Would Obama really be so often and openly accused of "terrorism" if he wasn't black and had an African name?

Probably not. And the part that so childish and ridiculous is that they try to rhyme his name with Osama bin Laden. I feel like I am in kindergarten.

His name is not African. It is Arabic.





Senator Obama was reportedly named after his father, Barack Hussein Obama, Sr.





The Senator's first name, Barack, is a Swahili name that has its origins in the Arabic language. The original Arabic root of the name (B-R-K) means "blessed." In Arabic, the root word is used in many other phrases to denote blessings and to describe people who are blessed:





Mabruk! = "Congratulations!"


Barakallah feek = "May God bless you"


Barakah = blessings from God (feminine version of the name)


Senator Obama's middle name is Hussein, which was his grandfather's first name. The name, of Arabic origin, means "good" or "handsome one." It is common in Muslim cultures for children (both boys and girls) to have a middle name which directly connects them to their father or grandfather.


Senator Obama's surname is not uncommon among the Luo tribe, one of the three largest ethnic groups in Kenya. They speak the Dhoulou language.

Reply:HI!





It is expected that white people with rich history of "apartheid",whether they were directly involved in the oppression of the blacks, or just informed about this and deduced theories on black people based on their biases and prejudices would never utter anything "good" or "sweet" about Obama.





But they are not the voice of America.



Reply:It really has nothing to do with the color of his skin or his name, It has to do with the fact that he is friendly with known terrorists, supposedly went to a radical muslim school where all of the terrorists also went and he was raised by his radical muslim step father, those are the reasons I think most people accuse him of being a terrorist, his name doesn't help either and im sure that is the only reason a few people say things but I don't think that is the main reason for peoples accusations.
Reply:No he wouldn't be. McCain has far greater 'terrorist ties' than does Obama. McCain sent money to the Kosovo Liberation Army...a terrorist organization....and they have backed McCain for President....AND they funnel money to Al queida: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?f...
Reply:no, he is accused of being a terrorist because he is a Democrat. If it were any other Democrat in the race, Republicans would be doing the very same thing....... smear is all they know..
Reply:No, he wouldn't be accused of it at all. It's not like he was born and decided he was going to have an African name and be black.
Reply:If Obama was not black, and his name is Muslim not African, he would not have been nominated.
Reply:Well seeing as he is only about 7% black and has an Arab name I will say yes..
Reply:Doubtful.
