Larry Pinkney commented on Black Agenda Report Glen Ford’s January\u00a022, 2014\u00a0article entitled ‘Black Madness Under Obama: African Americans More Pro-NSA, Anti-Snowden Than Whites and Hispanics’ on January 23, 2014<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Larry Pinkney’s comment:<\/p>\n

THE HYPOCRISY OF DENIAL & COGNITIVE DISSONANCE<\/a>
\nLarry Pinkney\u00a0–\u00a001\/23\/2014 – 14:20
\nGlen Ford is absolutely correct as to the “madness” on the part of a huge portion of Black America, under the insidious misleadership of Barack Obama and his minions. I am reminded of the immortal words of the late Frantz Fanon, who decades\u00a0ago, warned about the ‘cognitive dissonance’ of those who choose\u00a0denial over principles.<\/em><\/p>\n

Back in 2009, in a succinct\u00a0article titled, To Be Black & Head of the U.S. Empire: A Contradiction in Terms,<\/em> [http:\/\/www.russellmeansfreedom.com\/2009\/to-be-black-head-of-the-us-empire-a-contradiction-in-terms\/] the then<\/em> increasing hypocrisy, double standards, and madness of so many so-called “progressives,” including an inordinate amount of Black Americans, in their unprincipled support for Barack Obama, was also specifically alluded to.<\/p>\n

Obviously, this state of affairs is unacceptable and unless it is reversed\u00a0I fear that a large portion of Black America may go down in historical infamy. We’ve much work to do.<\/p>\n
