Questioning the Blackness of Barack Hussein Obama

"The inescapable but deliberately ignored irony about Barack Obama being installed as this nation’s first so-called black president is that being Black in ‘America’ has in reality always meant so much more than mere color pigmentation," begins — To Be Black & Head of the U.S Empire: A Contradiction in Terms.

Says the author, "Those who choose to wrap themselves in the security blanket of the supposed wonderfulness of Obama’s so-called Blackness while ignoring the ongoing horrors that this person supports, are deeply complicitous in perpetrating the misery that this empire is heaping upon Black, White, Brown, Red, and Yellow peoples both inside and outside of its physical borders." (And inside and outside the womb, I might add.)

(As noted earlier on these pages, the woman who was "by far the leading black figure on the libertarian old right" was also actively opposed to "the idea that the only notable difference was skin color" — Zora Neale Hurston, Segregationist.")
