It seems Ziggy is the self appointed extension of the apartheid punk's "X" site. Posting MAGA memes painted in black.
Someone pull Ziggy aside and enlighten him on the following:
- When the Confederacy lost the Civil War, you had black folk stating that "freedom" was not for them, as all they knew was plantation life, and it was better to stay put, as "massa" was going to be kinder and gentler. Of course, these individuals were "thinking for themselves" ... and promoting a mindset that was against the best interest of his people.
- The hierarchy of black church and civil rights folk cautioned MLK that he was moving too fast and too bold with his marches and speeches. Of course, these individuals were "thinking for themselves" ... and promoting a mindset that was against the best interest of his people.
- Cheeto Jeezus and dear old dad had to be taken to court in a class action suit to stop discriminating against black Americans by banning them from obtaining housing in their apartment complexes. He also took out a full page add in NY papers calling for the lynching of the Central Park Five, yet did nothing similar in ways of apology or admitting to error when they were acquitted of all charges. He also publicly bitched about the amount of money the Five got in suing for wrongful incarceration. And let's not forget how he championed and rode the "birther gate" nonsense against Obama into main stream politics. He NEVER publicly apologized for that, and ONLY ACKNOWLEGED that Obama was a born US citizen when he ran in 2016.
Of course, any black individual who ignores such is "thinking for themselves" ... and promoting a mindset that is against the best interest of themselves and their people. My grandmother, born and raised in the Jim Crow South (her mother was a former slave) had a name for the people Ziggy champions here .... "black fools".
Let's get real: if black folk have legitimate beefs with the Dem party, then do like the teabaggers did with the GOP. Get together and slowly take over via local then state elections. Yes, it's harder than being a stooge for the congenital racism in America, but nothing worth while in life is easy.
Obama wasn't "shaming" anyone, as he was very direct and specific as to what he was saying. As usual, the MAGA/Alt-Right trolls put their pointy hooded spin on things. It just burns their sheets that Obama whupped their sorry ass mentality TWICE, and in doing so literally saved the country from a second recession/depression via good old reaganomics and the Shrub.
Taking the route of kissing up to MAGA folk to get a high paying job parroting trash like Owens or being a pure sucker like Powell or Rice or Steele may get financial security and notoriety, but the price is being reminded just what you are to the people you toady to/for. They did.
And the band played on.
