From the Plantation to the Bighouse!
by M'Bwebe Aja Ishangi

With less than a week to go before the nationz 56th presidential election, you can feel the anxiety as each candidate blitz the airwaves with urges of your vote.

Before this, I really didn't deal in politics, feelin' it's become a system not for the people nor by the people. But over the last 20-or-so months, my interest was sparked, large-in-part to alarming armageddon-like catastrophe's that have gone from conspiracy to reality. With all the ruckus goin' on, the Dow decline, the scarcity of jobz, and the fear of a Bank Holiday happenin' any day now, I can't remember when I actually felt safe in this country.

For nearly a decade we've watched the dayz of stability and laughter of our childhood morph into todayz youth unable to even fathom a future at all, much less a safe one. We've watched our self-annointed leaderz play their position, sayin' nothin', salivating their palettes as they receive their portion of table scraps from their masterz plate.

The recent events that have transpired in the last decade have done more damage to the middle-class than previous centuries combined. America is at an all-tyme high in low regard among world opinion, it's military continues to extend beyond its meanz fighting in two wars and its citizenz witnessed terrorist acts on U.S. soil for the first tyme since probably the bombing of Black Wall Street in Tulsa, Oklahoma back on May 31, 1921. We are nearing the eye of this global economic recession and the one's who'll feel it most are the lower and middle-class. This ringz of the old dayz where there were only two classes: the rich and the poor, where the poor were decadent servants (slaves) maintaining the wealth of the overseer.

As history's proven, on every plantation, there were revolts, but this tyme, instead of burnin' the Bighouse down, its bein' taken over!

Now I'll be the first to remind you I was initially a skeptic, not because I thought I knew Barack Obama—because at the tyme, I knew very little—but rather of what I've studied about Global White Supremacy (GWS), The Illuminati and The Trilateral Commission (TC).

But I humbly digress... a proclaimed "learned" wo/man cannot be if they discontinue seeking knowledge. Hence, this is a piece about maturity, about growth and about salvaging one's sanity, in particular, mine. Many of you know me as the one who bashes everything that isn't for the benefit of American-Afrikan people [yes, American-Afrikan; 'Afrikan' bein' the subject or noun, 'American' bein' the kind of Afrikan. (sorry for the english lesson, just want hedz to understand what I mean)]. But as I am granted extended life and perspective, I realize there are generationz yet born that need to be moved to the forefront of the equation.

See, the philosophical core of my writingz are based on the desire for a better, socially moral, safe and equal America (and world). If anyone today still thinks racizm is dead (or not as prominent), we've been privy to witness it from not just common folk who aren't of Afrikan descent, we've seen this behavior from elected officialz as well.

We've heard both Republican and Democratic's question Barack's affiliation with Muslimz and terrorists simply because of his name, while at the same tyme, Sen. John McCain's backgroundz never been questioned. For one, it wasn't until April 4th of this year that he admitted he was wrong in bein' a strong opposer of Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday in his state of Arizona—obviously he repents not because the right thing to do, it's because he's runnin' for President and needz the "minority" vote (note, he also ran for Prez in 2000!). He also once said of the racist Confederate flag, "Personally I see the flag as a symbol of heritage"; Not one person who attacked Barack has questioned McCain on this, not one politician nor anyone of the media!

In addition his backgroundz in question... or rather his family tree. He's the great-grandson of John Sidney McCain, a slaveholder, member of the Ku Klux Klan and well known white supremacist who served as a politician and sheriff in Mississippi, was a major influence in the opposition of the Colored Farmers' Alliance—consisting of 1.25 million Afrikan farmerz, who simply fought for equality with white farmerz in the late 1890s. As far as Governor Sarah Palin? Look up HAARP (The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program, based in Alaska. HAARPs a government concealed program allegedly capable of manipulating weather Think Katrina was man-made?)!

