EDITORIAL OBAMA’S “BLACK WEEK”, THE CHARLESTON TERROR ATTACK, AND “THERE’S NO SUCH THING AS A BLACK RACIST” By Phil Seahorn philseahorn@gmail.com
June 30th, 2015 THIS WEEK, PRESIDENT OBAMA WAS CONFRONTED WITH THE ONE THING HE HAS DREADED IN HIS ENTIRE PRESIDENCY: CONFRONT A NATIONAL ISSUE DIRECTLY RELATED TO RACE.
HOWEVER, HIS EULOGY AT THE CHARLESTON TERRORIST SERVICES, HIS USE OF THE WORD”NIGGER” IN AN INTERVIEW, AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS THIS WEEK HAS CLEARLY MARKED HIM NOW AND FOREVER AS A “BLACK “PRESIDENT.AND THAT ALSO, SADLY, UNLEASHED A WAVE OF RACIAL HATRED AND VITRIOL IN PUBLIC AND ONLINE IN AMERICA IN 2015 THAT HAS RIVALLED THAT OF ANYTHING IN THIS COUNTRY’S RACIST PAST TOWARDS AFRICAN AMERICANS. From Fox News’s continued and, amazingly, increased racial politics to Republican pundits refusing to call the events in Charleston a “terrorist” attack, and even going so far as denying the attacks as even racially motivated, a tone of sheer hatred and contempt toward the African American community has been picked up and swept into the winds of the American Diaspora circa 2015. There is even a new flavor of racism being directed toward the African American community and this form is the most insidious and evil of all. Online and news media pundits are now categorizing ANY hatred or anger by African Americans by Charleston, the Rachel Dolezal incidence here in Spokane, hell, the last fucking YEAR as being “BLACK
RACISM”.
NO, WHAT THIS NEW RACISM SHIT IS HERE IS THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF AMERICAN WHITE PRIVELEDGE. American children being gunned down in a school is one thing. But Americans being gunned down in a house of worship, MURDERED
IN A HOUSE OF GOD, in the one and only country in the world BUILT EXCLUSIVELY ON CHRISTIAN VALUES AND BELIEFS because of the color of their skin takes American violence toward races and religions to a whole new fucking level. And African Americans are called “racist” when they speak out in anger towards this shit? See where I’m going with this? I am so fucking SICK AND TIRED of some white folks calling themselves being “clever” by trying to “reverse racism” (and what a fucking moronic name) well, racism.
I WILL TYPE THIS AGAIN: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “BLACK RACIST “IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. All over the place, in America, in 2015, after the most horrific racially motivated terror attack in the U.S. since, well, the African American diaspora since fucking slavery, these “Americans” are accusing the victim of the crime. The world sees Americans calling angry African Americans racist for being angry over the last week’s events in the U.S. They see the sheer fucking HYPOCRISY in these allegations by Americans against other Americans over a hellish event.
SO DO AMERICA’S ENEMIES. Too dramatic, huh? Well, you can “pooh pooh “that shit away all you like, but wherever any American is today, they will be affected by anything negative that happens to this country. ”Who cares about a bunch of dead niggers” and “this shit will all blow away” is
EXACTLY the shit I heard about Ferguson a little less than a year ago. Added the fact that when you have a world power PUBLICLY joke about the leader of the most powerful country in the world being “black and weak”, what the fuck does one think that does to America’s financial status in the world?
RACISM IN AMERICA TODAY IN 2015 HURTS AMERICA IN THE GLOBAL AND POLITICAL MARKET. Sharks smell blood in the water, they attack. See where I’m going with this?
In the words of Brother Malcolm X, and I know some white folks absolutely HATE reading this, but” the chickens have INDEED come home to roost”. We as UNITED Americans have to stop any more of those chickens from coming back home. The racial dialog that President Obama was expected to lead this country in because of his election in 2008 has long been coming. And we as ALL Americans need that dialog NOW. With more and more racial turmoil in America most assuredly expected as the upcoming elections for the presidential elections heat up, as WELL as the hate speech from the political right (much of it racially themed), Obama will have to weigh in as anchor and balance for the turmoil that will be America in the coming months. But what happens if he doesn’t? How many more Dylan Roof’s will it take to bring Obama AROUND to leading as a “black “president? Some American whites also need to understand, “black racism” or WHATEVER the fuck you want to call it, African Americans, and the WORLD see THAT shit for what it REALLY is. An America that is TRULY a “house divided.” THAT won’t change the events in Charleston, or the ramifications that horrific American terrorist attack will MOST ASSUREDLY have on this country in the coming months.
