NYT article asks: "Is NYC marathon winner American enough?"

[Private Affair]

It amazes me how people are still so caught up in race and nationality in this country. It's apparently so deeply rooted to the point that people don't even think that they are racists until something triggers a passionate response that exposes them for who they really are.

I would like to answer your statement with a question. How many European athletes are able to become citizens of this country and get questioned about their wins and achievements as athletes? I could be wrong but I have not ever heard of them being questioned or challenged on their citizenship. We all know what the real issue is, or do I need to state it. Caucasians are well aware that they are only 10% of the total world population. Now if you were the true minority as they are, would you not fight like hell as they are doing to remain in control and dominant in an ever shrinking world market. They are smart enough to know that any ground that they relinquish to a none white may not be regained by them. African People are the main group that can utterly demolish their existance on planet earth through reproduction. We get angery on principles of equality. They on the other hand are fighting for their genetic survival. This is another reason why blacks get stiffer and more harsh prison sentences. They know what they are doing to us. We on the other hand are fuzzy minded and cannot put the facts togather. This is why we keep asking the question; " Why, Why, Why." And we still ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eYqlqWTBtw )get framed, misrepresented, life sentences, and death sentences for what others may be parolled on. We fail to understand what is really happening in the real world in order for us to unite and fight back for our lives as they are doing. Im(hotep)

This is the link to Dr. Welsings lecture on what racism is really all about. The lessons are awsome. Im(hotep) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0IRs1bFcuw

It scares them because they fear and admire his grace. The man is intelligent and does not come off like the typical hood rat athlete with no social skills. I also don’t recall other foreign born athletes questioned about how American they are either. In fact it is the opposite is true. They are criticized for not pledging allegiance to this country and wanting to represent their native land during the Olympics. Anyway, Africans will begin to make an impact here in about 25 years. They are coming slowing the way the Indians did the early 80's prior to the tech boom. Bill Gates is developing Africa from the ground up and has said he would invest there once things become stable. Ghana will most likely be the first place he goes one their have the power grid issues solved. The country is getting help from the Netherlands on how to make their oil revenues work to fund those kind of projects.

If you read the article, then you'd see that there was in fact another gentleman of Hispanic origin who went through the same thing. But he admits that it wasn't as intense as it is with this gentleman who just won the marathon.

I am going to blow the cover off of Bill and Melinda Gates and the whole damn family for you my people. The whole Gates family along with Warren Buffett's Corp. These people are still fooling the simple minded negroes and africans to think that they love us and want to help us rise. After you look at this link and then tell me that the "good white folks " are hear to help us little colord folks out. Damn, our ignorance is out of control and growing daily.

I watched the video. He almost had me but I realized it is the same type of fear mongering from everyday country trash. They know what is coming and are powerless to stop it because big business has demoted to the same status as everyone else. He is nothing but a Martin Savage wannabe. As far as the Gates are concerned, that may be true but if we can praise Jay Z for building a water well in Africa while promoting his cd, I think we can do the same for the Gates'. I seriously doubt Jay Z cares more about Africans than Bill Gates. One a side note, one of the most successful programs that is helping athletes in Kenya is the KenSAP Program. Kensap.org ,The Kenya Scholar Athlete Program, places athletes in Yale, Harvard and other top tier universities with success . Some of these students are interning at Google. The program graduated its first Harvard student this year.

well the intensity isn't the same, but I wouldn't say that there's no comparison at all. There are in fact some fundamental similarities.

We as a people for some reason that makes no sense , or cannot understand that we are the only people on earth that truely care for US. The insanity is that we think that other ethnic groups put US before their own people. We think that they "like US" above their own group. We want to blend into what ever they are. Does any one remember when Beyonce said that she "wished that she was Hispanic" .. Damn , How many Hispanics have said that they wished that they were Black? They are not crazy, they know what crap has been served to us. They don't want any of it. We are continually trying to blend into other people . I will not even mention 'Tiger Woo..' If we could ever learn to be who we are and stand up as a UNITED PEOPLE and stick to each other and reject ignorance ,we may start something. Im(hotep)
