 1968, whether it is MARTIN LUTHER KING Jr. or ROBERT KENNEDY is essentially to keep people in check in 2008.
Call it psychological social-mobility terrorism. And get your ass a late pass. This shit done been in effect. I talked here before about the ‘Black Codes‘ and the fact that there was a social infrastructure that would not permit shit like Blacks owning property, or Blacks and white inter-marrying. This wasn’t simply frowned upon. These things were explicitly disallowed with legislation. HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON became as reactionary as any neo-conservative when she in essence told the people, “Stay in your lane so you don’t get your ass merc’ked like the KENNEDYS”.
I know she doesn’t speak that colloquially but what other message do you take from her? Understand what is at stake here for these candidates. The winner goes home with a pocketfull of the ultimate poker chips. The money and power at stake here is immeasurable. Why else would the BUSH administration steal two(2) elections? Why else would HILLARY CLINTON be so desperate to secure the Dem party nomination? All the hippies from 1968 woke the eff up and put NIXON buttons on their blazer lapels. CLINTON was simply trying to remind us who it is that runs this rap shit.
POLITRICKS 2008: The Incredible Internets C.R.E.A.M. Team…
Sunday, May 18th, 2008
One thing I have wondered about all through the the process of the 2008 presidential campaign is how the hell BARACK OBAAMA raised as much money as he does. I don’t know a single person who has contributed money to his campaign (or any other candidates for that matter). I imagine that the money still comes from large corporations.
This article I link here from the Atlantic monthly says that BARACK OBAAMA’s C.R.E.A.M. Team (campaign fundraising staff from JOHN KERRY’s campaign) are the reason that he has been able to outpace the venerable and popular CLINTONS when it comes to getting his paper up.
The Atlantic claims that OBAAMA’s monies are from the newly minted Silicon Valley constituency and similar bases of wealth who feel disenfranchised by the CLINTON and McCAIN platforms. OBAAMA’s message of hope has these people pulling out their wallets better than the most sincere traveling preacher I have ever seen.
And it wasn’t just their pocketbooks that people are offering claims the Atlantic, but their technical skills as well. OBAAMA is said to have been the candidate to make the best use of today’s internets technology. I wonder if the writer was considering the YouTube hit ‘Obaama Girl’ as part of BARACK’s strategy?
Political campaigns always turn on the dollar and the spin that OBAAMA is receiving says that he has returned politics back into the hands of the people and away from the corporations, but ultimately aren’t these people paid by the corporations? If I had $2300 and a choice between earmarking that money for a political campaign or taking my lady on a first class trip to Rome I think you know which way I am going.
When in Rome…
