The link: Will Obama Make A Statement On Jackson? (cbsnews.com)
A quote:
The White House hasn’t yet decided whether Presiden Obama should issue a statement on the death of Michael Jackson.
He was a world-renowned superstar, but there are parts of his life that hardly merit words of tribute from an American President.
I’m a little mesmerized by the untimely death of Michael Jackson, but other than Michael Jackson’s phenomenal abilities as a musician and dancer, primarily as a dancer in my opinion, there’s nothing admirable about how Michael Jackson lived his life; there’s nothing in the way of his character that we would want to emulate, and much in the way of superficial and shallow character that we wouldn’t want to emulate.
So could it be that a black man who achieved success without becoming white to cater to the white majority, wouldn’t care to pay tribute to a black man who became white to cater to the white majority?
Of course, black Obama has kissed a whole lot of white butt to get ahead in life, but I don’t see that as any attempt on his part to distance himself from being a black man. As the butt kisser of the masses, he’s pretty much willing to say anything, and willing to appear to be all things to all men. By all appearances, he doesn’t prefer white butt over, say, Islamic butt. Butt kissing is butt kissing to Obama. He’s an equal opportunity butt kisser. Who can rightfully say that Barack Obama prefers kissing white butt over any other kind of butt? No one.
Why would a person of another race ever want to be white anyway? Well, okay, in general, it’s easier to run with the majority than the minority, and so there’s lots of people who change colors in lots of ways to make sure they’re a part of the majority, a part of the middle, to be moderate, to not be labeled as a radical, to fit in, to go with the flow, not out of principal, but out of fear, of persecution, of being rejected, of being ridiculed for being different, even if different is right, which isn’t always the case.
