The N-word and why black power could keep Obama out of the White House
dailymail.co.uk ^ | July 18, 2008 | Philip Delves Broughton

Posted on 07/19/2008 5:18:28 PM PDT by Free ThinkerNY

From the moment Barack Obama appeared on America's national political stage, he was always going to be a controversial figure.

A half-white, half-black man with the poise and rhetorical flights of a Kennedy. A Harvard graduate abandoned by his Kenyan father to be raised by a single white mother. A man with the middle name Hussein running for the White House in post-9/11 America.

Yet, what few could have imagined was the degree of animus he would stir within America's own black community - and, in particular, its African-American leaders.

This week, it was revealed that the Rev. Jesse Jackson, for decades the dominant voice in black politics, had made an off-the-cuff remark into a TV microphone he thought was turned off that Obama was 'talking down to black people - telling n*****s how to behave'.

Jackson's remarks were prompted by a speech the Democrat Presidential candidate had made to a black church in which he dared to criticise young blacks for not completing school and being poor fathers.

'Too many fathers are Missing In Action. Too many blacks are AWOL, missing from too many lives and too many homes. They have abandoned their responsibilities, acting like boys instead of men. And the foundations of our families are weaker because of it,' Obama had said.

Jackson, a former Democrat Presidential candidate himself, has suddenly detonated the race issue which has stalked Obama's every step towards the White House. His use of the explosive N-word - commonplace among young blacks in rap music and entertainment - is extraordinary in a political context, and sent America's liberal commentators into paroxysms.

News bulletins carried warnings that viewers were about to hear a dreadful racial epithet.

Had any white public (or even private) figure used the N-word, they would have been destroyed overnight.

The original provenance of the names John (Yahweh is gracious) and David (beloved) is Hebrew.

BTW, David, in its many variants is also a common Islamic name. Does that mean these Muslims are really of Hebrew ancestry?

How quickly you forget that Kenya is Mau Mau country!

Yup, but the Mau Mau were Kikuyu and Obama's family is Luo.

They don't get along.

I’m not sure why you posted this.

1. It refers to Africans along the coastal belt. The Luo live on exactly the opposite side of Kenya, as far as you can get from the longstanding Arab influence on the coast.

2. It points out that many Africans of mixed “Negro” (for lack of a better term” and Arab ancestry, or even pure Negro ancestry, try to “pass” as Arabs. This would seem to put a pretty good sized monkey wrench into the theory that conversion to Islam and using Muslim names means that the Obama family “must be” of Arab ethnicity.

I don't care if he's black.

I do care that he has surrounded himself for many, many years with Black Panther-esque characters. His pastor, his friends, his wife, his followers.

For that, plus his socialism and his lack of experience, he's a really crappy candidate for president of the United States.

potted history of the period:

http://www.pbase.com/perrona/image/86057566

and nothing is ever quite as black and white as you might wish it to be.

I will quote from the book The White Nile and allow you to read between the lines.

‘Gladstone said that he was prepared to take a chance with Zobeir, even though he was bound to face a vote of no confidence in the House. Queen Victoria was consulted and approved. But the other members of the Cabinet were much alarmed; already the public had been asked to swallow Gordon’s proclamation legalizing slavery in the Sudan and now it was altogether too much to expect them to accept the employment of “the greatest slave-hunter who ever existed” ...up to this point the correspondence about Zobeir had been kept secret....

The press can sugarcoat it all they want, but the issue of race coupled with political correctness is ever present, in its most damaging condescending form.

Perhaps the best example is Hugh Hewitt, who claims to be neutral and evenhanded, making the absurd statement that made me literally cringe. Paraphrasing, "The election will, for better or for worse be decided by black pride and white racism..."

If you can't see the problem with that sentence structure -- the choice of words and phrasing --- you are part of the problem.

In 1958, Obama Senior was awarded an American sponsored scholarship in economics to the University of Hawaii at Manoa. He was selected by a former Kenyan cabinet minister, the late Tom Mboya, who was earmarked as the successor to Jomo Kenyatta, Kenya’s first prime minister and leader of the terrorist Mau Mau.

MOHAMED ABDI _ Candidate for Mandera East, Kenya. link.

READER COMMENT. DANIEL PIPES WEBSITE. JANUARY. link. "Having been in Kenya, I can say that the country has benefited, because of it's stability, by a large influx of "European Capital." , in banking, agriculture and the tourist industry. YThis has been a carrot on the stick for Kenya's government to maintain stability, and to that end it has evolved a decent army, which has prevented the infiltration of communist style liberals, who want "power to the people" which in africa, means poverty and violent inter-tribal struggle and the emergence of tribal war lords.

Most of the original Euro capital in Kenya was British but later diversified to South Africans, Rhodesians, Germans, Dutch, Scandanavian, Israeli and British commonwealth investment.

