Landless and Powerless

I simply cannot believe people have such wild and/or vivid imaginations – with no logic to back it up. I originally concluded I would not comment on the current election process unveiling in the USA. However, emotional black people believe Barrack Obama has the opportunity to become not only the Democratic nominee the presidential candidate but the President of the USA.
My first thought - it is simply preposterous – it is bordering on lunacy. At best; it is simply ludicrous. The rational thought process does not support the possibility. George Lamming, birthed in Barbados, an outstanding African in the Americas, man of the arts, pointed out in the preface to Walter Rodney’s classic epistle, “A History of the Guyanese Working People, 1881-1905”, the arithmetic of democracy does not support the possibility of minority of any nation occupying the highest office of the land – becoming the head of Sate. Rational thoughts would wonder; what really are the demographics supporting the idea – and conceiving thoughts and actions in the efforts to elect Obama president of USA? Historically; the Europeans did not steal this land from the indigenous people they found here – to turn around and give to some Black man
Europeans did not conduct genocidal campaigns against the aboriginals. They did not capture, kidnap, Black People from their ancestral homeland and bring our representatives to slave on plantations, Just to turn around in 2008 – and abandon their way of life – by electing and accepting a Blackman as their Head of State.

Well! Well! My ancestors and our kinships in the last 300 years in western society – are known by European names – therefore, if you begin to refer to me as doubting Thomas, so be it.
What is this fellow Obama parroting, anyway? All I ever hear is the word; change, change, change, - with no substance to it. Barrack Obama’s tune change the American want change is very hollow, indeed. It is a blatant attempt to pander to the young voters. However, I am very familiar with the tune, change gonna come needless to say I prefer Sam Cooke’s anthem over Obama rhetoric. It has body to it. It far more soulful and that’s the bottom line. I am positive Obama does not support reparation to Africans in the Americas. In fact, Barrack Obama, Hilary Clinton, and John Edwards do not support reparations for black people in the USA. Black People must become politically savvy and support candidates who embrace, and directly speak to our issues. Malcolm X (1925-1965) (Pbuh) hammered home that point on numerous occasions during his rather brief life fighting for our freedom and liberty – everywhere on the planet earth.

It is my conviction Barrack Obama is the classic politician. Such as those who are all too familiar in the annals of black life and culture. Obama has not shown anything but the theatrics of hollow-wood. Obama is a fine character actor. He is certainly not some sort of Messiah of Black People. I could not believe Black people imagine Barrack Obama as a successor of the likes of Frederick Douglass (February 1818 – February 20, 1895) Martin Robinson Delaney (May 6, 1812 – January 24, 1885), Bishop Henry McNeal Turner (1834-1915), Hubert Henry Harrison (April 27, 1883 - December 17, 1927), Arturo Alfonso Schomburg also known as Arthur Schomburg (January 24, 1874–June 8, 1938), Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Jr., (August 17, 1887 – June 10, 1940), El Malik El Shabazz (Malcolm X) (May 19, 1925 – February 21, 1965), Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968), Sojourner Truth (1797 - November 26, 1883), Harriet Tubman (born Araminta Ross, c. 1820 – 10 March 1913) to name a few.
I am confident Barrack Obama does not, simply cannot carry their jock straps. He is foremost a politician. He is trying to position himself to occupy an office that is it. He is not about people’s power. He is about personal ambition; period.
I believe Hilary Clinton is the best choice of the Democratic Party. I am of the opinion; Hilary Clinton is the best choice for the people of the USA and indeed the globe. I believe if Hilary Clinton does not win the nomination as the candidate of the Democratic Party for the presidential elections on Tuesday, November 4, 2008, the candidate of the Democratic Party will not be the next President of the USA. I believe my arguments are supported by historical and demographics factors.

I hold an election is all about mathematics of the ethnic groups of the electorate. Therefore, Hilary Clinton being both white and female has the greatest chance of being next elected president of the USA. If females especially white females do not vote for Hilary Clinton, whether they like her and/ or policies or not, whom should they blame but themselves. Voting and supporting is totally about the message, females will be sending the future generations of females – being in the white house as the Head of State – is not beyond the station of females. Females ought to wage a Flower Power Campaign – Girl Power Campaign to elect Hilary Clinton on November 4, 2008 President of the USA. In a campaign of politics of gender and ethnicity Hilary Clinton wins hands down – no contest.

I remain positive; improvements respecting the Rights of Man – including Gender Equality, Racial and/or Ethnic Equality, with the accent on People’s Power, Rights of Workers. They are necessary ingredients for the advancement of civilization

Barrack Obama is not the solution to the ills of Black America and Black life and culture on the Planet Earth. I am sure of it. Obama is not my messiah.
None of the candidates have embraced issues concerning Black life and culture. Leading contenders more precisely; what are their views on Housing , health care, employment, family values, communities, immigration, coast of living, racism, war on the Black and other non-white families and people, Education, US Foreign policy regarding Black people around the globe. US American policy regarding the nations in the Americas, particularly, CARICOM, Cuba, Haiti, Puerto Rico, Venezuela and Guyana. And the unnecessary and unending wars in which poor people of the USA are sent to murder poor young people around the globe – and destroy their way of life, only to return in body bags, disabled, mentally and physically – with no income and no security for the remainder of their sojourn here upon earth. Returning soldiers obtain no benefits – war is only profitable to the members of the ruling class and the rich folks, and corporations. It is a travesty that after more than 5000 years after the founding of the Nile valley civilizations modern man is just as primitive as
Instead there are Chinese and Japanese fast food joints all over the place filled with black customers and not one solitary Black employee. Whenever I notice a black operated and or owned business place – it is common and familiar sight it is empty or almost empty of patrons except it is a church, place of worship, dance hall, laundry matt, pub, night club.

