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.
