Whether
or not polls are correct with respect to the rising anger and organizing
on the part of far right wing organizations, certain things are
obvious even now. The
United States, remains locked in bloody wars in
Afghanistan, Iraq,
and Pakistan,
the jobless rate, home foreclosures, and homelessness continue to
climb in real terms, and the growing and massive Black underclass
continues to slip deeper into the abyss of economic emaciation.
The
more the Obama / Biden / Rahm Emanuel administration placates their
corporate / military masters, the richer the corporate elite become,
and the poorer everyday people of all colors become. Particularly,
this is the case for the Black underclass in this nation.
As
economic conditions continue to deteriorate across the board for
everyday Black, Brown, Red, White, and Yellow people in the United
States, the corporate media engages in tactics
to distract the masses of people from reality. Interestingly
enough, most corporate self-described �news� media outlets have
ceased presenting even a semblance of the increasing daily count
of U.S. military personnel deaths in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan;
just as the corporate media, in collusion with the Obama
/ Biden / Rahm Emanuel administration, is attempting
to distract from, down play, distort, and/or outright ignore the
horrible planetary oil disaster emanating from the Gulf of Mexico,
courtesy of Barack Obama and corporate greed.
The
Black underclass, and most especially the youth, are paying the
price for Barack Obama�s growing, class arrogance and his
de facto aloofness from the needs of the disenfranchised poor, with
a special emphasis upon the Black underclass. The youth of the Black
underclass are the cannon fodder for gangs, prisons, and
the military; while Obama and his Negrodian and avaricious
corporate ilk continue to lie to the everyday people, while enriching
themselves at the expense of the poor.
Racism
is on the rise, and Barack Obama and his disgusting mental-mulatto
Negrodian counterparts, cynically use the very rise of racism
itself, as a tool to control, manipulate, and
shield themselves from everyday people, especially Black
people. When it comes to racism and Barack Obama, this is the crux
of the matter.
The
Democratic Party foxes and the Republican Party wolves know only
too well that the far right wing is also on the political rise.
In fact they are counting on it. They are counting on it
as a mechanism to continue manipulating people of all colors as
perpetual ping-pong balls. They are counting on it
as a way to continue to divide and control the masses of everyday
people, while simultaneously and callously pimping the very pain
of the people by pretending that there is a substantive difference
between the Democratic Party foxes and the Republican Party wolves,
which of course, there is not.
Thus,
systemically, nothing changes, which is precisely what pimping
the pain of the people is really all about. The corporate media
consistently plays its insidious role in furthering and perpetuating
this hideous deceit and manipulation of the people.
Meanwhile,
the bloody U.S. wars abroad, directed
by the corporate / military elite, continue unabated, while
the sham of so-called health care reform is touted as an
achievement by the Democratic Party foxes and the corporate media.
In
this age of the internet, cable television, and newspapers and magazines
of the corporate print media, people in this nation are kept more
ignorant, misinformed, and distracted than ever
before. This is quite deliberate on the part of Barack
Obama, and his cohorts of the Democratic Party foxes and the Republican
Party wolves.
Our
task is to keep on exposing, clarifying, and organizing.
We must expect to be ignored by the corporate media, but said media
is not who we should be about seeking to reach. Rather, it
is everyday people who we must continue to reach and organize for
real systemic change, and nothing less.
Onward
then, my sisters and brothers. There remains so much work to be
done. Onward!
