Just last week we lost a great scholar who made a career in speaking out for truth and against racist dogma, Dr. Manning Marable, but now, it seems we are top heavy with more entertainers and athletes and celebrities that thinkers, intellectuals and those concerned with the collective over the individual. True, entertainers and celebrities can hold the banner for such as James Brown, Bill Crosby, Arthur Ashe, Hank Aaron and Muhammad Ali did in the past, but such is not the case for celebrities today.
Over the past few weeks, Presidential hopeful and tea party fuck boy Donald Trump has been front and center in stating his belief that President Obama as not being a native born American citizen. Triumph, a billionaire and executive producer of the weekly television show “Celebrity Apprentice.”, has received some criticism from African Americans but not much. Especially from celebrities.
On his show there are several people of color including the rapper Little Jon, the reality television beneficiary Ne Ne Leaks, singer Dionne Warrick, and Lawyer Star Jones, but to my amazement, none have spoken out openly against Trumps assertions that Obama was not born in America. I find this troubling for two reasons. First that they are afraid and subconsciously see Trump as a slave master who would be more prone to chop off their foot for not changing their slave name (a metaphor for money) than to stand for the truth and their community. The second is that they appear to be cowards, afraid to voice their beliefs in support of Obama, as if they have forgotten they will not have water hose sprayed on them or dogs let loose on them.
I am very saddened that in 2011, people feel obligated to act more as slaves than free individuals. That is unless they too believe Obama is not a native born American. If they do not, then they seem to serve their selves over the community, the same community that supported them and made them wealthy. For being ashamed to voice a political opinion for a man you support is both loathsome and cowardice and reminds me of what George Orwell once wrote: In a time of universal deceit - telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

Hi, cool post. I have been thinking about this topic,so thanks for sharing. I will probably be subscribing to your blog. Keep up great writing!!!
In which case I am a revolutionary. Anyone in their right or left mind knows Donald Trump is a windbag who talks to hear his head roar. This deal with the Presidents birth is just plain crazy. Lets get on with it the President was born in the United States. Anyone who says no, can only see black. The President has did many things I don't like, which is my right. But I don't give a tinker's damn what his race is! It has nothing to do with whether he is or isn't qualified to be President. I'm interested in job performance and that's it.
We've had presidents that were murdered, impeached, gay, committed atrocities, been catholic, Quakers, racists, murderers, rapist, crooks, wives that ran the White House and vindictive. So what!
You just know they are getting paid, and they feel like they cannot say anything. Like you said they afraid to have their foot chopped off!
Obama is an uncle Tom sellout. As much as I dislike "the donald", I wouldn't risk one red cent defending Obama's ass.
You have maintain it so beautifully that I truly like & enjoy it
