Through the Magnifying Glass

An opinionated view of magnifying proportion! Is President Obama scrutinized unfairly because of his race?

 Running for the presidency and winning is one thing, but a Black man doing it is another! American reeling from the Bush years needed a better winning solution, and one American in particular sprung a surprise coming out of nowhere and thrusting intellect up in the mix coupled with a magnificent campaign strategy. It was unheard of and unprecedented in political lore. Defying all odds, he made it and his persona is bigger than life -- like that of a magnifying glass! There's quite a bit to be said about scrutiny and all of its elements. Social value that signify acceptance is different among people of other persuasions. 


They are not prone to forget that racism is institutionalized by their ignorance and stupidity...they would be content in defying proverbial status quo by seeing Obama uphold the legacy of the Black Panthers, raising a defiant fist with a "Black Power" ideological pathos.  I wonder what would be their response if he appeared at the next press conference wearing a  dashiki and his hair in cornrows? Will the bill for reparations suddenly take on more meaning than they'd want to give it credit for? 

It's not a foregone conclusion that tolerance is only as effective as the time allowed for him to be successful in all things that the Bush administration screwed up on. The magnifying glasses are out in earnest! The man is under scrutiny for everything he seemingly detracts from promises he made during his campaign for the presidency. Mentioning race is an apparent no-no as his numbers plummets in the polls every time he does so. I long for the moment when the field is open and he's running toward the goal line for a touchdown. He scored because he deftly and with aplomb snuffed out the fires of iniquity throughout the world, and did everything imaginable for people to give this man much more than the chance he deserves without the ridicule while looking for the next mistake to harp on!
