| New life was being born in McPherson Square, in Washington DC, in early December of 2011. Islam and Unger had become molded in the rain, together, writing their Obama Book. Islam had finally sought entry into the mainstream with the hunger and passion of a suicide bomber. In fact, the explosive belt that she does wear is indeed laden with great hazardous potential. Islam and Ungar are polar lovers, theirs is a schizophrenic passion about home, political destiny, and human dreams for truth and authentic liberty in 21st Century America. America is a self-created monster, its own melting pot, designed to brew world domination, has largely succeeded in globalizing moral vision, at least on a political level. Bits of bread crumbs kept creeping into our thoughts both inside and outside the tent, draped like every other one, in blue plastic tarp, a present from the local garbage workers' union. Islam fell in love with Stryker for his power, the sheer energy of his defiance. Born in Pakistan to the former nobility that had cocktails with the Bin Laden, art stricken mothers underground, she had despised America at the same time that she sought to take it over. Stryker became her pole in McPherson Park under the watchful, rejoicing tutelage of the librarian, blood, flesh, and bionic communicator. With the librarian, we had truth on our side: the young would and could re-write history in their favor. We all became goat herders in Africa with the ascension to power of the Obama machine, with one or two terms, for Islam, Obama is coming to define our multicultural age, encapsulating not so much our age as our style. The Rainbow won and Muslims are on board! Islam basked in her immersion of an enormous spectrum of people that opposed to Republican policies and public ideology; so many people staggering with good cheer for some time. With the Occupy Movement, many of us are finding a second wind to our deep surprise. 3 years on, Occupy has jolted us out of our resignation to political ineptitude. A sense of Now has sprung back into life for many who have long been concerned with social justice, hand in hand with the young who are in the first blush of youth in peace and justice studies. And the Tea Party now has a challenger in Occupy Wall Street, providing an much needed balance, Yin and Yang, to the American fabric. Could America choose between two black men in 2012? Obama Book delves into the holes of our time, the colors, the alignments of America in the age of Obama White House. The Obama Age is a story of ourselves, one in which you are invited to share your own contributions. Are you the mother of a little boy of color, want a role model? What ever good has been done by a solid black presence in the media for years, has been radically superseded by a black president in the White House. And their is a new explosion of the dynamics of racism that is perhaps most clearly evidence in the fact that large numbers of white southern men declared their support for Herman Cain for President. The surge of Cain, especially in the deep south, however short-lived as a result of Cain's own intellectual incompetence, leaves one the impression that the Republican's are jealous of our exclusive Negro standard bearer; and like the idea of one-upping us with a leader who really is black instead of just mixed race like our; the race card has become a deck being shuffled in unexpected ways. Obama book characterizes an era of families and generations overcoming negative, yet long standing notions of exclusivity and superiority, on the one hand, and has lifted up the spirits of many people of color to believe in their own possibilities. OB is about us, what is coming of us, what we have become and what we have won. Much of what is at stake with the Obama presidency is about something as basic as our perceptions of beauty. This writer could not help but notice how the Web’s singles sites lit up with black women; which, at the risk of stirring controversy, some of whom looked very much like Michelle. Is not Malia now the prettiest girl in America in some fundamental way? And she is a colored girl. And we are proud. The long term impact of Obama power is present in the Justin-Bieber-age-group’s determinations of beauty. His girlfriend and fashion Guru, has a Latina name. Bieber and Obama are friends. Even Herman Cain can get in on the action and describe himself as Haagan Daus black walnut and his poll numbers shoot right up, just like Obama’s did when he danced with Ellen DeGeneres. Thus, new possibilities in fundamental visions of color and people, others, the way our children and grandchildren are learning to see and think, have hinged on being a post-black-president America. For many of course, this is oppressive, and they write the book too. The tea party afflicted see themselves as authentic freedom fighters (just like Reagan's Contra in Nicaragua). Is the tea party racist? Well, Herman Cain really does make you stop and think on this one? Almost all minorities, people of color, a powerful voting block of alternative, left, anti-establishment figures, and the similarly broad spectrum of people who simply could not handle any more Bush, came to power in January of 2009. Women also tend to trust someone who is a good husband and father, areas where black men have not distinguished themselves; coupled with health care, Obama was a slam dunk for women, generous souls by their nature, particularly when it comes to babies. Even Republican women shudder at the thought of brown babies dying in the street, even as they struggle to distance themselves from the realization that the most vulnerable babies among us are the first casualties of Republican economics. While not 99%, it does not seem unfair to suggest that as much as 80% of Americans felt ashamed of their country at least at some point during the GW years. The sheer enormity of the diversity of Bush haters, those who felt an almost biological repulsion to the man, speaks of OB power, the acceptance not of what we wanted in a president, rather than a profound, visceral declaration that we needed something very different from what we had in Bush. Change under Obama has opened a Pandora’s box, from which we know not what is coming. Still, the melting pot is our measure of a tolerant, multi-cultural society and it is heating up a great deal under Obama. Law gives every appearance of triumphing over bigotry. Concrete progress is being made in the reduction of nuclear stockpiles. Even our gay soldiers are now able to hold their heads high under Obama's leadership. And the Latino race card? It seems quite likely that a Republican challenger to Obama will choose a Latino for the VP spot? And if this turns out to be a Latina ? Susana Martinez, Governor of New Mexico, with her pistol tucked nicely into her business suit could certainly shuffle the deck, especially among women. What does this do to our neat, tidy alignment of women and progressives on one side, and something else on the other? Republicans spend a lot of time denying their racism, while the rest of us get on with it. Yet this Republican angst can be used against them. It is destabilizing, distracting, and generally plays into our hands. OB has been healing not only for America, but for the world. He and his family, simply as public images, faces, could conceivably do as much more for Africa as they do for America, as a result of the long term power of image in sustainable social change. |
