Al Qaeda Out Of Touch, Calling Barack Obama A House Negro
Ayman al-Zawahri (number 2 in Al Qaeda) decided he would bring an old argument, an old term that was used between Black Liberation Fighters to describe a type of black person who was not about the advancement of African People, but believed it was better to stay under a oppressor's foot than stand up and fight in the struggle to be free. 'The House Negro.'

My personal opinion is al-Zawahri has over stepped his bounds. It is kind of like when Black People say we can say The 'N' Word, but Caucasians should not let 'N' pass their mouths under any circumstances. al-Zawahri has not fought the struggle African Amercians have, and he does not have the right to use the term 'House Negro' against one of our own!
In essence what al-Zawahri is saying is Barack Obama is a House Nigger! This is not acceptable. Here is an African American Male who brings recollections of, memories of the great oratorical traditions of Fredrick Douglas, WEB Dubois, Booker T. Washington, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, whom spoke truth to power to correct the injustices in America in their time, and al-Zawahri has the nerve to call Obama, our example of the realization of the dream, a House Negro?!
Surely Ayman al-Zawahri and Al Qaeda are out of touch with what it truly means, not only to African Americans, but to the whole of America and the world to see Barack Obama elected the 44th President of The United States Of America. It means people who had to be '10 times better than' to be treated equal, when they knew they were the shh..., can hold heads high around the world and say "it was not all in vain!"
But let me back up for a minute. Let me go back to the House Negro thing for just one more 'gain. How can Barack Obama be a Black Man who believed it was better to keep the status quo, never shake any of the establishment's fundamental practices or beliefs when he was never a person who believed it better to stay in his 'place?' Our place in the racist America of the past was not to be educated, was not to show we were as good or better than our white counterparts, was not to express our beliefs openly, was not to stand side by side, eye to eye with the majority race.
Barack Obama's presence alone lets anyone know, who looks on, he is not a house negro! If any description should be given to speak of Barack, it should be he is a man who moved from working in the field to owning the house! He is a man of the people for the people, and his unique racial background, like my own, assists him in relating to all people. He is the genuine article-- a man who represents the truth about what it is to be an American.
Ayman al-Zawahri should be educated to the truth about 'the American,' and the American Tradition-- to decline agreement is American! To speak truth to power is American as Apple Pie. To fight to be free, in the only country you know, is patriotic! No, Barack Obama is not a house negro, he is a true hero.
Ayman al-Zawahri and Al Qaeda should try becoming that. Stop hiding and come out in the open. Stop killing Muslims, Christians and Jews who do not believe like you! Try some non-violent, passive aggressive political stands. Stop hiding behind Islam to justify your terrorism! At this point, you are no better than the KKK who hid behind Christianity to justify the terrorism perpetrated against African Americans.
Once again the world looks towards America and the African American population for the true example of how to fight the good fight, to struggle for change, to bring change in America and the entire world! And from a people who were held down, told 'we were nothing, we would never amount to anything' comes Barack Obama 44th President of The United States!
