The Son’s of Man
There have been much speculation in the African American Community; surrounding Presidents Obama’s conduct in office. Many African Americans feel that President Obama’s is not living up to what he had promised to the people of the United State. I have witness very negative things sad about Obama, such as “he is an puppet” , he is an “Uncle Tom” etc. However, I understand the frustration the black community is having towards Obama and his administration. After all Barack Obama is African American, and was made presidents with a lot of black votes. So, in return many blacks expect , President Obama to take away the past and present oppression of the black race abruptly.
For one thing, no one can take away the past oppression of the African American people; we cannot change the past ; but we can shape the future for an better people , and for the better of “generation to come “. In order for this to be achieved , blacks are needing more jobs , money for education ,and desperately need ownership of their own homes. There is an process that must be established, an order to gain an positive change . African American been waiting many years for this change to come ; and is now weary . However, change cannot be done in one term; President Obama must do an second term in office in order for Americans to receive positive results for change in the USA. More support is needed, from the black community ; for President Obama plan to come into full affect. I half to admit; the election of President Obama ; have been an negative impact on me here in the south; but, this is at no fault of President Obama; there is a lot of whites that disapprove with the people’s pick of presidencies. Which caused more discrimination here in south ; which caused more oppression. Jobs have been created ; but, are still being giving to the white race. Which makes it appear, that President Obama has not keep his word to mankind here in the USA.
The current resolution, President Obama had made; that caused dismay in the African American Community , is the War in Libya. President Obama felt that it is an great need, to intervene to help the people of Libya; for humanity reason, not for the gain of oil. Libyan Leader Moammar Gadhafi, have failed to take care of his people in a humane manner; which caused President Obama to come to the conclusion ;that war is an must. An witness in Libya states “ He (Gadhafi) is using tanks and snipers to terrorize the city.” This was told by CNN ; because the witness refused to reveal their self ; because of the fear of being terrorized
Things are not always what it appears to be or what others perceive to be. We all learn from the environment in which we come from; but it does not define us ;it merely molds us to mimic what we see or reject our surrounding for an better change. The makings of man , comes from man. The “change” that President Obama have promised will come, only If we continue to support his plan for an better nation , for he is The Son’s of Man

ReplyDelete@Shaka-What concerns me is how the, African American community view themselves and their position here in the United State ;especially surrounding the African American Woman. How such an great percentage of blacks are being incarcerated ; whom are religious ; I would like to convey to the African American Community, that they have other ways they can live their life. There should be more resources available to the black communities ; the government should make sure that the African American Community is getting their fare share .
ReplyDeletethe president told us where he was coming form when he said / coined the term "post racial america" His black Skin means nothing, he continues the support of capitalist, imperialist white privlidged america just as his predecessors with white skin have.
ReplyDeletewake up people, the rules have changed,skin color does not matter as much. what matters is if you support this system! (for positions of power)
