obama, dont be a coward

i should first start out with apologizing for abandoning my baby, my blog. boy, its been a hot minute. but with the recent events i had to let it flow.

one thing that has become apparent to me is that a lot of white people have no idea what people of color (black people) in particular are going through. its also apparent that many americans are clueless about us foreign policy.

i know in politics you have to do some posturing. but damn 'bama! im dissapointed that he did not try to stand up for some of the things his pastor was talking about. sure, it might be difficult to talk about how the government is responsible for infiltrating drugs into the black community, but he could have talked about Hiroshima. i just feel like the truth is the enemy right now in america. hence colbert and his whole truthiness bit. white people aint ready for the truth, plain and simple.

so i will start with a widely circulated article quoting reverend Wright:

"We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye," Rev. Wright said in a sermon on Sept. 16, 2001.

"We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost," he told his congregation.

1. did the united states bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki? YES, killing 220,000 people combined!

2. are the deaths from Hiroshima and Nagasaki more than the deaths of 9/11? YES

i happen to agree with the Rev. that many americans werent loosing sleep when the Japanese were killed.

3. has america supported state sponsored terrorism against the Palestinians? YES South Africa? YES

the first international relations class i took in college was on us foreign policy. i could hardly believe what i was reading. all these years i was brainwashed in high school with random foolishness. its interesting when i read some of the comments about Rev. Wright. do people really not know about us foreign policy? the united states has fiddled in many different countries influencing elections, killing up and coming leaders, supporting coups. all with the hopes of creating favorable conditions for them.

in this day and age you should second guess everything that is said on the news or in the newspaper.

its as if the internet does not exist. people arent using their brains because cnn and fox told them not to use it today. give me a break.
