All generalizations are wrong, even this one – Alexander Dumas.

Forget about white girls and by extension, white women. Like every generation of white girls before them, they like their black men rough, edgy and if necessarily, ghetto.

It is the Bill Kristols of this white America that Obama failed.

White men want their black men to be articulate, clean, non-threatening and totally disavowed from anything connected with Africa .

At first, Obama appeared to be all that. When given a podium and a microphone, he crooned like Marvin Gaye meets Martin Luther King Jr. meet Luther Vandross meet Barry White.

When not bowling, he puts on dark suits not picked up from Walmart rack. He appeared immaculate, like a fresh mint model that walked off the pages of GQ.

When nudged about race, he talked about unifying us all in one happy Hakuna Matata family.  For him, race was not an issue.

When asked about Africa, he said Africa would have to look inwards and pick itself up. His only affection to Africa was his father who was buried there. The White man could live with that.

That was before the first debate, when white men discovered to their horror that Hillary could spit out figures and sound bits faster than an auctioneer. At subsequent debates, white men saw that Hillary has long nails and is not afraid to dig them into Obama’s flesh. White men finally walked away when they saw Obama leave his back unprotected and Hillary jammed in her two-edged knife, pushed in and twisted anti-clockwise. It reminded White men of what they pass through in the hands of their women. They hated Obama for that reminder.

That was before the picture of him in a Somali tribal attire emerged. Where Obama, a future leader of the free world, stood in front of a Somali peasant, listening to what the elderly man was saying instead of barking orders to him like the future commander of the greatest military in the history of mankind should be doing. How dare he listen to a compatriot of those who shut down the great Apache helicopter?

That was before anyone heard what Rev. Jeremiah Wright, his pastor and spiritual adviser, had to say about America - America, the beautiful - America , the holiness - America , the last hope for mankind. How could that ordinary ex-Marine turned Pastor tell America things nobody had dared to say since Martin Luther King Jr. How dare he mention that American guns in American hands kill more people round the world than any other gun in any other hand? What gave him the audacity? Was it because he had killed for America ?

That was before liberation theology of Obama’s Trinity Church was linked to Africa - Africa, the hopeless continent - Africa where rogues like Mugabe reign - Africa where African-Americans must never be encouraged to see as home but rather as a dungeon from which the generous white man brought them out. How dare Obama join a church that look up to Africa ? What is next?  Would they demand reparation for slavery?

For all these atrocities, Obama reminded the white man of the qualities of a good black man he lacked for which he was initially given a pass.

A good black man must have nothing but ex-prep-school friends. No weather man. No truck drivers. No street cleaners. No gangster. He is allowed to hug Oprah but not to jump on her couch.

A good black man must not attend the Million Man March. Not with that devil called Louis Farrakhan. A good black man must abide by the restraining order that says always stay 10 miles away from the likes of Louis Farrakhan, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and other failed leaders of their kind – victimhood advocates.

A good black man must also marry a beautiful white blonde. Not Sojourner Truth wannabe. He needs a blonde who will help pick out his tie every morning. One who knows how to spend his money properly, on bonds and shares and not blings and bongs. He needs a blonde who can host a party without offering guest collard green, seasoned cabbage, pork chop and fried chicken wings. He needs a blonde who may not know the words of the national anthem but surely knows how to say she has been proud of the flag of the United States since the time there were only two states in the union.

A good black man must know what all minorities everywhere know: that “too much insincerity is fatal and too little of it dangerous.” Come on now. That is no brainer.

Obama as it turned out is not a good black man. He has failed the white man’s test and as such, must now be consigned to that lonely dust bin of history where all failed black men rest their bones.

In his book, Dreams From my Father, Obama wrote: “I learned to slip back and forth between my black and white worlds. One of those tricks I had learned: People were satisfied so long as you were courteous and smiled and made no sudden moves. They were more than satisfied; they were relieved — such a pleasant surprise to find a well-mannered young black man who didn’t seem angry all the time.”

Welcome home, bro.

# 3 Why are you guys rooting for Obama? Are his views that much different from Clinton's? Seems like a lot of you have been driven mad by race. Truth be told, as someone living in the States, either Obama, Hillary or Mccain would be fine by me. Posted by Afeni| 01.05.2008 07:34

# 5 Oh please! Get a life, Rudolf! Your fixation on this Obama “fairy tale” (a la Bill Clinton) is definitely sending you off your rocker. One begins to wonder when you will rouse from your reverie to realize that neither Obama nor any liberal "DEMONCRAT" for that matter, is fit to lead this great nation. Thanks to the living God and the “right brained” racist called Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s chickens are indeed coming home to roost! Posted by hisambassador| 01.05.2008 12:40

Thanks to the living God and the “right brained” racist called Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s chickens are indeed coming home to roost! If Bush can lead America, I don't see any reason why Obama can't. As an honest person, I seriously don't believe ANY of the current Presidential candidates (except for Ron Paul) can do a worse job than President Bush in either the handling of the economy or the foreign policy mess. Liberal democrat would have spent the money that is being wasted rebuilding infrastructure of people that hate America on health care. Right now, if you were to fall sick, and you are uninsured, you could lose your house (assuming you have one) just trying to pay the bills. For those who don't know, in an American hospital, they rely solely on tricks to rob ill patients of every penny they have. Every thing from the socks they put on your feet while you are unconscious (as a result of their anesthetics) to your blanket they switch every 10 minutes because it is "cold" (even though you didn't ask them to change it) is charged as a separate item. At the end of the day, what the doctor told you would cost $2,000 ends up costing $11,000. Simply because he didn't bother to mention that the 2k was his fee alone. The anathesiologist, nurses, office staff, and some stranger than stopped by for a split second to ask if you were alright (his fee is $400) all charge exorbitant fees that they don't list before the operation. The way the American hospitals work is criminal. Posted by Afeni| 01.05.2008 13:56

Truth be told, as someone living in the States, either Obama, Hillary or Mccain would be fine by me. You started off right by asking questions, but you went further to show ignorance and reckless arrogance by arrogating unto yourself some knowledge you do not have. It is foolish to assert in that blanket manner, that Obama's race is what drives those who support him - and to a point of madness, according to you. Studying you thus far on this Forum, you must be some young kid who simply doesn't know how to communicate with others respectfully, but that's your headache. What you know is, even if Obama and Hillary preach similar themes on policy issues, an avalanche in approach to implementing and running these policies exist between them. Still, you have a right to your choice. But for somebody who claims to be resident in the United States, you exhibit a shocking ignorance of American issues. Finally, pick up some good manners and communicating skills. You need it - badly. Auspicious. Posted by Auspicious| 01.05.2008 15:18

# 9 Afeni & Paradisevog, Just thank God for the privilege of living in the greatest country on earth and quit whining. Since you seem to be sold on the socialized medicine mirage Obama and his fellow travelers are promising, why not relocate to the Soviet Union (Oops, that one is now history!), Cuba or North Korea, where it has already been implemented? On a final note, if you think “the way American hospitals work is criminal," try Nigerian hospitals! Posted by hisambassador| 01.05.2008 15:51

On a final note, if you think “the way American hospitals work is criminal," try Nigerian hospitals! Give Americans what the French and Canadians are having. If that is socialized medicine (which it is), so be it. And Cuba, despite being a third world country, has one of the longest life-expectancy in the world. And I have been to several Nigerian hospitals, and I find nothing wrong with them (except for the fact that they tend to be empty because their cost are out of reach of the common man).
