If there is any group out there that should be just as angry as us Latinos/ Arabic/ sane Westerners / the entire eco system…er…. pretty much everyone except everyone that works at FOX news, rich folk and crazy Christians – it should be black americans. The plight of these people was used as a tool to insert yet another tool into the system – and one that is turning out to be just as violent as Bush.
“Decrying Barack Obama as “white power in black face”, hundreds of African Americans marched on the White House on Saturday to protest policies of the first black US president, and demand that he bring US troops home.
More than 200 people gathered for the first public demonstration by African Americans against the Obama administration since his historic inauguration in January, and slammed the president for continuing what they described as Washington’s “imperialist” agenda around the world.
“We recognise that Barack Hussein Obama is white power in black face,” civil rights activist Omali Yeshitela, chairman of the Black is Back coalition which arranged the protest, called into a megaphone as the group marched outside the mansion’s gates.
“He is a tool of our imperialist enemies and we demand our freedom. And we demand that Obama withdraw all the troops from Afghanistan right now.”
Protesters also called for Obama to order troops out of Iraq and to scrap Africom, the controversial year-old United States Africa Command, and demanded “hands off” Venezuela and ends to the Cuba embargo and the Zimbabwe blockade.” “
For those whose memory of the Black Panthers still represents the face of true black power against it’s controllers – this is good to see. Although, next time – let’s shoot for at least 200,000 black faces against Obama. The rest can keep obsessing over bling, doing up cars, selling out and pushing Jesus while making cheesy commercial rap music.

And for todays ‘must read’ piece – Paul Craig Roberts has written a worthy set of words on U.S. Imperialism.
