Saint Obama?

Or another Uncle Tom?

In the December issue of Identity we have stated that some radical right and nationalist commentators may be reading the situation wrongly when they believe that the massive support given to Barack Obama by young white American voters means that the United States is irrevocably destined to be subjected to multiracial rule.

The overwhelming majority of those liberal whites rarely mix with blacks beyond the campus gates of the colleges and universities, no more than their parents do who also voted for Obama and who mainly live in gated safe white areas, whether in multi-ethnic California or New York State.

Their vote was a http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=6180 against the policies of George W Bush and the economic meltdown with spiraling unemployment, and who can blame them? Fortunately for the Democrats they chose a candidate with charisma, intelligence and oratorical powers against which the 71-year-old war hero McCain’s sole weapon was his patriotism. Yet he still picked up 55% of the white vote to Obama’s 43%, while Obama scored 95% of the black vote and two thirds of Hispanic and Asian votes and 77% of Jewish votes.

Note also that in the traditional Southern States, which have the highest black population, the whites voted overwhelmingly for McCain, and with the exception of Virginia the States all remained Republican. Generally Obama did not play upon his ‘blackness’ (more on this later), but for those in the know the exceptional amount of time he spent in winning over Virginia showed that he was very much aware of it.This was the former capital of the breakaway Southern Confederation and Obama knew that the symbolism of winning the State was in the same manner as Lincoln sending in black Federal troops when its Capital, Richmond, fell in June 1865.

How effective Obama can be as a president can only be seen with the passage of the next twelve months or so. But when America’s blacks in particular see that little has changed for them then he will no longer be regarded as Saint Obama but as another Uncle Tom. It really depends upon his backers, which include the remaining banks and finance houses of Wall Street. Much play was made of the two million or more small donations to Obama’s war chest via his excellent internet campaign, but more than half his record $650 million funding came from big business.

His appointment of Rahm Emanuel as his chief of staff is interesting. Much of the global financial collapse can be traced to the granting of cheap mortgages to immigrants and poor blacks, with little chance of paying them back, by the federal mortgage firm Freddie Mac. Emanuel served on its board of directors when scandal was first brewing.

According to a complaint filed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, Freddie Mac misreported profits by billions of dollars in order to deceive investors between the years 2000 and 2002, although Emanuel was not accused of being personally responsible for this. His father, Benjamin M. Emanuel, now living in Chicago, was an active member of “Irgun” or the Stern Gang fighting the then British rule in Palestine.

The BNP, whose website already has more visitors than all other UK political parties added together, can still learn much from the brilliant use of the internet by the Obama team. Its mastery of the internet as a campaigning tool was key to his victory. To give a few examples, as well as sending out millions of e-mails to potential Democrat voters, in particular first time voters, his team brought in the co-founder of Facebook, Chris Hughes, and created its own social networking site. This attracted over 1.5 million members who organised themselves into separate activists’ groups to ensure the election, if not the deification, of their idol.

Finally, one could not help noticing the joy upon the news announcers faces, both ITV as well as BBC, when after 48 hours devoted to the second coming they were able to announce that Lewis Hamilton, our “black” Formula One racing driver was now world champion – which he fully deserved. The point is that both Lewis Hamilton and Saint Obama have white mothers. Another form of racism disregarded by the liberal intelligentsia who apparently consider that only the black blood counts? I am not suggesting that we should return to http://www.wvwnews.net/story.php?id=5244?
