Black Anti-Obama Protesters March On White House

From AFP News:
WASHINGTON — Decrying Barack Obama as “white power in black face,” hundreds of African-Americans marched on the White House Saturday to protest policies of the first black US president, and demand that he bring US troops home.
More than 200 people gathered for the first public demonstration by African Americans against the Obama administration since his historic inauguration in January, and slammed the president for continuing what they described as Washington’s “imperialist” agenda around the world.
“We recognize that Barack Hussein Obama is white power in black face,” civil rights activist Omali Yeshitela, chairman of the Black is Back coalition which arranged the protest, called into a megaphone as the group marched outside the mansion’s gates.
“He is a tool of our imperialist enemies and we demand our freedom. And we demand that Obama withdraw all the troops from Afghanistan right now.”

« Previous 1 2 3 Next »PurpleFlames – No sarcasm here my friend I only spit the real. But I understand that you are a fan of Obama because he’s blk. I am happy to have our first colored president too but we have to understand whats really going on here, Obama only cares about getting along with the wht ppl, have you seen him done anything for the blk community? So stop riding his dick. have a nice day
its sad when people are so lonely and bored that they just need something to do…. no matter what it is…. those people can’t do nothing better with their lives then this…… mean while other races are sitting like see “we knew they were going to turn on him sooner or later” as black people we need to understand and recognize that this is an opportunity to do what we have to do…… all’s fair now…. but nooooooo those stupid asses have nothing better to do but try for their 15 minutes of popparatzi time……. black ppl smh
Black people always have a complaint, whether you want to blame it on polices or the messiah complex! We as a people can not come together and support our own color, he did not mess up the economy so stop the uncle tom dance black people! If you do or you don’t like Obama, it’s your business, i don’t like some people, do i have to say it No! They know i do why should i repeat for the world to know,it will make no difference! Nobody cares, but you.and the other haters!Everyone won’t agree with me, and everyone will not see it your way! so GET OVER IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is going on in this thread with People attacking the Coalition is exactly what the rich corporate ruling class wanted. And that is for Obama to be their shield. They can do whatever they want and the most Revolutionary Social Force known in U.S. history, namely the Black Working Class, won’t say a peep.
That is what “Black is Back” means. All of the Movements for Social Justice, ie Anti-War, Women’s Rights, Immigrant Rights, etc, got their influence and momentum from our Black Power and Civil Rights Movements of the 50’s and 60’s. Black has to take the reigns again in this modern day struggle against U.S. Imperialist oppression. Because, again, all the other races are too scared to look like Racists if they say anything against this new Black president.
This coalition is attacking U.S. foreign and domestic policy, but because a black face is in the white house, that attack is being deflected. If it was Bush, all of you all would have been co-signing. But because a Black Man is president, Our People are not being rationale.
OBAMA IS CAMOUFLAGE FOR THE OPPRESSOR!
What do the Obama supporters feel about:
1) Obama boycotting the World Conference Against Racism, Durban II because it addressed Israel’s occupation and oppression of the Palestinian People and their land and Reparations to Blacks for the Transatlantic Slave Trade. How many of you even know about Durban II?
2) Obama supporting the illegal wiretapping of American citizens.
3) Obama supporting Extraordinary Rendition, which is basically kidnapping People, taking them to other countries to be tortured, doing the U.S.’s dirty work. How many of you knew what Extraordinary Rendition was before I just explained it?
4) Obama catering to Israel’s interests. After Israel assaulted Gaza and killed over 1200 Palestinian civilians mostly women and children, Obama saying Israel has the right to protect itself. Obama Administration saying it will veto the Goldstone Report which called for investigating Israel for commtting war crimes during the assault.
(Obama supporters always use the excuse that Obama is not the President of Blacks but the President of the U.S. Well he seems to be everyone’s president but ours. He constantly speaks to Jewish insterests groups about their concerns and met with the NAACP once and they don’t even represent our insterests. The only time he addresses Blacks is when he is dissing us for being bad fathers and having corrupt leadership. Basically saying all of our issues are our own fault. Letting the government(WHITE POWER) off the hook for its major and deliberate role in our dysfunction which is merely symptoms of what you will see among People that have been colonized. Look at the Native Americans, Latinos, and other Peoples of color in this country. We all suffer the same disease and its called Colonialism.)
5) Obama authorizing more Drone attacks, killing civilians in Afgan. and Pakistan, in 9 months then Bush did in 3 years.
6) Obama not holding the Bush Administration accountable for its war crimes of torture. Instead he says, lets look forward and not backwards. Letting them off the hook.
7) Obama not supporting the Black men who ran for Governor and Mayor of New York state and New York City. Telling the Black Man, David Paterson, running for Governor to step down. And supporting the white billionair Mayor Bloomberg, who Blacks and Latinos were trying their best to get out of office. The Black Man, Bill Thompson, could have won if he had support form the White House.
But Obama is about the Bull$hit a$$ post racial America crap. He does not want to appear to be “BLACK”. HE AIN’T DOWN WITH US YA’LL!!!
I can go on but lets deal with those points first.