A week before the election, MSNBC reported the ATF (Arms, Tobacco & Firearms) disrupted a skinhead-led plot to assassinate Obama and then kill anutha 100 American-Afrikanz. Last week, a McCain volunteer—a white woman from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania—conjures up a story about a Black man attacking her and carved the letter 'B' for 'Barack' on her cheek, only to recant hourz later citing a mental disorder as the reason. Everyone knowz she's tryin' to get off sayin' she's mental, when it's clear she's racist and as dumb as dumb gets—she carved the 'B' that allegedly stood for 'Barack', get this... backwardz on her cheek! Meaning, if someone other than her did carve this in her cheek, they have a form of dyslexia! Clearly, this is a hate crime and she should be prosecuted to the furthest extent of the law! But she's more likely to get off with temporary insanity or some -ish like that! We all know what woulda happened if she was Black and a supporter of McCain!

If something were to happen to Obama, just as Louis Farrakhan claimed he helped build the climate that led to the death of Malcolm X, so should Sen. McCain. Throughout the campaign, influenced from allegationz of Barack's affiliation with terrorist's fueled by the Republican Party. There have been countless reports of participants at McCain rallies callin' for the death of Obama where McCain initially said nothing. Many of these racists taunted publicly despite bein' caught on camera, provin' the perceived omnipotent mentality many whites feel—especially in the mid-west! Psychologically speaking, this comes from white privilege. I bet if they knew they could get away with it, they'd hang an Afrikan in a second! Again, this is a climate the McCain/Pelan ticket created and it's only a microcozm of what an undeclared large percentage of whites feel.

Funny how hedz like these will let an imbecile like George W. Bush reign for 8 yearz with not one reported assassination attempt, but will try to take the life of one who's committed to cleanin' up the mess this country's in! The question is will America give him a chance to live and lead? Two of the aforementioned incidents were carried out by young white's in their late teenz/early 20s, generationz removed from the dayz segregation. So how and where are they learning this? *Bottom line... many whites and non-Afrikanz are afraid.

I don't like talkin' about GWS, but I do because not enough of us are. Carter G. Woodson said it best, in so many wordz, "our lack of knowledge of ourselves is a critical problem." In addition, our lack of knowing the culprit behind not knowing ourselves is an even more vital problem. It's one thing to know you're sick, it's anutha to know who made you sick and overstand their reason behind it.

Collectively, we American-Afrikanz were brought as products of this government and not producerz whose cultural base has been strategically stripped from the position of vanguard of our place in this country and quite frankly, our historical contributionz to the world.

Celebrated British historian, Arnold Toynbee, who wrote a twelve-volume analysis on the rise and fall of civilizationz in 'A Study of History' wrote, "When we classify mankind by color, the only one of the primary races that has not made a creative contribution to any of our 21 civilizations is the Black race." Because fabricatorz of true history like his works have been accepted as scholastic contributionz to mankind, it makes you wonder exactly what it is YTs really scared about and with Obama running, I'm quite sure many fear a Blackman bein' Commander-In-Chief of the "free world".


GWS has been the most vital component used in detaining Afrikan people's (or dark-skinned, kinky-haired, thick nose, lips and hips—for those who have trouble identifyin' with Afrika) ability to take their place as leaderz and co-leaderz of the world. This is what makes Obama's run so unique. His run, even to this point—to become the Democratic Presidential Nominee while beating Hilary Clinton (who just knew the nominee would be heired to her due to so many aceepting Bill as Black) and to have raised over a half billion is campaign support shattered previous recordz and proves there are many ready for change—is monumental for people of Afrikan descent and because of his success, it both is and isn't about race. It's not about race because he's a worthy candidate who just so happenz to be of Afrikan descent, and it is about race because of what this accomplishment's symbolizes for Black people... We are movin' from the Plantation to the Bighouse!

PRESIDENT OBAMA
Imagine... Barack Obama as President...

It took a minute, but Barack Obama has won me over. He's the best chance, not just for this country, but the world has of someone creating change from within (the government). But does this mean I now relinquish my suspicionz and have complete faith in the government and the voting system? No. Anything could happen come election nite (have we forgotten what went down in 2000?)! We still have the 25-year Voting Rights Bill to abolish (due to come up again in 2032)!

Does this mean I have complete faith in Obama? No. That would would be unfair to put the historical socioeconomic illz and prejudicial wrong-doingz of this country's forefatherz and heirz (children) on his shoulderz and make it all good. You can't expect one man to extinguish a nearly 250-year fire as soon as he gets in office, let alone in 4 yearz! Obama ain't God, so it is inappropriate to look for him to right these wrongz especially when white privilege has existed here in this country since before 1776! But what he represents as a catalyst is a start...

