For several weeks now, thanks to Nyar'Onyango this forum has been Obamanized, taking it away from its original mission: Uganda its problems and possible solutions! At the beginning it was ok to discuss Obama 24/7, but I did not think it would be this bad (infectious) overthrowing Ugandan forum! Folks I can understand this kind of excitement, but it is now time to refocus on what brought us together on this forum and leave this Obamamania alone...The guy has now settled down to pick his entourage and face the world he promised to transform/change as if we have never heard these promises from other leaders before!. In this Obamanism, I have picked up a few things that are most interest...It is the same America the world deries that has promised to change the same world it has messed up...People are taking these promises with a lot of happiness for one reason, it is no longer being promised by an Ango-American (WASP), but by a colored man, a crossbreed between an African man and a white woman.... Should some of these promises involve invading Granada, bombing some other countries, imposing sanctions and continuing to fund dictators in Africa such as Yoweri Museveni of Uganda, will it still be ok because they are being implemented by an African American and not a white man? As far as Obama making history, I am not sure about that either..History was made long time ago by Martin Luther King who stood up at the most difficult and chanllenging times and called for the Black man and woman's freedom...He died for it.. As for Jesse Jackson's tear, Allan I agree with you they were genuine and moving for a couple of reasons: Had America changed then at the time he run for the presidency more than 20 years ago, he would have been the first African American President then.. 2) He had come to grips, that while there are still rampant racism in his country, America has changed and there is no more going back...they were tears of joy and not sorrow nor crocodile tears as Mama Onyango would like us to believe... Finally, the excitement and happiness expressed by Africans the world over is an indication that we are still light moons away from attain that essential element called self-respect...For it is very odd indeed that a man in Yei Southern Sudan would celebrate an American leadership when the average American Black or White does not even know who the Sudanese President is...We are still very racists.. And ladit Philip Potuda, I passed by the City Hall yesterday looking for the Luo party you promised...There was none...When is it? Kel agwara, adungu and likembe let us do that larakaraka thing before it gets too cold..I am experiencing Texan like weather in Ottawa for the few days I have been here.

Look, even us black africans from anywhere in Africa other than Nigeria, we always have a problem with typical african americans. Not any different with Obama who hasnt any slave blood in his veins and is such a brilliant man, was even declared not black enough. I hope they have seen thru the brick wall that had been built around them and wake up. -----Original Message----- From: Nyar Nyar'Onyango Sent: 11/5/2008 8:00:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Str8talk-2011] Re: Obama-nation Barigye, Jesse Jackson was only crying corocodile tears - that man really to sturb Obama on the back!
