Ta-Nehisi Coates gets many points right again! Obamas November & December speeches before the nation to interpret the non-indictments of pig MURDERERS Darren Wilson & daniel pantaleo for the killing of Michael Brown and Eric Garner were returns of his typical race-speech genre i.e. an absence of soul, empathy for non-celebrity Black life — offered with all the energy of a man ticking items off a to-do list .... none of the spontaneous annoyance at the arrest of Henry Louis Gates, and little of the sheer pain exhibited in the line, If I had a son, hed look like Trayvon; ........ perfunctory executions of the genre, Again and again obama chooses to xxxxxx about violence on the part of protesters - implicitly or explocitly, while CHOOSING to ignore the FACT that property damage and looting have been the most effective tools of social progress for white people in the u.s.. -- everything from enslavement to Jim Crow laws to lynching to red-lining to mass incarceration for petty offenses to massive PLANNED home-mortgage GRAND LARCENY to MASSIVE Voter and Vote THEFT. If the white u.s. public cannot stomach the idea that arresting a Harvard professor for breaking into his own home is stupid, then there is virtually nothing that a Barack Obama can bring himself to say about Michael Brown. And that is because the death of all of our Michael Browns at the hands of people who are supposed to protect them originates in a force more powerful than any president: u.s. society itself. Barack Obama is yet another enthusiastic figurehead of a congenitally racist country, erected and perpetuated upon the plunder of life, liberty, labor, and land - greatly disproportionate assaults against Black and Brown Peoples with the overt exceptions of the 2 World Wars that obama has carried forth clearly without a second thought The Office does not care where the puppet-leader originates, so long as the puppet- leader ultimately speaks for the state. THE MOST VIOLENT NATION ON EARTH, and probably the universe since there have been no attacks from anywhere else in the universe. Obama responds mostly to a vocal minoritys demands that he say something both eminently profound and only very minimally true. This is the fate of someone who willingly opts for 2 terms rather than 4 years of substantive policies for the 99% What obama refuses to say - or even acknowledge, even privately is that the people of Ferguson are regularly plundered, as their grandparents and ALL of their forebearers, were plundered, and generally regarded as a slush-fund for u.s. whites. obama is not constitutionally constructed to acknowledge that the idea of superhuman black men who bulk up to run through bullets is a self-serving staple of u.s. racism, not an isolated invention of the darren wilsons. What the barack obamas can never bring themselves to say is that the collective white-supremacist u.s. lacks the will to change the Fergusons--Staten Islands--Beavercreeks -- of the u.s. -- the ONLY path to survival of the peoples ofbthe planet and of the planet itself! the u.s. collectively wallows in feel-goodism built on the ginormous pretense of belief in unicorns. Martin Luther King had hope, that was rooted in years of study and struggle, not in looking the other way. Hope is not magical. Hope is earned.
