The People’s World
Stockholm,
Sweden.
28th July (My Father Theodore’s birthday)
#Rabbi Yaron Reuven has already told us about the role of money in any political enterprise.
So, if it’s true, as the bard said, that “Money doesn’t talk, it swears”, then the question arises, where do you think that all the money raised as campaign funds is going to go? And here, we’re talking about the several hundreds of millions of $, $$$, $$$, $$$, $$$ in the Democrats’ Campaign War Chest .
Where is it all going to
if not to advertise and pro-
pa-gan-dise for Kamala
as the most beautiful
piece of political hardware
machinery that money can buy:
the perfect fit
for the oval office
and that when she finally sits
on the throne with her hubby
chubby Douglas Emhoff the wannabe
so called “First Gentleman”
by her side - like Charles III & Camilla
and the other wannabes Harry & Meghan -
not this lascivious one ( Megan Thee Stallion) -
that then she, President Kamala Harris,
the first Asian-American President of the US,
will deliver on all of her pork barrel promises?
Of course, an Indian-American President of the US could be good for US-India relations, just as the recently defeated Rishi Sunak ( by a landslide) was good for India ( the Jewel In the crown) - UK relations.
( And by the way, talking about jewels, anti-Semitically or etymologically speaking, I can’t quite remember if it was Khalid Muhammad or Professor Griff that said the word Jewellery, comes from the word Jew )
And now to the main dish on the menu :
This ethnocentric / Afrocentric business having been so generously financed by the campaign funds in action, being promoted by Black Commentator that “ It’s Kamala Time “ - and posted by none less than Gloria Emeagwali,
Connecticut’s most respected Queen
Grand Duchess of African Studies
puts one in mind of this meme:
My main question here is this : Since the USA is currently not an Apartheid State, why is there such a great fuss about skin colour ? What if Trump was Black? Preposterous question? Well a big fuss is being made that Jesus was/ is Black, thereby suggesting that his Heavenly Father or his earthly mother could have been Black? Is Kamala Black? Is she “wheat-coloured”? What if she was “White”? White Skin colour can be deceptive you know, just as the Yardies say about some of the Black British Police : “ Coconuts” , i.e., may look brown on the outside but are totally white ( whitewashed) inside.
As Lady Macbeth said to her husband , “My hands are of your colour, but I shame to wear a heart so white"
If Old Joe Biden thought that Kamala was that great, then why did he wait so long to abdicate?
Ditto : If Barack & Michelle thought that Kamala was that great, why did they wait so long to endorse her and why was their phone call to Kamala televised?
Even assuming that all the Black folks with souls are assembled behind Kamala - an improbability, for balance here’s a random sampling of some contrariness from the other side of the coin:
The Truth About Kamala Harris & The Democrat Puppet Show
Black Gay Veteran RIPS Kamala Harris to SHREDS! Based Trump supporter BREAKS it all DOWN... [regret]
It’s good when historian in excelsis Emeagwali weighs in or posts on such an existential issue, because she’s well-informed, usually has the right sentiments (just as I sometimes also have the right sentiments - once upon a time in South Africa, the call was “Black is Black : I want my country back” , such as any day from circa 50 years ago till today, I would much prefer any of these types of outstanding Black female African-Americans and fast forward to the last 50 years and someone like e.g. Angela Davis -prefer her type to the likes of Kamala H as first female Black President of USA, because, (a) She (Angela) would - if possible by executive order, get rid of or at least reform The Prison-Industrial Complex, whereas , judging from Kamala Harris’ record as a prosecutor in California, we can safely surmise that despite her tall talk about “freedom” - a word that's supposed to resonate with the oppressed masses , Kamala would obviously be delighted to throw a few more Black brothers and sisters into the Alcatraz Federal Penitentiary but not the her favourite people in the Middle East who, even as you read this, are hell-bent on committing unimaginable atrocities, war crimes, genocide, and other unspeakable crimes against humanity….
