On January 20, 2012, Barack Obama was sworn in as the 44th President in U.S. history. Though I didn’t vote for Obama I thought the occasion was bittersweet. The reason was simple. Barack Obama's heritage was African. The Americans that hailed from Africa have a very different experience when examining the history of this nation than Europeans. Though the beauty and power of this country is that it was built on immigration from a myriad of other people from other countries, the African experience is one in which their immigration, unlike most others, was against their will. The 300,000 plus Africans that were sold into slavery in this nation were kidnapped or captured in tribal warfare from other African people and sold as a commodity on the west coast of Africa to European slave traders who would have had no other way to acquire them except wait for other Africans to gather them for them.
If you admit that everyone is capable and has at some point done something terrible to another person then we all start in the same boat. As a matter of fact, because we all start in the same boat, we have had to leave with humanity ideas and rules that transcend our flawed nature.
We have the golden rule uttered by Jesus that states “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you” and “Those who are without sin, cast the first stone” or secular versions like those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. So historically we have acknowledged that we are, to use another common phrase, “only human” which literally admits that we all are intrinsically flawed and so please not judge us too harshly especially if we acknowledge our mistakes and seek to make amends.
So back to my bittersweet remembrance of Obama as president. The sweet came to me with the hope that Americans of African descent would feel a sense of pride as they should have to have suffered unlike any other American immigrant in regards to their inhabiting this land and having virtually zero rights to so many years later through the courage, fortitude and commitment of their heritage they overcame the impossible to become landowners, scientists, professors, senators and congressmen, judges and academics and yes, just as the American dream promised, President of the United States.
But I also mentioned there was a bitterness to the inauguration. That was a result of the fact that Obama was a socialist and I despise socialism as the antithesis of free markets, innovation, creativity and self governance of its citizens. Little did I know that my dislike for socialism was going to somehow be conflated and interpreted as racism. Because I’m not a racist. I don’t view the world through racist eyes. Because the left sees nothing but race, it is impossible for them to see the world any other way. Because I look only for the most qualified and inspirational in my life - color is irrelevant to me since ideas don’t come in a color.
As a matter of fact for a true personal story I was educated and inspired by Thomas Sowell as one of the conservative thinkers I admired and never even knew he was black for at least five years, as I was introduced to his writings in the 80’s, so there was no internet, so as to easily get the gist of anyone anytime. So, when leftist began the tired formula of equating disagreement with his policies as actually concealed racism, I realized then and there that unless we put the brakes on this fraudulent leftist narrative of reality, it wouldn’t be long before the country would be ruled by elitist that literally created a world where whatever they believed magically became true without the annoyance of having to actually prove it so.
Thus, to slander someone’s character evolved from an immoral, uncivil, crime to instead a simple means to censor and destroy dissent before it reached the unenviable position of actually having to be contended with. Nothing can be more of a proof of the shallow, foundationless catastrophe that is socialism/communism as the fact that it thrives not by persuasion, but by never having to justify its position in the marketplace of ideas.
As I have always said, if your point of view cannot withstand intellectual scrutiny, then it is not worthy of your allegiance. That is unless thinking and submitting to reality is more abhorrent to you than speaking truth. What a tragedy that you will have wasted your life championing a fantasy because you would rather live by what you want to be true than actually what is.
