Obama, the African Colonial

American Thinker ^ | June 25, 2009 | L.E. Ikenga

Had Americans been able to stop obsessing over the color of Barack Obama's skin and instead paid more attention to his cultural identity, maybe he would not be in the White House today. The key to understanding him lies with his identification with his father, and his adoption of a cultural and political mindset rooted in postcolonial Africa.

Like many educated intellectuals in postcolonial Africa, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. was enraged at the transformation of his native land by its colonial conqueror. But instead of embracing the traditional values of his own tribal cultural past, he embraced an imported Western ideology, Marxism. I call such frustrated and angry modern Africans who embrace various foreign "isms", instead of looking homeward for repair of societies that are broken, African Colonials. They are Africans who serve foreign ideas.

The tropes of America's racial history as a way of understanding all things black are useless in understanding the man who got his dreams from his father, a Kenyan exemplar of the African Colonial.

Before I continue, I need to say this: I am a first generation born West African-American woman whose parents emigrated to the U.S. in the 1970's from the country now called Nigeria. I travel to Nigeria frequently. I see myself as both a proud American and as a proud Igbo (the tribe that we come from -- also sometimes spelled Ibo). Politically, I have always been conservative (though it took this past election for me to commit to this once and for all!); my conservative values come from my Igbo heritage and my place of birth. Of course, none of this qualifies me to say what I am about to -- but at the same time it does.

My friends, despite what CNN and the rest are telling you, Barack Obama is nothing more than an old school African Colonial who is on his way to turning this country into one of the developing nations that you learn about on the National Geographic Channel. Many conservative (East, West, South, North) African-Americans like myself -- those of us who know our history -- have seen this movie before. Here are two main reasons why many Americans allowed Obama to slip through the cracks despite all of his glaring inconsistencies:

First, Obama has been living on American soil for most of his adult life. Therefore, he has been able to masquerade as one who understands and believes in American democratic ideals. But he does not. Barack Obama is intrinsically undemocratic and as his presidency plays out, this will become more obvious. Second, and most importantly, too many Americans know very little about Africa. The one-size-fits-all understanding that many Americans (both black and white) continue to have of Africa might end up bringing dire consequences for this country.

Contrary to the way it continues to be portrayed in mainstream Western culture, Africa is not a continent that can be solely defined by AIDS, ethnic rivalries, poverty and safaris. Africa, like any other continent, has an immense history defined by much diversity and complexity. Africa's long-standing relationship with Europe speaks especially to some of these complexities -- particularly the relationship that has existed between the two continents over the past two centuries. Europe's complete colonization of Africa during the nineteenth century, also known as the Scramble for Africa, produced many unfortunate consequences, the African colonial being one of them.

The African colonial (AC) is a person who by means of their birth or lineage has a direct connection with Africa. However, unlike Africans like me, their worldviews have been largely shaped not by the indigenous beliefs of a specific African tribe but by the ideals of the European imperialism that overwhelmed and dominated Africa during the colonial period. AC's have no real regard for their specific African traditions or histories.  AC's use aspects of their African culture as one would use pieces of costume jewelry: things of little or no value that can be thoughtlessly discarded when they become a negative distraction, or used on a whim to decorate oneself in order to seem exotic. (Hint: Obama's Muslim heritage).

On the other hand, AC's strive to be the best at the culture that they inherited from Europe. Throughout the West, they are tops in their professions as lawyers, doctors, engineers, Ivy League professors and business moguls; this is all well and good. It's when they decide to engage us as politicians that things become messy and convoluted.

The African colonial politician (ACP) feigns repulsion towards the hegemonic paradigms of Western civilization. But at the same time, he is completely enamored of the trappings of its aristocracy or elite culture. The ACP blames and caricatures whitey to no end for all that has gone wrong in the world. He convinces the masses that various forms of African socialism are the best way for redressing the problems that European colonialism motivated in Africa. However, as opposed to really being a hard-core African Leftist who actually believes in something, the ACP uses socialist themes as a way to disguise his true ambitions: a complete power grab whereby the "will of the people" becomes completely irrelevant.

Barack Obama is all of the above. The only difference is that he is here playing (colonial) African politics as usual.  

In his 1995 memoir, Dreams From My Father -- an eloquent piece of political propaganda -- Obama styles himself as a misunderstood intellectual who is deeply affected by the sufferings of black people, especially in America and Africa. In the book, Obama clearly sees himself as an African, not as a black American. And to prove this, he goes on a quest to understand his Kenyan roots. He is extremely thoughtful of his deceased father's legacy; this provides the main clue for understanding Barack Obama.

Barack Obama Sr. was an African colonial to the core; in his case, the apple did not fall far from the tree. All of the telltale signs of Obama's African colonialist attitudes are on full display in the book -- from his feigned antipathy towards Europeans to his view of African tribal associations as distracting elements that get in the way of "progress".  (On p. 308 of Dreams From My Father, Obama says that African tribes should be viewed as an "ancient loyalties".)

