- 28 -Diaspora. I will not denounce him because it is fashionable to do so nor will I reject him because we differ onvarious political issues. I recognise that Min. Farrakhan unlike his detractors has come a very long way inaddressing the numerous concerns that have served to diminish and marginalise not just the African liberationmovement but the African community as a whole. His tone and tremor have matured over the years and atthis period in his life he has sought solidarity more than ever before with people and organisations severalyears ago many would have said was highly unlikely. His recent embracing and teaching of tolerance for ourgay African brothers and sisters was a major step to repairing the Black family and increasing understandingon this very important issue. An optimistic and promising development overlooked by a White establishmentthat watched two young gay men killed within a week of each other on both coasts. The myth of WhiteAmerican tolerance for humanity in all its forms and its hypocritical record on the Homosexual civil right toprotection from violence is glaringly damming. So is its history of legitimizing brutality towards the outsider.An initiative represented in every speech I have ever heard from the minister including the material detestedby the American Jewish community.I understand the context in which his commentary is made and his Jewish cynics understand it as well, thusthe basis of their criticism in truth is not so much his choice of words but his intended critique of the Zionistmisuse of White Christian guilt for their decidedly Judeophobic non-action as Semitic Europe literally burnedalive. An understandable tactic given that new publications of the falsely believed Protocols of the LearnedElders of Zion are still freely available and fervently referenced by xenophobes everywhere.If Barack Obama and other Israel supporters were to articulate these issues fairly I would say so, but theydo not. Obama is no different than any other American politician when it comes to pledging support forIsraeli inhumanity. This, I cannot forgive and still remain human. While I still refuse to harm another POC bypublicly quarrelling with them, I do not recognise Barack Obama as a ‘Black’ man. He does not act norsound in any way shape or form like a Black man. He acts and sounds like what a White man thinks a Blackman should act and sound. I was disposed, even eager, to give him the benefit of the doubt. But I also erredthis way in regards to Clarence Thomas and General Colin Powell. I never could bring myself to trust theshoe-lady, current ineffectual Secretary of State Condi Rice. Her uninterrupted excursion to NYC during thedrowning of hundreds of Africans and other poor people confirmed and justified my hesitation. Only OprahWinfrey has done more to demonstrate that the American Negro is still seeking entry into the plantationhouse. Even if he or she has to step over the bodies of their own to reach the doorknob.Barack Obama is exactly this sort of Negro. His church may be Black, but his heart is where the powerstructure is, deep within the White man’s fat capitalist backside. Only an Uncle Tom of the highest ordercould defend the murder of a defenceless, landless and speaking bluntly, beaten people. The hypocrisy ofkowtowing to genocidal Zionist terrorism while simultaneously denouncing Minister Farrakhan for remarksmade years ago in reference to Palestinian Arabs and African-Jewish relations in the United States says muchabout the man and his anticipated polices. Endless, racialised slaughters in the third world, genocides in thefourth world and rampant exploitation of the second world until peoples such as the Palestinians cease toexist in sufficient numbers to defend their right to land, cultural identity and political self-determination. So Iask humbly ask Barack Obama and all those who support his presidency, where is the accountability theliberal/democratic folks say Obama personifies? Where is the moral justice in mass murder in the name ofAmerican imperialist power? And when will White America admit that what Barack Obama really representsis a brown face that will make the genocide, the exploitation and the racism “legit” in the eyes of its victims?
