Jneuman is 100% correct. Obama IS a "cult of personality". There is no substance and no leadership. I think the contrast of the "Personalities" that were paired up was genius. The reviled and the beloved. Lastly, the MLK reference in the video occurred at the only time in the song where the term "leader" was used. "Leader" vs "personality". A true leader, like MLK, who is advocating for people to stand up, be responsible and not rely on others to solve your problems for you is contrary to the "cult of personality" and that leader must be crushed. If you actually read MLK's writings, you would know that he must be rolling in his grave now considering the way the African American community has largely subjugated themselves to liberal policies of dependence on the government. They have placed themselves back into the chains of dependence on others, low self-esteem and self-respect, feeling of futility and anger, etc. |

The same thing could be said for those who mindlessly follow progressive/liberal ideals. Case in point, the fact that 95% of African/Americans support liberal politicians who promise the world and deliver nothing. Yet, they continue to support them despite all of the failures. Nobody can solve your problems for you. Politicians are not interested in doing that anyway - they would lose their power over you if they succeeded. |

Pretty much dead on to my interpretation with one exception: "When a leader speaks, that leader dies" He says "leader"....any true leader is a threat to the "cult of personality"....so that leader must be crushed. Combined with the images of MLK in their video when those lines are sung, it sends a powerful message. The overall point, IMO, is that no politician can solve your problems for you. Even if it was possible for them to do that, it would be counter to their best interest to do so - they would lose their power over you. |
