Dr. Wilmer Leon Gives Obama Advice on Policies
Dr. Wilmer J. Leon III, Your Black World
Early on the campaign trail, presidential candidate Barack Obama said, "This country is ready for a transformative politics of the sort that John F. Kennedy, Ronald Reagan and Franklin Roosevelt represented." Socially, President Obama is beginning to move in such a positive transformative direction.
After 12 years of languishing in Congress, on Wednesday, October 28, President Obama signed into law the Matthew Shepard / James Byrd Hate Crimes Bill. By signing this bill, the president expands the federal definition of hate crimes to include those motivated by gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and disability. It also allows federal authorities to pursue hate-crimes cases when local authorities are either unable or unwilling to do so. This law was named after Matthew Shepard, a gay man murdered in Wyoming in 1998, and James Byrd, the African-American man dragged to his death behind a pickup truck in Texas that same year.
Transformative indeed. Education is key to getting out of poverty. Blacks consistently support the elimination of competition in public education, and blindly support teachers’ unions (plantation owners). Obama is against vouchers. Do the math!
Are we now clairvoyant? Can mankind look into the mind of other and judge whether or not hate did or did not drive one to murder and violence? We cannot peer into the minds of sick individuals willing to discard human life for the roots of their hatred. They are all hate crimes. We are all unique. We can blame hate for terminations from corporations, abortions, suicides and any other incident we choose to apply the law. Mankind is in no position to judge mankind. We are seeking the “Death Penalty” for comfort and convenience. This is wrong. This is sweet revenge.
