IS OBAMA FIT TO LEAD?
I guess this question should be the focus and issue for all Americans to reckon with.
It is downright irritating to watch racist delve on the issue of color to determine his leadership prowess, putting aside or rather ignoring his intellect, intuition and charisma.
Elected already as the Democratic Presidential nominee; I really can’t fathom why at this juncture the press and racist should belabor on the point of color.
It is a trivial matter to concentrate on; meanwhile there are lots of stuff that plagues our contemporary society to be preoccupied with.
More so, is it not true that Barack Obama has proven his worthiness as an ambitious and successful young American, which I belief qualify him to run for the presidency.
And how many of those who parade their superiority because of their white color against black can qualify or excel as Obama.
I must say, it is indeed sad to know the entire world view America as a world power that perpetuate and advocate equality, human rights and freedom in every sphere.
Yet some of its citizens who are naïve are contrary to the precepts of viewing and treating all humans as equals despite their color, race or ethnicity.
I do have reasons to belief that an American is an American thus, they all have the right despite their color to equally enjoy their civic rights. To this I say, Obama is a bona fide American. It is a fact that, many white color people have not the guts and talents he posses.
When I have the misfortune to listen to how some of these whites view blacks and sometimes even mistreat them, I asked myself if it has been proven that being a black or hybrid is a deficiency as such, affects their human anatomy thereby limiting their skills and aptitude.
By my observation, those who grudge Obama and openly vent their bias and prejudice by using his color as a base to acknowledge his incapacity to lead, are those who suffer from self complex because in their wildest dreams they could never accomplish or measure up with Obama’s accomplishments.
Basically, instead of lauding and appreciate his vision for bringing change, they center on his color, African background and name to discredit and debase him; trying to intimidate and play on his self complex.
Perhaps just maybe Obama was totally white he might not have excelled as he has done with his present statues quo.
