Dear Jawaid sb.,
You have made good points. I will respond a little later. Fow now I am forwarding this to Pervaiz sb. as he will be posting all comments on the FOTH web. Here is what I wrote to Pervaiz responding to his e-mail.
"Great. I think we can explore different aspects. We can explore what it may mean for the middle east and south Asia. What it can mean for Canada. What it may mean for people of color. How profoundly it will change the psyche of people. How white supremacists see it and if it will make a dent in their thinking. How our new generation see it. What will be possible disappointments. What are the challenges.
It seems a very debatable point. Even there is talk about Obama conspiracy. here is an excerpt of M.Asadi's article on Chowk website:
"What will be the end result of Barack Obama’s election as President of the United States? For one thing, the global economic crisis will not vanish in his first term in office, causing great discontent among the people who had pinned high hopes on him. The result of this ‘failure’ as planned by the U.S. elite would be to play upon the well developed stereotypes of Blacks in the U.S as ‘good for nothing’, to discredit Black leadership well into the future. Barack Obama might well be the first and the last (one term only) Black U.S president ever. What it does do is maintain the racial boundaries by such “objective failure” both in the U.S and around the globe while at the same time buying time for a system that oppresses the many to stabilize itself. Second, the militarized capitalism of which the masses in the U.S and around the globe are wary will also be legitimized using Obama. The GWOT (global war on terrorism) will engulf Pakistan, and might require U.S troops occupying large areas of the country’s western frontier, setting the stage for an Iran invasion. There will be little change if any in the foreign policy arena. As far as U.S reputation around the globe is concerned, it will improve, but not due to Obama’s leadership, in fact due to his perceived failure because blame now will be placed on an “other”, a well constructed “other” and not the visible face of the U.S that is always White. In the unforeseen (and unexpected) circumstance of the “Barack Conspiracy” backfiring or producing unintended consequences, he will not be allowed to last in office."
Thoughts of members of Family of Heart are appreciated.
