Dexter's Vantage Point!

Republican Mike Huckabee and Hillary Clinton have officially made Barack Obama’s safety a real issue. The possibly of Obama being assassinated has gone from a something unstated to actually being discussed publicly. I really hope it doesn’t go there. May 16th Huckabee appeared in front of the National Rifle Association. He said the following after hearing a noise backstage, "That was Barack Obama. He just tripped off a chair. He's getting ready to speak and somebody aimed a gun at him and he -- he dove for the floor." Neither Obama nor his camp had any comment. May 23rd Hillary’s stated, "My husband did not wrap up the nomination in 1992 until he won the California primary somewhere in the middle of June, right? We all remember Bobby Kennedy was assassinated in June in California. I don't understand it." Obama's camp said, “Sen. Clinton's statement before the Argus Leader editorial board was unfortunate and has no place in this campaign." So...

May 19, 1925 he was born Malcolm Little. He lived as Malcolm X, and on February 21, 1965 he was slain as El Ha Malik El Shabazz: the best African American leader we’ve ever had. Malcolm had only 8th grade education. One of his elementary teachers told him that a nigger should look to do something with his hands and being a lawyer is outside of the realm of possibility. Malcolm ascended from humble beginnings as a child, to a career criminal who evolved to be the best African American leader of this century. He rose from the gutter and took hold of his greatness and lived his truth. No one has taken the torch. Malcolm was about real change. No disrespect to Obama today but Malcolm was talking about something over and above that of any other leader of this century including Martin Luther King. Malcolm provided the African American community with a thorough blueprint in order to achieve societal respect. Malcolm was a nationalistic thinker: he wanted African Americans to think and do for ...

June 5, 2007 Barack Obama spoke at Hampton University. With Rev. Jeremiah Wright present Obama stated the following: “Let me give a special shout out to my pastor. To the guy that puts up with me, counsels me, listens to my wife complain about me. He’s a friend and a great leader not just in Chicago but all across the country. So please everybody give an extraordinary welcome to my pastor Dr. Jeremiah Wright Jr.” That was then. Rev. Jeremiah Wright recently did an interview with PBS and gave speeches in Detroit and Washington D.C. After viewing Wright’s speech in Washington D.C. Obama was forced to throw his friend under the bus. April 29, 2008 he stated, "I am outraged by the comments that were made and saddened by the spectacle that we saw yesterday." This is now. Why is Obama outraged with words from a friend, mentor, and pastor of twenty years? Was Obama outraged when he went to Wright for spiritual guidance? Was Obama outraged when Wright performed his marriage and bapti...

I watched Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s interview with Bill Moyer on PBS April 25th. I found him to be a man of wisdom, passion, and truth. I think Wright is being unfairly attacked by the media for speaking collective truths about Americas past. Like Wright, I’m aware of the games the media plays on the masses: one of their primary functions is to socially engineer our minds. Through dispersing misinformation and half-truths they induce many to embrace their myths. This ensures the masses won’t ask critical questions and independently seek truth. The media can keep playing their games for now but nothing lasts forever. Like my mom says, “every road has an end to it.” Over 90 percent of what we digest from mainstream media comes from a white male Eurocentric perspective. It's not profitable for the white power structure to disseminate truth: doing so they'd have to admit to their centuries of wrong-doings. That latter will never happen. Anytime the white power structure is ro...
