I was asked the above questions by an admitted Obama supporter on the Facebook page. These are legit

I was in a debate on an African American Facebook page about Barack Obama and the upcoming US 2012 presidential elections after I had posted this insightful article by Black Agenda Report: Tired Old So-Called Leftists Give Same Old Excuses For Supporting Obama in 2012 . Of course the Obamabots (one in particular) took exception to the article and my continual opposition to the presidency of Obama. Par for the course, the strategy of killing the messenger since it s impossible to discount or refute the message was employed by the Obamabots. Those in opposition to the Obama administration are termed ignorant, hotel rwanda dvd turncoats, hotel rwanda dvd snitches and yes Herman Cain! (that last one really hurt, cause I consider myself much better looking than Herman lol!)
The fact is though, I don t take it personally. First, I am fully aware that there are two political plantations in America that most African Americans have enslaved themselves to. These Plantation Negroes  would gladly give their lives (and some do) to defend their white master s Democratic and Republican hotel rwanda dvd plantations to the detriment of their own self-interests as a community. Second, I m not an African American, so I have no allegiances to either plantations, nor do I have an emotionally distorted/biased attachment to Obama just because he is Black.
Therefore in reality I have no dog in this fight . To be honest, I do get a somewhat juvenile guilty pleasure in riling up the Obamabots (especially one in particular), so whenever I get an opportunity to do so, I will post an anti-Obama article and he always takes the bait. Regardless, the fact is I do expect Obama to easily get re-elected. Why not? Under his administration, the rich have gotten richer, poverty levels are at an all time high in America , and American Corporate Imperialism continues to be expanded and entrenched militarily throughout the Black and Brown world unabated by the 2009 Nobel Peace Laureate. Other than cosmetic and media manufactured differences, both Obama and Romney are pretty much the same guy. Obama has clearly hotel rwanda dvd stated that he is not the President of Black America, however his actions are clear that he considers himself the President of Corporate America, Hispanic America, Jewish America and Gay America.
I was asked the above questions by an admitted Obama supporter on the Facebook page. These are legitimate questions that I am happy to answer. In regards to the first, the plantation negro only envisions two choices. If you don t reside on one plantation, then you must belong to the other. hotel rwanda dvd If you don t support hotel rwanda dvd Obama and the Democrats, then by default you must support hotel rwanda dvd Romney and the Republicans. However, I do see other alternatives.
One is not to vote for either party. Both political plantations are corrupt and under corporate control, so they are in no way committed to serving the interests of the majority of the electorate and African Americans in particular. It s also counter-productive hotel rwanda dvd (as well as foolish) to take the approach to vote for the lesser of two evils. In the words of WEB Dubois : I believe that democracy has so far disappeared in the United States that no two evils exist. There is but one evil party with two names
However, if one does believe that engaging in the current political process is the only avenue to address African American hotel rwanda dvd concerns, then why not field your own candidates under the banner of your preferred political plantation to influence hotel rwanda dvd your party and government policies for your own self-interests sounds familiar? Whether their power was real or perceived, the handful of elected Tea Party legislators have been able to influence the policies and direction of the Republican Party, as well as that of the Obama administration. For as long as they have been around, why hasn t the Congressional Black Caucus been able to have this type of impact within the Democratic Party, nor with the Obama administration? Could it be they are in reality just a group of Plantation Negroes whose purpose is to be stooges for the white masters of their Democratic plantation? If so, then they all need to be replaced. They are the real turncoats and snitches !
A third alternative is to get off the plantation altogether and research the policy positions of  third party and independent presidential candidates . During hotel rwanda dvd the 2008 presidential hotel rwanda dvd campaign, if I was an American, I would have voted for  Cynthia hotel rwanda dvd McKinney and Rosa Clemente of the Green Party . Interestingly, when I discussed with the plantation negroes who were going to vote for the then presidential candidate from their Democratic plantation, Barack Obama, the idea to support the McKinney and Clemente ticket a Black and Hispanic woman whose political platform and policies were more in line with their interests, they all had the same response: they won t win . Well that s the classic American attitude   it s not about principles it s all about winning!
