Obama Insults Half a Race
Wednesday, 18 June 2008
by BAR executive editor Glen Ford
…Black males have “abandoned their responsibilities, acting like boys instead of men,” said Obama, citing statistics on female-headed households. “You and I know how true this is in the African-American community.”…
The Black man who wants to be president spends Father’s Day at church in loud and general denunciation of Black males. For added insult, he describes them as “boys.” Barack Obama’s primary audience isn’t the conservative Black Pentecostal congregation, but “white social conservatives in a race where these voters may be up for grabs,” says the New York Times. In America, even the “Black” corporate candidate runs against Black people. How did such madness come to pass in 2008? Blame the Black “progressive” misleaders who failed to challenge Obama when they had the chance. Now it’s too late, and African Americans are reduced to objects of derision.
