Is Obama black enough to be a exopresent Black male and therefor suffer rejection by the African American vote

Question

Since the million man march. Black men have suffered from the stygamatized image of being out of the home and into the jail.

Can Obama break this stereotype

Answer 1

As a white male, my first reaction was to think of this question as devisive and race baiting but after thinking about it, I think I understand the authors real world perspective (I could not find the definition of the word exopresent)

Let me first state, that if Obama shared my political veiws I would vote for him. I lean conservative. If my only choices were the current democratic field, I would vote for Obama.

I understand that there is a segment of the white USA population that will never vote for a black president. But I dont understand why Hillary Clinton can hype that women should vote for her so she can be the first female president while Obama does not mention he would be the first black USA president. (And do women , regardless of political affiliation, really want Hillary to exemplify the first women president?)

Perhaps your intuition is correct, and the first black American president will have to be "unblack" enough to get the votes from all races of American society to become president. Sad, but legitimate commentary on the particular aspect of USA society.

On the other hand, look how fast Obama's youthful drug involvement was thrown back into a white candidates(Hillary Clinton) face. I think that is enough to show is is "real".

Therefore, save for differing with Obama's positions on the issues or having insights into his ability to govern, I do not why black American's would reject him.

It seems to me that a successful black American presidency would do nothing but improve the image of Black Americans among all races of the USA, and be a further defeat for racist Americans.

But then again, I am white and what the hell do I know about the politics and psyche of black America?

Answer 2

Define your question better please. What is "black enough"? What is "exopresent"? The million man march was convened by the Nation of Islam leader (Louis Farrakhan). Was Obama there? Are you saying he follows Islam? What are you saying about the million man march, it's just kind of hung there without explanation.

I don't think Obama can break the stereotype alone. He did say he wants to continue seeing more Black men in prison that in college. I think if more Black men go to college from now on than to prison, that would be the best way to break this stereotype, don't you?

Obama missed a big opportunity when he rightly declared hanging nooses in trees is deplorable, but, deplorably he didn't say he had a problem with beating students. That will be just one of many things that will keep him out of the White House.

Answer 3

The real question is why would any black consider Clinton black? The fact that the black community thinks it is funny that he is and that he has slept with more black women than Obama is not only a slap in the fact to all blacks but a disgrace to those of us who are not black but try very hard to treat blacks as equals in the eyes of God.

The only thing the Clintons are good for is wiping that crap off your shoes you somehow step in when going through life.

What I also fear is that the black community that desperately wishes to stay underprivileged will vote not for a successful black person as they will take away their excuse of saying blacks never get anywhere in this country. They will vote for the clintons and thereby giving themselves the continued excuse of being taken advantage of.

There are already tons of successful black males that have broken the stereotype of blacks in jails.

Thereby proving that there are two groups of blacks. Those who stop using their race as an excuse to act like idiots and do something good with their lives and then there are those who demand to be seen as the criminal, out of wedlock moms and dads, pant crotchs dragging the ground, irresponsible idiots that scream they are discriminated against because they are black. They refuse to accept responsibility for their own behavior and have the unbelievable gall to drag the suffering of their ancestors into the equation.

If the blacks wish to make Obama an example of what they can be, they will do it. However if they chose to continue to live like unproductive members of society, then they will do so as well.

There is no stereotype. Life is what you make of it without excuses.

Answer 4

easily, not all black each physique is vote casting for Obama because of the fact of race even inspite of the undeniable fact that it is glaring that many human beings (the two black and white) are. A journalist went around asking people who they have been vote casting for, whilst human beings spoke back Obama the journalist asked in the event that they agreed with specific perspectives Obama holds at the same time with being against abortion, reducing taxes for massive companies so as that they might hire extra workers, and helping the conflict in Iraq. He additionally asked if Obama made the superb selection via choosing Sara Palin as his working mate and if she could make a superb vice-president. various the human beings in simple terms reported definite, that they agreed with Obama on all of those themes. they had no thought that the perspectives presented have been that of John McCain and that Sara Palin grew to become into the republican working mate. So I ought to ask your self why they accept as true with the republican cost ticket's innovations, and working mate, It 's glaring that they don't comprehend a project approximately Obama, yet are vote casting for him besides the two it is race correct or they continually vote for the democratic candidate without understanding why. the two way it is inexcusable to vote for a candidate without understanding what they stand for.

Answer 5

I hope so . We need more positive black male images in this country. Not just for young blacks, but for young whites too. It is a good thing to step outside the box. I want all kids of all races to know ,with hard work you can be anything.

Answer 6

nobody can break that sterotype.
now that the federal laws are changing and
a crack cocaine offense wont carry a minimun sentence of 20 years in federal jail then maybe it will change
but
if every dui carried a minimun sentence of 20 years
which
it should if an accident occurs
then
white people would be seen as 'drunk asses who kill people when they drink and drive.

a sterotype is built by a trend and an attempt to
connect cause and effect
hence black people go to jail alot.

if one black man gets to be president
then
most of the people will wonder
when the first president will go to jail

if they are so inclined to believe
that one causes the other

and
he claims he's african american.
dad is ghanan m om is american
so
yeah
he's half. american, half african.
no.
he'll have no effect because of that.

Answer 7

Obama's black heritage reached the United States after the civil rights movement. That's why he'll have a hard time reaching the black voters.

Answer 8

THERE NO SUCH WORD IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AS, "EXOPRESENT". AT FACE VALUE IT COULD MEAN, "OUTSIDE IN", WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? ACTUALLY THE WORD IS UNNECESSARY IN YOUR QUESTION. IT READS BETTER WITHOUT IT.

WHO YOU TRYING TO IMPRESS?

I DON'T KNOW YOU BUT I BET YOUR A BLACK PSEUDO-INTELLECTUAL, WHO CAN'T USE SPELL CHECK.

Answer 9

I'm not sure I like your racism! I'll pray for you!

Jesus! Sweet Jesus! Have mercy on this sad, misinformed soul!
