Presidential Pretender
Posted: Wed Jan 18, 2012 6:30 pm
What if there were a President who was shown to have reached his high level of "achievement" through false pretenses?
Consider: Barak Hussein "Barry" Obama has been going through life availing himself of untold preferences, benefits, and - yes, even riches by pretending to be a "Black Man." Without this pretense, one suspects he would be nothing more than a highly-respected history teacher somewhere in urban Chicago.
You see, "Black Man" is a term that refers to a dark-skinned (f/k/a, "Negro") American who is the lineal descendant of at least one black African slave.
Black Men have much in common. In addition to being descended from slaves, they have a family and cultural history of being oppressed and repressed. Their ancestors started with less than nothing, they suffered discrimination, persecution, and indignities that are almost unimaginable today. Turned away from restaurants and other public accommodations, forced to sit in the back of the bus, couldn't drink from the white man's water fountain or use the same toilet facilities...the list of indignities goes on and on. Lived in terrible neighborhoods, went to sub-standard schools, assumed to be incapable of meeting even the most ordinary of challenges.
But NONE of this applies to Barry. He has no ancestors who were American slaves (or any other kind of slaves, for that matter). His father and paternal family were highly educated and accomplished - his father came here by choice, on a plane. His mother was white. Barry never experienced any significant discrimination; on the contrary, he was something of a novelty in most of his homes and schools, and we treated well because of it.
He ended up living in an urban ghetto (very briefly) because he chose to do so. He had to learn to learn "Ebonics" as though it were a second language. How else would he pick it up? He never lived anywhere near any African Americans. He even had to learn how to play basketball, and did so because he knew it was expected.
What about his education? Without his "Black Costume" he never would have gotten into Columbia, and certainly not Harvard Law. He has declined to release any of his academic records, but to get into Columbia as a transfer student is virtually impossible. They allow only a handful of in-transfers every year, and they invariably have the highest academics - which Barry apparently did not have. If he had not been able to take advantage of the pretense of being "Black," he couldn't have gotten a job as a janitor at Columbia, let alone come in as an upper classman.
When he moved to Chicago to don the glorious mantle of "Community Activist," he never could have pulled it off without his Black Costume. He had NOTHING in common with his constituents except the color of his skin. He was no more an "African American" than was Teresa Heinz Kerry (who actually WAS born in Africa). Had the Chicagoans who elected him known that he was NOT a Black Man, he never would have won his first election - which was based on a lie.
Had he not had the Black Costume, he never would have been permitted to give that rousing speech at the 2004 Democrat Convention, and it is almost too obvious to say that if had not had the Black Costume in 2008, his candidacy for President in 2008 would have been recognized as the Joke that it actually was.
I don't hate our Beloved President, and frankly, I think he is capable of doing a fine job despite his fraudulent previous life. His background is analogous to other politicians who have been successful because of family wealth (Kennedy), political connections, and what-have-you. It is not really relevant.
But I think he has been a horrible president because his unreal personal biography has led him to patently false conclusions about American economics, financial success, socialism vs. capitalism, and so forth. I fervently hope that we - the American people - can retire him at the first opportunity, so that he can pursue whatever foolishness or opportunities are available to him. Hell, maybe Hillary will appoint him to the Supreme Court.
But one should not forget that ethnically and culturally he is a complete fraud. He is not now, and he has never been, the Black Man that he pretends to be.
