The Mayor of London, has backed Barack Obama to become President of the United States.

 

1. When I first began reading this, I was thinking, “Well what if David Duke said, ‘It would be wonderful if __________ were elected President of South Africa, I think it would do great things for whites around the world.’ How would that play? Would he get crucified as a racist? Of course he would.”
   But then I read farther and found out that’s really not it. The critical part of an Obama Presidency is (just as we knew all along) people’s *feewings*: Asked for his views on the Republican candidate, Mr Johnson said: “Well, OK, I think John McCain has many, many wonderful qualities, but I think a Barack Obama victory would do fantastic things for the confidence and the feelings of black people around the world - that they can win.”

   I am sad for you Londoners, I truly am. It looks to me as if this guy is suffering a MAJOR case of cranial-rectal inversion syndrome. To me, the obvious thing to “do fantastic things for the confidence and the feelings of black people around the world” would be for the people of Zimbabwe to revolt, stand Robert Mugabe against a wall and shoot him, freely elect a democratic government that expresses the will of the *actual Zimbabwean citizenry* (what a radical concept, eh?) and declare their intention to make Zimbabwe the economic, cultural and tourist hub of the continent.

   Feeling confident that you can win is nice I guess.... but how much of a rocket scientist do you have to be to think that ACTUALLY GETTING IN THERE AND MAKING IT HAPPEN trumps “confidence and feelings”? And yet how many public figures have the cojones to actually express such an opinion? Anyone? Bueller?

2. Do Boris Johnson and Donald Trump use the same hair stylist?

   I have an idea why all these foreigners feel the need to endorse one of our candidates. It is in their best interests. When America sneezes they all get the sniffles, so to speak. So they want a guy who is more like them. More Socialist, more Big Government, more open to dirty money.

   OTOH, the list of despots and enemies who have endorsed Obama is rather frightening - Castro, Assad, Hezbollah, Hamas, Achmadinejad, Jimmy Carter, et al - enough so that, even if I had no other reason whatsoever to vote for McCain, I’d do it just because our enemies want Obama to be our leader.

   Notice that Obama’s “call for black fathers to take greater responsibility for their children” is controversial! The rest of the world calls that “being a dad” ... let’s have another big dose of the soft prejudice of lowered expectations for blacks, m’kay?

   And the “good for blacks everywhere” is just so much bullshit. Tell me where? In America the blacks have it better than anywhere else on earth, no matter how much they complain and no matter who is in charge. If Obama gets elected then the whole perpetual victim daydream falls apart, and they’ll have to start solving their own problems. Getting jobs. Doing community service. Being controversial responsible fathers. Staying off drugs and out of jail. Wake up homeys, under Obama the free ride is over!

   The blacks in Cuba are Cubans, thank you very much. The ones in Brazil are Brazillians first and foremost, though they have numerous social obstacles to overcome. How about the ones in England? Where else are there blacks? Russia, China, Finland? Not too many as far as I know. Almost all the dark skinned people in India and the Far East are not negroes, even though they’re just as dark. The aborigines in Australia? Just how is Obama going to help them any?

   And sub-Saharan africa ... oh good night. There is nothing that anyone in the West, or even the far East, can do that will lift the people there above the stone age curse of tribalism. They will continue chopping each other up with machetes and setting each other on fire with burning tires no matter what. Their governments will never ever be more than thug run tyrannies, stealing as much as they can while their population starves. Hell, in africa starvation is as much a political weapon as rigged elections. The smart hominids got off that continent a few million years ago.

   So a black leader in the US will do nothing for these folks, not even make them feel good since the average third worlder won’t even know. America is nothing more than a mystical fantasy to them. And honestly, genuine africans probably don’t think of Obama as black. He is half white after all. This is just Johnson spewing empty, meaningless rhetoric ... just like Obama!
