Obama: White Power in Black Face
Omali Yeshitela dropping some truth bombs in 2008......I wish I would have been more aware back then of the extent of the corruption of BO and how willing he was to ignore those who needed him most.

interesting perspective - deals with another ongoing issue, which may never be resolved - but when all is said and done, there were examples of elimination of white rule and then black tribalism came to the fore. Just last week Mugabe passed on. He got rid of the whites and then he said the blacks should not be tribal, which itself contradicts black African identity, which is rooted in tribalism.
In any case, as history would have it, Mugabe was found to be putting his tribal people as the ruling class. Eventually some of these along with Mugabe were kicked out.
What’s next??????????
May be that the poem holds it ground:
Birds Of A Feather - Poem by Harley White
Opposites may hold attractionBut lack lasting satisfaction.Frequently push comes to shove.In comes hate and out goes love.Animals in fights and fleeingsStill are mostly social beings.In a pinch, at end of tether, Birds of a feather flock together.Multitudes of furry creaturesSeem alike in lots of features.Yet that's not their point of view, And they vie to prove this true.Mockingbirds may sing like parrots.Horses, rabbits crunch on carrots.Many species act as oneTo lark and run in the sun.But in times of stormy weather, Birds of a feather flock together.Whether cat or dog or ferret, Each as pet will have its merit.Yet if all alone, where'er it, Not a one can grin and bear it.Humans also seek each other—Father, mother, sister, brother—Hither, thither, upper, nether, Birds of a feather flock together.

"Humans also seek each other—
Father, mother, sister, brother—"
Some good perspectives of the political landscape around the Obama election. But no matter your color, the job is to represent all US citizens according to the pre-established norms. Even though others built it, that residence is called the WH, and there is definitely a template to follow while occupying it.
The tribalism is ever-present, but according to the time and environment, it can appear typically and particularly sophisticated, still, it will be deceitful to the downtrodden ones at the bottom of the social ladder, or the masses.
From royalties and nobilities of all societies, a hierarchy is present, that is another form of tribalism, where the fractions are not depicted as tribes, all the same, and its motto is to live off the fat of others’ labor.
The tendency is deep-rooted as indicated in the poem, this can concern a family name, a particular ethnic or racial group, a club, an exclusivity group, an organization or transnational alliances. Certainly it can also be seen as less socially advanced, yet it is the same strand throughout sentient material creation. Everyone has a place they are always reminded to watch.
