Had Americans been able to stop obsessing over the color of Barack
Obama's skin and instead paid more attention to his cultural identity,
maybe he would not be in the White House today. The key to
understanding him lies with his identification with his father, and his
adoption of a cultural and political mindset rooted in postcolonial
Africa.
Like many educated intellectuals in postcolonial Africa, Barack Hussein
Obama, Sr. was enraged at the transformation of his native land by its
colonial conqueror. But instead of embracing the traditional values of
his own tribal cultural past, he embraced an imported Western ideology,
Marxism. I call such frustrated and angry modern Africans who embrace
various foreign "isms", instead of looking homeward for repair of
societies that are broken, African Colonials. They are Africans who
serve foreign ideas.
The tropes of America's racial history as a way of understanding all
things black are useless in understanding the man who got his dreams
from his father, a Kenyan exemplar of the African Colonial. -- [American Thinker cont]