I believe black people are being priced out of their so –called neighborhoods and or communities – and the saddest part black people can not do a darn thing about it. Simply because they never listened to old man Marcus Garvey or his son Malcolm X nor did they read and understand the green book. If you do not own the land, building and jobs you own nothing – it is not yours. If you pay rent – you do not own the property – and you are at the discursion of the landlord. If you report to work you are at the mercy of your boss.
It is simply plantation economy. What is this false belief in politicians? It is beyond me – and my simple mindset. I believe in the historical truths and analysis.
When I look around in the so-called black communities in New York City, I notice numerous buildings being constructed, and or repaired; the owners are for the most part Jews. The vast majority of the laborers are Mexicans. There is the occasional window dressing. While the vast majority of the black men of the communities are seen standing around on the fore corners, doing whatever it is they are preoccupied with and are targets for the trigger happy law enforcement officers of the New York Police Department and the state of New York Prison complex system.
The wireless business is capturing a great deal of black America’s dollars. Yes indeed they have surpassed the Woolworths of the era of Malcolm X in handcuffing Black America. T-Mobile, Cingular, Verizon – it sure costs a lot to talk – to run our mouths – and you know how much black people love to talk and carry on.

And what is most frightening in this modern age they refuse to look like themselves. This learned behavior wreaks self-hatred. Nine out of ten black females you will ever see in the western world mimic the white females of the society. I believe Harriet Tubman would be appalled if she were to ever witness this mess our females are education our future generations. I often wonder where and how much people spend to tell lies; God knows the amount could lift not only Black America but indeed peoples of African origins clearly across the digital divide well on the way on the threshold of developed society status. Black people love to dress and speak like our oppressors but do not own the building or the land upon which it stands. They rent yet holler about my building, my job, my that, my this, and my country – and they know they do not own a darn thing – nor control any government on the face of this planet Earth. The need is to cut deals just like the Jews do – the need is to own just like the Jews do.
Our ancestors were. How is it that in this day and age mankind still fight bloody encounters where by thousands if not millions of lives are lost? If you think I am not accurate simply visit military cemeteries – and check the life spans of the victims of America’s foreign policies and the wars which resulted from such behaviors – who are interred therein. I am sure the vast majority are between the ages of 18 and 35 years old when their lives were ended.
Owning business in the so-called black communities. Owning the land and the buildings there upon.

When I arrived in New York City there were it seemed black-owned businesses particularly; Soul Food Joints and Fish & Chips Joints at almost every fore corner; rivaling the beauty saloons, store-front places of worship, churches, barber- shops, especially in Harlem and Brooklyn; – today they do not exists. If you ask me – you did not but I am going to tell you anyway Black People take too much time, pride and money and spend it upon appearance.
Millions of people have expressed their opinions on the chances of Barrack Obama becoming the next president of the USA. Thus Billions of words and thoughts have been expressed. Now I would love to be allowed to throw my tow cents into the mix. I contend there is a much needed dosage of reality needed. I did not intend to participate in hollow word play but however, a few days ago, one of my associates, a comrade, a black looking fellow birthed in America told me, he wants nothing more to do with me because of my opinions of Barrack Obama and the possibilities for a black president in the USA in the near future. I remarked Black people needed a great dosage of reality. They are only aware of their station whenever some events occur which adversely affects their personal well-being, here in the USA. On most occasions many offer it is not their business. It does not affect them. Oh slavery days are over – yet black people are landless and powerless all over the globe in the last 600 years.

Do not be ridiculous, people, the cry for change, has reverberated since time immoral. Do you think the working class people whose blood sweat and tears built the pyramids at Saqqara more than 4500 years ago – it is still standing – your twin towers were blow away smoldering a few years ago – one has to wonder about the magnitude of technology of our ancient people- with that said the working class certainly caught hell in ancient times as they do today. I believe they were not at all pleased with their station in life – and cried for change. The idea of wailing for change is not by any stretch of the imagination a new calling card. However, after eight years of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, I guess any change is welcomed. I saw Oprah Winfrey the other day; I thought she has a melanin deficiency problem. The child is also almost as colorful as the Europeans both guests and in the audience on her talk- show. I remembered when Oprah Winfrey was a black female. What kind of a Zulu Oprah Winfrey is? Chaka (1787-1828) would certainly not approve, I am sure.
No where on this planet earth, does the electorate place a person of the minority ethnic group into office of the Head of State. It has not happened in Bermuda where the whites are the minority group. The blacks of Bermuda exercised good judgment and common sense and rejected that group at the recent polls. I believe the white folks in the USA will put an end to this scenario, bloodlessly by rejecting the candidacy of Barrack Obama at the polling place. That is indeed the honorable thing to do.
To see your enemy and know him is part of the complete education of man. Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Jr., (August 17, 1887 – June 10, 1940),Thaddeus Stevens (April 4, 1792 – August 11, 1868), what are 40 acres and a mule and $50? When it comes to black America Why is USA bankrupt. Martin Luther King, Jr. (January 15, 1929 – April 4, 1968) was right in his day as he is today – insufficient funds.
