Billy Blanks, Wesley Snipes or Pipes, Denzel and Will Smith could all fit into that iconic, existentially transcendental niche however only one man need to be exalted above the likes of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. & Malcolm X: President Barack Obama.
Ten reasons as to why Obama should be venerated to such an extent:
First, his undaunted perseverance through the fires and flames of the inflammatory idiocy that inundates his every waking moment.
Second, political etiquette. It means so much for a grown man, in the public eye to behave in a mature and composed manner - to be African American(read:Black) on top of all that is really a strong message to send.
Third, He represents millions with his disenchanted youth up to his refining focus and wisdom with age. He is the American dream.
Fourth, when taunted by racists, he doesn't directly attack them but strategizes(you know what I mean) and maneuvers beyond their uninspired yet forceful feints.
Fifth, He was a poor student(Apparently??) and became a better student. Eventually, finding prestige, he became a role model of social obligation.
Sixth, we don't currently have a Black Chuck Norris type and the First Black President is an AWESOME pick.
Seventh, Women love him. He is popular because of his refinement. He is hip and in the know. Because he is translatable and loves teachable moments.
Eight, he has no prior kung-fu back ground but offers new and novel ways to be memed; especially with all that he has done.
Ninth, This is our chance to make him as risky/edgy and aggressive as we want him to be. For everyone that complains about his lack of "juevos" they get to imagine him with big ones and just maybe, imagination will influence real life.
And Finally, Tenth, his Chi-town loyalties bring out other Chi-lites like Kanye, Lupe, etc. Who can create positive change with their already existent messages.
Whether you agree with me or not, you must admit that it would be fun to have a running meme of Pres. Obama laying the smack down on all who oppose the U.S.' finer qualities(i.e. freedom and reasonable wealth).
Speak, to me; tell me how you really feel and say it with yo chest!
its all love