My initial judgement of him was as everyone elses, primarily based on what 'massa'-media and his electoral competitorz wanted us to know (including Hilary). As with many American-Afrikanz, from jump, I was for Obama simply because he's black. But as the media tried to first paint him as a 'militant black' or one with possible links to Muslim terrorists, to then not bein' 'black enough', I was confused and realized I couldn't just be for him 'cause he's a brutha, I needed to do my research.

Not givin' him any exceptionz, I looked up his affiliationz to secret and not-so secret societies, as I would any other politician. The only one I found of significance was his association with the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), alleged co-conspiratorz of the North American Union (NAU). When publicly confronted, he gave a suspicious response claiming he "sees no evidence" to support the NAUs existence and downplayed his link with the CFR.

Knowin' what little I know of the NAU and relyin' more-so on what I know of the CFR, practically every politician has ties with them. so I gave him some slack. But my skepticizm grew when Zbigniew Brzezinski—an executive member of the Trilateral Commission who in 1978, was key in the strife that went down in Rwanda, who spoke of U.S. dependence on Afrikan mineral wealth and callz on the FBI and CIA to make sure that "radical" Afrikan Nationalist Movements do not get together with Black Nationalist's here in the U.S. in the National Security Council Memorandum (NSCM-46), a continuation of YTs scheme of stealin' Afrikan natural resources and creating white wealth just as Cecil Rhodes, Oppenheimer, DeBeers, Rockefeller and the sort did battling against Marcus Garvey in the early 1900s (whew)—was appointed his top foreign policy advisor in 2007 and endorsed him that August, givin' me reason to continue my research.

But as I began listening to his speeches in its entirety, his wordz and candor had the same effect on me it has had on the rest of the world. For the first tyme there was a politician on the inside bold enough to take on the the same 'ol 'politics an usual' and lead us toward change. Have you seen how the world has embraced this man? I definitely believe him bein' Afrikan got somethin' to do with it. With him at the helm, racizm could possibly be on its way to extinction, at the very least, a significant chunk of their "power" and influence would be lessened!

As I watched him rack up primary winz, I found myself pondering less about how and possibly why the Trilateral Commission would "let" this relatively new jack, this outsider, woven totally from a non-traditional cloth with fresh new ideas, become the Democratic Presidential Nominee, and started focusing on his message... change, or better yet, 'something different'. Change in this country that could best and probably only be brought from a non-white person.

I say this because so many non-whites (Afrikanz in particular) suffer from white privilege whereas whites, whether they believe it or not, are beneficiaries of wicked deedz of their ancestorz. A white person would be incapable of fully understanding what it's like to have not simply because of the complexion of your skin. Whites couldn't fathom what it feelz like to have an entire system be created with them bein' on the bottom. Frankly, I don't think they could survive if what was done to us was done to them! Therefore, they'd be unable to feel what we feel.

By the tyme he did the followup speech after Rev. Jeremiah Wright literally lost his mind, I realized in order to win this election, he must use the right strategy. American-Afrikanz make up approximately 13% of the American population; whites make up about 68%. While many of us wanted him to address issues like Reparationz, Jena 6 and other racial injustices, in order for him to effectively make change, he has to come across as non-threatening. The thing is, I don't think this is an act. His sincerity in bipartisan talks; his willingness to speak with whom YT defines as "rogue" leaderz—as if YTs proven they have principle and honor—without precondition to bring resolution and eventual peace; the way he's handled practically every thing thats been thrown to him—from declining any political assistance from Al and Jesse and him wanting to cut his jewelz off, to questioning his affiliationz with a Bill Ayers, bein' called un-American by fellow politicianz, or called a socialist, and I'm sure countless death threats and hate mail the media's most likely concealed, contrary to what McCain wants you to think, he's tested, having felt hate from his own constituents, and I'm sure he has more scarz then McCain could ever bear!

After hearin' what everyone else had to say about him, and contrasting it with what I saw/heard somethin' different whenever I watched him speak—the cool and calmness he exudes; his inspirational choice of wordz, how communal and non-combative he dealz with opposition; and how he sticks to the issues of his plan rather than the usual attack-mode tactics we've all become accustomed to—the best depiction of him came from his own wordz in his book, 'Dreams from My Father'.

