For some strange reason, after having read and memorized dozens of scripts and parroted them on-camera as if the thoughts were coming right from their hearts, some Hollywood actors eventually utter a line truly coming from their minds. Inevitably, most of what they say is garbage of the worst kind. This was the case of Morgan Freeman.
A few days ago, the noted actor claimed that all of the dissatisfaction Tea Party members feel for Obama is because they are racists.[1] Apparently he didn’t know that, if one is to believe what recent opinion polls indicate, this dissatisfaction is exactly what a currently growing percent of the American population currently feel.
Proof that Mr. Freeman is nothing more than a high valued iPod, repeating over and over the tunes somebody implanted in his silicon memory, is that he didn’t realized that his assertion is an obvious manifestation of racism. This is particularly dishonest, because nobody has heard a Tea Party member calling other members “brothers” and “sisters.”
I understand that in some fraternal societies and religions members call themselves brothers and sisters. This is perfectly justified, because their fraternity is based on shared ideas or beliefs. But calling somebody you don’t know “brother” or “sister” just because he shares the same skin color as you, even if he/she is part of a flash mob targeting white people,[2] is racism of the worst type.
Evidently, it never crossed Freeman’s mind that, even though a minority of the people who hate Obama are white racists — racism is not a privilege of blacks, browns, yellows or greens — most of them do not like the guy in the White House because of the good job he is doing on behalf of his true masters: Wall Street bankers, oil magnates and CEOs of transnational corporations — also known as the military-industrial complex. Moreover, apparently Mr. Freeman is oblivious to the fact that some white Americans don’t like Obama for the same reason many black Americans don’t like Walter Williams, Clarence Thomas,[3] Bill Cosby, Thomas Sowell or Herman Cain: not because of the color of their skins but because of the content of their character.
But this is not the only reason why Mr. Freeman needs to hire a good scriptwriter as soon as possible. His assertion is a contradiction in terms, because contrary to the claims of many confused or brainwashed people, Mr. Obama is not black, much less African American.
If one is to believe the sycophantic mainstream press, we now have in the White House the first black president in the history of the United States. But this claim is highly disingenuous. Aside from the fact that Bill Clinton claimed that honor many years ago, and most African-American leaders accepted it at face value, Mr. Obama is not black.
Let me repeat it for the sake of clarity: Barack Hussein Obama (a.k.a. Barry Soetoro) is not black!
Though his father was black, his mother was Caucasian. Therefore, he is actually a mulatto. And I would bet that, at the bottom of his heart, he is not too happy about being called black. In most countries mulattos feel highly offended when somebody calls them blacks.
Actually, the U.S. is the only country in the world where a person who carries a single black gene in his body is called black. You don’t need to be a genius to realize that this is a racist concept created and used in a pejorative way by white racists. Unfortunately, most black Americans have made it theirs.
By the way, I am not the only one who affirms that Obama is not black. During his campaign some blacks criticized him for not being an “authentic” black, calling him “Barack the Magic Negro.” Another critic even questioned his right to run as a black candidate.[4]
Moreover, despite claims to the contrary, Mr. Obama is not African-American.
The qualification of African-American is applied to citizens of the United States who have origins in the black peoples of Africa. But not all American blacks feel comfortable with the name, among other things because, as black American scholar Nathan Huggins has pointed out,[5] the “identity” of black Africans is a fiction created by European whites. Actually, most so called “Africans” don’t feel themselves as belonging to a particular geographic area, mush less a continent, but to a particular tribe, like Ashanti, Watussi, Bambara, Dogon, Efik, etc. That perhaps explains why the Black Panthers rightly refused the denomination “African-American,” and preferred to call themselves blacks, as evidenced in their assertion “black is beautiful.”
In addition, the denomination “African-American” is not an ethnographic term but a political one. As many African-American militants have pointed out, it expresses pride in their African origins and solidarity with others of the African Diaspora, particularly the ones brought to America as slaves. As author Debra Dickerson contended, “Black, in our political and social reality, means those descended from West African slaves.”[6]
But Mr. Obama’s ancestors in Kenya were not brought to America as slaves. Actually, there is a remote possibility that some of his ancestors may have been among the blacks in Africa who enriched themselves by making some of their own kin slaves and selling them to the Portuguese and other Europeans. Most of these slaves were acquired through intertribal wars or kidnappings.[7]
It is highly revealing that Jesse Jackson, a secret agent of the Wall Street conspirators, played a key role in introducing the term “African-American”. It was quickly adopted and popularized by the CFR conspirators-controlled mainstream media. Consequently, it is not far-fetched to guess that the term “African-American” is just another divide-and-rule concoction of Wall Street bankers who, I presume, don’t care much for blacks.
By the way, I personally don’t see the point of being proud to be the descendants of slaves, and most blacks in Africa don’t see it either. A friend of mine who lived in Africa for several years told me that “African-Americans” are not welcomed there. The reason for this is because, contrary to American blacks, blacks in Africa see themselves as the proud descendants of free men.
This unconscious love of slavery of many “African-American” leaders perhaps explain their love for the white slave master just 90 miles South of the U.S. border. Year after year, Harry Belafonte, Danny Glover, Barbara Lee, Laura Richardson, Bobby Rush, Maxine Waters, Charles Rangel,[8] Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan and other prominent American Uncle Toms, travel to Cuba to show their love and affection for the white slave master. I have not heard, however, that any of them has asked to visit in their jails people like Dr. José Elías Bisset, who have been in and out of prison for many years just because he peacefully opposes the government, nor that they visited the grave of Orlando Zapata, who died in his prison cell after a long hunger strike in protest against a tyrannical government.
Apparently, these “African Americans” ignore that currently a great majority of dissidents in Cuba are black, and many of them are in Castro’s jails. Also, it seems that the American Uncle Toms never have tried to talk to many black Cubans in exile in the U.S. and ask them the reason why they risked their lives escaping from their country in an inner tube or makeshift raft. It is difficult to explain why, if Cuba is a paradise of racial equality, as some claim, almost 40 percent of the Cubans who escaped during the Mariel boatlift in 1980 were black. Even more difficult to explain is why the few “african Americans” who moved to Cuba in the 1960s to enjoy the marvels of a race-free society, soon after changed their minds and quietly moved back to the U.S.
Nevertheless, some prominent American blacks still continue giving their support to the Cuban white slave master, notable among them are Jesse Jackson, Maxine Waters and Al Sharpton. As their support for Castro in the Elián González[9] case demonstrated, by helping Castro to enforce his non-written fugitive slave clause these people were actually backing an Underground Railroad in reverse. The fact indicates that their distaste for slavery is not ethically, but politically motivated. [10]
In conclusion, claiming that somebody is a racist because do not agree with the policies of Mr. Obama, as Morgan Freeman stated, is as nonsensical as claiming that somebody was homophobic because he disagreed with the policies of Mr. Bush.[11] In both cases, what really mattered was not skin color or sexual preferences, but policies, and the policies Obama has implemented and is trying to implement are a continuation on steroids of the warmongering, anti-Constitutional policies of the CFR-controlled Bush and his neocon friends.
