Rolling Stone recently named President Obama “One of the Most
Successful Presidents in American History”, but imagine what could have
happened if, like white pitchers throwing at Jackie Robinson’s head, a group of
white lawmakers hadn’t since day-one been trying to take our President out of the
game. Of course I’m talking about the Eric Cantor led group who vowed on January
20, 2009 to oppose every bill that President Obama supported regardless of the
fallout solely to destroy his presidency. History will clearly show these men
to be backwards immoral frauds who risked a nation in an attempt to take down
one man of color for having had the audacity, like Jackie and others, to break
down another one of their sacred racial barriers. Their back-slapping
self-congratulating conversations will blow away in the wind, but their shame,
just like Barack and Jackie’s success will be written in stone for the ages.
Thank you Barack, for enduring and succeeding in a rigged white man's game for
all of us who cheered, as well as for those who booed.
