So-called Negro leaders are at it again. This time, the beef is about who was appointed and who was not appointed to President Barack Obama’s second term cabinet.
Half of the self
appointed so-called leaders are upset because most persons recently
hired by Obama are white men. The others are mad because they feel that
anyone that says anything, right or wrong, about the president’s
decisions are traitors to their race.
The many “teachers and
preachers” claiming to lead and represent us don’t have a clue about
what the president of the United States is, what the president does and
what he is supposed to do.
The main thing the president is supposed
to do is create and/or maintain a domestic and worldwide environment
where rich white folk can continue to make money.
The first day that
Barack Obama says that he is a black man who loves black and African
people and he will put black people’s needs and desires first, instead
of the U.S. and world financial, industrial and military complex, he
will be replaced as president.
He might even be hurt for making such a statement.
Negro
leaders get it right. Obama doesn’t consult you when he makes Cabinet
appointments but I imagine he does consult with white government
advisors, white political advisors, white Wall Street bankers and white
friends.
Don’t read this column and think it is a swipe at the president. Obama is what he is. When he is in the Oval Office, he is the president for everybody and not the “Black President.”
If
you want to know who Obama will help the most while serving as
president this second term, just figure out who contributed the most
money — not votes — to his campaign. White individuals and white
businesses contributed more to his re-election and those same people
will benefit more from his presidential actions and decisions.
But
while the Negro leaders are hating one another and crying about his
recent appointments, they should be urging African Americans to do for
themselves.
If you don’t know what is going on, let The Gantt Report explain.
What black people have right now in the United States is new neo-colonialism.
Neo-colonialism
in the black community is the geopolitical practice of using
capitalism, business globalization and cultural imperialism to control
the black community in lieu of either direct, police, control or
indirect, political, control.
The term “neo-colonialism” was coined
by the Ghanaian politician Kwame Nkrumah to describe the socio-economic
and political control that can be exercised economically, linguistically
and culturally, whereby promotion of the culture, ideas, activities and
behavior of the office of the president and the power-brokers of the
United States facilitates the cultural, educational and social ideology
and philosophy of the colonized black communities.
This opens the
black community’s politics and economies to the beast bankers and
multinational corporations of the neo-colonial political operatives.
I don’t care who sleeps in the White House. Beast bankers run America and the world.
President
Obama is doing as good a job, or better, than previous presidents, but
don’t even dream about the president being a 21st century “Django” who
will punish evil people. Oppressed and exploited black people have to
create their own jobs and stop begging for political appointments.
Black American communities are dominated by whites.
More
often than not, they own the stores, they own the housing, they decide
the practiced religions, they hold many of the political offices and
they control the police that control black streets.
One day we will
figure out that we need a nationalistic approach to solve economic,
employment, political and other black community issues.
For the time being, stay out of the ridiculous fight going on between Uncle Tom and Aunt Jemima.
You
can support President Obama if you desire but support yourself more by
fighting neo-colonialism in your city and your community.
