THE GOP RETURNS TO "BIRTH OF A NATION" TACTICS

FEAR IS USED AGAINST THE FIRST BLACK PRESIDENT
BY THE CEO

Fear is back. The movie that made the watermelon famous and the first blockbuster was called, "The Birth of a Nation". The movie depicted black men as beasts and wildly savage animals that had lusted after white women and kept their stomachs full. The latest attempt of imagery is by a politician from a small town in California. The Mayor of Los Alimitos, Dean Grose, claims that he didn't know about the stereotypes of blacks and watermelons when he sent his image of a photoshopped watermelon patch in front of the White House. This mayor has since resigned, but it took alot to gather the photos of watermelons and place them meticulously on the picture of the White House.

This is the same mayor I assume who ran tirelessly on one campaign or another. The same Mayor who took the vote from the people of Los Alimitos and said that he would put it to good use. How do the people of Los Alimitos feel now that the Mayor they voted for has insulted the President of the United States? I would like to hear comments from those voters who thought they were getting gold, but instead got lead. 2009 is hear and we're trying to return to "The Birth of Nation" mentality.

The tactics of the GOP have always been simple. Use watermelons and monkey images and put a Chairman of the RNC, who likes to shuck and jive and then we'll win in 2012. The problem with this plan is that its failing horribly. NewsCorp. is experiencing backlash and had to bring the head honcho Rupert Murdoch out to grovel. The mayor who sent out the email has resigned. Something has changed since the "Birth of Nation". African-american men are not seen in the light anymore. They are seen as doctors, lawyers, artists, athletes, moguls, entreprenuers, teachers, computer technicians ,entertainers and more.

The most important factor that has changed is that the African-american male stereotype is being redefined in real-time with the election of President Obama. The black man is gradually becoming an image all too long they have fought to become. The black man's image is simply becoming an image of a man.
