Don't
you wish Barack could be as free as Michelle when talking to people
in public? Yesterday, she took down a lesbian protestor from the
group GetEqual while speaking at a private democratic fundraiser that
cost $500-$10,000 to attend. You can read it here. The self identified lesbian protestor
started yelling about the need for the President to sign an executive
order so she can have her” federal equality” before she dies.
Well,
whoopee fuckin' deal. Bitch I been wanting all my life to be equal in
my country of birth, get in line. Yelling at the President or his
wife would have gotten my black lesbian ass locked up in jail. You
just got escorted out which was nothing more than another example
of white privilege in America.
And
yes, white gays and lesbians are gifted from birth with white
privilege which drives this country and protects them from THEIR
OTHERNESS until they publicly declare it. My blackness is on full
display from jump (that's from the beginning in black-talk), which is
why I get arrested and you get sent home to mommy and daddy.
The
biggest problem that I have had in this post racial era of Barack
Obama, our first black president, is the incredible level of
disrespect hurled daily at the President and his family.
It's
not just the bigots, the avowed racists who hate everything black or
brown. It's the alleged supporters of the Obamas. So called
democrats and phoney liberals who feel that they can talk to and
treat the first family as any nigga down the block that they happened
to run across in the street.
It's
not racism, it's white privilege, the same demeanor that makes white
people think they can feel my hair or imitate me to my face because
they think it's funny and doesn't fit the normal in which they
surround themselves.
The
Obamas are approachable like no other First family in the history of
this nation. But that's only because white people have this idea
about how they think “we” are, apparently learned at the knee of
their parents, or various blaxploitation movies and TV non-reality
shows. Many white people figure all they have to do is learn how to
neck roll and talk Ebonics and we will join them in a chorus or two
of Kumbaya. Well, the Obamas ain't your regular next door
neighborhood niggas. This is America's first family and like it or
not, that exalted position demands respect from the rest of us.
It
got worse during the confrontation when said heckler, offering up her
own explanation of what happened, said FLOTUS “surprised her by
getting in her face.” Nigga behavior. Mess with a big black woman
and she will git in yo face and stomp yo ass, if you not careful.
Never mind that this woman, Michelle Obama is a wife, mother,
teacher lawyer and representative of the people of the United States
of America. She can write the book on how to influence and deal with
people in public. Reducing her to nigga level is flat out white
privileged driven bigotry.
A
private fundraiser was not the time or place to bring up signing
executive orders. Michelle Obama doesn't do that. Her husband does
and he wasn't there.
The
other thing is that Executive Orders can be allowed to expire, so
what difference for Obama to put into place a law that will expire as
soon as he leaves office. Given the way things move on Capital Hill,
it would probably expire before taking effect.
So
basically what was GetEqual doing there in the first place? It
certainly wasn't to accomplish anything concrete. Seems like it was
merely another chance to take a privilege laden pot shot at somebody
named Obama.
