Karamagi Rujumba, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Nov. 5, 2008
The dancing started early this morning when CNN International announced that Sen. Barack Obama will be the next president of the United States.
The crowd, much of which stayed up all night watching election returns on a 19-inch TV screen in the compound of Grace Obama—the step-mother of now President-Elect Obama—erupted in Luo song and dance.
They sang a Luo chorus: “Wan wadhi, wan wadhi eh whitehouse, wan wadhi ka Obama,” or “We are going with, we are going with Obama to the White House.”
The group formed a column and went to Sarah Onyango Obama’s house, where it found the 87-year-old family matriarch already in song and dance.
The merriment continued as the caravan danced around the family compound, all through Sen. John McCain’s concession speech, stopping only to dance around the TV as Mr. Obama delivered his victory speech.

And as night gave way to dawn and an almost cloudless morning rose in Kogelo, the Obama family started preparations for a big party today.
Throughout Africa, many people stayed up at all-night parties or woke before dawn today, gathering around televisions and radios as Mr. Obama was declared the winner.

In Nairobi’s Kibera shantytown, one of the largest slums in Africa, hundreds gathered around a massive bonfire of tires. Residents joyfully held up Obama posters, blew whistles and waved American flags.
Mr. Obama, the son of an economist from Kenya, is wildly popular across Africa.
Many people hope an Obama presidency will help this vast continent, the poorest in the world. Some are looking for more U.S. aid to Africa, others simply bask in the glory of a successful black politician with African roots.
“Obama, being partly African, has the moral obligation to intervene in Africa,” said Samuel Conteh, managing editor of The New Citizen newspaper in Freetown, Sierra Leone. “The aspirations of Africans are very high, believing that he will change the social and economic situations of Africans.”

