How about it, White man? Do you wonder what this country really will be like for us if Barack Obama is elected president?
Better watch the embedded video below. It shows a group of black youth engaged in cult-like "praise and worship" of Barack Obama at the Urban Community Leadership Academy in Kansas City. It reminds me of videos showing blacks training as African National Congress (ANC) cadre and fighters in South Africa.

The video was first posted on YouTube by the original source on October 2nd, 2008. The individual posting the video also posted the following explanation, which remains useful even though the original source took down the video:
There's an update regarding the video with the African American teens shown on YouTube in the video below. This morning, I received a message from a friend named Dan who gave me the address of the school where this video was filmed. This is the name:
URBAN COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP ACADEMY
1524 PASEO BLVD
18th & Vine District, Kansas City, MO 64108
816-483-8035

I called and spoke to Bernard, who said he was the assistant Dean. He was very gentlemanly and when I voiced my concerns about the video, he told me that this was taken at the school last year when Obama was beginning his campaign. He assured me that they stopped this "regiment" because they felt the person who was organizing it was pushing his political agenda.
Duh.
He assured me that he didn't know it was on YouTube. I gave him the link to where to go for this video and when he found it he said, "Oh this is not good. I had no idea" I told him I'd take his word for it. He then asked me, nicely, "what's the main concern? Because I want to understand where you're coming from so that I can figure out how to handle this."
Nicely, I told him that the video looked militant. I told him about the Colburn School video and how it resembles propaganda films from Communist dictatorships. I told him that the US military is frowned upon for going to high schools trying to recruit potential grads into joining their ranks. Why shouldn't we frown upon those who come to a school like yours to encourage kids to worship a politician? One who is not even a president.
I also said that if this was done to make kids feel better about themselves, why do it in the name of Obama? Why not encourage kids to believe in the power of themselves?
He assured me that he would get to the bottom of the situation, thanked me for my call and we hung up.
That's all for now.
The Urban Community Leadership Academy is an "Afrocentric" charter school serving students in grades 5 through 9. Its student population is 95 percent non-white. The school's stated mission is to create an environment which encourages students to study problems and find solutions integrating the skills of math, science, leadership, communication, technology and any other necessary knowledge while learning to celebrate their own ethnic culture. One would think the students would be trained to pledge allegiance to America rather than Barack Osama.
How many "Eurocentric" charter schools do you know of? Of course, there are German-language charter schools, French-language charter schools, and other individual European ethnic charter schools. But no overall "Eurocentric" charter schools. Why is "Eurocentric" considered bad but "Afrocentric" considered good?
