THINK ABOUT IT. BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA JUNIOR - IS HALF KENYAN AND HALF AMERICAN.
HE IS NOT AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN.
- OBAMA SURE HAS FOOLED THE AFRICAN-AMERICANS ONTO THINKING HE'S ONE OF THEM.
- BUT THE SADDEST THING IS THAT AFRICAN-AMERICANS ARE STILL HELD CAPTIVE BY LEFTIST/DEMOCRAT POLICIES.
- POLICIES WHICH HAVE FAILED THEM: THE GREAT SOCIETY AND THE WELFARE STATE JUST ABOUT DESTROYED THE AFRICAN-AMERICAN FAMILY - SOMETHING SLAVERY, AND JIM CROW COULD NOT DO.
YET MOST OF THEM BELIEVE THE PANDERING DEMAGOGUES AND REFUSE TO BREAK FREE OF THE DEMOCRAT MACHINE.
- TO THEIR OWN HARM.
- BTW: OBAMA AND HIS CAMEL ARE SURE AS HECK NOT GONNA LEAD US INTO THE PROMISED LAND.
- QUITE THE OPPOSITE.
- IF WE LET HIM.
Um, which part of Europe is Kenya in again?
ReplyDeleteThose map-makers and geography teachers with their leftist propaganda!
ReplyDeleteHang on...Obama was born in Hawaii. Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't that qualify as American? Or is this just convenient fearmongering?
ReplyDeleteYeah, I thought so.
Heh, this is a satire site riffing on the stereotype of Americans being clueless about geography, right? You're not really that dim, right?
ReplyDelete"Today, to be born an American is to win first prize in the lottery of life. One understands why that might not seem obvious to black people of a certain age: Condi Rice, for example, has childhood memories of a segregated south and racial violence. But that's what makes Obama's association with Wright so significant. He's not from Alabama. He's a biracial middle-class Kenyan-Kansan Hawaiian-born Indonesian-raised Columbia and Harvard graduate who chose to immerse himself in the most corrosive and paranoid end of a racial-grievance ghetto mentality that is nothing to do with him, his family or his upbringing. He doesn't have the same excuse as a Jackson, Sharpton or Farrakhan.
ReplyDeleteWhy would he do such a thing? I wouldn't expose my kids to the four-letter ravings of Jeremiah Wright because I wouldn't want them to grow up loathing their country. I find it hard not to think less of a man who does."
THAT'S MARK STEYN, MAKING THE SAME POINT AS ME.
OBAMA IS NOT AN AFRICAN-AMEREICAN THE WAY CONDI IS - OR THE WAY JESSE JACKSON IS.
HE IS A KENYAN AMERICAN - WITHOUT ANY DIRECT OR FAMILIAL EXPERIENCE OF SLAVERY, JIM CROW, OR THE CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT.
HE HAS CONVINCED AFRICAN-AMERICANS THAT HE'S ONE OF THEM - AND HE JOINED THE WRIGHT/RACIST CHURCH OF CHICAGO TO HELP ACCOMPLISH THAT.
BUT ANYONE WHO BELIEVE THIS MAN IS AFRICAN-AMERICAN - INT HE SENSE OF THE TERM AS IT HAS BEEN USED FOR 40 YEARS - IS MISTAKEN.
YOU LEFTIES ARE TOO DUPED TO GET THAT.
PITY.
AND I MARCHED WITH DR MLK JR.
SO ANYONE WHO HARBORS ANY THOUGHT THAT I AM RACIST CAN FUCK OFF.
The African-American label is appropriate ONLY for those who do not know the birthplace of their father.
ReplyDeleteSince most blacks came to America via slave trade the term is appropriate.
However, if your father was born abroad and you know his ancestry (say Italian), and he became a citizen of America, he is an Italian-American and his son is an American of Italian descent.
In the case of Obama, since his father abandoned the USA, his son can refer to himself as a Kenyan-American.
In reality all blacks (descended form slaves) should refer to themselves as Americans of African descent but I'll give them a pass on that point.
Obama has no more right than I, a Caucasian to be referred to as an African-American, and it is abhorrent that HE did not correct this error long ago.
Interestingly, if the race and ancestry of Obama's parent's were reversed, it would be inappropriate to refer to him as either an African-American or a Kenyan-American as it is only the father's origin that determines how you can be identified, regardless of you skin color.
If I am incorrect in any of my points, please let me know.
Another point. Hyphenated American designations are intended for individual identification ONLY. Saying that a school has a large African-American population is incorrect. They have a large black population, as you do not know family origin.
ReplyDeleteI believe white liberals incorrect use of the term; African-American is most likly caused by a desire to "honor" the black man and woman for past indignities heaped upon them. So, each time they say "African-American" it is a sublime apology to ease their conscience.
Guilt is not a good enough reason to dumb down our society by causing the masses to misuse and misunderstand proper terminology, is it?
