The Real Reasons So Many White Men Hate Obama And Lie About His Presidency.

Racism would be the simple explanation for the reason so many conservatives exhibited visceral hate for President Barack Obama; much of it happening even after his presidency was over. And while racism may be the genesis for their visceral hate, racism is also very easy for racists to deny. Underneath the observant racist behavior, both physical and vocal, lies the real reasons so many white Americans exhibited hate for the black President. White men... Read more →

Black Men And The Racial Insanity Of White America.

An inability to engage in rational introspection is a serious personality defect. Consequently, when it comes to race, some white Americans seem to have lost their mind. Before the 2012 Presidential election, a Texas Republican predicted that if President Barack Obama won a second term, America would erupt in civil war. He didn't expound on who would be fighting who. Nevertheless, in the days following the re-election of President Barack Obama, white "Christians" all... Read more →

The Real Reason Conservative Republicans Hate Barack Obama.

Tea Party Conservatives, right wing nut jobs, and Republican obstructionists like John Boehner hate everything Obama. They hate it even when his efforts are aimed at improving the common good for all American citizens in these United States of America. But, their ugly rant, rage, and lies against President Barack Obama is neither surprising nor misunderstood. Their hate and obstruction are historically predictable, historically irrational, and historically evil. Frederick Douglas, years ago, explained the... Read more →

Native Americans, The Shame Of Democracy, And The Lie About Equality.

"When they laid down their arms, we murdered them, we lied to them. We cheated them out of their lands. We starved them into signing fraudulent agreements that we called treaties which we never kept. We turned them into beggars on a continent that gave life for as long as life can remember. And by any interpretation of history, however twisted, we did not do right. We were not lawful nor were we just... Read more →

Hate, Racism And The Suicide Pact Of Conservative Middle Class

"I would rather die than have a nigger save my life." This quote, first uttered years ago, and reflected in many more narratives over the years in places like a Star Trek episode, reveals the suicidal depravity of hate and racism. Hate and racism has no value. They destroy communities, cities, and nations. But hate's destruction has its genesis in the destruction of the individual and in families. It encourages men and women make... Read more →

The Sanford Six Jury And The Law Of Self Preservation

The Sanford Six Jury had no choice. Under the law of self-preservation they had to find George Zimmerman not guilty of murder. But, to be sure, they applied the law not to George Zimmerman but to themselves. Why? They have to live in Sanford Florida. And they knew that if they found Zimmerman guilty of murder their life in Sanford Florida would have been a living hell. So under the protection of the law... Read more →

Are Conservative Republicans Ready For A Hispanic President?

Marco Rubio is said to be a rising star in the Republican party. But, consistent with the talking point vernacular of a common common Fox News narrative, what if the Tea Party and the right wing conservatives aren't ready for a Hispanic president? What if Senator Marco Rubio, who is a Cuban-American, create images in the conservative brain of that most hated man of Cuba, Fidel Castro? Is that a risk a Conservative Republican... Read more →

Be Careful Of The "Truth" You Hear And Read; Be More Careful Of Who You Trust And Believe.

I grew up in a part of small Black America of the south. During those formative years I overheard a few adult Black men attempt to validate many an argument with a simple statement: "I read it in the book". I assumed they believed that if it were published in a book or written in publications like magazines and newspapers, then it had to be true. At the time, it didn't occur to me... Read more →

Can Hispanic Americans Trust Republicans?

Long running advice columns by Abigail Van Buren and Ann Landers and more recent ones by Carolyn Hax and others clearly demonstrate America's love and need for advice columns on all kinds of issues. On any day, one could expect to see a letter like the one below. "Dear Abby: My boyfriend of five years says he loves me and wants to marry me some day. But he has never really asked me to...

What Motivates The Unrelenting Conservative Attack On America?

Racism trumps everything, even common sense and patriotic love for America. But that fact doesn't explain enough, the unrelenting attacks on America, on Democracy, and on the middle class by conservatives Republicans. To be sure, a large contingent of white Americans really believe that they won't be happy until Barack Obama is replaced by a white man in the White House. But, it is too easy to suggest that white conservatives, both citizens and... Read more →

Embarrassment Chronology: Psycho History Of A Small Black God.

Adapted From My Original Poem: Chronology Of A Small Black God They laughed when he fell down, or when his shirt was torn, or when he wore no shoes or socks, or when his haircut was different from the rest. And he was embarrassed. Because He didn't understand why. They laughed when monosyllabic words became stuttering redundacies. And they said he talked funny. And he was embarrassed. Because he did. They enjoyed calling him... Read more →

Secession And Suicide As Political Statements in the USA?

Instead of "Secession And Suicide As Political Statements in the USA", I was tempted to give this post the title of "You Don't have to Be Crazy To Be A Conservative Republican But It Helps". I didn't because it was too easy and perhaps too much of a cheap shot. Nevertheless, the premise is not without some validity. Behavior and rhetoric by Republicans and pundits on the conservative right throughout the political campaign were... Read more →

America Has Never Gotten Over Its Super Nigger Or Unqualified Blacks Syndrome

Some will object to the use of the word Nigger in the title of this post but it is there for two reasons. First, its use is germane to this piece and its conclusions about some views of Barack Obama's performance as President of the United States of America. Secondly, it ignores the pretense that the word isn't prolific in conservations all over America. My friend Craig was a Negro Child of the 40s... Read more →

Mitt Romney, The Republican Party, And The Culture of Lying

A lie is a lie is a lie. And no amount of presidential posturing or "looking presidential" can change that. In the first presidential debate with The President, Mitt Romney went to a place where no honest man would ever go. Time and time again in the debate he lied to the American People. And he lied unabashedly. He lied about his tax plan. He lied about his deficit plan. And he lied about... Read more →

Does Racist Logic And Racist PoliticsThreaten Justice In Trayvon Martin's Murder?

The answers to the questions below are obvious. I'll ask them anyway. Suppose a 28 year-old armed Black Man stalks a 17-year old white kid in his father's neighborhood in Sanford, Florida. He stalks the kid within striking distance and the kid fights back to defend himself from what is obviously a scary black man. But the Black Man Stands His Ground, shoots and kills the white teenager. Is the black Man arrested on... Read more →
