‘Barack, I Didn’t Do It for This’: An Homage to Andrew Goodman
Obama expects America to believe that he can simultaneously heal the nation’s racial divide even as he excuses away the racist comments of a close confidant. I’m sorry, but my mind is just not agile enough to embrace that kind of double-think. What’s becoming more clear is that Mr. Obama has a talent for race hustling. Like any good huckster, he knows his mark. How did he get so adept at manipulating white, liberal guilt? My guess: an early childhood lesson learned on his mother’s knee. We can only hope that double standard racism won’t fly with the American public. President Obama? God spare us. We can look forward to four years of Rev. Wright screaming racism everytime legitimate criticism of policy is raised. And this will heal the racial divide? God save the republic!
