This week is a very media-fied week for BlackPerspective.net
Sunday we were in Black Enterprize
Thursday, your boy Yobachi will be interviewed through the Black Talk Radio network on blog talk, about the forgotten Jena 6 story; which is an on going situation.

And yesterday I was one of the featured commentators in a CNN article. Apparently the author while googling the issue came across my January article entitled Why a Barack Obama Presidency May Be More Bad Than Good For Black People. He called me up a couple of weeks ago and did a quick interview with me. He quoted me from both the article and the interview.
We’re 2 for 2 this week on an interviewer getting and writing to the essence of my point. I like what he emphasized on my part considering the space he gave me, and I like the piece overall. It did a good job of tying together commentary on the question, and putting forth some examination.

The CNN Article
Please read below before commenting about my post and comments in the article:
If you are outraged that I exercise my ability to think, and that I would dare question the Messianic ascension to the presidency of Jesus Barack Obama; whatever stupid thing you’re going to say has already been said here. Please find your dumb, thoughtless, ignorant, non-reading comprehending, red herring, beside the point argument and read where I’ve already replied.
In most cases I’ve already addressed the issue within the post itself; but being that most people lack either reading comprehensions skills, or the intellectual honesty to admit a point that goes against their preconceived notion; you all reveal in repeatting things I’ve said, or trying to challenge me on things that I’ve thoroughly addressed; all while ignoring the point.
Exhibit A. For the upteenth time since I posted this article here and else where since January, another lame brain says to me yesterday that but but but, Obama being president will be an inspiring light to young Black people, huh, what about that:
And I quote from my article, as it has been from day one:
“With all above said, on the counter balance side, the lighter weight side that would be though, we must acknowledge the positive in a possible win. An Obama presidency can provide a great source of inspiration for many a Black youth to strive. Further, it could provide some marginal shifts in overall attitudes towards race equality.”
THANK YOU FOR READING!
Just because A is a positive, that does not make it outweigh all negatives, and even a mediocre analysis of anything requires taking all factors (or as many as possible) into account. But I explain this thoroughly in the post. If you didn’t read their, you’re not going to read it hear, so no point in me wasting the time and energy.
Bottom line is that you people will not drag me down into your brainless, thoughtless refusal to even examine a situation, and refusal to look forward towards all foreseeable consequence; in favor of some emotion driven fantasy about inspiration, post-racial, and blind faith in nothingness.
So, if you have any new and thoughtful Discussion points; please comment. If you’re just going to repeat the same ol tripe seen here, please spare me.
Black folks who are really down for the struggle care about the overall actual advance of Black people, not empty symbolic points of inspiration. The former is the discussion that Black folks should be having.
