OH NO HE DIT-INT!
Al-Qaeda’s No. 2 leader, Ayman Al-Zawahri, used a racial epithet to insult Barack Obama in a message posted Wednesday, describing the president-elect in demeaning terms that imply he does the bidding of whites.
The message appeared chiefly aimed at persuading Muslims and Arabs that Obama does not represent a change in U.S. policies. Al-Zawahri said in the message, which appeared on militant Web sites, that Obama is “the direct opposite of honorable black Americans” like Malcolm X, the 1960s African-American rights leader.
“Now here’s a negro I can believe in!”
In Al-Qaeda’s first response to Obama’s victory, Al-Zawahri also called the president-elect, along with secretaries of state Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice, “house negroes.”
Speaking in Arabic, Al-Zawahri uses the term “abeed al-beit,” which literally translates as “house slaves.” But Al-Qaeda supplied English subtitles of his speech that included the translation as “house negroes.”
