"The Proper Criticism of Some Decent People"

"A Candid, Unblinking, Unapologetic, Uncompromising Look at the Leadership Crisis in Black America and the Impact on the Leadership of America"
By Dr. Theophilus Green

(Dr. Theophilus Green is a clinical and forensic psychologist who now works with many victims and advocacy groups of those affected by Catholic clergy child sexual abuse. He is a former Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago Tribune and Ebony and Jet magazine editor.)

“None of us are born with prejudice. It is not a human response or reaction that comes naturally. Yet, it is a practice that has persisted for nearly five hundred years in what is now the United States of America.” With those words, Chicago psychologist Dr. Theophilus Green begins an unflinching analysis of virtually every major luminary to influence American civil rights in the last fifty years. With uncommon results:

- On Rev. Jesse Jackson: It is embarrassing to later discover that Rev. Jackson’s real motive for going to Washington to counsel the President may have been the opportunity to go skipping down the hotel halls to play with his own girlfriend, who was unlike Lewinsky, pregnant.

- On Former U.S. Sen. Carol Moseley-Braun: Ultimately, finally and unfortunately, Sen. Carol Moseley-Braun was always alone. Top the heap, queen of the roost, best seat in the best game in town. She was also the poster woman for every black woman in America. No man, no strong family, no strong support group, surrounded by manipulators, schemers and cons. It’s a wonder she survived it at all.

- On Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley: Say what you want about the Mayor of Chicago, his abuse of privilege, the under the table contracts, the investigations that never seem to result in indictments. He can’t pronounce the language and only plays fair for a fare. But you have to give the man his due. He takes second to no one in raising a man. Stand up and give the family just applause. His son Patrick Daley is a man for all the right reasons. (“Well done, young man, well done.”) Well done, indeed. "

On page 238, he discusses Barack Obama....
"Want proof? Illinois US Senator Barack Obama is a part of the Chicago Mob and they protect their own, particularly in the local press. The Chicago-Sun Times and The Chicago Tribune and particularly the black owned Chicago Defender, as well as every tax paying American in Chicago should be offended at both the reception given Obama and the expectation of Africans during his visits to that continent, which are based on his race alone. But then, Sen. Barack Obama is like all American politicians--more concerned about Africans starving in Africa than Americans unemployed in America. That is why Obama went to Africa to receive his accolades, while Americans were dying in a war to get theirs.
Obama is lionized in America because he was the first black senator unafraid to admit he was black and was sympathetic to the issues of Black Americans even though he offered no bills to address their unique difficulties. But he was elected because he is a part of the Chicago Mob. And like a loyal member, he keeps his mouth shut on mob activities. None in the local political mob of Illinois will speak out about Catholic clergy child sex abuse, the moratorium on the death penalty, the abuse of legal practices against African-Americans by a criminally flawed state legal system. That is, none will speak without the permission of the Pope, the mayor or the political appointee in charge at the time. Just so's you know, when a black American Senator receives that kind of treatment in his own country, much less his own state, then it'll mean something more than the prospect of more American dollars going to another foreign country at the direct expense of every American family."

No facts to support these claims, just an interesting point of view.
Not saying I agree or disagree.