WHO HE IS
Fellow Jegna (mentor is the incorrect name, peep "Mentor vs. Jegna" pg. 17) and Historian, Anthony Browder, spoke highly of this book in a recent lecture I attended. The next day, I decided to get his book, but found his thoughts resonated deeper with the audiobook version where I could actually hear him speak. This proved to be the most vital piece in my analysis of Barack, for as they say, you can't judge a book without knowin' the author!

Turnz out this brutha is a real brutha, but he doesn't need to tell America that while running for President, it would scare whitefolk! This cat is sound, havin' been raised through the lenz of multi-cultural life raised by a white mother and grand-parents who instilled in him American-Afrikan ethnic and cultural pride. This is a man who had the audacity to tell men the truth... to be better Fatherz to our children, turn off the tv and help them with their studies! Imagine if every Afrikan child was instilled with a knowledge of their culture. Imagine if we, who are descendants of kidnapped Afrikanz brought over here during the Maangamizi (the Middle Passage), were able to trace our roots to the exact region our bloodline originated. How many more hedz like Obama would we have?

He must've made vowz within himself to break the chain of absent fatherz and men who blame "the (white) man" for their shortcomingz. Obama's done what every person should, simply make the most with the hand you're dealt. Far too many of us fall short of our life's purpose using the blame game as a reason because it's easy to blame "the system". It was because of this obviously conscious choice that he came back to work in the community after attaining a law degree. It is also not a coincidence he offerz a similar plan for the youth who choose to volunteer community or national service's college education will be paid for.

Among the other itemz of a Barack tenure in the White House: alternative energy (bio, wind and solar), increased internet broadband, making better use of the $12 billion that's given to Iraq each month on this goin' on 7-year facade of a war, 3-month moratoriumz on foreclosures, better schoolz and teacherz with administrative accountability and better healthcare. Although most are not original ideas, the way he intendz to implement them are!

Now don't get me wrong, the governmental system is unfair as well as corrupt, but it maintainz its power mainly 'cause we cease to challenge it. We give up without an honest try. Not Obama. We're very fortunate to have someone of this caliber stand up in a tyme where many have literally given up. But before we deify him, we should consider this. The change he speaks about can and must be done by everyone on all sides. Some can make change within, whereas otherz are effective externally, if we are to survive in this current society—for how ever much longer it survives. Obama is that change that will come internally.

As I watched his 30-minute infomercial during prime-time last night, I couldn't help shake the possibility of there bein' an assassination attempt. We must realize the courage and support one must have from his family. I watched one of his speeches he did in Pennsylvania where it was raining and I thought of Martin Luther Kings last speech—the courage they possess. As I'm sure he would agree, history has shown us whenever a person standz up for change, the possibility of death lures close behind.That is why it s so important for us to focus on the message and not so much the man. Although he's to be commended, his efforts are to be duplicated, not martyred.

Hopefully other politicianz and world leaderz will follow suit when dealing with each other. Bipartisan politics is a necessity toward peace and it should not be limited to politics because, combined with cultural and ethnic traditionz bein' held in high regard, this combination has failed in America for the past 464 semesterz.

And if Barack does not win and his 15-minutes of fame fades out, he made the most of it, and the world should be grateful for it got a glimpse of a compassionate, well-rooted family man, who realized the core of our survival belies on the treatment of the lower and middle-class... you and me! He used his tyme in the spotlight wisely, showing the world there are hedz in positionz of power workin' to make the world a better place. For that, Obama has sparked a movement.

Whether we institute change from the inside or the outside, Barack is an example of a reawakening. So for all you critic's, "No, we Blackmen aren't an endangered species!"

As the world turns, who would you would rather see sitting in the white-house Obama or McCain?!

- you cannot say you don't care but that day is coming forward, like it or not. Because whether or not, it affects us all!! Which one of us doesn't want to see a BLACK man or woman take the house... I'm not saying go out and vote, but everything happens for reasons and everything is everything.

I have read and learned much from this board not to trust this man. I, already know some of his moves will be suspect and questionable and outright wrong and some will be for the good.

