*Thanks again Brother Kalyegira for this article. The inferiority complex of most Chinese vs the White race is disturbingly very visible here in Toronto.
It seems most Chinese girls who land here for education have only one dream; to have sex with a White man. Any White man. It does not matter whether it is an old Mzee or what is called "White trash". Most Indians too have it embedded deep in their psyche to aspire to be Whites. That is why maybe they try to compensate their inferiority complex by treating us, even in Africa, as if we are garbage. It is the utmost insult for them to look down upon us while they are on our mother continent. Most South/Central Americans (Latino) also suffer from this complex. It was assumed that, voting for Obama would seem to them like a move backward away from the dream of 'being' White. Mostly the young ones, though, have debunked this and are moving to Obama in droves. All that be as it may, it is only us Africans that will have to assert our dignity on the world stage. For this we have to unite. Our enemies don't like this. (Remember when the late Colonel Sserwanga-Lwanga, Col Besigye, Tinyefunza, and most NRM fighters told Museveni off that we Ugandans had no desire to go back to feudalism. Museveni replied that it wasn't his desire either, but an order had come from the British. The Anglo-Saxon monsters have mastered the art of divide and rule). Many Ugandans forget this and label us Baganda as tribalistic, and British imperialism loves that !! I am sure that if a referendum had been held in Buganda, on restoring the Mengo feudal nonsense, the progressive Baganda would have been the majority and rejected the Balkanisation. So, even the moves for Africa's economic integration that took place in Kampala recently are very positive. Ngugi wa Thiongo is very clear how our post independence literati have done us a disservice. We are still saddled with midgets like Nigeria's Chinua Achebe. Ali Mazuri sings a very revolutionary rhetoric when he addresses people here in the West, but becomes a complete reactionary when he is talking to Africans back home. Even most of our 'Monitor' reporters never measure up to the task. Recently it was pointed out that you, Brother Kalyegira, was in the pockets of some moneybag who had sponsored you to China. It was unsettling especially for us who find you a positive voice on some crucial issues of our country. We have always wished to support you if you establish a weblog, so that you get financial independence. Don't ever let us down, please. In Brotherly spirit, Yours, Mitayo Potosi =====================* OPINIONS & COMMENTARIES *THE RIDDLE* | Timothy Kalyegira ... Obama's rise and America's collapse from world power The most important question in the next six weeks, should the Democratic Party candidate Barack Hussein Obama Junior win the United States presidential election of November 4, is how the world will start viewing America. In an April 2, 1990 Newsweek with the cover story, "What Japan thinks of America: a nation of crybabies?" a Newsweek/Gallup poll of what Japanese thought were America's most serious problems, 93 per cent thought it was America's drug and alcohol addiction; 66 per cent thought it was lazy workers; 57 per cent thought America's problem was too many racial and ethnic groups; 55 per cent thought it was not enough long-term investment; and 53 per cent though workers and bosses were too greedy. In an interview in that same Newsweek edition, the then chairman of the United States car maker Chrysler Corporation, Lee Iacocca, noted that, "If you read any history of Japan, their idea of competition is always highly adversarial, and its objective is…to destroy the competition- not to compete, but to wipe it out." During the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games in August, the Japanese Olympic team carried both their national flag as well as that of China in a gesture of the reconciliation of these once bitter enemies and their working to create a new century, the 21st century as the Asian century. A study in 1983 by the United States group, the International Communication Agency, found that the Chinese "are inclined to underestimate American resolve and strength because of the multiplicity of voices and currents in American life, which, in their eyes, signifies weakness and lack of unity." (Newsweek, July 11, 1983, page 9). What is not stated but is implicit in these China-Japan views of America is clear: these East Asian economic giants think America was once great because it was a White-dominated society but that its greatness has, over time, steadily been eroded by the presence of too many Blacks and Hispanics in the US society. To these emerging Asians, as well as the Arabs, the Whites have become the standard bearer of the world and their sense of fashion, style, architecture, humour, music, news media format, education systems, sports, languages, physical appearance, and religions are widely imitated and grudgingly adopted. Likewise, for all sorts of reasons, the bitter and inconvenient truth of our undeniable underachievement, lacklustre products and goods, inconsistency, indiscipline and overall unproductivity leads to us the Black race being perceived as the lowest of the low of the world's people. We are loved for our simplicity of personality and lifestyle and genuine friendliness, but in general we are not taken seriously. Americans might like to view themselves as a post-racial, fully harmonious society, but what is important in the geopolitics of late 2008 and 2009 is that most of the rest of the world still sees Whites as the people to respect and fear and Blacks (even a President Obama) as a people not to be taken seriously. And so this pervasive racism toward Blacks will be a major factor in how the world perceives and responds to an Obama-led America. There are several nations that view the United States as a rival or obstacle to their wish to dominate the world. Iran, Japan, China, Russia, Syria, Cuba, North Korea, Venezuela, Libya, and leading European Union states like Germany and France would gladly take advantage of any perceived weakness of America under a liberal Obama. That explains the record amounts of campaign money Obama has been able to raise via the Internet. With the US economy faced with a major downturn, families losing homes, cars, jobs, and their life savings, can these same hard-pressed Americans be the same people to pour out their money into Obama's campaign, however much they love and support him? Could some foreigners be quietly sending in money to make sure Obama wins? Many foreign governments are banking on a soft Obama presidency and will plot their foreign and military policies around that perception. For all these reasons, Obama's presidency will dramatically speed up America's fall from its current superpower standing, not because Obama is an irresponsible leader, but because of how these competing Asian nations view the world's only superpower being led by a Black man.
