Old Zaggin....

This is actually the opposite of my Case for Obama. This blog is to discuss self-hating O-L-D Black People who make the Case against Obama!!!

As I watch Jeremiah Wright make a spectacle of himself in the media, it just re-affirms my disdain with Old Black People. He really thinks that people are going to sit up and listen to him, and have a revelation and join his cause?? He fails to realize that there is not one word he can say that can change the opinion people have of him.

I really am not addressing my opinion on his statements. My issue is what he represents. To see him out there makes you wonder is he being paid by the Clinton Campaign? Is he that angry at Obama for shutting him out? Is he really that ego-maniacal? You have to ask if there was some reason his world tour could not wait until after the Primary elections in the 2 largest remaining states...

Self-hating OLD Black People remind me of Uncle Ruckus from Boondocks. I was talking to one a couple of days ago. 1) Obama doesn't have enough experience, 2) I ain't voting for him just because he is Black. 3) He hasn't done anything for Black people. 4) He hasn't accomplished anything. The excuses go on and on.

I tell them,
1) if you are voting solely based on experience you should be voting for McCain not Clinton.
2) Actually as a Black person you should vote for him because he is Black, and you should know that better than anyone as an O-L-D Black person, but assuming you actually take the time to consider some other qualities about the candidate than skin color, I promise you his position on almost every issue will be an equal or better match for you than any other candidate.
3) His campaign is to empower Poor People and the average American, I think this pretty much encompasses 98% of Black people.
4) So, being the President of the Harvard Law Review, a Civil Rights Attorney, a Professor of Constitutional Law, a Community Organizer, a State Senator, a U.S. Senator, winning the Primary election in 30 of 45 contests, leading in the Popular vote, leading in the delegate count, raising over $200 million, and signing up over 2 million donors isn't an accomplishment?

The OLD Zaggin response, "Uh,, well I still ain't gonna vote for him."

Old Black People suffer from 2 primary issues when it comes to self-hate:
1) they are bitter seeing a young person accomplish something that they or someone from their generation could never achieve
2) they don't believe a Black person is competent enough to do anything but be told what to do.....

For those of you unfamiliar with Uncle Ruckus I included this video.
