Obama - The People's Man

"Black Power is giving power to people who have not had power to determine their destiny."

Mark these words said by Huey Newton. Huey Newton (February 17, 1942 – August 22, 1989), was co-founder and leader of the Black Panther Party for Self Defense, an African-American organization established to promote civil rights and self-defense. Newton read the works of Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, Frantz Fanon, Malcolm X, Mao Zedong, and Che Guevara. It was during his time at Oakland City College that Newton, along with Bobby Seale, organized the Black Panther Party for Self Defense in October 1966. Seale assumed the role of Chairman, while Newton became Minister of Defense (From Wikipedia). But this great reformist and preacher of black solidarity was brutally killed.

Now is the time for Barack Obama, the newly elected President of the USA, which is in shambles today, to realize this dream of reining supreme over the whites (not all but those who consider themselves to be a superior race) and tell this world that blacks are also humans and can't be subjected to any secondary treatment or subjugation. John McCain, yet another Bush in reckoning, had to bite the dust and in what a way! Damn good Obama!

I am sure that after the great Martin Luther King Junior, this is the biggest rise for any black in America with few more in-between who created some ripples in the history of the USA.

Although Americans don't fight elections based on races but this was quite an evident fact during this election wherein the Republicans left no chance to deface/defame Obama with nasty racist comments to tarnish his image. The guy came out clean and the working and middle class of America fought the battle for him to see him come out with flying colors. It makes me so much more happy today. Despite being a student of international politics throughout my life and having decent knowledge about the world governments and their methods of elections, I, for sure, had not taken so much interest in American politics. When it comes to America, the political apathy of its citizens is so evident that you tend to lose hope on that country. But this time it was a clear demonstration of American will to oust the non-people power centers.

I recall the legendary remarks of Great Nelson Mandela and I quote: "I detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man or a white man." Working and Middle class Americans quashed all tall claims made by the selfish republicans who tried to destroy the image of the great leader in making - that is Barack Hussain Obama, a native of Kenya, who made the destiny look smaller for once. Once Mandela also said, "When the water starts boiling it is foolish to turn off the heat. Obama, in his fierce battle to claim the so-called highest seat of power in the world proved this saying verbatim. He, for once didn't give up on his dire efforts to reach the stage wherein he doesn't have to look back upon. Particularly for me, he is a man of character. I love it when people say Barack Obama is a 'Marxist Mole' in the USA. I have read that Obama's childhood mentor Frank Marshall Davis was a communist and there are multiple instances which prove that if not a hardcore/hardliner, Barack Obama is a people's man and is towards the left of the center.

This could change the entire outlook of the world intelligentsia and can prove to be the master mold which will reshape America and thus the history of the world.
