Obama energizes Europe to dispossess the white race

... in the game of white status competition that has been played out across the West over the last 40 years (where white elites prove their moral superiority to one another by continually increasing their patronage of alien minorities), the U.S. has just massively upped the ante, and instead of folding, Germany, France, and Great Britain have gone to liquidate their life savings so as to stay in the game.

Can Europe produce an Obama?

... said Dominique Moïsi, a French political analyst. "And now we have to think, too, about our identity in France — it's the most challenging election ever. We realize we are late, and America has regained the torch of a moral revolution."

In Italy, Jean-Léonard Touadi, the only black member of the Italian Parliament, sees the Obama victory similarly. It is "a great and concrete provocation to European society and European politics," said Touadi, born in the Congo Republic. Obama gives hope, he said, that "one day" there can be a similar outcome in Europe...

But Ashok Viswanathan, assistant director of Operation Black Vote, which works to engage members of minorities in politics, predicted that Britain could have a party leader from a minority in the next 10 to 15 years, and a minority member as prime minister in 30...

"Germans can't believe a Turkish politician believes in a politics for Germany," ... "The Germans think, 'This is our country. Why should we elect a Turk? He might want to Islamicize the country."'

The Germans love Obama ... But Kiyak said the Obama victory was causing significant reflection in the immigrant community, if not yet in the country at large. "Minorities see what is possible in another country, and they become jealous," she said, noting that President Abdullah Gul of Turkey said recently in Der Spiegel that Turkish Germans "should take part in German society and politics and not look back."

...France ... numerous politicians signed a manifesto written by Yazid Sabeg, a millionaire child of Algerian immigrants, calling for affirmative-action programs to turn the supposedly colorblind French ideal of equality into reality for alienated immigrants.

"The election of Barack Obama highlights via a cruel contrast the shortcomings of the French Republic and the distance that separates us from a country whose citizens knew how to go beyond the racial question," the manifesto said. It won support from Sarkozy's wife, Carla, who told Le Journal du Dimanche, "our prejudices are insidious" and hoped the "Obama effect" would help to reshape society.

Inspired by Obama, European minorities take action

PARIS – An Obama effect is rippling across Europe.

In France, a pro-Barack Obama grassroots group created months ago is morphing into a campaign for political diversity. In Britain, a black voter group says it is inundated with calls and attendance is soaring.

In Austria, a Rwandan-born activist has fired off letters to big parties urging them to field minority candidates. And in Germany, the staff of Turkish politician Cem Ozdemir started a Facebook group called "Yes we Cem" — a takeoff on Obama's slogan "Yes we can."

Obama's victory is inspiring hopes and even planting the seeds of action for changing the overwhelming whiteness of Europe's political elite...

"The vote for Obama rings as a critique of politics in France as sclerotic, old and tired — and not just here," said Faycal Douhane, a Socialist of Algerian heritage who leads an association of mayors in the Paris area. "It's embarrassing for France."

Obama's victory was particularly resonant in France. A group formed in a cafe months ago as the Friends of Barack Obama in the southeastern city of Lyon is renaming itself "The Movement" to lobby political parties to select minority candidates. It also plans to write up and send a report to President Nicolas Sarkozy by year-end on France's lack of political diversity.

Spokesperson Azedine Haffar said France's stance that all of its citizens are simply French holds minorities back.

"There was a before Nov. 4, and an after Nov. 4," he said. "And those who want to stay in the before, we can tell them: 'No, it's finished. This era is over.'" ...

Lawmaker Frederic Lefebvre was quoted last week in a newspaper proposing that parliament require TV stations to reflect France's full color range...

Austria ... Neuberg says his group is fighting on behalf of the 25,000 Africans and 200,000 Turks in the country of 8.3 million. Within hours of the Obama victory, "I got so many calls from everybody all over the place — and not only from Africans but from whites," he said.

"They said, 'Alexis, don't lose hope, because what happened in America can also happen in Austria,'" Neuberg added. "We want to try to champion a new way."

America elects a nonwhite president in a free election, and what is the statist Europeans' immediate response? That they must assure the choice of nonwhites for political office! Ironically, even as the Europeans consider us as their model in our election of a nonwhite, they ignore our model of popular elections and seek to get the same result that we got, but through the statist control of society.

Merkel's response to the Obama election is not the act of a living being, it is the act of a zombie.The countries of Europeans are dead societies led by dead people.

Yes, we must be rid of that "overwhelming whiteness". The "game of white status competition" is the reason we have African immigration. Because the jetsetters fly around the world and then come home to conclude we are "monotonously, homogeneously white". Or our immigration minister re-opens African immigration because "we have a job to do rebuilding confidence and our international reputation". We can't appear to be racist, can we? No. It's status, no matter what the domestic cost. We will have our status, even if it kills us. The moral martyrs.
