Color Me Unimpressed

Am I the only person to wonder where the fuck Barack fucking Obama came from? He was only elected to the Senate in 2004. How many junior senators with about one year's experience have their party practically coming in their pants to put them forward as a presidential candidate? I don't know about you but I might be inclined to see if he could do the fucking job he was just elected to before deciding he earned the right to become Mr.Big.

Let's get this straight - if Obama was a white bloke with the same credentials no-one in his party would have given him a second look. He'd still be kissing party arse, sucking corporate dick for campaign contributions and waiting his turn. But some presentable black bloke shows up and it's suddenly "Yeah! Make way! Obama for President!" Clearly they're looking to move quickly, presumably before the fact that he's a useless wanker becomes evident, or at least before he needs to take a position on anything controversial.

What a fitting legacy to MLK - the US is so fawningly "color blind" that it is now just as willing to elect a President purely for being black as it is to acquit that murdering shitbag OJ for exactly the same reason.

It always humours (humors) me to hear middle class white people interviewed on American TV about Obama, "he's such a good speaker" you'd hear them fawn. As if it's so uncommon to see a black man on his hind legs and stringing a sentence together without beating his chest and going ugg. Nevermind what he stands for "look how he uses cutlery!"
He's just a man, black or not, it's whether he's a murdering psychopath like Bush that counts. Allegedly.
