BuffaloSoldier

IN THE 1800S, DOWN IN ARIZONA AND MEXICO BuffaloSoldier salutes QueenOfSoul Miss Aretha Franklin. I'm going to explain my argument another way. It's 2004, a little known Senator from Detroit makes a speech at the Democratic convention. The eyes of the nation are on him. So are the eyes of the Disney machine. Those eyes are the same that has sanitized Davy Crockett. Those are the eyes that have given us The LionKing. But it's not enough that there is a fictional LionKing. We need that sanitized version in reallife. The Blacks are hungry for it and they're in the bag. Jose Luis Silva, born of a white Michigan Italian descendant mother and an African father from Angola, exhorts all to believe in American Exceptionalism. "Not red states, Not blue states, But the United States!" Harry Reid is excited. A Negro absent a "negro dialect" There! A negro we can get behind. And it's a story that's not just negro. He's electable and Presidential matieral because he's not BlackAmerican alone. Plus, he doesn't make worker friendly speeches. No Jesse Jackson "Hospital workers make beds everyday that they, themselves cannot lay in once they're sick." Hot damn! We're a go! Let's see, we've already pulled in the Blacks, the biracials, the multicultural, and because of the name, though he doesn't have a latin bone in his body, the latinos. How do we get WhiteAmerica? He still looks too Black although he has equal amounts of Black/White blood? Got it! We emphazise he's not bred in some ghetto. He spent most of his formative years in China! That's as far away from BlackAmerica as Indonesha. This is going to work. Why not a regular BlackAmerican? Too much legacy here. We need someone to walk through those WhiteHouse doors whose ancestors couldn't have had a hand in building that structure. Besides, BlackAmericans are still the bogeyman. They're still SusanSmith/Stuart/ and the law enforcer's wife. Meaning in the psyche of mainstream America they drowned SusanSmith's kids, killed Stuart's wife and shot him and raped the law enforcer's wife.(Of course no Blacks were involved in any of those events!) We'll get more whites, at least some, who want to be a part of history, some who will love that his white grandfather stormed the beaches of Normandy, and some who will believe that YES WE CAN. %45. So along with %98 of the BlackVote,%67 of the LatinVote, we'll have a landslide on our hands. And a new real life LionKing. We'll have a corination, complete with a song made popular on the year of the President's birth. It will be sung by an actress who portrayed the original singer, and not the original singer herself, although she's still in good voice. How's that for completing an illusion? Of course, some ranting BuffaloSoldier will see our cynical hand being played, but who will listen to him? YES, WE CAN! SI, SE PUEDE! I'm BuffaloSoldier and I approve this second look
