RE: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Obama Wandirasa? Is Obama truly pro-black?

Moses:

 

Some of us have written about the effects of colonialism in Africa, but I think the time has come to call into question the nefarious and blood-sucking activities of our contemporary political leaders who have become the killers of our postcolonial aspirations and aims.

Kwabena,

I salute you for having the patience to humor the Obama obsessions of our people. Our own rulers are decimating the humanity and resources of our countries and all we do is blame he president of ANOTHER country, who is busy grappling with the problem is his own country. What nonsense!! Is this how we hope to reclaim our countries, by externalizing our problems and looking to the elected president of ANOTHER country for solutions?

Olu,

 

What have our own African governments done for us? Fighting over state lands, buying cars and aeroplanes, building palaces at home and acquiring mansions overseas, sending their families and girl-friends overseas, claiming titles, stashing wealth overseas, etc. Leave Obama alone and blame our pen-armed robbers!

The day Barack Obama stood on that podium in 2009 accepting the 44^th Presidential nomination of the United States of America, how many Africans within the international community that day would have thought that George. W. Bush would have achieved more for Africa rather than Africa's own son?

Barack Obama, the embodiment of everything liberal within the United States has only managed to produce a lukewarm variation of a moderate conservative President at best. Was his election just a feel good bumper-sticker moment for the world? Where Black people bamboozled by the skin color to vote as a single voting bloc for President Obama?

As I wrote this piece on Obama from North America, it pained me to chronicle a growing black view albeit a minority based view within the ghetto of America. Community elders have been furtively concealing dialogue amongst the underprivileged community; for at least the last two years of Obama's previous administration, why? Read More
