President Obama in Ghana at the Cape Coast Dungeons‏ pt 1-2

[qureysh99]

Slavery in Africa was a lot of places like west africa,east Africa and there is still exist indirect or direct so, it needs a lot work to do on it especially those who start they have to appology otherwise it'll cost them one day because the world will change as weather changes and no one has for ever leave and victory

[matonti90]

It bothers the hell out of me that he says "um" so much. Take your time to think out your sentence so you don't have to talk so freaking slow.

[DaBigSun]

Damn, those Secret Service Special Agents are everywhere. They don't fuck around. I like how they act like they not following Obama.

[FREEDOMEAGLE1000]

[Vamply]

He is just brilliant!

[oluwalogbon58]

the subtext of american foriegn policy has not changed in principle..to protect isreal at all costs.. and if that means making more enemies and uniting the various arabic factions so be it..in that regard, bush did his job, the difference is that democrats might listen a bit to the other side but they will always put israel at the cornerstone of their agenda its the american way ..

[oluwalogbon58]

The africans who think that he came to ghana to give them economi opportunity would be better off with bush , he brought a lot of money with him on his trip, this was a symbolic trip and a slap in the face to KENYA his home country, where his people are from.. he didnt go there to give them a loud and clear message; get your act together and stop fighting ...

[Sista81]

@oluwalogbon58 I agree 100%!

[oluwalogbon58]

@Sista81 am not taking any new subscriptions or invites because of the harrassment am getting from some whites who are disguising themselves as aa on here.. sorry for the inconvience ..but there are some mad buggers out there so the baby gets thrown out with the bathwater ..

[TheMZLEXUS]

@oluwalogbon58 -I have no IDEA WHERE U ARE FROM BUT FROM URE USERNAME U MUST BE NIGERIAN.. U ARE LIEYING GHANA AINT NIGERIA BCS WE DONT FIGHT..GHANA IS ONE OF PEACEFUL/SAFIEST COUTRIES IN AFRICA SO AM SOOO CONFUSED WHAT U ARE TALKING ABOUT..OBAMA CLEARLY SAID THAT HE VISITED GHANA BCS MY COUNTRY IN ONE OF THE FEW AFRICAN COUNTRIES WITH A FAST/GROWTH ECONOMY ... SO STOP LYING..THX

[fineguh]

@TheMZLEXUS Yes they have not fought war but I wouldn't say peaceful or safest in africa. My friend that is a black lie sorry. All over africa & west africa in fact ghana and ivory coast are know for their racism towards their own fellow africans from other countries lmao ty.

[TheMZLEXUS]

@fineguh -Hahahaaha enyways entitle to ure opinion however I stand on my views..after sll u are u am me...

[oluwalogbon58]

even the white nations where begining to get fed up and obama was a breath of fresh air...obama was not elected to lead black america it was never about black america. whites would never elect a black civil rights leader, its impossible to do so.. because a civil rights leader represent minority interests and even if black americans voted in their entirerity for obama, it still wouldnt be enough without sufficient white votes to cover the rest .. he is not there to save us thats pure stupidity.

[oluwalogbon58]

the bush yrs. In fact i have read defenders of Rice on the grounds that she was a "sister who had gone far" .. so it wasnt about what she was doing, but the fact that she could do it with the help of her powerful white employer..she was sort of like an overseer and bush was the plantation master who cracked his whip on the world where he sent in his troops to crush the rebellious slaves .. thats how the rest of the world saw america back then.. a paraiah and abuser and a hypocrite.

[oluwalogbon58]

obama is a politician and he represents american interests which, are not in variance with african interests no matter which country on the continent. those who cant figure this out are going to be very disappointed, it was never about "freeing africa" when it came to obama , it was about opening and crushing that glass ceiling in the mind of blacks who have always held themselves back when it came to power.. I have never heard AA's complain about condi Rice in all the yrs of blogging during

[justinskilkreig]

@oluwalogbon58 shut up man what have you ever done for Africa, eshulogo not oluwalogbon i bet u live here in the west but were born in Africa, so who is the real traitor, do you pay tax to any african country, where is your money -goatmouth......obama is a politician and he represents american interests...Americans voted for him not Africans ...so???

.......

[oluwalogbon58]

the problem with obama is that he is not a civil rights leader, not elected to rep black america , not elected to represent the interests of african countries or africans as a whole.. and because of this, he is gathering a lot of hatred from blacks who actually thought it was about them when it never was and never will be.. all i wanted was to see and end to the grip of the neo conservatives on foreign policy initialtives coming from the states. condilizard Rice was a tool yet nobody complained

[arronnov]

African people have this romance with this savior bullshit from the fake and false religion of Christanity. There were plenty of people complaining about Ms. Rice. I could tell she hate who she was and if I called her African she would probably shoot me. She wants to be a European women.

