I just want to ask people to check for themselves what people have come to to be looking at the leader of the worlds largest imperialist power for hope, to be looking to a socially conservative economic rationalist politician, of any physical description, to find a hero?<BR/><BR/>The Brooklyn Socialite hints at what the problem of Obamaphilia is: <BR/>“This kumbayaa spirit, although excellent in general, may not be the best way to get at the complications inherent in any leadership, all governments and certainly the media... As much as I don’t want Fox news, I don’t want the left-centrist-nationalism channel either.” (http://thebrooklynsocialite.wordpress.com/)<BR/><BR/>What’s the point of any ‘alternative’ minded person offering uncritical observation/commentary of ANY political leader, let alone a mainstream conservative one assuming the position that has defined the political agenda of neo-liberalism since neo liberalism was an agenda? We’re going to have to be a lot more critical of our leaders, than we have been of this one, if our social/cultural movements are going to amount to anything.<BR/><BR/>Basically, the predictably mushy response to this guy, to me validates Omali Yeshitele of the African Socialist Internationals’ analysis:<BR/><BR/>“The fact is that the election of Obama to the U.S. presidency represents the highest stage of neocolonialism, white power in black face.<BR/><BR/>As we have seen in Africa and some other places, when our political consciousness develops to the extent that it becomes impossible for imperialist white power to rule us directly, indirect rule or neocolonialism has been employed as a method of undermining our struggle to win our freedom.<BR/><BR/>Instead of imperialism with the white face that had become so hated by our people because of its history of brutality and humiliation, imperialism donned a black face giving the appearance of freedom and progress while our resources remained in the hands of the same imperialist white power as before.”<BR/><BR/>(http://uhurunews.com/story?resource_name=omali-yeshitela-speaks-on-the-election-of-barack-obama-as-u-s-president)<BR/><BR/>Obama has turned out to be the perfect antidote, or more properly placebo, to the rising domestic and international hatred/rejection of the preemptive strike - shoot to kill redneck empire. When we account for peoples politics by their colour or gender, rather than their experience of oppression/class, or more directly - what their politics are, we’re bound to be duped by this shit every time.<BR/><BR/>to read this open letter in full check:<BR/>http://blogs.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog.view&friendID=161556885&blogID=468029752reuben xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13903134990370442099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3957239885294456363.post-5839170976398656782008-12-02T21:45:00.000-08:002008-12-02T21:45:00.000-08:00your blog more info ,make me excited.
