I Don't Need Your Love Part 3




"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars.
Darkness cannot drive out darkness: Only Light Can Do That. Hate cannot drive out hate: Only Love can do that."
- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.


First and foremost, shout-out to President Barack O'Bama for doing the most American thing an Amercian could do en lieu of his "birther right" controversy, and that's bring some closure to arguably the single-most collectively affective tragedy in this country's history.

But are we back in the late 1800's to early 1900's? I mean following the announcement of the murder of Bin Laden had folks on the streets celebrating like America as a whole won the Super Bowl...and they were celebrating a murder!!!!! I felt like people's thirst for blood turned into a public spectacle reminded me of the stories described in public hangings!

I'm not discounting that what Obama did was disgustingly despicable, but the twin towers aren't coming back up anytime soon, the 3000+ that perished in the buildings aren't walking through those resurrected doors, and the millions of people that were affected will still have their demons. At the end of the day, it's still Osama 5,003,000---USA 1.

So the big bad America is rejoicing over moral victories now? Come on America, I thought we were better than that. And even in the midst of the celebrating, people (mostly Re-Pubs and Obama haters) are still hesitant in giving Barack his props. They want to attribute the old administration (even though "W" Bush dismissed the imperativeness of trekking Bin Laden down six months after "9/11").
That's all a spill-over effect of speculation from the "Birther Rights" controversy. As my old man, Dr. M.E. Dyson says, "the skepticism is interconnected."

And I'm not saying the timing of this announcement is ironic or coincidental; the conspiracy theorist in me suggests that it's more suspicious than anything. In the ultimate PR move of clowning Donald Trump with the help of Seth Meyers regarding the citizenship of the Pres, I thought that scandal was tastefully and tactfully laid to rest. But it was almost as if the President had this 'ace in the hole (Bin Laden)' and was like, "you know what, it's time to ether any doubt of my patriotism....yo Michelle, Im about to crank that 'Bin Laden is dead up.'.....Watch me youuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

And to kill 2 birds with one stone, not only did he alert the world Bin Laden was dead, he non-verbally confirmed that he is indeed a black American. In a press conference that was scheduled at 10:30 pm, he promptly came out circa midnight. Can we say "color people time."?

In closing, the only shady part of the whole operation was the lack of proof. They told us back in the day man walked the moon, and people still to this day don't believe that, and they had somewhat proof. If it wasn't for a couple of snap-shots of a dude allegedly being Osama with his eyeballs gorged out, we wouldn't know. We still dont know, I guess we have to take the government's word.

I'm just tripping at how we handled the Bin Laden body. American's, we need proof. And preferably, we'd want him alive to answer our questions, to be accountable, and to be alive so we could subsequently and appropriately bring him to justice. They (the gov't) took all the fun. And if the gov't is going to be all gangster with it, all of a sudden we caught an epiphany of etiquette and afforded him the luxury of a proper Muslim burial (washing him, clothing him and dumping him in the Adriatic Sea).

You can't be a little bit pregnant. If you're going to be gangster, go all the way. But I'm not knocking the President. "W" Bush did declare 10 years ago in his bounty that he wanted "Bin Laden, dead or alive." Mission accomplished, just remember who did the dam thang. Most American's wouldn't care if you were from Mars or the Matrix if you were the one responsible in bringing Osama to justice or death.


Some people in certain parts of the world may consider Bin Laden a martyr, so we should be vigilant and expect the worse this point forward.

God Bless Us All
