UNGAWA BLACK POWAH...

Barack Obama, the Democratic Party's New Force

well white folks, it finally happened! black people now control the world!!

ok, not really, just fckin' wif y'all. but indeed the words of a black man, with the physical features of a malcolm x, indeed a muslim name; the words of a possible president or vice-president of the united states in 2009 with the possible legal precedent left over (perhaps) by vice-president dick chaney to be in control of the military and going to war, that if need be we're going in with our military to get al-queda and osama bin laden once and for all, with or without the help of pakistan's president musharraf, shook up the world today. pakistan is considering declaring a state of emergency to shore up its sovereignty. we are now facing a new plateau, in that loss of musharraf's alliance will have to shake up u.s. strategy in the region, a situation the next president will surely inherit. barack has made a name for himself and shook up the world.

we're not looking at a warmonger, or any other person that has come forth for this office before, or at least not for some time. a bobby kennedy-self-style and grace longed for by america for so long, and a 21st century renaissance man at that, barack brings the hopes and prayers of many who want world peace, equity, the security of mutual trust not unilateral fear, comfort and livability for all, prosperity for all, love for all things terran. his words and approaches may bring lasting peace and foster in an era of socioeconomic parity, or perhaps begin the the ugliest phase of the war on terror in years to come. with the world braced for what happens next, that's unprecedented power that black america hasn't seen asserted since stokley carmichael uttered, no SHOUTED, those famous words "BLACK POWER" in 1966.

so what if a black man takes the anglo-american diaspora into probably the largest global conflict the western caucasian powers have faced since their colonial grip started weakening in the 1950s and 60s? in case you haven't noticed, the west is steadily losing its economic and political grip on world events, a deveoping trend since the early 2000s and china. that said, america is still technologically an economically strong, and still the best hope in any military conflict. another 'coalition of the willing' could produce a significant military deterrence. but lead by a black man? o'yeah buddy, that would be phat...

whichever way it goes, i think barack's words, no matter how inexperienced, should tell america and the world that the time for change is imminent, and we should prepare AND strive for a new way of thinking. otherwise, we face endless conflict with more deadly weapons and a certain demise as a planet. he may not understand fully how the white house works, but he does understand how america feels. besides, if he's there it won't be a "white house" anymore anyway, will it?
