I
am on the road touring with Tea Party Express. In my hotel room, I caught
an interview with first lady Michelle Obama on “Lift Every Voice,”
a faith-based program on BET (Black Entertainment Television). I was amazed
at how the black host and program producers portrayed Mrs. Obama and her
husband as the couple they want to believe them to be – that is,
strongly committed Christians.
In reality,
Obama
is the most anti-Christian president in U.S. History. Obama's behavior
is irrelevant to the TV program producers. I felt like I was watching
an episode of the Twilight Zone in which everything was the opposite of
reality.
What
on earth is going on in the hearts and minds of most black Americans in
regard to Obama? Why are a majority of blacks apparently incapable of
honestly
accessing President Obama's job performance?
In past
articles, I blamed The Black Code (never side with whites against a fellow
black) and plain old basic black racism for black America's blind loyalty
to Obama. However, I must confess that I find myself wondering if something
more sinister figures into the mix; a spiritual thing.
The
Bible says, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but
against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness
of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
Is black
America bewitched by Obama? Frankly, I do not know. All I know is something
really strange is going on in the psyche of many of my fellow blacks regarding
Obama, making it impossible for them to honestly critique his job performance
or who he is as a person.
