A black family in the white house makes me feel good!Allah wakber! It is about time black people walked with their heads up after 500 years of persecution and oppression. Hussein will surely make some mistakes and let us get down and disappointed on some issues like the Talibans but as a black school boy in the USA during the campaign said it on Swedish TV..." I want to have a black president....!" with all it means in terms of shortcomings and failures.
This is more than a tangible reason....we are all sick and tired of white supremacy and hypocracy.The total domination of international politics and economy by white folks who have no any natural resources of great importance and with an unsignificant number of population leaves you wondering what it takes to have made it as they do. Genocide and extermination have been their effective weapons.We shall never forget the scenes of black bodies swinging in the trees and strange fruits of Alabama, Mississippi or Birmingham amidst these festivities over Husseins inaugration.
There is always a black woman behind a successful black man.....Michelle Obama is not an exception. What a woman! Black folks are knocking on the door everywhere. I see many Senegalese street vendors here in Argentina!That is why the white world is a bit shaky right now.......from the whitest of all white sports like golf and tennis to the swimming pool. The William sisters and Tiger woods are inspiring many across the world, as Hussien does now.
He had to convert to christianity and denounce Islam to get where he is now. His muslim background would even have inspired more people if he had remained faithful to it. But I am sure that he would not have become a president for that reason as most Americans are generally ignorant and Islamophobic people.
The civil rights veteran and our heroe Joseph Lower¡'s benediction at the inaugration ceremony was the best for me:
"Help us then, now, lord, to work for the day when nation shall not lift sword against nation, when tanks will be beaten into tractors, when every man and every woman shall sit under his or her vine and fig tree,and none shall be afraid;when justice shall roll down like waters and righteousness as a mighty stream."
"Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day:
When black will not be asked to get back,
when brown can stick around -- (laughter) --
when yellow will be mellow -- (laughter) --
when the red man can get ahead, man -- (laughter) --
and when white will embrace what is right.
Let all those who do justice and love mercy say Amen.
AUDIENCE: Amen!
REV. LOWERY: Say amen --
AUDIENCE: Amen!
REV. LOWERY: -- and amen.
AUDIENCE: Amen! (Cheers, applause)."