The Demonstration was not about being Anti-Obama, it was about being Anti-Imperialism and Oppression. Obama is merely following orders from his handlers, ie Rich Corporate America. People have been scared or too caught up in him being Black to say anything critical of Obama.
The white Anti-War movement has not been nearly as vocal as they were under Bush because they do not want to look like racists. And the Black folks are still caught up in the nostalgia of having the first Black President that they are too blind to see. The oppressive Imperialist U.S. government is getting away with all kinds of mess since Obama’s been in. That is why he was SELECTED (not ELECTED).
Have any of you checked out the Black is Back Coalition website?:
blackisbackcoalition.org/
Do any of you know anything about its Chairman, Omali Yes**tela who is leader of the Uhuru Movement. Yes**tela has been fighting for Our Struggle since the 60’s as apart of SNCC. Not an Arm chair Revolutionary, a FULL time Revolutionary.
inpdum.org
apspuhuru.org
uhurunews.org
The Coalition was formed to address the imperialist U.S. foreign and domestic policies of domination of the worlds Peoples and their Resources. Policies that transcend administrations. Obama has carried on and escalated these policies. SOMEONE HAD TO HAVE THE BALLS TO SPEAK UP!
The Matrix was on point when Morpheus told Neo that the same People that you are trying to free from the Matrix will be the same People that will fight you to protect it.
FREE YOUR MIND!
TO MODERATOR:
Where are my posts, Blackplanet. Have I been “black”-balled or what? They just say awaiting moderation.
I have been watching from Canada. I admire all the struggles and accomplishments African Americans have made and for us Blacks in Canada its an inspiration. The Obama election has made me get involved more in my local politics. The highest position in our country Governor General is headed by a Black woman Michaelle Jean. Now I don’t ex[ect her to make everything great for Black people here, but I do look at her as an example of political involvement and what can happen if more of us were a part of that process. I love my country as well and although I have visited your country many times (Baltimore, Detroit, NYC, Filly, and Chitown) I have no desire to move to the US. The politics of your country has created a hatred around the world for the US and even here in Canada you will find people are not too friendly to Americans. What is appalling is that many Black Americans are dissing Barack instead of getting closer to him. But it is usually the lazy ones who just like to point fingers and complain instead of being proactive. Protests just allow the media to show your organization as a nuisance. Strategic interference may work a lot better in getting results that you want. An even bigger problem with Black people here is their self absorbness. (if thats a word). The world is vast. America is not the centre (thats how we spell centre. you spell center) of the globe. It would be nice if more Black Americans would reach out. Why not come here for a visit and see what your fellow people are doing here. Visit some of the Black neighborhoods and not just the tourist sections downtown. There are many opportunities even business wise in which we can collaborate together. I have been collaborating with East Africans on different ventures as well when I visit Tanzania, last time helping to open a movie theatre. Why allow the American economy to bring our economy down. The Chinese community doesn’t follow economic downturns because they have created a mini economy within their community here. Angola in Africa has a very high growth rate peaking at 13% just a few years ago. And white people are jumping on that while you complain about Obama. I am happy for Obama and yes we celebrated here as well. Its not about the promises, but its about the symbol. You are welcomed anytime!

@0VancouverHurts
I’m gonna assume you’re being sarcastic, because if that statement was serious then…damn.
Here we go again
If he aint shattin gold, walking on water, bleeding platinum, than some of us complaint(note sarcarism).
I have a good idea for those Obama Haters why dont you run for office in 2012
Peace In
Should we blame obama for the fact that apathy in the 09 Elections in states such as VA, NJ, NY helped the republicans gain the political momentum they so desperately needed?
Everyone has so much nonsense to talk about Obama’s progress. What have you done lately to help your communities? And I am tired of hearing that the majority of us voted for him b/c he was black? There have been other blacks that have run for President. Alan Keyes, black, Jessie Jackson, black, Shirley Chisolm, black, Al Sharpton, black???? None of them won and most blacks probably didn’t vote for them anyway. It is insulting to hear other black ppl suggest that blacks voted for him simply b/c he was black???? And I wouldn’t have voted for Alan Keyes b/c his political ideology is too closely aligned with a conservative rhetoric about family values, “trickle down economics, etc. He and Michael Steele are poster boys for baffonery. Thanks, but no thanks.
Obama is one person and he is the leader of a country whose foundation was formed on the basis of the enslavement of others. Do you seriously and honestly think that the white power structure in this company is going to relinquish “power” b/c a black man is president??? Wake UP ppl. This is America!!! We should not place our destinies in the hands of any person or the government. Remember we’re still waiting for our 40 acres and a mule?
The protesters are several years late. Where were you at when the real culprit, G.W. Bush was in office running the country into the hell it’s in now??? Now everyone, black, white, or other want to point the finger towards Obama and expect that he has ALL the answers to our problems. The problems in this country WILL NOT be solved by Obama. Remember charity begins at home. We can’t blame Obama, white ppl, or anyone else for our our priorities being wrong.
