Why Carol Moseley Braun Could Not Become the Mayor of Chicago
by Dr. Boyce Watkins, Syracuse University – Scholarship in Action
One of the most interesting political events in America was the race to become mayor of Chicago. After yet another seemingly endless regime under the Daley family, black Chicago had a chance to elect one of their own. Carol Moseley Braun, the seasoned politician and history-making former Senator, positioned herself to be the great black hope for the city of Chicago.
Unfortunately, the Moseley-Braun candidacy was simply not meant to be. After a series of missteps, Rahm Emanuel used the power of President Obama’s backing to convince the vast majority of Chicago citizens, white and black, to give him their support. Apparently, unspoken endorsements from Barack Obama and Bill Clinton goes a long way, even if you can’t readily prove that you’ve done very much for the African American community.
It’s really sad to watch blacks destroy their own. Unfortunately the devil in the details is always money, power,and most importantly the “crab-in-the- barrel syndrome” As blacks become more diluted and distrustful of each other the less we are recognized as a viable leader for our people or any other people. Watch how the Hispanics use psychology to twist Rahm’s mind and he will be voting for amnesty and proudly presenting Chicago as the Sanctuary city Daley made for Illegal aliens. As the book of Revelations unfold we are caught in the wrath of powerful white men and their money and newvorish black men who think they have made it only to find out that they were just slaves to a different white philosophy.
