CHANGE man....Let's be real....




It pains me to say this...but things will never....ever, ever, ever, change. I watch how Obama campaign around this country speaking on how he plans to change the ways we are governed . It will not happen, I almost fell for the hype, I was supporting everything Obama does, hell, he's my best friend according to Myspace. But, after the chance of him winning the democratic nomination and taking the swing vote from the republican party surfaced. The machine got to work. First Rev. Wright, which I saw as a minor hit, but could be overcame. Than the truthful comments made about "small town" America, which are extremely true if you ever lived or worked in "small town" America. I have done both, and in those towns I would be received better if I didn't have my "fancy" education by both whites and blacks. With all this still going on, I was still was hopeful that the American people have evolved from years past and can see the "snow" job.




To this I say...what in god's name is wrong with me. People, esp. Americans are bitter, spiteful, self-fish, money-hungry, shiftless, conniving, shady, disrespectful, sheep-like wild animals. Most would lie in a poll to clear there conscience, and smile in the face of a swore enemy to save there house from a foreclosure. The persistence of the Civil Rights Movement was the most inspirational moments in this nation's history...but one forgets why it was recognized...Not because of the tragedies that plagued negros of there time and not because of the country felt that blacks were getting treated horrible. It was because of money...and the divestment of the bus stations that brought attention to nation. The power structure realized that the black leaders ability to mobilize at that time had the potential power to shut down the country with the control they wielded. So this lead to the gradual changes in the treatment of the minorities and the racially tolerant facade that this country possesses....






But with the economy in shambles, unemployment reaching extreme heights, and poverty crossing the color line...It is very clear that it more than "small town" America that's bitter. Money has its hands in every part of the this country balance...and every when that goes south, so does human decency, social consciousness, and the facade that was created to keep us quiet, and spending money. We are reacting a point where I have too many bills to give a damn...so get over yourself. This is where the "machine" enters....and the machines isn't all bad...all this "machine" does is take what country is feeling and preys on it. Right now, it is feeding off of a generation of bitterness, bottled-up emotion, and anger towards minorities that they feel have had special treatment. A generation that see there retirement funds drained, pensioned pinched, and peace of mind destroyed. The best way to fight a candidate for change is to suggest that he's what you fear. To scare the country that he's gonna "go Muslim" as soon as he gets into office, evoking a fear into a African American/Christian base that he's the Anti-Christ..(Yes, I've heard it with my own ears). Don't forget to imply that he's a "uppy negga" who does have any touch with the poor so that the bitterness and anger can resurface. Don't forget the guilty by association clause and the picture released right before the primary that would have won the primary by members of his own party.


I lost hope simply because the social climate dictates who will win an election, and the social climate is controlled by the "machine". Right now, everything is pointing to something funny is about to happen. We live in a country were the "notorious" NYPD can shoot at four unarmed men in a car 51 times and get a paid vacation for it, but if you fight dogs you get lose your whole life and go to jail for two years. I'm sorry, but nothing in theses day's tell me that this country can't handle a black president. I truly hope I'm wrong...but let's be real....