The second question posed I find interesting. Isn t it ironic hotel rwanda dvd that an American would ask what is my purpose in expressing an opinion on their electoral process!? Since World War II, which country has interfered most in the electoral processes and outcomes of African and Caribbean nations!? hotel rwanda dvd Which nation has continually assassinated our elected leaders that they couldn t control and rigged elections to install the ones they could? Which nation has financed armed rebellions against our democratically elected governments, destabilized our countries economies, sponsored sanctions and embargos against our nations, vetoed United Nations efforts for our empowerment and encouraged our genocide by deed or silence? All for the purpose of corporate greed! The good ole USA! So let s see if I understand this correctly: it s quite alright for Americans hotel rwanda dvd to interfere in our political affairs abroad, but we those of African descent in the motherland or diaspora have no right to offer any opinion nor criticize your corrupt, corporate driven political plantation system? Such is the audacity of the plantaion negro.
As I discussed in my previous post: African American Arrogance , those of us of African descent outside of the USA are painfully hotel rwanda dvd well aware that  Black Americans are still Americans . Most   embody the American imperialistic worldview and display their American arrogance in their dealings with other people of color. It is therefore no surprise that African hotel rwanda dvd Americans make up a significant hotel rwanda dvd portion of the US armed forces and have no problem doing their patriotic duty by invading and killing other Black and Brown people for the glory of American Corporate Imperialism. In fact, the first commander of AFRICOM , created by President George W. Bush on the recommendation of then Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, to militarily recolonize Africa for American interests, was an African American, hotel rwanda dvd General William E. Kip Ward .

These two African Americans, Plantation Negroes  from opposing political plantations, have this one thing in common. They are both warmongers who brought death, disease and destruction to the nations of Black and Brown people in the name of American Corporate Imperialism. Isn t it also ironic that African Americans fear that voter i.d. laws are a strategy being employed by the Republicans to deny them of their right to vote, while these same African Americans are literally the foot soldiers of the American strategy to deny those of African descent worldwide, the right to vote for the governments of our choosing. The chickens have indeed come home to roost.
Therefore my answer to the question: What is your purpose of arguing that AFRICAN AMERICANS should not vote? ,  is the same as the (African) American soldiers and military helicopters I saw as a boy growing up in Jamaica, engaged in a supposed  drug war against hotel rwanda dvd the supporters of the anti-US and pro-Castro political party, for the benefit of the pro-US government. I do so because I can.
I go by the name of Asabagna Alatentou, "Asa" for short. I took this name as my African/Spiritual name when I went on a pilgrimage to West Africa in 1997. I visited Senegal, The Gambia and Ghana. "Asabagna" means "hunter" and I received that name during a naming ceremony when I visited a village in northern Ghana. "Alatentou" is Mandingo for "God is gracious" and I received that name from a village Griot in Senegal. I was born in England and my parents are of Jamaican heritage. I spent most of my formative years in Jamaica, but grew up primarily in Toronto Canada. I currently live in Ottawa, the national capital of Canada. I am professionally employed, married, 2 wonderful kids and regularly attend a Pentecostal church. I am a born-again Christian. I do not consider myself conservative or liberal, right-wing or left-wing, centrist etc., or any of the multiple categories that society likes to confine and define people by. However, I do have strong views, beliefs and opinions but I also consider myself open to listening and contemplating other viewpoints. I am a firm believer that "if you don't believe in something, you will fall for anything".
Interesting Article, however you speak of the Colonialization of Africa by the two so called Plantation Negros that is a non-fact at best. White folks have never stopped the colonialization of Africa, they may have stepped behind the puppet by they are the puppet masters. So if Obama can implement a policy that would weed out the corruption in Africa to stay stabilize the Socio-Political hotel rwanda dvd economies, which would result in a better quality of life for the people on the Continent, why not.
The whole idea that any western president could weed out a corruption in any so called third world country much more Africa is idiotic in the extreme, given the history of the west in Africa. The history of Nigeria, for example, puts the lie to this idea. Lots of people in this world have ideas about the corruption of Africa, few of these ideas have any respect or have done any research into the history of Africa in its own right, i
