Why Can Barack use his Name as a Prop in DNC Speech in 2004, but We Cannot Use it Now?
Let’s check the use of his name as a prop in the 2004 DNC speech to once and for all end the bullshit name calling about Hillary and her minions and the “right wing hate machine” obliging him by honoring his parents’ wishes:
They would give me an African name, Barack, or ”blessed,” believing that in a tolerant America your name is no barrier to success. They imagined—They imagined me going to the best schools in the land, even though they weren’t rich, because in a generous America you don’t have to be rich to achieve your potential…
It’s the hope of slaves sitting around a fire singing freedom songs; the hope of immigrants setting out for distant shores; the hope of a young naval lieutenant bravely patrolling the Mekong Delta; the hope of a millworker’s son who dares to defy the odds; the hope of a skinny kid with a funny name who believes that America has a place for him, too.
If the skinny kid’s parents gave him a funny name believing that in a tolerant America your name is no barrier to success, I would hate to deny the wishes of his parents and not call him openly and loudly by that name that they gave him. It is no barrier to success in my mind, so why should he and others be afraid to call him by his full name?
I believe in hope. In change. Isn’t Barack all about changing all these negatives of the world and getting us to sit around the fire and hold hands and sing together?
His parents named him Barack Hussein Obama. The fact that you don’t like him being refered to by his name is something you should probably take up with his parents, though they are dead now. Tell them that their hope was misplaced. That their dream of equality is dead too. That they effed up and screwed their Messiah son out of his place in history by giving him a “funny name”. Put this at their feet.
