I know this is an old message.
I have not read the book you mention. Can you mention a few of Obama’s remarks
that show what you are describing? I may well say, oh, yeah, I remember that
now, but as I sit here, I can’t think of what you mean when you describe such
remarks.
Thanks.

The black people are following the , as the Black Agenda Report calls them,
"the black misleadership class". Note that the Congressional Black Caucus
pac endorsed Hillary without ever asking the members of the actual
congressional black caucus whom they wished to endorse. And this has to do
with money and power. The Clintons have money and power and all of the so
called black leaders who are endorsing them, feel that this provides safety.
I'm right in the midst of Dyson's book, The Black Presidency, and all these
complexities become very clear. But until I read all of the quotes from
Obama, I never realized how incredibly he betrayed black Americans in all of
his public utterances regarding race and black life. But although it enrages
me, I understand why. He was bending over backwards to mollify White
America, as if doing that would ever cause the racists to accept him. And
here are all these black leaders, supporting Hillary who had no problem with
her husband's welfare reform or tough on crime bills.

When I heard Hillary Clinton brag over the endorsement by her good friend
Henry Kissinger, I thought, "That says it all". If Clinton really was tuned
into the Working Class, she would have known the level of dislike for
Kissinger, by the common people. This man was no friend of American Labor.
What surprises me is the number of Black groups endorsing Clinton.
Obviously they do not have long memories.

The Top 10 Most Inhuman Henry Kissinger Quotes By Fred Branfman [1] /
AlterNet [2] February 12, 2016 Henry Kissinger's quote released [3] by
Wikileaks, "The illegal we do immediately; the unconstitutional takes
a little longer," likely brought a smile to his legions of elite
media, government, corporate and high society admirers. Oh that Henry!
That rapier wit! That trademark insouciance! It is unlikely, however,
that the descendants of his more than 6 million victims in Indochina,
and Americans of conscience appalled by his murder of non-Americans,
will share in the amusement. His illegal and unconstitutional actions
had real-world consequences: the ruined lives of millions of
Indochinese innocents in a new form of secret, automated U.S.
executive warfare. (Read Branfman's extended related [4] essay on
Kissinger.) Kissinger has a history of saying outrageous things that
reveal a dark callousness and hostility to the lives of innocent
civilians. Here's a
sampling:
Top 10 Kissinger Quotes
1. Soviet Jews: "The emigration of Jews from the Soviet Union is not
an objective of American foreign policy. And if they put Jews into gas
chambers in the Soviet Union, it is not an American concern. Maybe a
humanitarian concern." (link [5]) 2. Bombing Cambodia: "[Nixon] wants
a massive bombing campaign in Cambodia.
He doesn't want to hear anything about it. It's an order, to be done.
Anything that flies or anything that moves." (link [6]) 3. Bombing
Vietnam: "It's wave after wave of planes. You see, they can't see the
B-52 and they dropped a million pounds of bombs ... I bet you we will
have had more planes over there in one day than Johnson had in a month ...
each plane can carry about 10 times the load of World War II plane
could carry." (link [7]) 4. Khmer Rouge: "How many people did (Khmer
Rouge Foreign Minister Ieng
Sary) kill? Tens of thousands? You should tell the Cambodians (i.e.,
Khmer
Rouge) that we will be friends with them. They are murderous thugs,
but we won't let that stand in the way. We are prepared to improve
relations with them. Tell them the latter part, but don't tell them what I

(Statement [10] at a National Security Council meeting, 1975) 8.
Chile: "I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go
communist due to the irresponsibility of its people. The issues are
much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to decide for
themselves."

unconstitutional takes a little longer." (from March 10, 1975 meeting
with Turkish foreign minister Melih Esenbel in Ankara, Turkey) 10. On
His Own Character: "Americans like the cowboy . who rides all alone
into the town, the village, with his horse and nothing else . This
amazing, romantic character suits me precisely because to be alone has
always been part of my style or, if you like, my technique." (November
1972 interview with Oriana Fallaci)
Fred Branfman, who died in 2014, was published in the New York Times,
the Washington Post, Harper's, and many other publications. He was the
author of "Voices From the Plain of Jars." AlterNet memorialized his
work [12] in an article.
