Marketing Obama and Hope: Black People - Don’t Get Bamboozled


By Sherman Austin

The idea alone that a white-led and white-founded institution (being the democratic party) would put it’s power and resources in the hands of a negro is beyond unrealistic. It’s not just the element of racism that makes this unrealistic , it’s the fact that the white power structure is too smart to let a negro or any other person of color control the economics and resources of it’s community and political network. It’s not intelligent.

What we see is just another attempt to further legitimize the falsehood of white supremacy by putting a black face on white american politics to fuel the agenda of a system and it’s political circus that uses false pretexts such as “change” and deceptive themes of “integration” to divert your attention from the real motives.

Fabricating themes of “integration” is used to reinforce and sustain the very dogmatism of a country somehow changing and moving forward, when in reality the power structure has already decided how to strategically sustain control. For example we are countlessly tricked into believing that white-led institutions and enterprises moving into and controlling the resources of the black community somehow means “integration”, when these very same institutions and enterprises would resist violently deeming it intolerable and unacceptable if it was the other way around.

And yet amidst the much recent blatant and publicly demonstrated racist attacks on black america from the response to Hurricane Katrina to the NYPD killing of Sean Bell, we’ve yet again been deceived into thinking that the power structure is somehow open to change and integration and is capable of moving forward. Funny how hope always spurs at the perfect moment.

Unfortunately many are still unfamiliar with the marketing schemes too common with the so-called democratic process of american politics. When a president is extremely right-wing, conservative, and pro-war, it’s not long before the masses are eventually fed up and dissatisfied with the end result, so the next step is to introduce and market something less extreme, something that resembles the opposite, promoting “solutions” and a “new direction”, fabricate themes of change and hope, only to keep the very same agenda and direction intact.

The white power structure in america might just take it as far as letting Obama “win” the elections. After all it would make it easier for those really running things and making the rules to continue their agenda without the looming threat of an increasing number of people becoming fed-up with the political system. America has mastered the technique of keeping you pacified.

If you oppose the war, you can protest. Sign a petition. Write your congressman. While they still kill thousands, you can vote. False satisfaction in which the result is always the same; Nothing changes. If I was wrong then I wouldn’t be writing this today.

What about revolution? The idea of revolution isn’t necessarily difficult to introduce to people in america - what’s actually difficult is trying to initiate the idea. Pacification is a technique mastered by this system and it will go to any length to instill it, even if that means the system has to look like it’s compromising it’s own principles by pretending to turn it’s self around. This is easy for a system without principles. It makes the objective simple; keeping an agenda, and doing so by any means necessary.

Don’t get bamboozled.
