What is with the 'Blacks Against Obama' group?
An Obama rally was interrupted by a group of protesters holding signs which, among other things, said "Blacks Against Obama".
The protesters were shouted down by the crowd, understandably. But the signs carried mixed, hand-written messages, including one that pointed out Jesse Jackson's dislike for Obama. (That point was revealed during an interview when Jesse didn't realize his mic was still on and he made some pointed, rather disparaging, remarks about what he'd like to do to Obama's nether-region.)
The protest underscores the point that politics cannot be defined by race. Some want to equate 'blackness' with a set way of thinking; a core set of common values, beliefs and priorities. Ironic, since the 'diversity' crowd is the same crowd that is trying to homogenize people of race.
Back to the protest...they group does not appear to have any organized message. No formal website, no clear spokesperson.
I'm pretty sure that 'Blacks Against Obama' is a flash-in-the-pan group of individuals clamoring for their 15 minutes of fame. The clock is at 14:59.

There's a fringe group of this called, "Blacks with Harvard Law Degrees who graduated Magna Cum Laude" against Obama...but it doesn't have any members.
I want to start a group, "Blacks Who Have Always Known Jesse Jackson was a Shucking and Jiving Jackass."
Has anyone considered the notion that Brad Blakeman or Karl himself are behind Blacks Against Obama? It has all the hallmarks of GOP so-called "Ratf**k" strategy as perfected by Donald Segretti and Lee Atwater.
'Blacks against Obama' is an unorganized mass of people who are starting to look critically at the Democratic nominee. Just because he has a Black face doesn't mean he's the best for the space.
If Obama spoke negatively or as derisively about other groups as he has about African Americans (i.e. Father's Day speech), he would certainly not be the nominee. But they say the best way to "get support from the white man is to attack the Black man." That is the subject of an upcoming article in Harambee. Read more at Harambee News

Whether or not you agree with Obama's politics, he's an easy target to mock!
