Barack Obama: stupid anti-British racist

It was hailed a miracle! The USA having their first black president (although solely a puppet and only half black), light at the end of the tunnel for a very racist country to start again as a fair society and hope to end the severe rich-poor divide in the country we all know as corporate whoreville.
It was assumed change would happen solely on the colour of his skin. Although clearly skin colour doesn’t define the person you are, there was no right for such an assumption that because pro-war Bush was white that a black man would be the complete opposite (see racism works both ways). I could name many black leaders/dictators past and present to dismiss any claims that these white politicians are particularly evil – when the whole international politics situation is corrupt as fuck regardless of nationally, race, gender and sexuality.
This article is basically to highlight an Clarkson article in The Sun (Saturday 12th) which I very much agree with – so will publish snippets in this article. It is well worth a read of the full article.
Before I do this however, Obama whom doesn’t want to end the war for Oil (arguable) or to reduce his country’s oil demands by smaller engines (how can the engines that drink so much fuel when they hardly produce much horsepower?) or investment in cleaner renewable forms of energy (hence the war); doesn’t like the British and wants to blame someone else for their demands of non-renewable energy. As BP was once called British Petroleum this fits the bill although, its approx 40% owned by Americans and its management in this disaster was american.
Ironically, USA are bullies who cannot go a couple of years without fighting a war, as this brings a sense of hunger which helps them develop technology faster (the “Cold War” for example); so if they branched out and invested in other energy forms then they wouldn’t have needed to go to war and the demands for more oil wouldnt be so great.
Did I mention USA were so dependent on Oil? We all are to an extent. The US Government even allowed the shortcuts to save money yet needed to point the finger of blame. Reminds me of something actually… yeah, Toyota. The US Government managed to mess that up too… oh and I wont start with the global financial crisis!!
Clarkson Snippets:
AS Barack Obama toured the States in his election campaign, I must say I thought he looked like a stupid idiot. And so it’s turned out to be. He’s got it into his head that his grandad was tortured by the British in Kenya and Barack seems to harbour a dislike for us as a result.
One of his first acts as president was to remove a bust of Winston Churchill from the Oval Office and return it to the British Embassy.
Then, when he needed someone to blame for the oil spillage, he ignored the American workers and management who were in charge when the rig blew, he ignored the American demand that makes deep-sea drilling necessary and he ignored the fact that the company is called BP.
Barack, then, cannot sit on his high horse pointing his finger at the British when his own country has killed more guillemots than the rest of the world combined… and people for that matter.
You may even have forgiven America for ruining the world’s economy with its greed.
You may think that Obama’s anti-British stance signals the end of the so-called Special Relationship. Well don’t, because it never existed. They spent most of the First World War wondering if they should support Germany. They were hideously late for the Second World War and only joined in because Japan declared war on them. They screwed us in the Suez and I don’t remember seeing any US Air Force jets helping us out in the Falklands.
Meanwhile, we trotted along to help them out in Iraq and Afghanistan, allowing them to say the wars were “international”. And what do we get in return?

the above was recently played on a radio show presented by nick ferrari,the amount of bandwagon childish behavior shown is beyond belief,what is supposed to be the greatest country in the world has sat back and let this disaster unfold in the meanwhile with environmental disaster.
people here on the forum have often been the victims of mental torture by being unemployed,being bullied/abused and benefits unjustly threatened or withheld forced to participate in unethical programs’ to obtain basic food to live.you dont have to have been in Kenya.
to blame everyone for being from a country is simply plane stupidity at it greatest,its plane capitalist greed fueled by profits demand and is another case of the environment suffering.
The bust of Churchill was a loan made to George W. Bush; Obama returned in because because he decided to have only pictures or sculptures of American leaders in his office.
If he prefers to look at the face of Lincoln rather than Churchill, that is not anti-British prejudice; it’s personal preference for the politics of Lincoln. Or maybe he’s just into stovepipe hats. In any case, not wanting to look at Churchill’s bulldog face doesn’t mean someone is “anti-British”.
I’m aware that it’s hard on the dole (spent a lot longer there myself than I wanted to) but it can only figuratively be called torture. What we did in Kenya was ACTUAL torture. I don’t know the details of what happened to Mr Obama’s father, but plenty of other Kenyans were tortured and murdered by British soldiers.
