Barack Obama Plays False Compassion of Black America to Get Black Votes

By William Owens, Jr.

Barack Obama does not think too highly of Black America. Whether liberal puppet-masters in his campaign are prompting this or Obama, himself, lacks a real connection with the Black American struggle, one thing is clear: Barack Obama and his party do not want us to leave the oppressive plantation mindset that has exploited the Black vote for years.

Obama is far more liberal than he is Black. His elitist views that Black Americans cannot succeed, contribute to society, or take care of our families without government mandated programs and policies, promote the racist idea that somehow the Black race is inferior while he ignores the magnificent accomplishments and achievements of our ancestors.

Despite what history tells us, we are led to believe by liberal politicians and the mainstream media that we are not capable of taking care of ourselves and our families, and therefore must be kept in the bondage of a welfare mentality that will never afford us our true worth today or future potential for our children and grandchildren.

We are led to believe that the Black American cannot be equally, if even more, qualified for a promotion, and therefore must rely on Affirmative Action, which further promotes animosity and suspicion with our co-workers and fellow Americans.

We are led to believe that Black Americans are not smart enough to succeed in private schools and therefore must be stuck in a failing education system, rather than grant us greater opportunities with vouchers to attend better schools.

We are led to believe that Black American children offer nothing to society and therefore must be aborted, accounting for 40 percent of all abortions in America.

We led to believe that the importance of the father to the Black American family is archaic and far less important than two mothers.

This should outrage Black America.

Liberals like Obama refuse to accept that Black Americans are perfectly capable of living the American dream without the government's help. We are entrepreneurs, doctors, lawyers, teachers and community leaders. We are great contributors to society, like our ancestors, and realize there is no better place on earth for such an opportunity to do so than America.

America is not our enemy. The White man is not our enemy. The liberal mindset and preconceived agenda of Black America, fueled and exploited by politicians and the media, are our enemies. To continually and erroneously define the Black American as incompetent is but a sinister plot to convince Black Americans we cannot succeed and must surrender our freedoms, fearful to leave the plantation mindset.

Historically, this has been the endeavor of Barack Obama's party. The Democrat agenda has historically intended to bind the freedoms of Black America. Once their racist laws were reversed, programs were put into place to keep us as a people forever dependent on the government master. The torch has merely been repackaged and passed to Barack Obama; the old playbook, newly re-designed with a cover of "compassion".

Obama and his party have a vested interest in the race issue. To continue to define us by our race and not our contributions and abilities, they relentlessly strive to shackle our inherent right to accomplishment and achievement. Once we identify ourselves as Americans first, race disappears and we let go of the bigoted and false notion that Black Americans are excluded from the American dream. The minute we throw off the chains of expected mediocrity and truly accept that we as Black Americans can and will contribute, compete and prosper, we leave the plantation mindset and the master forever loses our power and our votes.

As a Black American, I refuse to accept an agenda by Obama or any other liberal politician that seeks to segregate my race from the American experience based on faulty and bigoted misconceptions. In exchange for our votes and our freedoms, Obama and his party will continue to promise their idea of freedom and equality for Black America, but knowingly and shamelessly will only ensure the cycle of bondage retains its ugly stronghold.
