New Black Panther Party Expresses Buyer’s Remorse Over Obama By Tad Cronn
Sometimes you don’t know whether to laugh or cry at the stupidity of people who voted for Barack Obama.
The New Black Panther Party, which has been one of the president’s favored street campaign units, has come out with an editorial in its newsletter lambasting Obama for being a huge disappointment.
“The black community is at large no better off than before he was in office. We are curious as to what his agenda is for Black people in America and if he even has one,” wrote Malik Zulu Shabazz, NBPP chairman. He cites the dismissal of voter intimidation charges in 2008 as one of the few things Obama’s done right.
In the editorial, Shabazz lists his past hopes for the Obama regime, then goes on to complain about how Obama has failed to deliver almost every single one of them. Chief among the complaints is that Obama has continued some of the Bush administration’s policies in the War on Terror (I’m sure Shabazz was hoping for a family reunion when the Gitmo boys got out) and failing to better the economic situation for blacks.
It’s that last point that seems to have been a pivotal part of Black Panthers’ awakening.
The newsletter’s editor, Chawn Kweli, wrote, “Mr. Obama’s policies have not corrected the economic troubles of America, they have gotten worse. The debt continues to expand (into the trillions), and the administration’s handling of international relations has hardened dialogue with foreign nations. Mr. Obama’s policies have been especially harsh to us the Black community. He bailed out Wall Street and the auto makers but kept us at the top of the unemployment ladder.”
OK, let’s have a quick show of hands. Who’s surprised by this news?
Shabazz seemed particularly stunned to realize exactly what he is to the Democratic Party.
“Black peoples are the whores and prostitutes of the Democratic Party, and mistreated mistress that is courted in the late of night, but left hanging when it is time for real change in the light of the post election day,” Shabazz wrote.
