W.E. A.L.L. B.E.: Why Obama Did The Wright Thing And How Rev. Wright’s Selfless Sacrifice Save The Obama Presidency…

Tha Artivist Reports…Special To W.E. A.L.L. B.E. News & Radio...

"A son can bear with equanimity the loss of his father, but the loss of his inheritance may drive him to despair."

"A wise ruler ought never to keep faith when by doing so it would be against his interests."

---Niccolo Machiavelli

Trinity United Church of Christ/Religion News Service
In Chicago, Mr. Obama embraced Christianity under the tutelage of the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., known for sometimes inflammatory views.

When Obama finally rejected and denounced his Spiritual Advisor and Father, the bombastic, controversial and edutaining Rev. Jeremiah Wright, America or shall I say White America breathed a sigh of relief…

Now White folks can vote for or against Obama in peace without worrying about that nagging and pesky race issue in the race…People are drinking the Rev. Jim Jones made Kool-Aid if you think Rev. Wright was an issue or distraction in this rather historical and very important Presidential campaign…

The job of The Messenger or Prophet is to put The Truth on display and make it accessible or readily available to the masses…The Truth nor The Prophet by their own respective natures cannot cater to any popularity contests or opinion polls…The Truth is what it is and The Prophet is what he/she is...What The Truth and The Prophet possess can’t be bought or bossed…Both are so transcendent that they can't be hidden and so buoyant that they can’t be drowned out in cynicism, ignorance and indifference (remember Jesus walked on water)…

Rev. Wright being the Prophet and brilliant strategist that he is gave Sen. Barack the easy way out…He allowed Barack to throw him under the bus by giving him the clear cut motives to do so…

Rev. Wright is an Ancient…He is playing the role of a Modern Day African American Trickster-god or Eshu, teaching all of us whether we realize it or not, some important lessons and rules in this game we play known as life...He possesses an innate understanding of human nature and the human condition…So does his pupil Sen. Barack Obama…He knew many Whites perceived Sen. Barack as weak because he wouldn’t separate from his mentor even if it would cost him lost votes among older and more prejudiced White voters…Rev. Wright in the tradition of Socrates and Jesus knew that in order to save the Barack Obama Presidency as well as America from its racist and hypocritical self that it would be up to him to fall on the symbolic sword, drink the poison, and get on the cross to make the ultimate sacrifice in terms of not necessarily his physical being but the sore corporate media induced mis-perception and mis-conception of his honorable yet complex character…

A Prophet Is Always Without Honor In His/Her Home Country…

Rev. Wright being crazy (like a fox) knew that Barack would gain many White votes by condemning him in public, but could possibly lose a certain portion of the Black Vote, especially those Blacks who still revered Rev. Wright and his message regardless of the negative backlash by the corporate media…

So once again Rev. Wright made it easier for Obama to do the necessary deed...

In his supposedly comedic and outlandish performance at the National Press Club last Monday, Rev. Wright suggested that an attack on him is actually an attack on The Black Church…Needless to say his comments pissed off a contingent of the Black Church’s leaders, saints and sinners who didn’t like being monolithic under the visage of the outspoken and audacious minister…Men and women of the cloth made their rounds on pundit t.v. and talk radio, as if they were taking up tithes and offerings, soundly rejecting and denouncing Rev. Wright themselves…

Some of the folks were actually envious of Rev. Wright’s ministerial work and dare I say legacy for producing such an amazing once in a generation political superstar such as Barack Hussein Obama…

Also needless to say some in the Black Church community were eagerly awaiting and praying for divine intervention to separate Barack from his minister so that they could eventually make room for themselves by Barack’s side and in his inner circle…

Rev. Wright knows firsthand how divisive and crablike we are as a people…Negroes love divisiveness like flies love you know what…

He was more than willing to piss off the Black Church in order to keep Barack’s Black support intact…

A Master Stroke From A Master Artist…

I wouldn’t be surprised after some time has passed, after Barack served two consecutive terms as one of our most admired and greatest presidents that a document, say a book for example, comes out detailing the strategy or method behind the madness to the Obama-Wright feud…

Trust me when I say that this so-called feud is more WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) posturing rather than Old Yeller tragedy…

Rev. Wright has done an excellent job in deceiving the masses for their betterment and enlightenment…I almost feel a little guilty in exposing Rev. Wright’s brilliantly executed plan…Almost…

Some people would ask how much did Obama know about this strategy???

It’s hard to say really…Maybe he was an innocent...That would explain his emotions and body language in his press conference to reject and denounce Rev. Wright as well as his and his wife’s sad facial expressions on their NBC Today Show interview…Maybe Rev. Wright shielded him from this phase of the plan…Rev. Wright also had faith that Obama would respond accordingly...I think if people want to know how Rev. Wright truly feels about Barack Obama the man and politician, then they should read his letter to NY Times writer Jodi Kantor whom he felt misrepresented him and his relationship with Obama in her March 2007 article about the minister and his famous congregationalist…

Wright-Obama relationship is more Malcolm v. Martin rather than Malcolm X v. Elijah Muhammad…Both of these men are on the same team tackling the same problems, but both are doing it in their own unique way through their own unique perspectives…In a way their roles are reversed, with the Prophet playing the Politician and the Politician playing the Prophet…

Very Machiavellian even if it isn’t intentionally so…And by any means necessary if the means surely justify the ends…

In contrast the rift between Malcolm and his Spiritual Father Elijah Muhammad was very painfully real and was helped along by a bunch of middle men who were envious of their relationship…People who are aiding in what they think is the destruction of an otherwise beautiful if at the moment strained relationship between The Minister and The Congregationalist will be surprised…This is not the end, but only the beginning…

The Martin & Malcolm Connection...

"I want Dr. King to know that I didn't come to Selma to make his job difficult. I really did come thinking I could make it easier. If the white people realize what the alternative is, perhaps they will be more willing to hear Dr. King. "

(Malcolm X in a conversation with Mrs. Coretta Scott King in Selma Alabama less than three weeks before his assassination)

"You know, right before he was killed he came down to Selma and said some pretty passionate things against me, and that surprised me because after all it was my territory there. But afterwards he took my wife aside, and said he thought he could help me more by attacking me than praising me. He thought it would make it easier for me in the long run."

(Martin Luther King, Jr. about Malcolm X)

Literally weeks before he died, Malcolm met with Mrs. Coretta Scott King to let her know the true reasons for his difference of opinion with her husband in public…To paraphrase Malcolm he was trying to ease some of the pressure on Martin and deflect it upon himself…By his persona Malcolm was really aiding the solution and not the problem and in turn he was also giving a voice to the voiceless the same way that Dr. King was representing the voiceless on the other end of the spectrum…Public disunity was bringing internal unity among Black people everywhere…This is what Sen. Barack & Rev. Wright are doing today…They are allowing all not just some of America to be heard for the first time on a National Platform…

Now’s the time to reconcile with the Hurricane Katrina tragedy approaching its 3 year anniversary, the growing prison industry complex, Jena 6, post-Sean Bell verdict, the dumbing down of our kids in the education system---30 kids in Chicago getting killed every year going to school and only 25% of Detroit's kids graduating from its public school system just to name a few eyesores, among other ills…Now's the time indeed for an intergenerational national conversation on race...
