The Leader of the Free World

A third star was awarded the Army’s newest leader of the Special Forces at Ft. Bragg, North Carolina. Why is it the town of Fayetteville, North Carolina seems as violent as Compton, Watts, or Harlem? Is Harlem really violent, or was it a place the black community reserved for their own cultural enjoyment and seen by White Supremacist America as a threat to their undeveloped artistic values? There was an article in the Fayetteville Observer today about the former jazz district in San Francisco. Eminent Domain was used by local financial elites to eliminate that cultural area replacing it with high rise condominium housing unaffordable to the blacks who formerly occupied it. Katrina, a natural disaster, virtually wipe out the Ninth Ward in New Orleans and along with it the cultural heritage of jazz music. The federal government, using Eminent Domain, is attempting to replace the birthplace of jazz with high priced elite housing. The housing bubble burst and irresponsible credit lending has left housing sales at their lowest in decades. America is losing touch with her cultural roots. What is happening? Financial dealing has replaced culture in America, because it promises to make a few very rich. The rest of America has been abandoned, and what once lended them cultural and therefore soul enriching nourishment to be able to cope with a void of existence, is being napalmed. Violence has taken the place of religion, culture, and the arts, and the rest of the world has responded with the same. America is reveling in a new leader that promises to restore some of America’s former glory, but that journey will be long and cobbled. The election of America’s first black President has resurrected the Civil Right Movement of the l950’s, and it is a shock. While America made great strides in Multiculturalism during the Clinton Administration, the War on Terror sidetracked that progress. Now America seems more violent than ever as Americans flock to gun stores to purchase weapons they believe will be outlawed by Barack Obama. It has never been more clear the ignorance of the American people. The populace that voted for John McCain saw a name resembling Saddam Hussein. They saw a black prophet confusingly similar to Muhammad, and George W. Bush’s War on Terror had them spun and frightened. It is an amazing feat that over half of the American people saw through this spin and elected Obama the new President of the United States. What is to transpire is still the same. Medvedev immediately threatened the United States with Russian missile deployment near its Polish boarders. The American news media, in its newfound tradition, is fueling the disparity between national security and hope attempting to frighten America with images of a weak and inexperienced president. Suddenly and with intensity images of a once dormant America have rekindled. The mob is now running drugs in San Antonio Texas through Los Banditos as reported by the History Channel. An eight year old child killed his father. Circuit City is filing for bankruptcy. General Motors will run out of cash to fund their businesses in 2009. Could the news be worse? Could media paint a more positive picture of life in America? Their spin machine successfully masked these domestic issues during the Bush rein, and only as he is waning from power are they being exposed as challenges for the new President. Bill Clinton, with his formidable intellectual prowess, sees it as a challenge. Many past Presidents yearned for greatness, and were not able to secure their places in the hallmark of American history for lack of great burdens. Who would want to change places with Barack Obama? Was John McCain up to the task of salvaging America? America is divided as she ever was along racial lines, but the media kept that secret because their chosen government officials were in power. Now for the first time in American history a black man has been elected the leader of the free world. What is forthcoming truly will make history.
