That Photoshopped image of President Obama sitting with Martin Luther King is ridiculous. Those two people have absolutely nothing in common. Dr. King was a hero, and accomplished many great things. Obama is a politician, and he doesn’t give a fuck about you.

People actually well up with a false sense of pride because they think “someone of color” got into office and is automatically going to have their best interests in mind and is going to “set everything straight”. And continue the dream of Dr. King, and fight for the little guy. Well, I’ve got news for you, no politician from any party truly gives a fuck about you.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t personally have anything against Obama, but you have to take him at face value. Which means he is a politician, and he is not your fucking messiah. And to assume he is anywhere near the same league as Martin Luther King is insane. Martin Luther King put his life on the line to fight for what he believed was right. He died for what he believed in, but he most definitely accomplished what he set out to do. He believed in peacefully demonstrating, and using non-violence to accomplish what he set out to do, which was fight for the equality of all people.

In contrast, Obama orders troops into a foreign country to kill brown people by the thousands in order to steal their resources, condones racial profiling and unwarranted strip searching at airports, and back peddles on his tax promises so those with little pay a larger percentage than they should while the wealthy get a break.

So yeah, if you have that image displayed on your site or social networking page because you think you’re making a statement, consider thinking about what statement you’re actually making, because it’s definitely not the right one.

Until next time…
