An excerpt from S. Kurtz's “Wright 101″ –>The adolescent Rites of Passage movement that flowered in the 1990s grew out of the “cultural nationalist” or “Pan-African” thinking popular in radical black circles of the 1960s and 1970s.” (You can find out more if you google “Rites of Passage and Obama” together.) And then take a moment to read the following (an excerpt from Saul Alinsky's Primer for Radicals):

From Rules for Radicals, Alinsky outlines his strategy in organizing, writing:
“There's another reason for working inside the system. Dostoevsky said that taking a new step is what people fear most. Any revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative, non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution.”[2] http://latter-rain.com/ltrain/alinski.htm

Emphasis: They must feel so frustrated, so defeated, so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go of the past and change the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential to any revolution. OKAY. Obama has started a revolution. But do YOU understand which kind of revolution it really is: militant black? progressive liberal? ANYTHING other than what we've had? or is he what he claims to be: Christian, pro-America, catalyst for the right kind of change in the Whitehouse?

How can we KNOW? We can't – we trust, or we don't.