With regard to Israel, the USA’s most dependable military outpost in that part of the world, here’s the latest from Daily Alert
Behind closed doors, during his latest visit to the power brokers in the US, Netanyahu having been assured of diplomatic cover etc , is confident that he can now go after Hezbollah -terrorise Hezbollah with the threat that they will use their Satanic nuclear arsenal if need be ,especially if Iran decides to join in the fray. As things are, Old Man Biden is not seeking re-election and this means that he feels that he can do as he please or as they -whoever they are will be telling him to do because in his heart of heart ,he probably still believes what Ariel Sharon said :
I imagine that since she - Lady ( Kamala) is supposedly already black, she’s not going to appoint a fellow darkie as her running mate ( that would be too much for White America) so she’ll probably appoint ( I almost wrote “ anoint” ) Josh Shapiro as her running mate. Some loose cannon/ free wheeling racist or assassin, recently escaped from the lunatic asylum and without any declared motive could -God forbid - bump her off - the way that they wanted to bump off Donald Trump - and de facto Shapiro would becomes the candidate or the Prezzo -or Kamala wins the election and then someone bumps her off - or and after her second term, she hands the baton over to Shapiro…

A short footnote on the notion that “Kamala is supposedly already black.”
It’s a bone of contention that will be seriously challenged and debated in race-conscious America in the coming weeks, starting with the kind of sentiments what we find being expressed here, “ The Truth About Kamala's Ethnicity”, perhaps worthy/ unworthy of V.S.Naipaul the guy or ”goy” who some people so loved to hate in this forum , to the extent that when I congratulated one of my Jamaican friends that a fellow Caribbean had been decorated with the Nobel Prize for Literature, he dismissed him contemptuously as a “Coolie Man”
Personally, I should say that since very long ago through the theory and practice of Kashmir Shaivism / Siddha Yoga/ Advaita Vedanta I should hope that I have transcended some of the vain categorisations of identity status associated with ethnicity, race, nationality, caste, noble or lowly birth, big poet, little pint pot poet, House Nigga claiming to be the "voice of God ", Mister Money Bags the dispenser of honey, author of a thousand best sellers, wannabe president etc …all is vanity

What’s this : Black America is not supporting Kamala Harris: Madeline Brame
But, for now, I submit to your better knowledge and judgement.
If we choose to go a little further back you must be 100% right since we all came from Africa; at least those were the opening remarks of one of the greatest then living Talmudists, Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz when he addressed the assembled congregation in the Great Synagogue of Stockholm,, and I'm quoting him absolutely correctly, because I was sitting at the edge of my seat , with bated breath ,pencil in hand,to take down the words of wisdom he was about to breath. His opening salvo was “ We all came from Africa” - thereby capturing everybody’s attention…
Mr Prasad ( ex-Osmania University) my neighbour in Ahoada in Nigeria was Telugu ,from Hyderabad ,and jet black in complexion, which , strictly speaking, does not necessarily make him “African” or of African origin. The children used to point at him, marvelling at this black man with straight black hair, like a white man.
To this day, I still don’t know whether when Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz said,” We all came from Africa” he was merely restating the idea that the Jewish people emigrated from Egypt after sojourning there for a few hundred years, or if , when he said “ we” he was referring to all mankind.
Ditto with Pharaoh Sanders blowing ” Our Roots began in Africa .”
So Kamala is of African descent? A soul sister?
BTW, I’m told that Idi Amin offered the Indians in Uganda, Ugandan citizenship but that they refused it and that made him ( Amin) hopping mad…
Ditto, most of the Jews in Algeria rejected the invitation to adopt Algerian citizenship before, during, and after the Algerian War of Independence. My Algerian friends say that they mostly chose to side with France..
At my secondary school there was an English couple teaching English -Mr. Holden and his Indian wife. Over here at Stockholm University -English department, research methods was taught by Mark Troy and Dr. Ishrat Lindblad who was Indian-born ( in my opinion, very correct, very British, and very nice -married to a Swede ( I think)
May the Almighty save the miscreants and the male chauvinist pigs from racism.
Re - “Barack and Michelle held back
endorsement, so that they would not
be accused of kicking out Joe to
put in their favorite” -
Only Barack and Michelle can certify that ; the rest of us have been given the impression that the Obamas would have much preferred a level playing field, and a more open process from which would emerge the most suitable candidate from the Democrats August convention….
Cornelius the Wise!
I think the more accurate handleshouldn’t be “Indian American” but “aBlack woman of Indian and Africandescent.”In this case it is Afro-Jamaican.
There is a theoretical difference between ethnicity and national identity.You can beof Ugandan nationality and also ofSouth Asian Indian ethnicity,simultaneously. Right?
Having said that, let me point outwhat I said to the late ken harrow:I do not necessarilyagree with the articles I post.
Barack and Michelle held backendorsement, so that they would notbe accused of kicking out Joe toput in their favorite- and the problemwith Joe Biden was that he refused to,or, could not read, the medicalwritings on the wall, as he slippedspeedily downhill into dementia.
Nice reading your post, as usual.
