Michelle Obama: Inferiority Complex Prevents Blacks From Supporting Obama
Found this on Newsbusters
Guess I won’t be calling Mika Brzezinski a “newsreader” again anytime soon. She went to Iowa over the weekend and scored an in-depth interview with Michelle Obama that included a highly-controversial suggestion from the candidate’s wife.
According to Mrs. Obama, her husband isn’t polling better among African-Americans because in the back of their minds, many blacks think “others” are better.

Folks let’s forget the fact that I’m by no stretch an Obama supporter, but Mrs. Obama is 100% correct. It is as she states, the legacy of racism in this society that black folks choose to diss their own in favor of what is “white.”
I remember an episode of Sanford and Son as a little kid, where Fred had to go to the doctor, or dentist I think and he “insisted” that his doc be not only white, but a Jew. Yes that is a fictional show but I’m telling y’all this is very real in the black community. Amongst our own folks anything black is typically inferior.
Quickly my own personal take, for several years prior to moving I had a black doctor and dentist. I had a great relationship with them and they were decent dudes in all but it wasn’t until I moved and found a really good young, white female doctor that I discovered I has some serious health issues that somehow were missed by my brotha docs.
Long story short, the “discovery” of my diabetes, and high blood pressure, more detailed analysis of some of my chronic back pains, more detailed discovery and analysis of my diet and need for exercise.
More detailed test on my eyes and minor skin problems, what I’m getting at folks is why did my new community and hence my new docs do FAR more detailed scrutiny that my much older experienced black docs, who should have been more versed in these ailments typically found in black males?
Let me tell you, I had the same “black is inferior” complex, but I went to many of the black health care professionals mostly out of let’s just say “community pressure” and at the time political expediency. I worked in the black community on a number of issues and I was a visible presence particularly working on community health issues, and I wanted to show support for black health care professionals.
Again what does this have to do with black supporting Obama? Well I guarantee you much of what Mrs. Obama discusses in this interview is part of why dude is not getting near as much political support from blacks as maybe he should.
NOW having said that, as dude says at the end of the video clip “blacks are under no obligation to support him, based solely on his race.” That would just be stupid. Also Hillary was married to “the first black president,” and black folks are very loyal, LOL!
Again, what I have said in another post today and have been saying all along, a black man has ZERO chance of being president. And make no mistake I’m not the only black dude who would say this. I’m just up front about it, whereas most black people would keep this to themselves or would only say this only in the company of other black people.
Michelle Obama is going to get some big time grief for spilling black folks business into the streets. But this black inferiority complex shit is “fo real!” Obama is just another casualty of this ongoing psychological struggle in the minds of way too many black folks.
A great deal of blacks, typically the “less educated” will hitch to that Hillary train no matter what.
They know that train will take them much further in their minds. Black folks you see are “limited” in how far they can go.

Sorry, but this is complete bullshit. The only reason blacks are not voting for Obama is because Hiliary is running. There are more black women then men and for god sakes, its Bill’s wife. Now if it was John Edwards and Obama….John Edwards wouldnt have a chance in hell of gain black support over Obama. So, lets not make it seem that he isnt getting voted for by blacks because he is black…if that was the case then black mayors in maority black cities wouldnt be elected.

Yes the fact that Hillary is running is a MAJOR factor, as far as this post is concerned tho I would be you that a fair share of black people will not vote for Obama simply because he is black and not because they support the views of Hillary more.
Now having said that, Obama in perception is far removed from your typical average black person in America, he is not views as “black enough” for most black people.
And this is something Michelle Obama should take into consideration if she chooses to make these kinds of statements.
But again, the black inferiority complex is very real, how much it has to do with blacks lack of support for Obama is up for debate.
