America is moving forward, South Africa is moving backwards, with high crime, the highest murder and rape rates in the world. This is the real Madiba legacy. Not Apatheid. SA is now one of the continents poorest nation. With a new presiden called ZUMA who has a string of corruption charges brought against him, who is supported by Mandela.

Obama is a legend in the making. Mandela is the legend that they tried to make.

Took a look at the black agenda report.

I had been looking for commentary on Katrina and the influx of illegal immegrants for quite a while and outside of sourcewatch, finding not much.

Thanks!

Obama: the audacious marketing of false hope

I’ve noted a considerable evolution since yesterday. Talking to bloggers on Swampland, I’ve noted an influx of a new species:

Levopterodemus ignoramus Bennett, 2008.

The Ignorant Democrat.

I’ve come to the conclusion that America is NOT ready, and, as I explained with apologies, the Democrats have shot the dog. If you aren’t familiar with this saying, it basically means they’ve committed a horrible blunder.

These new individuals of spp. ignoramus are blithly celebrating Hillary’s success in “defeating” him. Of course, they failed to mention it was with considerable help from our own far right, which has been shrilly broadcasting hate speech nonstop since the Wright episode broke.

She has no shame, I’m sorry to say, and from all I’ve heard, the mood of the US Black voter is not conductive, to say the least, towards mending fences with her should she win the nomination.

I’m still hoping he will pull it out, he has withstood a three-on-one (Fox News, McCain, and Hillary) attack, so I commend him. He is still drawing large crowds, like today’s in Medford Oregon. Lots and lots of White faces, which gives me hope that the demogagues gleefully clinking glasses in Democratville havn’t completely assassinated his character.

I’m of the opinion that he has no other choice but to ignore the racial chatter from here on out. Even if it gets bad, he will have to, I think, because he’s tried twice, without success to blunt the unfounded charges levelled against him.

It’s a chaotic, hypocritial highstand of racial bile:
Hillary avoids tarring with her association with Ferraro, who made comments that not only insulted Black but also White voters who used their heads when deciding he’s their man.
McCain, who also avoids being tarred with his relationship with Hagee, a religious bigot who tomorrow will hold a “slave sale” at his church.

Talk about poor taste…

Hillary, in her unfettered, ambitious and unscrupulous mechinations directed towards netting her the presidency, has netted herself something else instead:

Defeat.

Why?

After having watched the events taking place, and talking with extended family, and others as well, I believe that Black voters will not support Hillary in November. They will stay home. As a matter of fact, some have told me they would rather vote for McCain.

Sorry about such a long post, but there is deep irony in her attaining her tainted success:

The 10% of the electorate she needs to win in November is the Black vote – and it won’t be there.

You also accurately predicted a spectrum of responses and reactions, as evidenced by the comments here.
