Barack Obama might as well have called John McCain a “Nigga Hating Cracker”…

There we have it folks. McCain took the high road and came to Barack Obama’s defense when someone accused Obama of not being a patriotic American, an Arab, and a generally scary individual.

The next day what does Obama do? Why he goes on the offensive and quotes a line from the movie Malcolm X. Here is the context in which this line was used in the movie, and then go see how Obama uses it:

Malcolm X (as portrayed by Denzel Washington)

Malcolm X: I must emphasize at the out start that the Honorable Elijah Muhammad is not a politician. So I’m not here this afternoon as a Republican, nor as a Democrat; not as a Mason, nor as an Elk; not as a Protestant, nor a Catholic; not as a Christian, nor a Jew; not as a Baptist, nor a Methodist; in fact, not even as an American, because if I was an American, the problem that confronts our people today wouldn’t even exist.

So I have to stand here today as what I was when I was born: A black man.

Before there was any such thing as a Republican or a Democrat, we were black.

Before there was any such thing as a Mason or an Elk, we were black.

Before there was any such thing as a Jew or a Christian, we were black people!

In fact, before there was any such place as America, we were black!

And after America has long passed from the scene, there will still be black people.

I’m gonna tell you like it really is. Every election year these politicians are sent up here to pacify us! They’re sent here and setup here by the White Man!

This is what they do!

They send drugs in Harlem down here to pacify us!

They send alcohol down here to pacify us!

They send prostitution down here to pacify us!

Why you can’t even get drugs in Harlem without the White Man’s permission!

You can’t get prostitution in Harlem without the White Man’s permission!

You can’t get gambling in Harlem without the White Man’s permission!

Every time you break the seal on that liquor bottle, that’s a Government seal you’re breaking!

Oh, I say and I say it again, ya been had!

Ya been took!

Ya been hoodwinked!

Bamboozled!

Led astray!

Run amok!

This is what He does….

That’s Barack Above. Here is Malcolm X (as portayed Denzel Washington) Below:

Now, as a black man in America, there are certain code words I know we use in the community which if taken in isolation might seem innocent, but when taken in proper context are among the most vile insults that can be heaped upon an individual.

Ever since Spike Lee’s Malcolm X was released, two words entered the popular lexicon of racial intolerance, those words are “hoodwinked” and “bamboozled” .

In isolation they might be innocent, however when a black man says a white man is “hoodwinking” and “bamboozling” black people, he might as well be saying that the person he is referring to is a “nigga hating cracker” . Taking it to its logical conclusion, same can be said about the supporters of that person (gosh darn it, I guess that makes me an Uncle Tom)

Either way, for reasons best known to Obama, this is the second time in this campaign he has used exactly this phraseology while giving a speech geared to a predominantly black audience. The first time he did was in South Carolina when he was referring to Bill Clinton. Afterwards, Bill went from being the first black President to a racist demagogue as far as the black community was concerned. Now in Philladelphia, he has chosen to do the same against John McCain.

From his utterances it seems till there is a race war, Obama would not be satisfied. Why he would channel Malcolm X at the height of his militancy against a GOP that already has to contend with (false) accusations of racism is beyond me, but as stated earlier, Obama is willing to destroty the country to win an election.

For further insight into the use of these words, one need only grab a copy of Spike Lee’s Bamboozled which came out in 2001, and continued where Malcom X left off. In the opening scene, Spike’s voice can clearly be heard saying “you’ve been hoodwinked, bamboozled” and what was he referring to? Black people selling out their own race to white (corporate) interests that had nothing but ill-intentions towards them, in fact the whole movie centers around that theme.

Incidentally, there is no way one can claim Barack Obama does not know the context which those words came from. Hate it or love it, no black leftist intellectual worth his salt can claim not to be aware of who Spike Lee is, or have familiarity with his work.
