What If Obama Had Not Been Elected In 2008? - A Black Community Perspective



Black Community Permanent Issue 
Actual Result In The Black Progressive Press With Obama At The Helm
What The Obama Fist Bump Black Press Would Have Been Saying


Black Unemployment Rate-15.1% Three Years Into The Term Of President Obama
Various Obama Fist Bump Black Press operatives sold the"promising look"of the October2011employment report.With the Black unemployment rate having fell to15.1%-things are looking promising for the Black community under Obama's leadership.  We just need to help him fight the Republicans and get the jobs bill passed.  Though the bill only promises 2 million jobs created - the 4 million unemployed Blacks and the 17 million unemployed Americans in total - along with the aggregate 25 million people who are working part time but looking for a full time job - they will take these 2 million jobs as something more than what the GOP has offered and proudly elect Obama back into office, thanking him for all that he has done for them. 
"The Black unemployment rate for October 2011 is 15.1%.  Nearly twice as high as the White unemployment rate of 8%.  Had Obama been elected - the Black unemployment rate would have been made EQUAL.  Brought down to the White unemployment rate of 5.4% because after the Obama created economic boom - America would be too prosperous to worry about racial discrimination in hiring."

Securing The Promise Of High Quality Education For Black Students Through The Public School Institutions That Favorable People Now Control
Majority Black School Systems That Are In The News As Hotbeds Of Academic and/or Administrative Problems:

  • Philadelphia
  • Atlanta
  • Clayton County GA
  • Kansas City
  • Rochester NY
  • Memphis
  • New Orleans
  • Detroit
Despite this fact the Black Press which has the tendency to promote the "bad about their enemies" and scrape up the "good about their friends" seemingly always move away from a position of strict protection of Black kids' interests and always take the fighting position against their old enemies - even if they have walked away to allow the "Occupiers Of Black Leadership Positions" to run the system as they see fit.  When the enemy is present he is discriminating.  When the enemy is gone he is guilty of "benign neglect".

We were told that the victory was in the destruction of "No Child Left Behind" and the promotion of "Race To The Top".   

We where told that Charter Schools are a "Koch Brother's sponsored initiative" to take power out of the hands of Black people that run our schools.

The only thing that we have NOT been told is that the "Mission Accomplished" School Systems are sufficiently preparing our children to assume the rungs of control for our community 30 years from now.
The attacks on Black people by undercutting the education of our children continue.

Had Obama been elected he would have put "No Child Left Behind" to rest and come up with an alternative, more progressive strategy which finally broke the stranglehold that centuries of systematic racism had channeled Black people toward an unenviable dead end.

Obama is an academic.  He cares about our people.  The last minute spike that rose up to defeat him in the election was the hand of "White Supremacy" that did not one one Black man to rise up and take over this nation let a lone a sea of well educated Black people who have matriculated through a reformed educational system. 


Aggressively Advancing The Cause Of Civil Rights
The US Justice Department presently reflects the ideological priorities of the forces that are in control.

As it relates to the Black Community's interests - what they don't label as a "Civil Rights Violation" - despite the same deadly or bruised outcomes - are not considered "Civil Rights Violations".

As the base pushes for a ban on "Capital Punishment" because of its "injustice" - Black people who are just 13% of the population contribute 50% of the carcasses in the national homicide victim count.   THIS is not a "Civil Rights Violation" because the force with the power to define understand that most of the killers have come from the ecosystem which developed the consciousness which was compelled to kill a Black man.

With regards to enforcing illegal immigration - despite the numbers which show the impact on Black unskilled labor AND the talk about how NAFTA is sending jobs to Mexico the ideological bigotry that is encamped in this prevailing political sentiment among Black people support this administration's attacks on states which are imposing illegal immigration controls.  The REASON for the support by Blacks to "work against their own interests" is mostly because of the Republican state governments are the ones most aggressively pushing them.  As such standing against the enemy is more important than standing up for the rule of law in relation to immigration.
Had Obama been elected in 2008 he would have wiped away the Systematic Racism in the US Justice System.  The system that laid its foundation in SLAVERY and then changed to a more corrupt course during Jim Crow as Blacks needed to be channeled into the Prison Industrial Complex in order to fill the ranks of prison labor OR needed to be warehoused in jail because in their freedom they were increasing the competition for Whites in blue collar jobs.

