So I state neither now nor never will I ever admire or denigrate a Man’s ethnicity for the sake of his ethnicity. Now I am not so fallen as to not understand that there are many who are relieved and even joyed to acclaim as proof and fact that Obama is symbolic of our transcending our racist past. But I must seek pardon, for I never doubted that our society had long since abjured racism as a vehicle for public expression or approbation, so that any among us who captured our fancy would not be denied office on that account. And to dispense with the tedious, of course there are racists and there ever will be--such a thing can no more be eradicated than murder, or for that matter the poor.
But alas such stories have their complications and ironies. Not least is the official racialism at the core of post-modern liberalism, and consequently, the Democrat party, which to its shame has merely re-invented the Plantation structure: still averred for its order and more its dispersing of resources.
Regrettably, the Obama campaign, and even he himself with his allusive jokes, “oh by the way did I mention he’s black,” or the, “I look different than those other guys on the dollar bill,” put the spur to the Ministry of Propaganda, as if it really needed an invitation, and taking due heed, the moronic talking heads, left wing pundits, liberal celebrities, the likes of folks akin to Keith Olbermann, Chris Matthews, Bill Maher piped for his voting. We should give the guy who looks different a chance we heard; that this election was all about race was said; that if he wasn’t elected it was because this country is racist was slurred; that his color would redeem this nation. So a racialist chorus pealed across the land. A retrograde and sordid appeal.
Though I concede our president was suave enough to merely intone his ethnicity with hardly disguised winks, while explicitly promising redemption, the aforementioned other sundry had no such caution. And so premised his election has redeemed the presidency, the nation, America. Yet I must ask how this earthly occurrence, this election, how has it redeemed the horror of slavery or the fallen dead in the Civil War? How indeed has his election redeemed America? The proper answer: Not one whit, not at all. His color is our hue, as indeed every hue of our nation is embedded in our very fiber, our very nation. No John Adams, no Barack Obama.
No such earthly power can redeem such earthly sins. Neither slavery, the war, nor the dead are justified by his election; who would diminish such suffering; only an ego maniac would suggest such; only the most cynical would allow anyone to believe such perfidy. Neither their lives nor their suffering is in anyway derivative to our own inflated egos, and it is just such thinking that has allowed, nay justified, Stalin, Hitler, Mao and other kindred spirits. Is it wrong to mark the exceptional occurrence? No. He is our first black President and as such confirms yet again our own Declaration Of Independence and Constitution, but he does not justify either text--they were justified at their writing or not at all.
Perforce I must believe that President Obama believes no such thing: that the racialism that appeared in his campaign, that he allowed to theme through MSM and other outlets was merely a necessary avenue leading to the Whitehouse. Sadly it was not necessary, and more lamentable, I must believe the President is unscrupulous and deceitful in his lust for power, I say must, because the alternative is so much worse.
Oh wait, you’re right, I forgot, he was merely saving the cornerstone of the Democrat Party, of the left you say. What would they do without racialist demagoguery? If he hadn’t and the left in general hadn’t tooted the horn of racialist politics it would have put to rot the cornerstone of Democrat structures, strategy, tactics.
Sadly I suppose you’re right. Lamentably, even redemption was never in the cards, there was no misguided but at least well intentioned motive. So even though he and they didn’t have to do it, they did.
