Obama: What Blacks and Progressives Have Bought Into
Glen Ford, Black Agenda Radio Commentary
http://www.blackagendareport.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=553&Itemid=34
Blacks and so-called progressives have abandoned their obligation to demand anything from Barack Obama. Especially among African Americans, there is a refusal to even listen to Obama's actual policy positions on matters such as military spending and troop strength or subprime lending disaster relief - issues that go to the very heart of his often profoundly UNPROGRESSIVE policy stances. This historical abdication of responsibility to make politicians accountable has already rendered progressives of all races, irrelevant. Left and Black "leaders" claim they will get around to challenging Obama later on - after he's ensconced securely in the Oval Office. They know nothing - or pretend to know nothing - about mass social behavior. Grass roots action cannot be switched on and off. Once the last vestiges of a movement are shut down, it takes many years to start it up again.