As the Arab nations accumulated vast amounts of capital, they eyed Kenya's Israeli investers who had invested billions of dollars in resorts which are situated on the Inidian Ocean coast between Mombassa and Lamu on the Somalian border. The Jewish presence ticked the Arabs wholesale. Islamofascists went in and attempted to RPG an Isreali airliner a few years ago, killing some Kenyan staff simultaneously in a resort in the Kikambala area.

The ex pat investors circled the wagons to keep the Islamofascists out of Kenya, as they attempted incursions into the Mombassa area. This was successful with the help of Kenya's army. The Muslim council of Kenya and Somalia then decided to support takeover from within Kenya, by financing Odinga, and helping his campaign with infusions of mega bucks. Enter our relative, Obama, to assist.

The idea is to bring in sharia law for the whole of Kenya in order to shut down the Israeli resorts and to nationalize capital assets owned by foreigners, selling them to wealthy Arabs. The resorts now owned by the Israelis will become Arab pleasure palaces ( with the usual array of Muslim slave women from Indonesia, Russia, Palestine etc.), and those Kenyans now working there will become Muslims and enter into the traditional master/slave relationship that has always existed between Arabs and Africans, with some prominant Kenyans as the slave drivers, like Odinga.

Sharia law prevents alcohol, bikinis, and beach bongos. No more tourism. The Israelis will have to sell out to wealthy Arabs, and also risk being bombed and shot otherwise. Kenya will then enter the black hole other African nations have, and lapse into a religious oligarchy and become like Somalia.

The expat investment community in Kenya is in distress. They are on the verge of hiring large groups of mercenaries to defend their property and supplement the Kenyan Army. The Arabs are prepared to fund the Luo and supply then with weaponry so they can usurp power through guerilla warfare, with help from the Sudan and Somalia.Al Qaeda will likely get in on the act.

Obama knows all this, and he chose the side of economic and social devolution. Thats why Obama is not fit to be president of the United States. His close ties with his family and many visits, have made it highly unlikely that he was "unaware " of the dynamic. He is just too intelligent, and too black nationalist to have been duped by Odinga.

So the plan is to bring Kenya into an axis with adjacent Somalia and Sudan, and then Egypt will fall to Islamofascism. Eventually the Arab oil supply nations will be encircled. Thats the plan. Unseat the House of Saud, and recapture Mecca and the Oil Fields for the World Caliphate.

Odinga needs to be brought to justice. He and his Islamofascists need to be tried, and executed according to Kenyan Law for the genocide they have committed. Obama is an International criminal for aiding and abetting this Islamofascist movement, and the Kenyan government should issue a warrant for his arrest. Burning a church full of women and children is simply the beginning you see, for guerilla warfare by the Luo is the next step in the usual Islamofascist evolution.The Luo are a distinct tribal minority, and seek to impose their will on a majority who want nothing to do with their scheme.

Unless Odinga and his henchmen are captured, tried and punished, this will go on for decades, and ruin a perfectly good country. Obama needs to be brought to a very short leash, and should resign his candidacy and his Senate Seat. Then he should be deported to Kenya to allow the Kenyan authorities to deal with him. I am sure he would be an excellent source of information to them.

These truths will never likely be addressed by the US MSM. Obama is their media darling, and thats part of the Obama plan. He can snub his nose at justice, because he is so popular. And if he plays his cards into the presidency, or a vice presidential office, he can help Odinga negotiate and consolidate his power in Kenya.Obama will do the same for other little jumped up African tyrants through supplying " Hope and Change" aid to such idiots, and to Islamofascist organizations, without traducing current law on funding terrorist groups. Soon the US government will be funding terrorist groups. For this reason Obama needs to be stopped now.He is a stone cold Islamofascist."

(Raila Odinga is now the Prime Minister of Kenya.)

It appears Arabs had been trading and intermingling there for hundreds of years.

You are so right...

His mother worked as a journalist at PM, a left-wing 1940s newspaper. His parents separated when he was eight. Axelrod traces his political involvement back to his childhood. Describing the appeal of politics, he told the Los Angeles Times, “I got into politics because I believe in idealism. Just to be a part of this effort that seems to be rekindling the kind of idealism that I knew when I was a kid, it’s a great thing to do. So I find myself getting very emotional about it.” At just 13 years old, he was selling campaign buttons for Robert F. Kennedy.

It appears there were Arab settlements by at least AD 700.

David Axelrod, Obama's mouthpiece, who obviously like Obama has a thin skin.

That’s very true, perhaps trading and intermingling for thousands of years. But the Luo tribe are indigenous east Africans not Arabs.
Arabs are people who speak Arabic.

Yes, that’s true. Arabs from Oman settled in the coastal regions of Kenya but Barack Obama’s family is not from those regions. The Luo people that are Barack Obama Senior’s ancestors are from inland southwestern Kenya near Lake Victoria. The Luo do not speak Arabic. They are not Arabs.
