The Revolution Is Here



“I have a dream... That one day that my poor little children, will live in a nation where, they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character...” Martin Luther King.

Asalam aleykum, my brothers and sisters.

Today, I come to you with a heavy heart. Never before, have I ever witnessed such a relevant event in history. Just when we thought God had forgotten us, he sends us an angel, to save us from our own ignorance, misfortune and torture.

It’s funny, as much as there are elements in this world of ours that believe in “White Domination”, such as the KKK, all the US presidents except Thomas Jefferson weren’t pure white... An oxymoron right?

So now a biracial man with roots in two 3rd world countries, of humble upbringing, part Muslim, ends up the leader of the “Free World”. If ever the “American Dream” has ever come close to being fulfilled, well that was today.

America needed someone who has seen poverty, lived in it, risen above it, for him/her, to actually know how to approach and deal with it.

I as an African, am ecstatic, to say the least! Especially since, American foreign policy in regard to Africa, has been, “If you let our companies provide this for you, then we’ll give you grants to fight HIV/AIDS...” which I don’t even need to describe how unethical that is!!!

What happened to the times when the US would be known only to support nations that are committed to democracy? Just as my boy told me yesterday, the past 8 years have the epitome of the US’s “Hypocrisy of Democracy”.

I can only hope, “Our Son”, will not follow suite. The US, needs that change. But as he said, he will provide the environment for change. In the end, it’s up to every individual to bring the change they want in their life.

But one thing he already has achieved is giving the world hope. I mean, who ever knew a black man could beat a white supremacist party (yeah, that’s what I think about the Republican Party), in a country with 80% white dominance?

But don’t get me wrong, that’s not what I think about Senator John Mc Cain. I saw a documentary that actually answered ever single possible question I could have to both candidates. Too bad it was aired in Kenya and not where it was needed.

I actually really gained a lot of respect for Mc Cain. He isn’t the person media houses where pushing him to be. To a certain extent, I think if Hillary Clinton was the Republican candidate and Mc Cain, Obama’s opponent on the Democratic ticket, well, Obama wouldn’t have won.

Truth be told, George W. Bush (both of them) fucked up the US so badly, that it really didn’t matter who was running after them, the masses just wanted a Democrat.

Therefore, the real fight would have been during the primaries. And I can assure you, Mc Cain would’ve won... I have mad love for President Barrack Hussein Obama, but honestly, he wouldn’t have stood a chance. Real talk.
