The President, when he was a candidate in 2008 used race-baiting to create false racism charges against the Bush adminstration and against the white government. He spoke down to a black audience, using a phoney Georgia accent, which Col. West noted was marvelous because Obama was raised in Hawaii, not the American South. (Here). The accent was simply acknowledging a mistaken attribution about intellectual weakness in the minds of the black students who candidate Obama was knowingly misleading. Obama played into the sterotype of the” dumb blacks” full force. Obama therby insulted every individual in the audience. “The Accent, …. The Anger … The Accusations” summarized some of the candidates serious charges against White Washington but the racially charged rhetoric was designed to ignite smoldering passions which most people have overcome.
