Ebony, Black, Female, and Late to the Party  Posted: June 23, 2016 3:11 AM BY: DaShan Thomas NetworkHoncho.com   It's 2016 and Ebony Mag just discovered the weakness   Did President Barack Obama leave Black Women out, and deny them the top prize? Please get your "excuses for Obama keyboards" ready, because if you thought you would see a Black Woman on the U.S. Supreme Court in your lifetime, well think again. It's amazing that after years of Black Men trying to warn the Black Community of the weakness that encompasses the entirety of President Barack Obama's personality that it took so long for Black Women to catch up. The African American Woman was the most resistant to the African American Man's justified truth about Obama. The most out spoken men of note to speak up and then be shouted down by the most clueless Obama defenders/sheeple were Tavis Smiley and Dr Cornell West. These two successful Black Men were told by less critically thinking Blacks: "you just mad because you ain't the president." or "He has a hard job, you don't know his plan" or "He's not the president of Black People, he's the president of all the people in the United States of America" or "We need to get him into office first" or "We need to get into office a second time" or "What would you do if your family was threatened?" or the most asinine of all the defenses from Black Women "Why don't you run for Office?" Well folks the manure has hit the fan. Some Black Women have finally woken up, and I say some, because it will take time for the rest to get the Ebony Memo. So what woke them up you may ask? Well it was the POTUS pick for the Supreme Court. After all the exceptional voting in record numbers for the first Black President, after the nonsensical-unwavering defense of Obama's weakness, Black Women did not get the top prize they expected out of the deal. President Obama had three shots at SCOTUS nominations, the first was to replace Justice Souter who retired. His choice for that vacancy was a Latin Woman, Sonia Sotomayor. Which Black People gave him a pass on. Mainly Because Black folk are fair. Then Justice Paul Stevens retired and Obama appoints a White woman Elena Kagan. But in that fairness Black folk believed that if he had a third shot before he left office Obama surely would choose an African American. But no, Obama chose a 63 year old white male, Merrick Garland. Whoever would believe that Obama would FOLLOW THROUGH for Black Folk clearly were not paying attention to Obama's record with dealing with Black issues. Obama is not the type of strong man that would stand up for his people, ask Van Jones, ask Shirley Sharrod, ask Reverend Wright, ask the Black Protesters of Baltimore.   African American Woman are just now waking up to the fact that Obama is a squander-er of resources, that takes Black Men and Black Women for granted. Or at the very least Obama doesn't believe Black Folk deserve payback for their support, votes, or defense of his bottomless weakness. Black Women can now see what Black men saw before he was elected President. That he values white males, Gay people, Latin people, White Women, and pays them back quickly for their support. But for Black Folk he gives a "pull yourself up by your boot straps" speech. Black Men would have been happy if Obama appointed an African American Woman to the Supreme Court. But we're not surprised that he chose instead a white male republican for his nominee. Mainly because Black Men have largely given up on Obama doing what we sent him to the Presidency to do, and that was to improve the conditions for Black People as a whole, fight for us, give us our overdue shot at the American Dream. Instead Black folk were dismissed and put on the back burner or not put on the stove at all. With statements like: "Run for office first before you talk to me!" Black Women cheered and clapped for this line btw...Black Women of course knew that this was not meant for them, right ladies, just for the dark skinned Black Male, right ladies? The one thing that I know about being Black and Male is that if met with too much ignorant resistance from Black women and their Male Minions, Michael Eric Dyson, we will take our "ball" and go home, so Black Women can learn for themselves. Like Tavis Smiley and Dr. Cornell West intelligently did, and they went back to their successful careers and said "fuck yall" without saying the words. One of the most universal day dreams that Black Folks had while studying the Civil Rights Movement was, things would have been better during that time if we had a Black President. We know for sure now if Barack Obama had been president during the time when Civil Rights was being fought for by Million of brave Black people, Obama would have called the then Negro Protesters "thugs", he would have called Martin Luther King a "thug" and there would not have been a Thurgood Marshall Supreme Court Justice. Obama would have chosen a white guy from the suburbs of Illinois named Merrick, to appease white people. Sad but true. It would have been nice if he was that dude, that Harold Washington was, that type of dude. You know that type of Black Man who remembers and values his people, that Black Guy. Well Black Women you all are just going to have to live off his weak, over-processed, no nutritional value, 2 Percent Milk, lightly toasted Presidency for Black folk like the rest of us.
