Calling Obama the Great White Hope is the Same as Calling him a N-gga.


The word N-gga means something only because Jamestown
means something.

Because because the fact that Black Wall Street got torched
means something.

Because 1968 means something.

Because acting white means something.

Because 40 acres and a mule means something.

Because Black WWII veterans got systematically robbed
and nothing has been done about it.

In 2008, I have become particularly attuned to the notion of burden sharing.
For instance, if you and I decide to go to dinner, but want me to drive
out to the boondocks because you don’t want to pay for gas, or don’t
want to drive, or because it is your favorite restaurant, then that
would constitute me shouldering the majority of the burden for this dinner.

In this dinner called ethnicity/race taking ’08 Presidential elections,
the burden of being a n-gga or even the great white hope, based on this
article, has been shifted clearly to Black folks.

In this piece Mr. Greenberg, is trying to clown Obama for
playing the hand he was dealt. It’s as if he resents the fact that
Obama can be so slick and to have the audacity to try and WIN.

At the same time, Obama doesn’t threaten or discomfort whites. He doesn’t strike them as wronged or impatient, or as the spokesman of a long-subjugated minority group or even as someone particularly culturally different from themselves. As much Kansan as Kenyan, Obama does not descend from families who suffered American slavery or Jim Crow. Note, that if a person got addicted to antidepressants, that on line viagra will hardly resolve their initial depression problem. Similarly, old aged men can start to suffer from a negative reaction to the drug may experience a slight stinging in the eyes, mild nausea, blocked nose, headache and mild dehydration.As with any drug or treatment, it is advised that one should consult his/her doctor before purchasing the product. purchase cheap cialis Whom to consult if these tips couldn’t cialis viagra work? You can tell your partner to consult Dr. Studies show links that there is relevance between smoking and erectilie dysfunction, which is a good motivator for viagra in india loved this young men, who smoke, to stop now. His family tree has fewer slaves than slaveholders, fewer chains than Cheneys.

There would be NO NEED for a great white hope if the
Great Negro
Stereotype weren’t on the other side of the coin.
Willie Horton anyone?

I am all for a critique of Obama, or any of the candidates. Wasn’t
I talking about Huckabee last week? But please, don’t bring out
the magnify glass and forget your mirror. Not this year.
Last year, I wrote a lot about that fact that there is a thin
line between resentment and love and I think that is at work here.

That people want to cheer for you, but simultaneously resent
you when you win. It’s tiring.

Americans (infer garden variety White voters) are NOT going to
for him if he hammers race down their throats.

Americans, get uncomfortable if you talk about race at
happy hour, the lunch hour, or too loudly on the train.

Are Black Bloggers Meaner than White Bloggers?

In last months Essence Nia, Gabby and Sanaa asked whether that
Black
Blog sites were meaner than the white bloggers.

Essence: How do you deal with the 24-hours-a-day gossip that comes out on the Internet?

Gabrielle: Just last week somebody gave me a baby. This isn?t Perez Hilton or the White gossip people, these are women of color, specifically Black women who, for whatever reason, don?t like the company I keep.

Sanaa: She’s talking about the gossip sites.

Essence: The blogs.

Sanaa: That are run by Black women.

Gabrielle: And now because everyone is clamoring for celebrity tidbits, the bigger gossip sites and even mainstream entities are picking up on it. No fact-checking, no nothing. And in one week?s time, there were like five different dudes, a baby?I?m a homewrecker. In literally seven days. I can?t point the finger at the White media. They don?t care about us. Paparazzi are not staked out in front of any of our houses. They are not going through our garbage because they don?t care about us in that way. So when you hear crap about us, it is coming from our own community, which hurts.

Nia: We are some of the few Black actresses whose passions are rooted in our community.

Gabrielle: There is this idea that there is integrity in journalism; if it?s written it has to be true. But that?s not the case. When blogs or any of the magazines get it wrong, there’s no accountability. Podiatry viagra prices http://djpaulkom.tv/category/news/page/6/ Stanmore aims to educate, prevent, and treat people with lower limb abnormalities depending on one’s foot needs. Pfizer really has its job cut out due to chronic diseases view my store now generic vs viagra like syphilis, rheumatism etc. These contain Sildenafil, an element or ingredient of the medicine is Sildenafil citrate and it is proving to be very cheap viagra in india popular. Myth: Pulling out at the point of orgasm without protection is an effective form levitra cheapest of contraception. In the next breath, they’ll complain on the blogs that we don’t have enough Black stars. Well, you rip us to shreds every two seconds from our nose to the weave to the clothes to the shoes to the ashy ankles.


Implicit in Gabby’s rationale is that the Black bloggers should be nicer to
the Black women actors because we all share the same ethnicity.

Shock blogging sales ad space. The Black blogger’s and the shock
writers know that. Bol,YBF, and for that matter Imus and Howard Stern
get this as well.

Fresh is a little different in that she won’t hate on you just to do so.
You typically have to earn it, and I have found her writing about women’s
bodies from size 4-14 to be body positive.

Ci Ci at Lenzizm speaks on this very issue when she says,

Hmm… my question is, who are these unnamed black female bloggers? I for one love Gabrielle. I am a black female blogger, and I don’t recall ever saying anything bad about her or any of the other actresses being interviewed. But then, I am just a contributor, it is called “Lenzism” after all. And I got this excerpt from Essence.com, so that flies in the face of her theory about not having any sourcing. To be fair, some blogs do hate on her, but most of the “negativaty” is coming from Page Six or some other print gossip column. The black blogosphere is, however, burning up with negativity because of her comments

Thats not to say that I haven’t been critical, as I know in my most recent post
I was criticizing he level of grease on the women in the Gucci Mane video.

But talking yack about someone’s weave isn’t isn’t my shtick.

Here are MM we laugh, make fun, analyze. The whole 9.

We also own mirrors AND magnifying glasses. We use them too.

Do you think the Black Bloggers are meaner?

Are the artists just being sensitive?