We should be protesting the fact that right here in America there’s another war going on that involves our young black youth being murdered on the streets, our public schools are deplorable, and the derogatory messages that are being “glorified” in the music helping to create communities that are “under seige”. And the fact that when Obama wanted to go and speak to school children about the importance of staying in school, people were “outraged”???? I didn’t hear anything from the protesters then?
I don’t care for Obama either. I don’t think his policies are that sound, and I think the general public looks at him with rose tinted goggles and treats him with kid gloves as if he’s infallible and can do no wrong. He gets a pass for many things that other presidents before him would have been given s**t for. He’s the “Anointed Mulatto.”
Sorry, I use my head to form my opinions, I’m not gonna just support the guy because he’s got brown skin. . . .like so many of us clearly did.
This is so much deeper then obama saving black people idk who was ignorant enough to believe that but obama hasn’t done anything so far that help the united states in the long run. That man made sooooo many outlandish promises during his campaign of which none he has kept. So obviously our pres. has some type of personality disorder “new kind of politics” ha yea right. I can totally understand where these people are coming from it’s not just about what he’s done for the black community but its about how he’s basically a rich white man’s puppet(which he and most of our other pres. were). & how do yal know what these people have done or what they have been involved in, yal haven’t researched this organization so you cant say that they did or didn’t protest against bush. All in all though i hope he starts switching stuff up in the way he’s conducting his presidency, because so far it sucks, and it would be awful for obama to be the first black president who’s responsible for contributing to the fall and demise of the u.s.
TMAC_35000 Beyonce is not a devil-worshipper, she displays “demonic” symbols in her artwork to get ppls attention. She is in the entertainment business ya know! She is here to entertain, not to bore ppl. At least I get Benefits from her, as for you, Barack black face obama your idol, he does not care about your ass and does not care about black ppl. lol Barack is overrated and is getting too much credit for doing nothing. I’m sick of hearing his name, ppl will look past his skin shade and will see soon enough who he truly is.
cestleon Oh so you agree that Barack Obama Is A Devil Worshipper smh
More than 200 republican paid dummies….lol.
And “W” was a product of “white priviledge” who was very unqualified to run his own life (he was a “C” student that barely graduated and bragged about it, he had numerous addictions that almost ruined his life, he helped this country go from a surplus to a defecit and in turn caused a huge spike in unemployment, at the same time fostering anti-Amerikkkan sentiment all over the planet, and under his watch the “terrorists” were allowed to strike N.Y.C., D.C, and Pennsylvania. And lest we forget he also helped to initiate the beginnings of martial law via the “Patriot Act”) so yeah, he needed to be parodied….
My apologies, I heard the same thing about GEORGE HERBERT WALKER BUSH roughly 17 years ago!
Beyonce is spawned from the bowels of Baphomet!!!!! TMAC is right ha ha ha! You can create anything on YOUtube, that’s why it’s called YOUtube, D-UH!! But on the real, though this country is rooted in occultism. Washington D.C. itself is designed on occultism. Amerikkka is the beast. What you are saying, Vancouver isn’t profound. In fact it’s kinda remedial at this point since I read about this roughly 17 years ago. Can someone please tell me something that is groundbreaking that I haven’t heard or read?
0VancouverHurts, I can go right here on BP and find that they say your idol is a devil worshiper. SMH
Hey Omali! Unsubscribe me from the Black get Back March thang. Let me know when ya’ll be demostrating the the Black Afghani Hash is Back thang…make that a sit-in and I’ll be with ya in full force somewhere near the bean pie vendors.
Tsk, tsk on all ya’ll. You know damned well name calling is almost as effective for getting things done as whispering to blow out a fire fueled by the San Andreas winds. If a million marching black men brought not one iota of change to past administrations, then 200 marching black folks ain’t about nothing unless ya’ll got instruments.
If you research Obama’s campaign speeches and search for his exact words that promised to bring change to the lives of African Americans you’ll find that he promised us nothing, not a darn thang. So far, he’s kept his word on that. So ya’ll might as well pack it up and get back to the hustle or sprouting weeds if you’re medically certified.
Gren1shaw,
Sounds like you’re the racist here. Open your foolish eyes, Obama isn’t the president of black people, and we are not planning a “genocide” on the black people.
Seriously, the ignorance here is startling sometimes.
To all the idiots including the so-called black is back coalition.while you have been in hiding and keeping your eyes closed.pres.obama has and his family have been under constant attack by the racist rep.party and their army of vermin since he came into office.why hav’nt you protested the racist? Is it because you are cowards? And I wish you would’nt use my white men in blackface anymore.I used that saying to describe the black commentators that spend all their time trashing obama.not top be used against him.with all of the black people suffering under white racist rule where have you been? I’ve never heard of you.to me you are not worth the breath it takes to blow out a match.I’m tired of black people. Taking the side of white people against blacks that are trying to make a difference for us, he’s onlý been office a year fighting the whole time.what have you done to help black peopel who the racist have planned a genocide? Look at black cities like detroit where were you while the blacks there were being starved and the city was being killed? If you can go to washington,you can go to detroit and other cities that are being wiped out.as far as I am concerned ýou are just another black group trying to get paid by white people.
