&quo...These are some of my comments on the speech.<br /><br />"In the face of violence, they stood up and sat in with the moral force of nonviolence.” -- Obama <br /><br />Of course Obama does not believe in the moral force of nonviolence, but his purpose here is to establish the difference between what he and the power structure he represents consider to be responsible behavior and irresponsible behavior (self-defense). -- Makheru<br /><br />“And then, if we're honest with ourselves, we'll admit that during the course of 50 years, there were times when some of us, claiming to push for change, lost our way.” -- Obama <br /><br />That really could be a metaphor for his presidency--claiming to push for change and losing his way, except I don’t believe he ever had a way to lose. -- Makheru<br /><br />“The anguish of assassinations set off self-defeating riots.” -- Obama<br /><br />Our Esteemed Ancestor, Martin King dealt with this issue.<br /><br />“The riots are caused by nice, gentle, timid white moderates who are more concerned about order than justice. The policy-makers of the white society have caused the darkness: they created discrimination; they created slums; they perpetuate unemployment, ignorance, and poverty. It is incontestable and deplorable that Negroes have committed crimes, but they are derivative crimes. They are born of the greater crimes of white society.” -- MLK<br /><br />“Neither Rap Brown nor Stokely Carmichael created slavery, they did not create slums, they did not create unemployment or underemployment, they did not create segregated schools and they didn’t start a war in Vietnam.” -- MLK<br /><br />“Legitimate grievances against police brutality tipped into excuse- making for criminal behavior.” -- Obama<br /><br />As president he does not need legitimate grievances to engage in criminal behavior [Libya], but defending yourself, and rebelling against brutality is criminal behavior only in the eyes of a brute, or a smooth hegemonist.-- Makheru<br /><br />"Racial politics could cut both ways as the transformative message of unity and brotherhood was drowned out by the language of recrimination." --Obama <br /><br />“Recrimination” is a poor choice of words. We were not countering accusations. We were countering brutal oppression and assassinations. He’s lecturing us for defending ourselves, when as POTUS he often resolves his global conflicts via initiatory and retaliatory violence.-- Makheru<br /><br />"...as if we had no agency in our own liberation." -- Obama<br /><br />Of course Obama has never heard of COINTELPRO. Actually we had “agency in our own liberation,” but the FBI declared war on us and we lost that battle. -- Makherumakheru bradleynoreply@blogger.com
