Open letter to Barack Obama

What a dream come true! Dreams are dreams and realities are realities. It requires only people like you Barack Obama who can effectively bring positive change to interpret their dreams correctly.

One lesson has been learned, that the God of creation is a God neither for the black nor for the white but a God for His own creation, after all, being black or white is just a dream because we humans have been domesticated to these appellations. In my native language, there are only three colors; black, red and white. Anything ranging from brown, purple, red and yellow are all red, anything with the shade of black; blue and black itself are all black. Therefore, even you, who, because of our human domestication, have been termed “black ”are also“ red and the reverse, is true. True human values are not contained in these appellations but in what we as humans, be you “red” or “black” can offer the world. God can do what ever He wants and willed and at any time.

We need to stop and thank Him for reminding us that He is alive. Thank you Lord! History has been written and has been created and we are all part of that history and what does it mean if we cannot make “GOOD” use of that history! We pray that in no distant time it shall repeat it self across the globe and especially in Africa and in our fatherland.
That there shall be no more “come no goes”, no more “anglos”, no more “francos”, “sawas”, “bamis”, “South Africans”, “Zimbabweans”, just to name a few but one people of God’s creation. If we are where we are it is not because God loves or hates us so much but for a purpose. If there is a people I can congratulate, it is the American people. They have truly demonstrated the democracy they preach.

Thank you the American people. In a documentary I watch, I saw that you Obama as kid were present at the rally when one of my heroes Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said “I have a dream”. May his spirit guide you to the end? To you Barack Obama, the American president-elect, thank you for burying your fears and for teaching the world that one can be what ever he wants but that one needs courage and determination to making that happen. God bless you, God bless the people you are going to Sheppard and God bless the world.

Africans in the Diaspora unite for a United Africa! “Yes I can” what about you? If you can, then we can.
