Barack, An Obama Part 2

It is nice to know we as the country of the USA have or should I say will have a new President. I continue to hear how Obama is inheriting many, well documented deficits and financial incompetence's along with having to surround himself with a new administration.

Now as an Aboriginal person first, I will do my part to first acknowledge that, I will hope the best for our new soon to be President and PRAY for our new president. Have I done this in the past? No. Because to me it was never even conceived in my mind to pray for a being that is so.......way out there, that it never really mattered. Now, as I become older and much more concerned for peoples well being, I will pray and hope that Barack, Michelle and the rest of the family are not infiltrated with ill-mean-greedy spirited people. Who would like to see the demise of our new elected President.

Aboriginal peoples across turtle Island have yet to celebrate our new President elect. We have occupied this country from day one. And yet, we our still yet to be fully recognized and taken seriously from the state all the way to the national levels of government. We definitely, as traditional people know that the governments that are governing our people have not worked and will never continue to work for the betterment of the individual nations. One thing I have noticed about our new president elect is the fact that, if in fact, there is going to be a change, than he will have to surround his cabinet with older, wise people, people who might not have an educational background, but know a lot about history and local economies. These people I am referring to need to be people people, not systems people. We have been lead to believe that systems and the systems that have continued to be are always the right answer for the nation as a whole. This, I hope Obama will meditate on and " get his vision-on the hill."

I think when it comes to the restructuring of our tribal governments, Obama will not only consult the original inhabitants of turtle island, but that he will take the time out to fast and seek his answers not only for the original inhabitants but the rest of the elderly and the nation.

Can the country survive with the "regular" form of government? Probably not! It has to be restructured and re looked at from the beginning of it's source; the education system. This system has changed so dramatically in the past 200 years, that we as a nation have been brainwashed into thinking that every part of "education" is good. I tend to disagree. It is too damaging and has too many parallels to the military form of education. The rule, " do as I say-or you will be put in your place and made a fool." This whole attitude and ideal has to be acknowledged and looked upon very seriously. If most people do not know the past, not only will they live their lives with false ideals and philosophies, they will continue to not understand why they are living in a country that only benefits the "educated and well to do"(A direct link)

To Be Continued...

Our new President-My Momma, Osama and Obama

I am overwhelmed that we have a black president. Overwhelmed in the fact, that not only is Barack the first black president and has brought a record number of people to the poles. I am overwhelmed because maybe, just maybe their might be a minute amount of honesty in the country. Why else would there be a Black president? I have heard the main stream press talk about what Barack is inheriting in his new-soon to be position. The one thing that people tend to forget is Barack is also inheriting the new powers that come with being the PRESIDENT.

Much legislation has been set like a snowball to get ready to shove down the hill. Do you think Barack is going to end both wars? Some of the legislation I am referring to is the patriot acts, both one and two. The Posse Commatatis act and how the president has new-god like powers. Is Mr. Obama going to prosecute the corporations and banks that our leaving us with the 700 billion bail out?

How about the infrastructure in Baghdad , Kuwait and other numerous city's that our still being rebuilt in the name of Haliburton, Kellogg and brown. How about the black hawk armies that are located within Turtle Island? What, oh what is Barack going to do with all his inherit rights?

For the guys and gals who have racial differences and issues with Barack, I say, do some soul searching and find where your true bloodline originates from. How about trying to be a person of color for a day or maybe try experience some of the things people of color witness everyday in this country. Imagine having or knowing that their have been hidden forces that be, that rule, judge and limit you from being "equal" in this country. Also imagine that, not only are you experiencing this phenomena but that, these forces that have been, have affected your Great-Great-Grand Relatives right up to your own children. Can you or would you even begin to digest these historical " norms" that have been the principals of foundation for this country since it's origin?
Now, imagine after centuries of persecution, injustices and imbalances that you might, just might not have to experience these things in the severity that they have always been presented. Maybe, with the new President elect, their is a HOPE of change and goddammit, it's time to make the ends meet.

I am overwhelmed. I am happy and I am glad to know that we have a Black President-elect. Instead of the white house, maybe he can start calling it the black house ( from the Rap group Public Enemy ). Now our currency can get some color back into it. How about if Barack doles out a new 5 dollar bill with a picture of Malcolm X and in the back ground a house on fire. We could have both Black and Aboriginal leaders on all the currency, with pictures and symbols that tend to show the past and where the past has lead the people of color when it comes to the U.S.A.

But, sadly what about Osama? We are currently occupying his country for what? For the control of all that nice Opium. Is that why our troops are really in Afghanistan? Is the new President keep everything under the carpet or is he going to expose the lie rs, thieves and financial thugs of this country?
