Obama's Angle, and Why He Might Win
Those readers who know me from market discussions should know that I am by no means bullish on America. Those who are familiar with my views on race should know that I would never celebrate an Obama victory.
But the Mandela Bull Market may be an instructive precedent.
First rule: Follow The Money.
Obama gets much of his backing from anti-Zionist Jews like Soros and other lefty "progressives." Israel, as an honest-to-god nation state -- and a democracy, in the true original Greek sense of the word -- is to some of them an embarrassment, to others an outrage.
(N.B. Those who say that Israel is not a democracy are abusing, for their own domestic multiculti purposes, the definition of a demos, i.e. a people.)
But I think Obama is smarter than they are. He's fully aware of something most of them are not, that race is not just a social or cultural construct. They think they are using him, but he is at least as much using them, and no black man fears for his very soul at a charge of anti-semitism like most white gentiles do. I imagine he is moved by white throngs shouting to him "race doesn't matter" -- a bit like how a meeting with supportive Christians can be moving to an Israeli prime minister.
Now, Zionist American Jews in the last century managed to make criticism of Israel, or even criticism of American involvement with Israel, synonymous with anti-semitism in public discourse. This may have seemed like a good idea at the time, but it is now backfiring.
Unfortunately, to everyone's doom, most gentile whites are probably more willing to be anti-semitic, if indeed anti-semitism this is (I don't think it really is, quite yet) than they are willing to be simply pro-white.
On the one hand, they are tired of war; on the other they don't want to be called "anti-semites." How will that tension be resolved?
They are going to send a black man to stand up and do the job for them; Obama is the left's Ward Connerly.
