This morning LL Cool J was “interviewed” on Fox regarding the election of Barrack Obama. Come on, what are we nuts! I could give a rat’s tail about the opinions of LL Cool J or any rapper. Rappers are partly responsible for the continued plight (along with government education failures) in the Black neighborhoods of inner cities. Education and melding with the broader society is what the Black youth need. And a good book - Not LL Cool J.
The rampant racism on display yesterday was disappointing. The fact that the entire event was based on the color of the new president’s skin rather than his character does not bode well for the coming days. So many factions have been cultivated by the Democrats that I fear a united American people may be a thing of the past.
Obama deserves the criticism and support he will receive in the coming days not because he is a Black President but because he is the American President. And in America we criticize everyone equally, and if the American press believes any different they are wrong. Americans are fair but will not cower to the race card. We respect all races.
So all Americans of every political stripe need to get ready as the policies start flowing to analyze, criticize, support, or reject based on the content of the policy, not the name of the legislation, or the race of the author of the legislation. Just a thought…
True knowledge of American history is necessary to insure the future of the America we love… This is an important time in our country's history. We must be wise and measured as we choose our leaders going forward.
