Implied contempt fits

A two-term presidency spent on running away from Black America.
The stain on Barack Obama’s record historically will be that he used the race issue as an attribute to get elected – and then did his best to forget about it.
His recent remark about the events in Baltimore, referring to “thugs and criminals,” on the face of it is of course true on some level. Some of the black rage manifested itself in criminal acts. And he did question the police actions. But his words seem narrowly designed to show his indignation and pretty much leave it there.
In the end, this president is a perfect reflection of the mainstream media, à la CNN.
It is a true shame that Obama will leave office knowing that Lyndon B. Johnson, a white man from very conservative Texas did more for black people half a century ago than the much advertised first election of a black man to the Oval Office.

Professor Cornel West has been saying the same thing for a long time. Being African-American, of course, no one arguably influential listens to him. Which, in itself, goes to prove Richter's, West's and my point.
The moral? — Barack Obama proved that a black “guy” can be just as murderously useless as any of his plutocratic white predecessors
The Promised Land — of equal opportunity assness — is here.
Hillary Clinton is next in line for an identical proof of inutility.
What a country.
