The dream of Dr. Martin Luther King was that a day would come in America when his children would not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character. Well, we find ourselves today in an Obama nightmare, not in Dr. King's dream. President Barack Hussein Obama was both elected and reelected to the presidency because of his black skin pigmentation, not because of his character or horrible lack thereof.
He's been touted as our first African American president, when he is no such thing. He is biracial; his mother was a white woman from Kansas and his father was a communist from Kenya, who deserted his wife and child when Barack was two-years-old. Afterward, Barack's mother married a black Indonesian, who took them to live in Indonesia. Barack returned home to America and spent his teenage years living with his white maternal grandparents. He never lived in an African American home or in the African American community, which explains why he had to be educated about the African American community by African American clergymen when he became a community organizer in Chicago.
Now, to tell the real truth about President Obama's race is to run the risk of being condemned as a racist, because today's America doesn't want to wake up from the Obama nightmare and consciously begin to work together toward the fulfillment of Dr. King's dream. We prefer instead to pretend that we are making Dr. King's dream come true by denying that our president is as white as he is black, by covering his obvious lack of character with his skin color, by cowering to racial demagogues like Al Sharpton, and by giving space for rioting to the radicals of Black Lives Matter, never minding that protests conducted under the mantra of "White Lives Matter" would be readily and roundly condemned as racist.
How messed up is a country that believes the cure for white racism is black racism and that the remedy for minority oppression is majority oppression? As long as we keep insisting on counting colored beads we will never become a colored-blind society. Until we see people as people, not red, yellow, black, and white, we will never judge them properly on the bases of their character. Instead, we will continue to give a license to commit crimes to minorities, while condemning as racist any member of the majority who proposes the revoking of such licenses. In addition, we will continue to be lectured to on the subject of racism by a characterless president who was elected to the presidency because of his skin pigmentation; or, come this November, by a characterless president elected to the presidency because of her gender.