Like imperialists of Old World Europe, the ACP sees their constituents not as free thinking individuals who best know how to go about achieving and creating their own means for success. Instead, the ACP sees his constituents as a flock of ignorant sheep that need to be led -- oftentimes to their own slaughter.

Like the European imperialist who spawned him, the ACP is a destroyer of all forms of democracy.

Here are a few examples of what the British did in order to create (in 1914) what is now called Nigeria and what Obama is doing to you: 

1. Convince the people that "clinging" to any aspect of their cultural (tribal) identity or history is bad and regresses the process of "unity". British Imperialists deeply feared people who were loyal to anything other than the state. "Tribalism" made the imperialists have to work harder to get people to just fall in line. Imperialists pitted tribes against each other in order to create chaos that they then blamed on ethnic rivalry. Today many "educated" Nigerians, having believed that their traditions were irrelevant, remain completely ignorant of their ancestry and the history of their own tribes.
2. Confiscate the wealth and resources of the area that you govern by any means necessary in order to redistribute wealth. The British used this tactic to present themselves as empathetic and benevolent leaders who wanted everyone to have a "fair shake". Imperialists are not interested in equality for all. They are interested in controlling all.  
3. Convince the masses that your upper-crust university education naturally puts you on an intellectual plane from which to understand everything even when you understand nothing. Imperialists were able to convince the people that their elite university educations allowed them to understand what Africa needed. Many of today's Nigerians-having followed that lead-hold all sorts of degrees and certificates-but what good are they if you can't find a job?   
4. Lie to the people and tell them that progress is being made even though things are clearly becoming worse.  One thing that the British forgot to mention to their Nigerian constituents was that one day, the resources that were being used to engineer "progress" (which the British had confiscated from the Africans to begin with!) would eventually run out. After WWII, Western Europe could no longer afford to hold on to their African colonies. So all of the counterfeit countries that the Europeans created were then left high-and-dry to fend for themselves. This was the main reason behind the African independence movements of the1950 and 60's. What will a post-Obama America look like?
5. Use every available media outlet to perpetuate the belief that you and your followers are the enlightened ones-and that those who refuse to support you are just barbaric, uncivilized, ignorant curmudgeons.  This speaks for itself.

America, don't be fooled. The Igbos were once made up of a confederacy of clans that ascribed to various forms of democratic government. They took their eyes off the ball and before they knew it, the British were upon them. Also, understand this: the African colonial who is given too much political power can only become one thing: a despot.

Will read in a bit. Looks as though it all comes together, tied in a bow. Where does faggotry come in, though. Well, that is an undercurrent in Islam.

[little jeremiah]

We must forever be thankful to Malcolm X for paving the way for the new Islam Proletarian Islam. That we are now building and which will ultimately liberate the Black Nation and the Islamic ummah and the overall third world in general. the religion of Islam is now the fastest growing religion in the world and this is very much so in North America within the Black Nation Islam was the religion of our African ancestors who built such glorious Black Islamic civilizations such as the Moorish empire of north Africa and Spain as well as the west African Islamic states of Ghana Mali and Songhai Kanem Bornu among many other great Black Islamic Empires and kingdoms in Africa. the black youth are now embracing the great Islamic heritage of our African ancestors. as is show by the widespread and rapid spread of Islam within the many Black inner city communities across north America and now we are seeing the spread of Islam within rural Black communities within the United State as well the Black Nation has no permanent future under the rule of the White United States government we must now separate and form our own independent Black Nation right here in North America. the only way that we can win and gain our independent Black State is though the means of a Chinese style Maoist People War like the one that Chairman Mao Zedong led to victory in China over some 40 years ago. Black youth have shown by the LA Rebellion that they are ready willing and able to wage violent armed struggle against the United State Government.

Don’t try to read it all, it’s just a muslim wall of words. It’s the combination of names that’s telling. It starts with Marcus Garvey, W.E.B. Du Bois, runs through every african marxist we have named - through to Malcom X and his buddy Sukarno...the attendees at the Bandung Conference in Indonesia, and ends up as the Organisation of African Unity Malcolm X planned to establish before he was assassinated.

Islam - using the blacks and the marxists. Malcolm X was a tool.

[little jeremiah]

Oh good, I thought I had to read the whole wall of text. I tried, and did get the gist.

Islam plus commies plus black “hate whitey” guys equals - ZERO!!!!

[Fred Nerks]

YOU GOT IT!

[thouworm]

Tell me you actually read that! :-)

Either English is not this author’s first language...or it is the product of an unstable mind...or both.

Then again, I assume you posted it because first language/unstable mind, notwithstanding, the thoughts expressed reflect ideology far more pervasive and deeply held by a wide variety of peoples of seemingly sound minds...yet equally unhinged, nevertheless.

I started to edit to make readable, but it is a daunting task I will try to finish later.

