Barack Obama’s Pernicious Refusal to Defend the Causes of Black/Brown People

"What most shocks the 18-year-old Nigerian immigrant author is Barack Obama's "acquiescence to forces of white supremacy" - a reflexive reaction by the Illinois senator that has caused him to disrespect his African American constituency. Obama's "fierce" critiques of Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Father Michael Pfleger puts him in opposition to the sentiments of "millions of black people" and puts him in the camp of those "who view the majority of black pain as illegitimate." By pursuing an agenda that refuses to recognize "black" or "white" issues, Obama is playing with a 400-year-old fire."
