Barack Obama's Stole Content From Jesse Jackson's Website
By mmille732003.

I feel sad rather than offended that Barack Obama did not show up at the State of the Black Union Address. I am happy that Hillary did, votes or no votes. It shows the continuing respect that Hillary Clinton has for the African-American community. Barack Obama is so busy to meet with the people who are voting their hearts out for him. Jesse Jackson would not have behaved in such fashion. African Americans need to examine Barack closely and I fear that is one of the reasons that he is not keen to get too close to blacks because they will discover some truths and realise 'that all that glitters is not gold' where Barack is concerned.

African-Americans, and it seems like the whole of America is seeing Barack Obama as the first serious African-American candidate running for the Presidency. Everytime I hear this I cringe. It was Jesse Jackson and his winning of eleven primaries who is the first serious candidate (Shirley Chisholm who was the first African-American acknowledged that she ran only to create history and for the record). When Jesse Jackson ran in 1988 it was his second try. It was Jesse Jackson, winning eleven primaries, who forced the Democratic party to change 'the winner take all' system to the 'Proportional Representation ' that Barack Obama is running away with today. Hadnt Jesse Jackson forced the Democrats to change the system Hillary Clinton would have had the upper hand as she won the big states such as Califorinia, New York, Massachussetts etc States that are a must win to win to be President. So Barack has been heir to Jesse Jackson's presidential campaign and Jesse insisting that the Democratic Party voting system be changed. So African- American make no mistake Jesse Jackson is , was, and will always be the first serious presidential candidate in American and African-American history.

It was Jesse Jackson 'who gave life and reality to the black Presidential strategy' So you see folks Barack Obama has read the book " OUR TIME HAS COME" on Jesse Jackson's 1984 Presidential campaign and is basically pinching ideas. Barack is not original . I just cant believe what I am seeing. Check the internet folks, it is all there.

Barack shouts about CHANGE but what he does not acknowledge, to the American public and to African-Americans, is the fact that he has again pinched Jesse Jackson's ideas on CHANGE. In 1989 Jesse Jackson stated " I offer you this book as my agenda for CHANGE. I believe it is our agenda for HOPE"

Jesse further argued "Now is the time when themes, symbols, and policies to which the national electorate responds are being defined" ......There's an old axiom in politics that people alone can't CHANGE the course of history- conditions count too. NOW IS THE TIME FOR CHANGE".

Barack is shouting about Change but he has not acknowledged Jesse Jackson's ideas.

"KEEP HOPE ALIVE" was Jesse Jackson's 1988 Presidential caption. So basically all that Barack Obama is doing is rehashing Jesse Jackson's ideas as his own without acknowledgement. It seems that African-Americans and the American people are being taken for a ride by Obama. These are not his ideas, they are Jesse Jackson's.

Just check it for yourselves on the internet

OUR TIME HAS COME - Jesse Jackson Presidential Campaign 1984
KEEP HOPE ALIVE- Jesse Jackson Presidential Campaign 1988
The books can be purchased from the University of Illinois.
In the book they also discussed strategies for running for President.
African-Americans acknowledged that they would have to pay consideration when "white candidate" .."who had a strong built in relationship with the African -American and Hispanic communities" decide to run for the President. " The African-American community would have to consider white candidates who had a civil rights record or history of involvement in the African community who deserve the African community vote".

It is sad that these ideas were not put into action as it would have avoided the dilema which now faces the African-American community with the Clinton/Obama situation. It is sad that these ideas were discussed and even printed yet we have this situation where Hillary Clinton with a long history of invovlvement in the African-American community (even before she met Bill Clinton) is now sidelined for Barack Obama. If those were the ideas discussed Hillary Clinton deserves the backing as President from the Afican -American community. Right now the only reason that African-Americans seem to backing Obama is the fact that he is African-American. African Americans must never, ever allow a situation like this to happen again.
Read those articles on the internet or buy the books and you will see that Barack is not original. You will see how Barack is using Jesse Jackson's ideas as his own. TIME FOR CHANGE and KEEP HOPE ALIVE - OUR TIME HAS COME all belong to Jesse Jackson not Barack Obama.

American Presidential Candidates: Who Is Breaking Which Ceiling?

American Presidential Candidates: Who is breaking which ceiling?

"I stand before you today as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the Presidency of the United States. I am not the candidate of black America, although I am black and proud. I am not the candidate of the women's movement of this country, although I am a woman, and I am equally proud of that. I am not the candidate of any political bosses or special interests. I am the candidate of the people."
~Shirley St. Hill Chisholm, on January 25, 1972, announcing her candidacy for President of the United States of America.


Beyond Skin Deep Presidential Egos Versus Feminist Presidential Eros

After the Iowa Caucuses, the psyche of frontrunners in the American presidential campaign became transparent. I analyzed the victory speeches of Senator Barack Obama of the Democratic Party and Mike Huckabee of the Republican Party. I am more interested in the sensibilities of the Democrats. I have been hearing echoes of feminist and racist heroics all over the place.
Who is breaking which ceiling?

“He’s demonstrated that a mixed-race guy with a Muslim name can get far,” said Tony Clayton, 43.“He has crossover appeal,” Mr. Clayton said, “and because of that he could win in a general election.”
~ The New York Times, January 5, 2008

Lest we forget, Barack Obama is not the first African American to win a presidential caucus, In 1984, Rev. Jesse Jackson became the second African American to mount a nationwide campaign for President of the United States, running as a Democrat. He won five primaries and caucuses.

The first African American woman elected to Congress, Shirley Chisholm (November 30, 1924 - January 1, 2005) was the first African American presidential candidate and she won 151 delegates’ votes.

If the goal of either Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton or Senator Barack Hussein Obama is all about breaking feminist or racist ceilings, then neither of them deserves to be the President of the United States of America.

Should black and colored American voters support Senator Barack Obama, because he is black and now the flag bearer of their race to fulfill their dream of having the first black President of the United States of America or because he is the best presidential candidate for the office of the President?

Should the women in America vote for Senator Hillary Clinton, because she is a woman and their hope to elect the first female President of America or because she is capable to lead the United States of America?

The President of the United of America should be superior to any feminist, racist or religious equation.

America deserves more than an ego-tripping or daydreaming President.There is a higher ceiling to break than color, class, or creed.
The ceiling of the ignorance of the universal truth that our destinies are not in the stars, but in our own hands, therefore, we should no longer be misguided and misled by the fallacies and hypocrisies of class, sex, race and religion.

We can achieve as much as we believe, because every human has the right to live and work for his or her survival and welfare on earth in love, peace and unity without fear of any form of man’s inhumanity to man.

As Thomas Jefferson said:
“Enlighten the people, generally, and tyranny and oppressions of body and mind will vanish like spirits at the dawn of day.”

The same truth stressed by Bishop Ajayi Crowther that, “only the best is good enough for us”.
Therefore, we should elect the best, regardless of their sex, color, or creed.

The goal of the American presidential election should neither be for the narrow-minded dream of electing the first black president nor the first female president of America, because the election of the President of the United States of America should not be a battle of the sexes or a race contest, but the quest for what is best for America.

Human judgment should be based on good reasons and not swayed by their skin-deep sentiments or hormones.