Obama would have used the power of the Justice Department to finally put an end to:

  • The Attacks On Black Elected Power in Voter Suppression, Violations Of The Voting Rights Act As The 2010 US Census comes about
  • The higher rates of suspensions and disciplinary actions against Black males in public schools
  • Discrimination in commercial lending that prevents Blacks from growing wealth in home ownership and business

Promotion Of Universal Health Care
Despite all of the diversion toward the debate between "The Public Option" and "Universal Coverage" and what was actually delivered - the main indictment as to why the quality and quantity of care that is available to Black people is centrally focused on how the "Human Resource Development Institutions" that "favorable people" now control are MISALIGNED from the charge of developing our young people into the end state of "Professional Service Agents" that provide the value added services that our community needs to live at our desired state.

Instead the "Consumer Consciousness" that has been inculcated within the Black Community by the "Social Justice Advocates" have them taking control over our key institutions for the purposes of aggregation of their political power.

Centrally the Black Community has failed to enforce the "Embedded Confidence Men" to deliver upon the promises that the take over of these key institutions would bring to our benefit.

We have to accept the notion that the VALUE OF BLACK PEOPLE is a condition that must be maintained by the willingness of Black people to ENFORCE the integrity of our institutions and the demands of "return on investment" against those who received our investments.

By outsourcing our "care and feeding" to others we tacitly accept that - but for the "Equal Black Ballot" who's value is enforced by the government that is ultimately external to our community - we are but CONSUMERS and should be thankful to live within "The Belly Of The Beast" who ingests that which we ultimately consume.
The choice by America to repudiate Obama was the choice by America who cleaves to its historical bigotry.  

Health Care, as provided to all by a nation is the foundational evidence that every citizen is an equal citizen.

Had Obama been elected he would have set forth as his priority the mandate that we choose "People Over Profits".

He was seen in pre-election interviews telling of the need to eliminate private insurance companies as a necessary first step in providing affordable, government controlled health care to all.  These insurance middle-men receive their profits based on collecting more money and spending as little as possible.   With the "Single Payer" government in as the benevolent middle man and taxes being used as the funding source - the progressive taxation system which takes from the rich and the "social justice" health care system which ensures a more equal health care distribution system based on NEED instead of PROFIT would have allowed America to finally recognize the equal value of all of its citizens.

Africa And American Relations
After a few years of defending against the attacks on Obama as a "Kenyan" for the purposes of disqualifying him as a 'Real American' when Obama approved of the US Military's involvement in the International Coup in Libya under the guise of NATO - the Black Press showed their true colors.

The same operatives (or their predecessors) who attacked President Reagan for bombing Libya and killing one of Gaddahfi's offspring largely CHEERED as Obama engaged in the unsavory business which lead to the deaths of several of Gaddahfi's children and ultimate the man himself.

In showing their own "American consciousness" they turned this conflict into a "Victory For Obama" and "Obama's 3AM Phone Call ANSWERED" but could not bring themselves to see that by seeking to build up "Their Guy" as a strong warrior in their perpetual attempt at getting their right-wing enemy to acknowledge his strength................they actually have moved into a space where they abandoned their previous Anti-Imperialist / Anti-War / Pro-Due Process For War Criminal Stances which were the root of their Moral Authority over the Right Wing Warmonger which they have attacked for eternity.

They now have proven that it was only a matter of a "Commander In Chief That They Could Believe In" which would substantiate their support for Imperialism and their position today that is 180 degrees different from their heroine - Ella Baker who did not trust the motives of Italy in Africa during her day and would not be likely to believe that Italy had changed its tune in Africa just because they dropped bombs under the guise of NATO.

Had Obama been the first Black president this would have had tremendous symbolic affect on the various nations on the continent of Africa.   The overwhelming pride on their part and the presence of a fair and just administration would mean that strong bonds between the former "slave' and "slave master" would be forged to tip the balance on the historical imbalance between the two lands and begin the functional attainment of reparation via stronger ties with international trade that will lift up Africa and provide Black Americans with new opportunities. 



Throw All Of The Bullet Points Above Away For They Are TRANSACTIONAL

The key points that matters is that:  WITH OBAMA AS PRESIDENT:

  • The Forces Of "Speak Truth To Power" who were previously "Unbought and Unsold" were heard on an open microphone (and various opinion columns) openly debating the practicality of "Speaking Truth To Power NOW..........As It Might Hurt His Reelection Chances" By Troubling Him With The News Of How Black America Is Suffering Economically, Academically, And With Regards To Safety On Our Streets.
  • When It Came Time For The "Protectors Of Black Interests" To Show That There Is A Distinction Between OUR COMMUNITY INTERESTS And The Prevailing Political Operations Of The Black Community - They Were Unable To Show That There Is An INDEPENDENT BOARD OF GOVERNORS Of The Black Community By Demanding That The RETURN ON INVESTMENTS Of Decades Of Our "Equal Black Ballots" and our "Community Development Consciousness" as part of their fiduciary responsibilities