If Obama did win this, it makes every conscious soul with their eyes open, widen even more in this time. Obama will be under the microscope in these forums, his every decision questioned, his every step monitored. I see comradery and comradmanship getting stronger. I also see these racists dogs outright losing their heads and sleep if Obama takes it.

I know this is the light-side of it... but it looks good to me

Here I am a man who without question loves Afrikan people, without a doubt, unshakeably in love with a people. I sit here at times in awe of the bewildering hold and mesmerizing grasp Obama has on us. I understand the care and love for this Black Man, I at times have sat on the edge of my bed after he has made certain statements, having to clear my head afterwards. I am however a Black Nationalist, a Pan-Afrikan Nationalist, and selfish with my love for Afrikan people. In that selfishness I have none for Amerikkka, in that I have no will to either participate or ask folk to participate in this system, willingly. Now I use the term willingly because obviously I am here using their banking systems, their housing structures, economy etc.

I am dismayed at times that I am so alone in my feelings of disgust with this country and its nefarious machinations. History is my guide, no man woman nor child can "change" the structure of a government without serious upheaval of that system from within or without. Obama has not proven to be that revolutionary in means or manner. So I will continue to use history and continue to rely on my love for Afrikans not to put them in harm's way, I.E. the Bulldozer of Global White Supremacy. If I am to be alone in this, so be it!

Time we cannot escape, WE each are bound in it confines. This time has placed a man named Obama who has a great possibly to govern a seat in an evil-wicked country that has its reaches far and beyond its own borders. You, as I and everyone else who still breathes are bound in this reality, and when that day comes, I'm simply saying you cannot run from it and ignore it... it will catch up to you

You are wrong in judgment to think I enjoy my time in this country. You are wrong to think YOU are the only one GOING thru in this struggle!

My all and everything does not rest in Obama. Babylon is falling further and further down each day with or without an Obama. When amerikkka is running panic, I will be at my most ease because I am almost MOST prepared to face it. The day amerikkka falls will be a rejoice for the world, most importantly AFRIKA.

MY LOVE too is forward to Afrika, but today I am here.

Wow, you took that somewhere, didn't ya' no matter I rather enjoy the whole cryptic speech pattern thing! Keep it up that is an excellent use of a very limited language!

Now, to the matter at hand! I am certain that time is a constant, and that may be debatable depending on your view of metaphysics. Yet here we are as you have stated in this time not neccesarily bound, but that is another discussion. I believe that the assumption of Obama to do something different than what has been done before defies the logic of the space of mind that is occupied by the Global Aryan world. Let me offer this, when one makes a request of a party that person or group can respond with a resounding no and possible militant force to reject your request. However, when one makes a demand upon an individual or group that group or individual has to comply or they will be met with a military force offered by the person making said demand. If I speak to my child requesting her to clean her room and she does not comply I will respond with the neccesary demand and corporal action to buttress that demand.The Aryan world has yet to recieve a legitimate demand from the Afrikan world to rid us of their shackles, as a whole. Now we have had victories in Haiti and other revolts that were semi-successful. Yet to percieve that an Obam can offer such is ludicrous. They will not operate differently unless forced to do so. Could you show me the legitimate threat Obama offers as a force to motivate the power whores of Amerikkka to all of a sudden have a paradigm shift?

[G1deon]

Bro... you missed the point. I'm not in debate to validate Obama. I think you been sitting too long.

You're simply looking for an argument in the wrong place. I think you need to take your emotions and exercise them on the Obama supporters.

That was a little "cryptic" wasn't it ...that's from being too tired and trying too hard

I'm sorry if I can't involve myself and buttress your debate.

Burn Babylon and anyone who affiliates with them....Skin colour has nothing to do with it!

Damn right he is in the bighouse, the slave masters house...we call that the house negro!

Whilst we on the plantation.

Some of us will be egging him up, patting him on the shoulder and figuring a way to get in the house too...

Whilst some...the rebels like me, will be thinking of ways to burn down the house, hopefully with slave master,. uncle toms and house negroes inside and get the hell off the field!!

RBG all the way, AKEBU-LAN STRAIGHT!
No compromises along the way!!