From 1961 to 1962, Angelou was the associate editor of the only English-language news weekly in the Middle East, the Arab Observer, in Cairo, Egypt. Angelou and Make divorced in 1963, and from 1964 to 1966, she was the feature editor of the African Review in Accra, Ghana.

Angelou left Ghana when her friend Malcolm X (El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz) asked her to join him in New York and help him create an Organization of African-American Unity. As soon as she arrived, she phoned him to tell him that she would first spend time with her family in California. Within 48 hours came the devastating news of Malcolm's assassination.

With the help of her wise mother, her beloved brother and her loyal sister-friends, she picked herself up and found work: singing in a Hawaii nightclub and doing market research in Watts, the black area of Los Angeles. In 1965 she watched, deliberately courting arrest, as the area erupted into violent riots.

Thanks for the post and the link. Read the whole thing. Is this what lies between BO’s ears?

[Fred Nerks]

Between fanatical muslim ears...I guess it’s the idea behind ‘The Arab Spring’ thing. Muslims and workers of the world unite. Democracy/Mob Rule/Sharia.

EXCERPT:

Frank Marshall Davis was an active member of the Communist Party in Hawaii, even after it went formally underground in 1950, when he assumed chairmanship of a tiny cell known as Group #10. Later Davis joined in the infiltration of the Hawaii Democratic Party, serving in 1950, as Assistant Secretary and Delegate to the Territorial Democratic Convention in his Precinct Club – Third Precinct of the Fifth District.

Davis was also later observed by the FBI on several occasions photographing remote shorelines and beachfronts, possibly for intelligence purposes. The FBI continued to monitor Davis into the 1960s and he was placed on the “Security Index.” This meant Davis was marked for immediate arrest should war break out between the U.S. and the Soviet Union.

While the Communist Party in Hawaii faded into the Democratic party and the International Longshore Workers Union, there is no evidence that Frank Marshall Davis ever stopped being a communist. As late as 1973, three years after Davis met and began mentoring the 10 year old Barack Obama, he was still listed as an endorser of one of the party’s oldest fronts, the Committee for Protection of Foreign Born.

Ah, from Trevor Loudon. I’ve seen a couple of his pieces before. I’ve got to bookmark his site.

Trevor Loudon is an incredible researcher. I’ve got his site saved now.

The commie connection is so inescapably crystal clear.

And FMD is so patently not any blood kin to Zero I laugh when people opine that he’s the bio-dad.

Whenever I see the percentages of voters who claim that they'd still vote for Obama, the question is, "WHO are these people?"

I came up with the answer: "The same people who were on OJ's JURY."

ORIGIN OF THE NAME SHABAZZ

COMMENT SOURCE

from Wikipedia, on Yacob and the NATION OF ISLAM:

“Yakub (Nation of Islam)

Yakub (sometimes spelled Yacub or Yakob) is according to the Nation of Islam, a black scientist who lived “6,600 years ago” and was responsible for creating the white race to be a “race of devils”. The Nation of Islam theology claims that Yakub is the biblical Jacob.

The story

Yakub is said to have been born in what would become Mecca (Founded in 2000 B.C.) at a time when 30% of original black people were “dissatisfied”. He was a member of the Meccan branch of the Tribe of Shabazz.At the age of six, he discovered the law of attraction and repulsion by playing with magnets made of steel.[1] This insight led to a dastardly plan to create a new people. He “saw an unlike human being, made to attract others, who could, with the knowledge of tricks and lies, rule the original black man.”[1] By the age of 18 he had exhausted all knowledge in the universities of Mecca. He then discovered that the “original black man” contained both a “black germ” and a “brown germ”. With 59,999 followers he went to the island of Patmos, where he established a despotic regime and set about breeding out the black traits, killed all darker babies and created a brown race after 200 years. After 600 years of this deliberate eugenics the white race was created.[2]

According to The Autobiography of Malcolm X, all the races other than the black race were byproducts of Yakub’s work, however, the “black race” included all Asian peoples, considered to be shared ancestors of the Moors. “Whites” were defined as Europeans. The latter category includes such Black Jews as Beta Israel.

According to NOI doctrine, Yakub’s progeny were destined to rule for 6,000 years before the original black peoples of the world regained dominance, a process that had begun in 1914.[3][4][5]

The Autobiography further notes that, in Malcolm X’s travels in the Middle East, many Muslims reacted with shock upon hearing about the doctrine of Yakub, which, while present in NOI theology, does not appear in mainstream Islam.[page needed]

The African-American author and playwright Amiri Baraka’s play A Black Mass takes inspiration from the story of Yakub.”

You know, when I think I have seen the utmost, moronic crap that the human mind can produce, I am then surprised by something coming out of the pie hole of Farrakan, et al, that tells me, "No, wait. You have yet to see the fetid depths of the human psyche. Try this one on for size" and I see something of a banality that could only spring from the depths of the foam rubber minds of Bert and Ernie or, perhaps, Big Bird, as absurd as scientology and with even less historicity than Joseph Smith's youthful emissions.
