To Be or Not To Be: Black, Obama, USA

By Eddie Griffin

Friday, March 14, 2008

That’s all ABC News sees is race, race, race, and demographics of the irrelevant kind. I dare them impose their race ideation upon my conscious or subconscious. Just let me judge by the content of a man or woman’s character as to who will be the best Commander-in-Chief.

Suddenly, they use the word “black” as if to invoke shame, inferiority, and the counter feeling of superiority. Why is ABC News doing that?

It is image manipulation and opinion-building in the worse, low-life sort, playing on racism and public prejudices. Behold the world- Divide and Conquer.

To be or not to be, that is the question. Barack Obama has continually said that the 2008 presidential campaign is not about race. The diverse voting support confirms what he claims, especially as exemplified in Iowa. But let him win Mississippi, a state noted for racism, with black support of 90%, and suddenly the media plays up the black vote.

How deceptive of ABC News, and its associates in the media for playing the Race Card, and putting the shame of it back on the victim. Spin the Donkey, I’ll say, right on his tail.

  1. I agree they want it to be about race so bad that they are willing to stoop to any level to do just that.


    The only way to stop Obama is to get white males to see him as something bad. I hope it back fire.

  2. I hate to sprout on about yet another conspiracy theory....but, it seems obvious that ABC news is trying to scare Obama's white supporters away by inserting race back into the picture. It's a way to make his white supporters question their support by using the same tried and true divide and conquer tactics you mention.

  3. Count me out of voting for Billary in the fall. I WILL vote, but just in the other races.

    These people have really hurt me. They have agreed to cast off Black people to win. They want all of Barack's new energy voters, but they won't come out in November for Billary.


    I still think Barack can win. People forget he is up in NC (112 delegates).

    While I don't think they should get a do-over, I think he does better in FL and Michigan that he would've in January.
