Black Life Less Important To Obama

President Obama seems to always speak up and out when tragedy happens anywhere in America or the world — except when the victims are Black . . . Black Americans, in particular.

And you know things are bad when major White media outlets like The Daily Beast are criticizing Obama for saying nothing about Blacks being killed in cities, even his hometown of Chicago.  If you ever want to see a spineless, clueless Black man –- a man that hates his own people, check out President Barack Obama.

The Daily Beast’s Michael Daly mentioned Obama talking about “loss of life” in Afghanistan when he was at the NATO Summit in Chicago, but 58 people were shot in Chicago over the course of one weekend, and Obama said nothing.  I say “Obama” because he doesn’t even deserve to be called a president, not now, not ever, although I do occasionally give him Title Props he doesn’t really deserve.

“They’re so worried about kids eating healthy,” said Annette Holt, a Chicago fire captain, referring to Michelle and Barack Obama and Michelle’s health and fitness endeavors.  “They ought to worry about kids living.  They’re not going to be able to eat healthy if they aren’t living,” continued Holt, who lost her 16 year old son several years ago because he was saving someone else from being shot.

Obama is an embarrassment to Black people, showing mainstream America how scared Black people, even the most powerful man in the world, really are when it comes to bringing up the issue of race or complaining.

At some point, we have to realize that Black people deserve what they get.  “Treat ’em like they want to be treated,” I say.  How can we expect White folks to treat us right when we won’t treat one another with respect?

My name is Walter Hilliard III. I have a B.S. degree in Public Administration and a Masters in Psychology (specialty in Media Psychology). I’m currently seeking publishers for a book focusing on Black Self-Destruction and two inspirational eBooks, having already published a multitude of articles in several different newspapers and magazines over the years. I’ve been a head basketball coach on the high school and college level, and taught success classes at a private college, created numerous community and college programs focusing on leadership, mentoring, college awareness (for inner-city kids), and employment and training. And I have worked as an employment and training manager, family therapist, behavior specialist, college retention specialist, juvenile detention center treatment supervisor, and a contractor, facilitating relationship and marriage education groups for couples. The purpose of Universal Soul Power is to confront negative media messages about African Americans, proliferate positive messages about the Black community, and inspire all those who are part of the universe, but especially African Americans, through my inspirational writings. The truth is that most African Americans haven’t lost their Spiritual Souls, yet (although some of us behave like we’ve lost our minds), but we have lost our “Soul” — that NewRhythmandBluesyContemporaryHipHopSoul that allows us to be compassionate, productive leaders who recognize what really matters in life and live our lives beyond fad terms like “Swag,” instead embracing more fulfilling concepts like being Calm, Cool, and Collected, and knowing what they are all about: being your “growing self,” dancing to your own Life Drum, in tune, on beat, unfazed by fear, and leaving the world a better place when they move on. Now dat’s Real Soul, and dat’s whatum talkin’ ’bout! Walter L. Hilliard III
