further proof that President Barack H. Obama is a PUPPET for the WHITE ELITE and is deliberately engaging in a CONSPIRACY to maintain global white supremacy (racism) throughout AmeriKKKa & the world.

Obama made these statements in 1995 while promoting his book “Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance.”

20 years later, racism has only worsened in this country, yet, Obama — in his role as the PRESIDENT of the United States of America — continues to downplay the realities of white racism and say that he can’t do anything about institutional and systemic racism because he’s not just a president for black people, but he’s the president for “ALL PEOPLE.” BULLSHIT! [And why is it that Bernie Sanders can talk about it but Obama can’t? POLITICS!!!]

I’m so disgusted with this man. He symbolized hope for this country and so many bought into his propaganda, but he turned out to be nothing more than a puppet and a disgrace!

“Harvard’s role in this struggle for racial justice proceeded unabated into the 1960s as more African American students attended the Law School…One of the great successes of these early pioneers was their decision to press Harvard Law School to hire black faculty. Derek Bok, who was the Law School dean at the time and who later became president of Harvard University, accepted the students’ demands; one of the Harvard Black Law Students Association (HBLSA) leaders, Robert Bell (who is now the Chief Judge of the Maryland Court of Appeals), was allowed to meet with Professor Derrick Bell, then teaching at the University of Southern California, and offer him a position. In 1969, he became the first African American member of the Harvard Law School faculty. Harvard students’ ability to translate a critical mass of black law students into its first African American faculty member was a celebration to behold.”

“Critical race theory sprang up in the mid-1970s, as a number of lawyers, activists, and legal scholars across the country realized, more or less simultaneously, that the heady advances of the civil rights era of the 1960s had stalled and, in many respects, were being rolled back. Realizing that new theories and strategies were needed to combat the subtler forms of racism that were gaining ground, early writers such as Derrick Bell, Alan Freeman, and Richard Delgado put their minds to the task. They were soon joined by others, and the group held its first conference at a convent outside Madison, Wisconsin, in the summer of 1989. Further conferences and meetings took place. Some were closed working sessions at which the group threshed out internal problems and struggled to clarify central issues, which others were public, multi-day affairs with panels, plenary sessions, keynote speakers, and a broad representation of students, activists, and scholars from a wide variety of disciplines.”

“Nationalists are apt to describe themselves as a nation within a nation and to hold that the loyalty and identification of black people, for example, should lie with that community and only secondarily with the United States.”

“Unlike some academic disciplines, critical race theory contains an activist dimension. It not only tries to understand our social situation, but to chance it; it sets out not only to ascertain how society organizes itself along racial lines and hierarchies, but to transform it for the better.”

“Critical race theory not only dares to treat race as central to the law and policy of the United States, it dares to look beyond the popular belief that getting rid of racism means simply getting rid of ignorance, or encouraging everyone to ‘get along.'”

watch President Barack Obama discuss RACE and RACISM in AMERIKKKA with BET: The murder of unarmed black men like Eric Garner “gives us an opportunity…to finally have the kind of conversation that’s been a long time coming.”

The transcript can be read here: “Transcript: BET’s Exclusive Interview with President Obama.” BET.com. December 12, 2014. http://www.bet.com/news/national/2014/12/12/transcript-bet-s-exclusive-interview-with-president-obama.html.

“In dealing with something ‘as deeply rooted as racism or bias in any society, you’ve got to have vigilance but you have to recognize that it’s going to take some time and you just have to be steady so that you don’t give up when you don’t get all the way there,’ Obama said.”

It looks like President Barack Hussein Obama is finally ready to have more of an open & honest dialogue about the issue of race and racism in our majority white society. On the day of Obama’s second inauguration, I posted that he would not get through his second term without addressing and helping eradicate this problem. Well now, it’s actually beginning to happen! A few days ago, Obama gave what has been described by the Associated Press as “his most candid interview on race” with BET, which aired last night. I haven’t had the opportunity to watch the interview yet, but timing of this all is not accidental. Things are going to get very interesting from here on out…

“The great irony of our time is that in the age of Obama the grand Black prophetic tradition is weak and feeble. Obama’s Black face of the American empire has made it more difficult for Black courageous and radical voices to bring critique to bear on the U.S. empire. On the empirical or lived level of Black experience, Black people have suffered more in this age than in the recent past. Empirical indices of infant mortality rates, mass incarceration rates, mass unemployment and dramatic declines in household wealth reveal this sad reality. How do we account for this irony? It goes far beyond the individual figure of President Obama himself, though he is complicit; he is a symptom, not a primary cause. Although he is a symbol for some of either a postracial condition or incredible Black progress, his presidency conceals the escalating levels of social misery in poor and Black America.” — Cornel West
