President Obama's Eulogy Of Rev. Jesse Jackson

[Pioneer1]

Former POTUS Barack Obama still has the gift of oratory. He gave an excellent eulogy for Rev. Jesse Jackson.

 

Glad Rev. Jackson's celebration of life was well done. Despite the fact that the white supremacists did not allow him to lie in state at the US Capitol.

 

Another example that Black folks don't have to wait on white folks for validation &/or acknowledgement.

 

In the words of the late, great James Brown, "I don't want nobody to give me nothin', just open up the door & I'll get it myself."

 

Thanks to everyone who made Rev. Jesse Jackson homegoing a stately affair.

 

Job well done. RIP Rev. Jesse Jackson.

This also shows me....as most of his speeches....that Obama knows how to influence and motivate people when he WANTS to.
So all this crap about he couldn't get "this" done or "that" done is just that.....crap.
He got done what he was put in office to do.

I was initially interested in this video because because of a bit of deception that was going on around the internet (George W. Bush said "internets"....lol) that Obama was dragging Trump in the eulogy and really letting loose on him.
Man, I watched that speech from start to finish and he didn't even mention Trump's name...or the Presidency.

He did indirectly touch on him for a moment or two with the "every morning you wake up" remarks, but that's about as far as it went.

My question is, where was Michelle?

What did his eulogy influence or motivate people to do?

Every POTUS has a mandate to fulfill upon taking the job. It comes from the most powerful groups of people.

The whereabouts of his wife always seems to be the question whenever POTUS Obama makes an appearance without her.

 

Former FLOTUS Obama is making her own moves out in these streets. Clearly, she's not tethered to her husband.

 

It's funny that nobody asks why POTUS OJ doesn't wear a wedding ring & FLOTUS always looks like she's being forced to make appearances with him whenever she does show up.

 

The Clintons look more like business partners than a happily married couple. That's mainly because their marriage is an arrangement. 

 

Expectations are very different when it comes to white men & their wives.

Exactly what they did
Play the little entertaining game of "call and respond", that he usually does when speaking to a Black audience.

 

 That's right!
 Go 'head baby!
 say it honey say it!

 

He doesn't demand much from them except cheerleading and moral encouragement.

While this is true, I often look to Franklin D. Roosevelt as an example of one who may have bucked the system a little bit and gave the people what they actually NEEDED.

Lol....for a good reason.

Probably for the same reason she's constantly getting make-overs that make her look 20 years younger and keeping them long brown legs nice and shiny....lol.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Former FLOTUS Obama is making her own moves out in these streets. 

 

Which should be an embarrassment to him.

It's like that with MOST wealthy and powerful couples.

Wealthy and powerful people know that marriage is just a business and social arrangement designed to boost the status and wealth of both parties as well as often times their two families.
 

It's usually the poor and uneducated men who are silly enough to actually believe that marriages in Western society are "divinely ordained" or holy.
Only to get angry and go on killing sprees when their wives show them....one way or another....that they're actually not.

 

 

 

 

"How could she do this to me?
....with my own brother?
.....and his friend?
....in the bed I built with my own two hands?
....on the brand new mattress I just bought 2 weeks ago?
....with our children in the next room?
.....with my dog in the same room watching them?
....and put it all on video?
Fuck it!  They all gotta go!"


You never hear about rich men committing murder suicide because they caught their wives cheating.
They EXPECT for them to cheat....because THEY'RE cheating too.
Just don't bring home a disease or unwanted pregnancy that ruins his image.

Some rich men PICK the man he let's his wife have sex with....lol.


 

 

Expectations are very different when it comes to white men & their wives.
 

The expectations are different because the patterns of behavior are different.

White women have a pattern of standing by their White men in power, both physically and otherwise.
Do Black women have a pattern of standing by Black men, even if he's wealthy and in power?

Every pork chop preacher gets the same response on Sundays & during other speaking engagements.

That's no reason to gatekeep a wife.

She's generating more wealth for them. That's not embarrassment.

The Obamas are running the same playbook.

As I mentioned in previous threads, rich & powerful men think differently when it comes to women.

 

It's hard to become wealthy & keep it. Women come a dime a dozen especially to rich & powerful men.

Most Black women stand by their men regardless of whether he's rich & powerful or more broke than a bag of glass.
