A Black Man Did It

Posted under Politics, racism

She claimed that a black man did it. 

As if the backwards “B” scratched onto her cheek wasn’t clue enough, so many white folks jumped onto the bandwagon and started pointing fingers at the non-existent black man and more symbolically at the one running for president.  The authorities say that Ashley Todd, the accuser, is mentally ill.  Maybe she is, maybe she isn’t.  That said, the thing that I think is really ill, the willingness of the McCain camp to push this story without ever verifying its truthfulness.  And then there are the do-do heads who support McCain and in their desperation to grasp at straws tried to ride this story like a sled down a snowy hill.

Then what do we hear?  Its all a hoax.

Anyone else see the shells on the floor, the bits of mud, the feathers?  Those desperadoes who couldn’t wait to lend this bit of debauchery to the un-American terrorist Obama and his camp, now have egg and mud on their faces and are eating crow until they gag.

Most disturbing, is the fact that this invisible attacker just happened to be a black man.  A big black man.  So here we go again, setting fire beneath fears and prejudices that should no longer exist.  All a white girl has to do is say that she was beaten and sexually assaulted by a black man and we instantly land ourselves in Lynchburg, Nowhere.  A black man is still the easy likely suspect, still the convenient scapegoat.  Then add Obama to equation, the former madrassa student, the secret Muslim, the cohort of terrorists, and the opposition has proved their point.  The point being that Obama isn’t a fit for the presidency of this country.

No, not really.  It proves that racism is still strong in the spirits of the people of America.  It proves that desperation knows no bounds when it looks like a black man, who’s father was an African and a Muslim, might actually clinch the presidency.  If the polls are right, it looks like this may actually happen.  It looks, Insha Allah , like we are really watching history in the making. 

And guess what?  A black man did it.