[oluwalogbon58]

you are right about rice, she is a total american and fights for american rights.. she gained from the civil rights era and pulled herself up threw education, but her job was never to give a damn about her more unfortunate black citizens . afterall, where was condi when katrina was going on,? in new york buying $3,000 shoes. !! what she and obama show is that it can be done if you want power enough you can get it.. but you have to hit th books first as there is no other way, politics, dirty

[Sensaistar7]

You know your trippin right. First read his book Letters to My father before you critize. Probably spelled that wrong but you get my picture. Secondly, represent yourself. He took a job. The fact that Obama has heart enough to represent America says alot about him. He's getting killed in the media. As all black men are every night on any major nighty news broadcast in a major city in this country. He's being blocked in legislation. And he on top of that has haters like you tripping.

[oluwalogbon58]

what are you yapping on about ? i dont live in america so why should i give a rats ass about your legislative process? do you care about legislation in other countries ? no. i thought as much so dont bother me, its politics , thats the name of the game.. duh!!

[oluwalogbon58]

To be honest, i think the whole trip to ghana was a photo op rather than a particularly meangingful journey.. it was pure media and rather than talk about slave merchants loving their children he would have been better off going to kenya and dealing with the leaders there.

[arronnov]

Let's not forget the African Holocaust does include the Sahara Slave trade involving the Islamic Arabic beast who today say that were friends and brothers. They want us all to convert to Islam their so-called religion of peace. Dar fur in the Sudan shows us Africans that the more things change the more things stay the same. We Africans need to understand that the white and Arab man aren't are friends and have been our enemies point blank.

[Harun251]

"Get them to imagine themselves as being the slave merchant"

The Jews don't teach their children about what Hitler was "going through" when he murdered them in gas chambers. The Native Americans don't teach their children about what Paleface was "going through" when he stole their land and all but annihilated them. Why should we as Black slave descendants imagine what our forefathers murderers were "going through" when they outright destroyed us in every aspect imaginable? Pure foolishness.

[arronnov]

Good post! I thought this half breed now to me is crazy trying to compare parallel or consider the so-called European so-called Jews media driven Holocaust was anything close to near what Africans went through in our on going Holocaust. Maybe he should talk to his living Grandmother and the others elders in Kenya about the past since the white man came there in Kenya and Africa. Ask them if they considered what the white beast was going through.Its was Africans fault for the white man behavior!!

[Harun251]

"Do you think what happened here still has resonance in America?"

Obama's response to this question was as superficial and generic as what any White man would say. The resonance of Slavery can be seen and felt in Black America right now today. Almost every issue in the Black community has roots in Slavery; Gang violence, Poverty, Division, etc. The fact that Anderson Cooper asked this question shows that he knows it does. Obama is the 21st century prototype Tom.

[arronnov]

I didn't a double take and had a reflective deep thought for about 10min when he made that statement. Its just let me know that our enemies are still out there and either they want us destroyed or up under their control. I realize that all our people are not going to wake up until it hits them straight in the face. Where are equal bullshit should be put to rest after his first visit to African and his words on slavery in those slave dungeons.

[Harun251]

" I realize that all our people are not going to wake up until it hits them straight in the face. "

I couldn't agree more. Hurricane Katrina was that "cold slap in the face", and these Negroes are still in a comatose thinking they are "American" citizens. A damn shame!

[arronnov]

I also know and feel like my man Bobby Hemmit says were not going to be able to say everybody. Alot of our ignorant and asleep Africans sisters and brothers are going to die. All we can do is keep broadcasting the conscious truth through the means of word of mouth the computer daily contact and etc. Everybody is not going to be saved on this level of consciousness.

[Harun251]

Obama is the first and only African-American I've seen who compares the Jewish Holocaust to "Slavery." Not even the most Oreo Negroes would give the Holocaust the same recognition as Slavery. It's also strange how he never talks about Black people without including another group.

[arronnov]

He's a agent sellout uncle tom or what ever you want to call him. I think he did realize what he was getting into til it was to late. Remember around June you could see the look on his face changed and his spirit look down. They may have threaten Michelle and the kids if he did keep going on with the campaign. Remember who his professor was is college at Columbia.Zbigniew Brzezinski who was the author of Memo 46.

[arronnov]

He was the National Security advisory for Carter. He is also a Jew and part of other high level organization like the tri lateral commission. He suppose to be a expert on foreign policy towards other countries. So many people say memo 46 is a fake but pretty much everything in that memo is going to form.

[Sista81]

@Harun251 Very good point!

[oluwalogbon58]

hurricane katrina was the thank you black americans got for voting bush in twice!! if not for the black vote bush would not have come back again in 04

[oluwalogbon58]

you have a good point here but dont blame obama , he is a politcian and politics is not about being honest about things .. if it was it it would not be politics.. obama went to ghana to send a message to kenya to get their act together.

[oluwalogbon58]

why is obama a "half breed" considering that all black american cannot not be pure african because of the nature of the slave trade and no matter how black they might look they will have white or native indian blood in them, what type of statement is that.? his african part which is half of him is pure african because his father is from africa and from kenya , he has no slave ancestry at all.

[arronnov]

Obama is a sellout uncle and a Trojan Horse. African people better understand that we have no friends. Just people who want the physically and natural resources of African people and Africa. We seem to forget history somebody who consider African ends up selling us out.

