Why Political Theorists Stress Obama to be &Lsquo;un-american’?

Carol E. Lee’s “Hawaii gov. seeks to combat birthers” in politico.com uncovers the real conspiracy behind the political scene of the Obama’s administration that even to this day seeks clarifications, either on the basis of acquiring political recognition to those intended to trade in some cheap political fame, for which they have tried to predicate him as ‘un-American’ by birth or to declare that Obama had no right to officially run for presidency. Touching on the sensitivity of the ‘Birther’s movement’ that gained significance in 2009, Carol has mentioned every allegation of birth on Obama that he has confronted right from being Kenyan, for which Obama had to come up with his real birth certificate, to Hawaii just to convince his ‘Americanness’, where Neil Abercrombie as highlighted by Carol “…was a friend of Obama’s parents when the president was a baby, and has only been governor of Hawaii for less than three weeks”.

Amid the rumours of the citizenship, what Carol has not come up with is the reason to why Republicans or Obama’s offenders insisted upon his being ‘un-American’ right away from the first day of his presidency? Was this simply for the reason they did not wish to see him running his Presidential campaign in 2008 or that they simply wanted to capitalize on igniting the conspiracies stressing upon his ‘un-Americanism’? Behind every conspiracy strategy was the motive to declare him African American. This, Ben Carrington, 2009 in Fear of a black President mentions “…Obama was predicated not just on the notion that he was somehow un-American, or even anti-American, but that he wasn’t American at all and because unequivocal citizenship rights have historically been denied to African Americans”.

What most of the Americans amiss in the course of ‘birther’ conspiracy, that to this day lingers, and matters to most of the Republicans and political opportunists like Abercrombie, is the fact that despite modernization and industrialization of the U.S., despite attaining the privilege of having economy that still booms even when 25 percent of the youth is facing joblessness, and where people join army, not because of any patriotism, but because of the fact they want to make their ends meet, there still is a room welcoming every American to switch on the lights of racial prejudice again and again. Being world’s leading human rights advocate, whose ambassadors talk about global peace and spread scores of messages to alleviate racial prejudice in every form, whose humanists are more often concerned over granting racial and gender equality, and whose media is influenced by many African American artists, it really sounds absurd to alight such issue that deems attention to decide that after almost 2 years of Presidency, is Barack Obama really American and eligible to run Presidential affairs?
