As TV talk show host Bill Maher calls him, that "Black Ninja Warrior", has struck again! President Barrack Obama in a podcast interview, in a garage, with comedian Marc Maron stated the obvious that all of America has been denying for centuries, ever since the end of slavery.
During the course of the interview, President Obama stated............
"The legacy of slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination in almost every institution of our lives, you know, that casts a long shadow, and that's still part of our DNA that's passed on. We're not cured of it. And it's not just a matter of it not being polite to say nigger in public. That's not the measure of whether racism still exists or not. It's not just a matter of overt discrimination...... Societies don't overnight completely erase everything that happened 200-300 years prior."
The President's comments, while shocking to most of the media that is reporting it isn't shocking to African Americans at all. Black people are way past being insulted about being called a nigger. Don't get me wrong, you cowardly bigots, you will still get your ass kicked if you call a Black man a nigger but in most cases, it really just confirms your racist views and bigoted ideals by which you live.
Mr. Obama also stated that he is at peace with himself in his fearlessness to speak on race in America because he has been in that barrel that went over Niagara Falls and lived to tell his story. His sense of fearlessness can only be matched by his political savvy
because what he has done is force the media and the public to discuss race and gun laws in America.
He also mentioned in his interview that when a massive shooting occurred in Tasmania, the Australian government was so shocked and horrified that it changed the gun laws almost immediately. In America of course, the results are quite different.
When President Obama was elected, gun sales went through the roof. After the children were killed in Newtown, gun sales skyrocketed simply because the racist in America, who feel that they will one day have to take back "their country" from people of color, purchased more guns in fear that gun laws would be changed and their guns would be taken by the government.
Mad Man was of the opinion that if the gun laws were not changed after those children were killed, the murderous terror attack by Dylaan Roof on the "Mother Emanuel Nine" in their church during bible study would not make a difference.
However, this calculation might have to be adjusted because there is one thing that the Mother Emanuel Nine had that those others who had been murdered did possessed and that is religion. Religion is one of the cornerstones of American society and although Sunday is the most segregated day of the week, religion is still widely practiced by all Americans. This will be the common denominator for change and if the flags come down, just maybe, some of these ridiculous gun laws can be altered. It is almost impossible for any GOD fearing and decent human being to accept anybody being killed while worshiping in a church.
Dylaan Roof is a product of our society. An uneducated, never do well, who, through his extreme ignorance sought fame by doing the unthinkable while thinking that he could create trouble in America, What this stupid, ignorant, and bigoted idiot didn't know was that the worst place in America to kill anybody is in a church while they are studying the bible!
Sidebar: Can we say death penalty for Dylaan Roof? We all know that it is not a deterrent to crime and there may have been some men wrongly put to death, but if there is any criminal that needs to die, it's Dylaan Roof. Why waste taxpayers money on a trial or medical evaluation. If you think that you can change this idiots views about race, you are sorely mistaken.
Kudos to President Obama because he finally stepped up to the plate and said what Black people had been wanting him to say throughout his Presidency. But, let's be brutally honest, he chose to do this only because his ass kissing methods did not move the white men in power at all. And why not, since he's on his way out of office, he's stirring the political waters in a way that Dylaan Roof never could and this is what white America never wants anyone to know. There are some really smart Black people in this country and one of them just happens to be President.