It does nobody any good to deny this. I’m not saying we should throw ourselves into paroxysms of guilt over the dark places in our imperial past – but we should at least acknowledge that they exist.
Totally agree however still to this day the CIA tortures suspects around the world and Guantanamo Bay still exists as far as I am aware.
So is it wrong for his father to be treated so crap (my response: of course) yet him be the President or a nation that still does such torture techniques on suspect accused for crimes and imprisoned without trial? A nation that forgets about the HUGE amount of residents who are in severe poverty. A nation that is accused of plotting 9/11. A nation that is involved in war – murdering approx 10 times more innocent people (including British soldiers) than terrorists. Lets not even go back as far as the slave trade… A nation with approx 200 people in Guantanamo bay who remains poor degrading torture treatment although Jan 2009, the same man (Obama) promised its closure within a year. I could go on!
He is hypocrite. When its family its wrong, when its just foreign strangers and residents of his country its perfectly OK.
Britain has never denied its involvement in most of the evil past – its all agreed to for International Relations – our PM saying “sorry” on behalf of, clearly as he wasn’t even born when it happened. This said, who can judge looking at it from the point of view that if for the British Empire etc. that we could have ended up as the Third World? “Its pretty crap up in Scotland”… thats what they say, never been so cant agree with it. A lot of Europe had its own Empires etc. and this is all what defined todays world. You can’t look back without thinking its disgusting and wrong (mind you at the time there wasnt written Human Rights) but things could have been so different today, if things were different back then. Similar how America wouldnt be what it si today without the slade trade.
As for BP… this Kenya stuff is irrelevant. However bad it might be, USA has a worse desire to want to be invading countries and murdering its people than we ever did.
Flexible:
Point taken about Obama’s hypocrisy. Our acts in Kenya were half a century ago whereas he’s torturing people now
To be fair to the guy, I think he is trying to do something about that but finding that it’s hard going. His recent attempted Healthcare legislation is a case in point. It was basically a much watered down version of our NHS – but the things that were said about it (and believed) by the US press were astonishing. I think the US press is worse than ours, hard to believe as that may be.
I’m going to pretend that I didn’t hear you say that or that you’re being ironic or something. Nobody dumb enough to take that seriously for even a second is worth listening to about anything.
I think that blaming the US for our casualties is completely off the wall. We didn’t have to go to war, Blair took us there and from that point the blame is ours. Or, here’s a stretch, the blame belongs to the people who actually killed our troops. And, incidentally, I don’t consider the killing of soldiers during war to be murder. Nor does the Geneva Convention.
Agreed, lets not. I somehow think Obama would be against it
Again, I think he has tried to do something but has found it’s not that easy. The biggest criticism you can make of him, I think, is that he’s spineless. He could have pushed the closure of Guantanamo and the Healthcare stronger, but he didn’t dare.
Now that’s completely untrue. I do remember Blair saying sorry for the potato famine a while back, but neither he nor any other PM has apologised for our actions in Kenya or many other places. We deny that what we did was torture (excessive force is the official term, I believe. No mention of herding 75,000 people into concentration camps where they were beaten, starved and left to die of typhus and suchlike caused by the unsanitary conditions, poor diet and brutality.) We deny the number of people we murdered (11,000 is the official figure whereas most historians consider upwards of 50,000 Kenyans to have been murdered by the British. The number of white settlers murdered by the Mau Mau was 32, incidentally, and this is usually considered – by the British – to be justification for the British atrocities.) And there’s a denial in general about what we actually did and how we did it. There’s little said about the actual incidences of torture (as opposed to brutality) which is well documented.
And there are other places than Kenya. We don’t talk about those either.
So it was us or them? Be serious. Want a counter example? Sweden didn’t have an empire (they gave up on the idea after the battle of Poltava) and they didn’t end up a third world country.
My view of the British Empire is that it lasted too long. We should have given it up after the First World War. or the Seconfd, at the latest. Most of the worst atrocities – Kenya, Amritsar, the Malaysian war, etc. – happened after the first and second world wars when all these countries were trying to get independence. they all succeeded in the end, but in trying to stop them we resorted to terrible acts.
You’d think we’d learn. Iraq and Afghanistan will be no different. But that’s America’s problem, we’re just tagging along (as Bill Bailey says, we’re like the little kid who tags along with the school bully who, after the bully’s made his threats, sticks his head round and goes “Yeah”)
