Barack Obama

And yes, we cannot even have one group to stop the hatred of this President. It's either his color, the values and people he represents, that are hated. If not all.

In either case, it is hatred for rank and file Democrats who had the gall to dare to nominate the black guy for the job of being POTUS. That filters into attacks on this group which are arrogant and absolutely shameless in their sense of entitlement to come and take a dump in our virtual living room here. Last year we were being trolled with lies, but mostly pure vitriol. If not that, with the same tone of mealy-mouthed, begrudging commentary better associated with Rush and O'Reilly.

Irisheyes asked why was it allowed? Why do people come with impunity and toss feces in the air, then complain when they are not allowed back in to take a piss on us? Who allows that in their own home? Are we just supposed to take it like dumb doormats, or do they expect us to get down on our knees and humbly ask for more abuse?

Yes, we saw something in 2007 and still see more in 2014 in Obama, that is more than his color. Black people have supported so many white candidates who ascribe to the values that would perfect this nation, without endless whining. But we have this crew that demands he cater to them and their fantasies exclusively and demand he serve them alone.

I see the caterwauling about the ACA as defining the racial lines at DU. No, it was not Nirvana. Obama never promised that. It was a lifeline for the invisible, the ones who can't afford to post at DU. The ones who don't spend their time complaining about the NSA because they have been treated as suspect all along.

Oh, yes, they are touted by those who just now notice the problem and want black people to entertain them with a revolution, they want to see blood run in the streets. The new dance they want to see black people do for them.

It won't be their blood though, it never was. People who bled take things more seriously and don't want violence, they don't want to be on TV, they want it resolved. Those who cheer on any opportunity for violence sound more like voyeurs to me than anything else.

Their main heroes are the celebrity naysayers, the purveyors of disdain and haters of Obama and Democrats. They will not be hurt if he fails in his mission. We know damn well they are paid handsomely for it, and don't give a damn about the unnecessary deaths of black people in this nation every year that far exceed the flashier deaths by police.

The silent, the unknown, the black souls who have gone to their graves for lack of ANY health care AT ALL. Sheshe posted the statistics some time back, the daily holocaust.

When they see a lifeline they must take it, as they have no room to complain for not getting the perfect, a luxury they don't have, nor do the disabled or impoverished. We need solutions, not rigid ideology and can't care where it comes from.

I did not get much out of the ACA, but then, I was not totally without any means. Some are and have been for years. The Medicaid expansion was meant to save the lives of nameless and unwanted people who don't post here, yet they are humans. If the naysayers believed in Equality, they would accept that they may just be better off than some others.

But they won't, they keep whining about what they didn't get. It reminds me of the fat caterpillars on the juicy leaves high up the tree, looking down on their kin dying in the dust far below and without sustenance and then finding fault with the for the few leaves that fell down for them. That is what I call gall.

The blindness we're trolled with must be a form of racism, and there is more than one kind. The kind that honestly says like the insane Right, that Obama can never be good enough because of his skin color as if skin color is the sum total of character, just what MLK argued against, and the Reich argued for.

The other is the racism that Obama cannot be his own man, cannot express any difference than white memes that have not worked for POC. There are many who accuse Obama of not being liberal, or progressive, or whatever the litmus test du jour is, because he does not solve problems to give their groups, mainly white ones, more power. So in what way are they different than that goon who owned the Lakers, saying blacks were the enemy?

I could rant more but I have some things to do offline. Glad you posted here at the BOG. See you later, LS.
