Barack Obama a 'House Negro' Says Al Qaeda Leader, Ralph Nader and Baptist Preacher
Does the Race of the Sitting President Entitle Others of that Same Heritage to Perks?
Obama: House Negro?
House negro (or Uncle Tom) is a derogatory term used on African Americans who are perceived to be submissive to a Caucasian American establishment. It is a sad state of affairs that African Americans themselves are actually using terms like "house negroes" when discussing other African Americans who fail to goosestep along a racially divided (pro black) line in the sand.
Ralph Nader Calls Obama Uncle Tom
Perennial presidential candidate Ralph Nader stated that he wished Barack Obama well, but that as president he would have to choose, among other things, if he was going to be "Uncle Tom for the giant corporations who are running America into the ground." Nader's response to the ensuing criticism is telling; he complains that the remainder of his statement was omitted.
James Manning Derides Barack Obama as House Negro
A man of the cloth who runs a church in Harlem, James Manning is a ruthless separatist who envisions a Harlem devoid of anyone but black people. Hanging his belief on a bizarre mix of Old Testament theology and prison Christianity, Manning - when not busy teaching his flock the finer art of prophesying - refers to Barack Obama as a "macdaddy," "pimp," racially mixed "trash," and "good house negro."
Obama Is a House Negro Says Al Qaeda
The New York Times reports that Ayman al-Zawahri - 57 year old surgeon and Al Qaeda leader - has referred to Barack Obama as a house negro. Blog Wired further quotes al-Zawahri as stating "And in you and in Colin Powell, Rice and your likes, the words of Malcolm X (may Allah have mercy on him) concerning 'House Negroes' are confirmed."
Agenda Driven Groups Wield Power of the Slur to Get Their Way
It is unlikely that Barack Obama is impressed or depressed by being called a house negro. It is just as unlikely that he gives much credence to the utterances of Malcolm X when he is charged with uniting a multi racial country. Yet what will happen to his base?
Already those termed "civil rights leaders" have made their demands known. As stated by the Chicago Defender, a return to affirmative action and a change in education that would test black children differently from white kids is just part of a growing wish list.
The Black Star News - just before asserting that red states and blue states are "code" for Confederate States and Federalist States - seeks to remind Obama that it was black voters who "launched Obama into the White House." There is a ring of obligation in this statement.
This begs the question: does the race of the sitting president entitle others of that same heritage to perks? If you say "yes," are you not a racist? If you say "no, but turn about is fair play," are you not a racist? If you call Obama house negro, are you not a racist?

Post a CommentReally, Your Name? Why, did I downplay legitimate news in order to report on this? Did I exaggerate the statements that were made by those quoted? Did I portray a political bias?
This is the worst piece of yellow journalism I have ever read.
Nader might just be jealous of Obama for knowing how to pick out suits that actually fit, lol . . . ~~~ mike ~~~
Your Name, on my side of the world it is wrong to refer to Barack Obama (or any person, for that matter) with a racial slur. It does not matter if the referrer is a politician, a preacher, or a homicide bomber. Obviously, I cannot speak for your side of the world.
Smearing Ralph Nader won't get you a thing out of Obama, Every critic
of Obaama is going to be called for Racism. This ploy will get old very fast as the unkept promises start to add up.
Your Name, get a grip. Nader called Obama an "Uncle Tom" (which is a recognized derogatory synonym for the derogatory term house Negro) if he went one way, and an "Uncle Sam" if he went the other. The quote I cite comes from Nader's own website. Attacking me personally is not going to net you any street cred here. BTW, thank you all for commenting.
Yes Silvia, you are a liar! Nader didn't call Obama a "house negro". That's just a blatant lie. He also didn't call Obama an Uncle Tom for the corporations anymore than he called him an Uncle Sam for the people of this country.
Are you going to write a story about how people a cheering for Obama and Ralph Nader called him an Uncle Sam for the people? No, that would be lie just like the BS you wrote, wouldn't it?
...It would seem to me that any human who can speak, is entitled to say what they will. But seriously, that does not give it credence, neither does it make it right. It's only one, two or three people's opinions. There are now so many problems in our society, with the DOW dropping below 8,00, foreclosures all over the land, and the auto industry may be grinding to a halt, causing more job losesses and i turn, more foreclosures, and credit card delinquences, possibly 10% unemployment, could we concentrate on solutions, and not scuttle butt, that is concerned with more negativity. If Obama can get us out of this gigantic mess, that this current administration and all their friends, along with the Democrats, have gotten us into, I don't care what names they call him, he may take his place in history, along side his hero Abraham Lincoln, and deservedly so. Jealously gets you nowhere fast, there has been no President-Elect in history, who has had, as they are projecting, 4 million people a
Enough already Sylvia.
To be accurate Ralph Nader did not call Obama "a house Negro." You choose the simile-not Nader.
Shortly after the election a BBC interviewee noted that President elect Obama is as white as he is black. That is fact.
We have many more pressing issues for debate (as pointed out by Nader). Where is ou$700+ billon actually going now we are told that the urgent need which created the account is now less urgent and other funding is necessary.
The U.K lost much of its car industry many years ago and survived-so may we. Why should we bail out the auto empires which have told us what vehicles we should buy (the highly profitable ones of course) while ignoring worldwide trend toward smaller, more fuel efficient vehicles?
Enough already. As noted by a BBC interviewee shortly after the election-President Elect Obama is as white as he is black-let us debate issues instead. Like where is our 700 Billion going?
