Take the presidency of William J. Clinton for example, he remains wildly popular with African Americans, seems to be concerned about the suffering of people worldwide and never misses the chance to appear with African Leaders like Nelson Mandela.
Then there is the Presidency of George W. Bush, he is mistrusted among most (leftist liberal) African Americans, seems standoffish about the suffering of people worldwide and is shunned by African Leaders like Nelson Mandela for his failure to work with the United Nation on key issues. Yes I have given you what would be the comparison of the two men that the so-called mainstream press has portrayed.
Those (African) Americans who have foolishly brought in to the conception have no business calling themselves African-Americans,when "sellout" is a better term for this bunch.
You see when it comes down to Africa, it is George W. Bush that has done more for Africa than Bill Clinton, Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Julian Bond and the Congressional Black (Democrat) Caucus combine.
Remember the debates that lead up to the 2000 General Election and how black Democrats promised us that if George W. Bush was elected that Africa would be nowhere on his agenda? This coming from a group blackened hypocrites, who 6 years earlier stood by and watched the wholesale slaughter of 800,000 of their brethren.
To understand my last statement, I must take you back nearly 10 years to the African Nation of Rwanda. For many months and years tribal hatred had been simmering between the Tutsis and Hutus. On April 6th 1994 with the downing of a government aircraft carrying Rwandan President Habyarimana catalyst for the worst ethnic strife since World War 2.
United State Ambassador to the United Nation Madeline Albright and State Department Officials such as Anthony Lake, Christine Shelly and Mike McCurry could not even bring themselves to the point of letting the term “ethnic cleansing” pass their lips because of pressure from Clinton Officials.
Mr. Clinton’s semi-intelligent approach towards ethnic cleansing and the general suffering of Africans was not limited to Rwanda, but extended to the Congo, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Liberia and Mauritania. African Americans in the United States have for too long failed to understand their historical connect to Africa and I wonder if Bill Clinton would enjoy the same amount of support in our community if his foreign policy record towards Africa was fully exposed? Beyond the photo-op diplomacy with selected leaders from African Nations like Ghana and African Americans who craved political power i.e. Jesse Jackson’s appointment as special envoy to Africa in 1997 there is nothing of substance in the former president’s foreign policy towards Africa.
Bill Clinton’s foreign policy towards Africa should be labeled “racist and selective” since it was basically rooted in the purpose of political gain. Remember this is the same President who went to war on the pretext of ethnic cleansing to save fair-skinned Muslims in the Eastern European Nation of Bosnia and the Serbian province Kosovo after the lost of the Democrat Congress (Bosnia) and Impeachment (Kosovo). Bull Connor and Senator Robert Byrd could not have written a better foreign policy.
Now fast forward nearly 10 years to the present with George W. Bush in the white house and black Democrats and leaders demanding that he do deploy US Troops to end the warfare in Liberia and that the lack of US Troops taking part in Liberian Peacekeeping Operations would be considered racist by this crowd. Funny when did Liberia become an issue for the Congressional Black (Democrat) Caucus and self-styled leaders like Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and Susan Rice? Charles Taylor has finally departed Liberia after 14 years as (first a warlord and then its president) may this nation finally find a long sought and fought for peace in the wake of his departure, but Charles Taylor would not be in exile today if it where not for the efforts of Bush Officials working with West African Leaders to bring about the deployment of West African Peacekeepers.
Since taking office Bush has given Africa Nations a seat at the table of world leaders seeking to combating AIDS, global terrorism, slavery and the economic development, despite his poor showing among African Americans in 2000. Secretary of State Colin Powell has made meeting with and listening to the concerns of African Leaders a priority that even former President Jimmy Carter lashed out at him for doing so and Rwanda steadfast support of our actions in Iraq.
The records of these two presidents are plain and simply and Bill Clinton may indeed enjoy the title of the first African American (Black) President, but it should be George W. Bush that enjoys the title of the first African America President with street creed and posse of real (African) American Leaders to boot.
Sixth 'graph: "a group blackened of hypocrites"
I'd rework that ninth paragraph as well, if I were you. I can glean where you're going, but rewording it might make it a bit clearer.
Other than those points, I like it, my friend...
Those (African Americans who have foolishly bought into the concept have no......