[oluwalogbon58]

if you are an american then from your viewpoint and ours it is america that is taking our resources , if you are an african with an african base then from your viewpoint you are being robbed..

[oluwalogbon58]

it was never about friendship ,that is pure fantasy i think that black americans are far too romantic in their view of black africa and how africans operate. this isnt america we are talking about, its not that simple, its not about the slaves and the masters out in the continent. this trip was pure theatre and obamas trip was to satisfy the home audience.. simple as that.

[Harun251]

All African-Americans may not be "pure", but the majority of them at least have two Black parents. Obama calls himself a mutt on the sole base that his mother was a White woman.

[MissLondonful]

The African experience was a Hell-of- a-Holocaust lasting over 500 years. Even today 100s millions of Africans are scattered around the world without knowledge of their true identity, heritage, language or culture, had no healing, still wounded and traumatised. Not only should we never forget the despicable torture and inhumane sadistic nature of the Europeans who dealt this treatment on the Africans but also what they are capable of. If we dont learn from it, it could happen again.

[rphillips111]

Since I love the truth--after all, the truth shall set you free--I despise and fear propaganda.

Obama made his public relations trip to Ghana a while back. This arrticle and comment line has been around a number of days now.

There have been seven post--now eight. Three of them have been my own. I'd say, based on those statistics, the country has paid about as much attention to his visit as it deserved.

[ChanaYah100]

I don't believe that Obama feel the empathy for our black people because he keep bringing up Bukenwald and the "white" so called jewish holocaust. Mr. Obama is a WHITE man and black people better be careful.

[Politicx1984]

Point well made.

[HeshimaJameni]

I think black people should be careful about you, ChanaYah100.

[goyneser1]

I click the wrong vote...you are right. obama is a white man in black skin. Either that or he's tap dancing. I tend to believe the former that's why I didn't vote fr the man. I have white friends & I know all they want is a better white american global image in the world after Bush showed to much of their true colors. Still no proper respect for the black holocaust & the global wealth black slaves were force to create. Blacks were human credit cards for the whole world economy. Rise again!

[justinskilkreig]

@goyneser1 -fuck you too goatmouth im gonna see ur site bet ur a Jewish racist

stupid niggers always get conned by urtype

[Sensaistar7]

I feel you on the Blacks were used as human credit cards but we didn't collect our interest or the total due. What I don't feel you on is saying that Obama is a white man in a Black Man's body. Have you read either one of his two books? Have you done your homework on who funded his campaign? That leads you towards why he says what he says about the economy. Yes he is a puppet in some respects but so is any CEO. They are the embodiment of collected interest.

[Bomani2007]

During the African Holocaust throughout West Africa from the early 1500's to mid 1800's 100's of millions of Africans died. Death total is estimated to be about 250 million. It is important to do your own research. By the way black people in America do not live in varying degree of happiness. Black people in America are exploited in an unbelievable amount of ways for the benefit of white America that's how it was designed. JOB is a modern day plantation. RESPECT OUR HOLOCAUST THIS IS VERY REAL.

[rphillips111]

To me, there is only one holocaust, and that occurred in Europe during WWII, the most horrific mass example of man's inhumanity to man in history.

I resent the Holocaust being propagandized and used by others to promote their own agenda and secure sympahy and support for their own political and social ends.

[rphillips111]

The "holacaust"In Ghana centuries ago rather than in Europe in WWII?

Slavery like the experience of the holacaust? Yeah, the real holacaust led to millions dead in Europe, and slavery led to hundreds of millions living in varing degrees of happiness in the Americas. Obama's claim AAs are the "most american" of us, and AA society "uniquely existed' in the country hundreds of years.

Marxists love to re-write (and invent) history to suit the current agenda. Propaganda is Obama.

[HeshimaJameni]

So you are saying that millions of Africans who died through the passage and during enslavement in the Americas were not people? Are you saying that millions of survivors of the European holocaust during WWII do not live in various degrees of luxury in Europe, the Americas and elsewhere in the world? This is not about who suffered more than the other in history. It is about who is suffering right now and what we can all do about it!

[KwameCZ]

@rphillips111 Varying degrees of happiness? The fact that one race enslaves another has no happiness in it, no matter what the outcome in the future is. I wonder what Caucasians would be saying now if their forefathers had been enslaved

[AkubaCAB]

I've been there before but as an African, my parents were both born in Africa and I do not trace myself back to slaves, but I tell you this for nothing, the experience of walking through there.. its overwhelming.. theres something there for everyone not just african americans, for me I can think how would I feel if my sister was taken from me which is the position that we africans are in. There are things I agree with and things that I don't in this interview...

[Bomani2007]

We have taken 2 big groups to Ghana Oct 2007 & 2008. One of the main attractions on our itinerary is the Cape Coast and Elmina Holocaust Dungeons. I can sense the tension going through President Obama. I have always said that we have to be in these African Holocaust Dungeons to experience the experience and connect with what happen to our ancestors. Anyway what do you think about this interview? Have you been there before?
