Barack Obama, and the “Lawrence Summers Effect”
Barack Obama's ascendancy to the pedestal of history is widely regarded as a sobering call for an acknowledgment that racial-progress is all-but-finalized. Nevertheless, one must be candid about the politics at play, and the medium through which such a high-premium seat at the table of imperialism is attained. Within the last few months, Sen. Obama has – consciously or subconsciously - informed his Black, Brown and Red supporters that he intends to be nonspecific in dealing with their concerns -- if at all their concerns would be dealt with. In his quest for a "United" America, Obama is pushing the lid on Black and Brown patience. Most Blacks don't see any benefit from a collective economic, social, cultural or educational uplift. They live in a society where Iraqi lives are openly deemed unequal to that of American lives.
