My response to a "We know what's best for them" mad-dog thinking liberal/progressive:
You have your entire torso up your ass.
You have no fucking clue about what we are angry about. Black folk know about the political shenanigans that exist on the Hill, be it bullshit ethics investigations, slow moving on the Black Farmers’ settlement, disrespecting the President FOR SPORT - anything else for political theatre. Since we have President Obama, the light is now on for us full blast. Shining that spotlight is showing us people like you, who sit on the sidelines and throw burning shit bags when PBO is fighting for the things you supposedly espouse. You are still defending a president out of office for 10 years, but you don’t take a second to consider what PBO has to do to get things done with those motherfuckers who ultimately mean him (and you) no goddamn good.
It’s been fascinating to us to witness you, the republicans and the professional left find 6,916 different ways to call him nigger or to remind him that he is not good enough. You don’t have his back when he needs you, be it blog posts, Democratic congressmen or senators who are willingly invisible to the public via big media to fight for a cause, but show up to blast PBO after the fact - without hesitation - about "what needs to be done". You best believe we are watching, and we’re not going to forget this shit.
We don't need Ed Shultz's fake ass to beg Jesse Jackson (who has sub-zero credibility among the Black constituency) for us to re-consider our support. We're not watching as Keith Olbermann continues to morph into that murdering puke Joe Scarborough. And Rachel? You are who we thought you were.
And all of you are who you've always been. You know what we have that you don't? RESOLVE.
If you are relying on a progressive to "save" you from PBO, I have two words for you - Bill Halter.
So primary him in 2012. PLEASE.
