There are those in this world who simply have no
business offering to our younger generations, advice. One of those is Moochelle Obama, ‘MO’, who this
past Sunday was invited to impart upon the graduating class of 2020 some words
of wisdom which consisted of her telling those listening to never let anyone
tell them that they are “too angry” in the wake of the ‘Chinese virus’ pandemic
and, of course, the death of George Floyd. Some great advice coming from one whose spouse
accomplished, as president, nothing but to the set race relations in this
country over back 150 years!
And so, it was during her pointless ‘address’ that ‘MO’
said, “Over these past couple of months our foundation has been shaken — not
just by a pandemic that stole too many of our loved ones, upended our daily
lives, and sent tens of millions into unemployment, but also by the rumbling of
the age-old fault lines that our country was built on: the lines of race and
power that are now, once again, so nakedly exposed for all of us to grapple
with.” Actually, our foundation was
shaken during the time her husband was doing his best to “fundamentally
transform” our country.
Anyway, ‘MO’ then went on to say, “For those of you
who feel invisible: Please know that your story matters.” She said, “Your ideas matter. Your
experiences matter. Your vision for what our world can and should be matters.
So, don’t ever, ever let anyone tell you that you’re too angry, or that you
‘should keep your mouth shut.’ There will always be those who want to keep you
silent, to have you be seen but not heard, or maybe they don’t even want to see
you at all. But those people don’t know your story, and if you listen to them,
then nothing will ever change.”
And of course ‘MO’ also felt it as being necessary
to bring up Martin Luther King, and it was in so doing that she said, “Dr. King
was angry. Sojourner Truth was angry. Lucretia Mott, César Chávez, the folks at
Stonewall — they were all angry.” And it
was from there that ‘MO’ added, “But those folks were also driven by
compassion, by principle — by hope. And so they took advantage of whatever
resources they had in their own time — thundering from the pulpit and the
convention floor, penning letters from a jail cell, standing up for their
rights in the face of police violence.”
‘MO’ delivered her ‘words of wisdom’ as part of
YouTube’s Dear Class of 2020, which was originally scheduled to stream on
Saturday but was postponed due to yet another memorial service for George Floyd
in Raeford, NC. In addition to ‘MO’, the
event also featured ‘BO’, along with such Hollyweird luminaries as Lady Gaga,
Lizzo, Taylor Swift, Jennifer Lopez, and Justin Timberlake. Stellar examples all with nary a single brain
cell between them. Exactly who are these
people to be lecturing the rest of us on anything? None of them are particularly bright, and yet
we’re expected to listen.
Frankly, I’ve never been able to figure out why it
is that blacks are so angry. Is it because
so many of them squander the free education they are provided? Or because many choose to do drugs, join gangs,
adopt mannerisms and behavior of rap thugs or chose to have children out of
wedlock? Or might it be because many
have come to realize that they’ve fallen into the trap laid for them by
President Johnson and the Democrats 50+ years ago without any sort of a
fight. And might they now realize where it
is that they would be had they only been smart enough to avoid it?
I’ve never really understood why it is that the
black community remains so infatuated with both ‘BO’ and ‘MO’. What exactly did they do, or have done, for
the black community? Was the black
community left better off after ‘BO’ left office than it was before he arrived
in office? And might when we expect ‘BO’
and ‘MO’ to call for the black community to come together as a family? Or to talk about the importance of Fatherhood?
Of education? Or of being employed? Or of religion? Is it really only about skin color? Are blacks all really as shallow as ‘BO’ and
‘MO’ appear to be?
‘MO’ remains infatuated with the sound of her own
voice and yet when she and ‘BO’ had the opportunity to do some real good, as is
usually the case with Democrats, it was politics that ruled the day over
actually doing something to genuinely benefit those in the black community which,
when you think about it, is really pretty sad.
These two should be shunned instead of revered. As has been pointed out before, it’s
President Trump who has done more for the black community in just three plus
years than ‘BO’ and ‘MO’ did in eight.
And yet we’re supposed to care about what they say.
Hate and anger are emotional responses. Both are
illogical and antithetical to constructive thinking. Both are detrimental to constructive
resolution in any situation. Further, they are solely the responsibility to the
individual harboring them, not those who they are directed against. For someone to encourage these emotions in
others shows small mindedness and evil intent unworthy of public respect. Such a small minded person shows the evil
that lurks within, but oddly enough when such behavior is seem coming from ‘BO’
and ‘MO’ it just seems to be overlooked.
Blacks should be angry, very angry, at Democrats. Frankly I’ve never really understood this blind allegiance that blacks have for a party that, in one way or another for well over 150 years, has essentially maintained them in one form of slavery or another. Granted the Democrat plantation of today differs greatly from plantations of the past, but in many ways it’s even more insidious. And it’s pathetic that we have someone like ‘BO’ and ‘MO’ actually lying to blacks just to string them along and all in the name of politics. We keep hoping blacks will someday wake up.
