‘Barack, I Didn’t Do It for This’: An Homage to Andrew Goodman
The situation with Obama is no different than the situation with white progressives in the South in the 50′s and 60′s. Back then, if you were white and spoke and acted for civil rights, you were often ostracized and despised by ‘polite’ white society. If you spoke up when someone told a racist joke at the Country Club, you weren’t invited back. Yet the civil rights movement required whites to take a brave stand against the status quo. Now, in order to have cred’ with the black community, you must, at a minimum, tacitly approve of the ‘kill whitey’ mantra that passes for progressive activism in the black community. So, if Obama had any real integrity, he would have damned Pastor White and all who believe as he does, in an effort to truly put an end to racism.
