To satisfy my ethnological curiosity I have discovered the blog “Your Black Gospel” (http://yourblackgospel.blogspot.com/2008/04/it-is-time-to-pray-and-march-for.html). In the main page you can see a photomontage with various images. The central image is that of smiling Obama putting the hand on the (also smiling) Rev. Wright’s shoulder. There are many other images that I could not single out (I’m not expert in the black political ethnology). For Obama, to disavow his intimate relation with Rev. Wright would mean to lost immediately the enormous quantity of followers that see in Rev. Wright, Jesse Jackson, Luis Farrakhan, Rev. Eric Lee and other black predicators their political guides. Martin Luther King gave positive direction to the black movement (Black Panthers and Muslim Nation point out another direction that would be disastrous). With the coming of St Obamus the black radicalism, full of hate for the white “establishment”, came out with violence from the underground to the surface of the American society. It is possible to say that is the “historical meaning” of Obama’s phenomenon, i.e. to make visible what many didn’t want to see. I don’t make the rhetoric questions “what do the black radicals want?” or “why do they hate the white who helped black people to have all civil rights and economic prosperity?”. Hate is irrational. All these big and little black messiahs (except the truly great Martin Luther King) were and are prophets of this irrational hate.
What about the Obama’s white supporters? Leftists, liberals, common criminals, usual politically correct idiots, all by-products of American society, all of them are gathered around Obama, found in him their authentic Guide.
The sane part of America that hasn’t lost common sense has gathered around John McCain, because one can agree o not with this man, but it is possible to discuss rationally with him. With his adversaries any discussion is inutile.