Here it comes. The beggar bowl being waved at us yet again! Hasn’t America WASTED enough billions on that continent’s utterly worthless human refuse. Let Africa make it on its own. We need not waste a single dollar, much less even risk ONE human life intervene in their interminable tribal wars and brainless, senseless outbreeding of their ability to feed themselves.
What the white liberals in this country are too stupid to figure out, is that, if the rest of the world loves this man, then that obviously means he is a weakness for this country. Think about it.
“Obama, being partly African, has the moral obligation to intervene in Africa”
Have any of our former presidents ever given extra money and favor to their ancestral homeland?
Whether a nation in Africa, civil rights/social justice group, or a panhandler on the street, Africans always have their hand out.
“In Nairobi’s Kibera shantytown, one of the largest slums in Africa, hundreds gathered around a massive bonfire of tires.”
This will be the United States in a decade or two.
“The aspirations of Africans are very high, believing that he will change the social and economic situations of Africans.”
The atavistic superstitions of Africans are remarkable. How is B. Hussein Obama going to do all that? By some kind of conjuring, no doubt.
“Obama, being partly African, has the moral obligation to intervene in Africa,” said Samuel Conteh, managing editor of The New Citizen newspaper in Freetown, Sierra Leone. “The aspirations of Africans are very high, believing that he will change the social and economic situations of Africans.”
Of course Kenyans love Obama. They see a whole lot of american money coming their way.
In Africa the big man is expected to look after his family, including every 3rd cousin twice removed. Here’s to us, America - an entire continent now looks at us as their big man! Isn’t that something to be proud of?
Obama is actually the last president to push for more aid to Africa. Bush increased it massively already under PEPFAR, and if Obama increases it even more it’ll just wake up a few more people, especially stubborn independents, to the racial shakedown going on.
If I were African I wouldn’t hold out hope for more money from America; I would move to America post-haste. Everyone knows Obama isn’t gunna do a damned-thing to enforce the immigration laws, especially against his own “relatives.” And besides, I’d love to see lots more African illegals - more PR bang for the buck.
Ok….first of all, does anyone seriously think that people in africa look after their own, even a tiny bit? Hell, Obama leaves his very own family to live in the most grinding poverty (people who took care of him as a baby, lol) without the slightest care in the world.
Yes….our country is going to go bankrupt as almost all of our wealth if redistributed to wherever it can do the most harm….a big part of that will be africa.
But the goal is to take down america and nothing else.
And if you think people in this country will “wake up” over this, you are sadly mistaken. Believe me, people are awake. The problem is they are on board for this. Seriously, when they come to take you and your family away to the gas chamber (as Bill Ayers planned all along and now has to power to make happen), your neighbors will help them load you and your loved ones into the back of the truck…..they’ll also spit on you and laugh over it…..right up to the last minute when they are told to get in the back of the line.
Seriously, I never understood how much white people hate eachother until last night. It’s one thing to elect a democrat, even a black one. But that’s not what this election was about. This election was about electing an ANTI-WHITE president. Someone who will dismantle our democracy and bring soviet style communism here (including the genocide). And the people in this country were so excited to finally make this happen, they gave their executioners a landslide victory.
Obama can and will do anything he wants. Like Saddam Hussein, our people will love him for it.
Here a thought, let’s send 10 million of our blacks back to Africa in exchange for the over 4 million victimized white Africans who are the ignored victims of genocide.
Wake Up America……….
I know I don’t have to preach to Amrenners, but the African mindset is based on the premise that if our man is king we rule. They do not grasp the concept of democracy. They view it as they now rule America. Ready yourselves for some extreme arrogance from blacks as they now view themselves as conquerers and victors.
Courtney: Liberals are not particularly known for INTELLIGENCE! Also, liberal ‘thinking’ usually is the end result of years of brainwashing through one’s school years.
America is wavering at a fork in the path right now. Take the wrong path and watch America turn into a third-world nation. Financial AND intellectual poverty as far as you can see. The other road, painfully steep and rocky. But leading to a brighter, cleaner, decent and wholesome America for its people.
Now think about the metaphors “painfully steep and rocky” and replace it with the concept of WHAT NEEDS to be done to bring back that wholesome America predating 1965. Restoring our America to decency… to eliminate the parasitism and dependency our politicial system encourages… has to be painful. As was our Revolutionary War in 1776.
Quote: Was this guy elected president of Africa too?
Hey, everbody knows if you get elected as president of the USA, you get elected as president of the whole western world(aka North and South America, Europe, Africa, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand). So yup the answer is yes.
Yes, Alan. You are correct. There is more African immigration to this country than there has ever been in this nation’s history.
I saw the Kenyan celebration on Youtube. Scary stuff. Primitive, chaotic, scary stuff.
Yes, Alan. You are correct. There is more African immigration to this country than there has ever been in this nation’s history.
umm…as far as the celebration was concerned…
Did anybody see them carrying the American flag UPSIDE DOWN?
…ironically, this is a signal of distress…
re;Commando-“Ready yourselves for some extreme arrogance from blacks as they now view themselves as conquerers and victors.
It’s funny but the Blacks already are strutting around like they own the place. Actually, our country hitting very hard times under Obama’s poor leadership may be exactly what is needed to wake white people up. If things get bad enough under Obama, whites may wake up and do something.
“And if you think people in this country will “wake up” over this, you are sadly mistaken. Believe me, people are awake.”
Actually, it could. There is one thing that Americans like and that is money. Unlike our grandparent’s generation, Americans today have had it too easy for a long time with plenty of money for their flat screen TV’s, the latest cell phones, shopping sprees and everything else. If things crash and there is no money and whitey is really, really hurting and things are really, really hard, THAT is when Whitey wakes up.
“We Afrikaners can not grasp that white Americans actually fell for this MSM-induced ploy. “
While the MSM definitely favored Obama, there were also other major forces at work in causing the election of Obama. For one thing, Obama’s opponent McCain ran a poor, unorganized campaign and made several blunders. McCain also had a weak persona. Secondly, many Americans had become very unhappy with Bush for the last eight years, especially over the Iraq war, which caused them to reject McCain and his party.
For a white that born in Angola this is a “funny” history. When the independence come, almost all mulatos joint the whites in their flee to Portugal or South-Africa. Look like Mr. Obama was a death sentence at the time. And Angola was no excepcion. Thousands of mixed people of Caucasian ancestry (European or Arab/Persian)have been killed in Zaire, Tanzania, Congo, Guiné,…Now, that one mixed man is President of USA, is also promoted to Black!..

We had a store some years ago and sold Civil War stuff, mainly Confederate. Because we had Confederate flags, people would walk in, see the flags, and feel they could speak freely. The conversations were mainly about what a mess the country was in and “when will Whites wake up?” I’d always say it would be when they nothing left to lose.
““Obama, being partly African, has the moral obligation to intervene in Africa,” said Samuel Conteh, managing editor of The New Citizen newspaper in Freetown, Sierra Leone. “The aspirations of Africans are very high, believing that he will change the social and economic situations of Africans.””
Two years ago, the Pentagon set up “African Command” - AFRICOM, based in Europe. They are preparing for increased military involvement in Africa. I bet that we will soon be involved in a shooting war in Africa, standing between two camps of raving psychotics in some damned, bloody guerilla war, or taking sides with one faction against the other.
