What’s wrong with having an Arabic name or being called Hussein, isnt it exactly the same like being called William, Hillary, Kenneth, John, Maganga or George? it is just a name. I find it a bit disturbing especially for an African and a Tanzanian to put or have such comments, or thoughts.

When the Greatest, Muhammad Ali, changed his name and converted to Islam some people had the same thought, but it never affected him in any way or form. To white americans he was the same black person or N***r full stop! so the name change or his new religion was not going to change the way they were thinking about him. To make matter worse he joined the likes of Malcom X (Civil right campaigners) openly. The good thing about him was he believed in himself and what he was capable of doing, and surely didn’t he amaze us all??

On Mr Barack Hussein Obama it is exactly the same, he believe in himself and some people most of them white could see the potential in him, and they are not going to give a damn whether his name is HUSSEIN, or OSAMA ,as some politicians started calling him, or wheter he is a Kenyan, blue or pink.

For me he is a winner, and has got a really potential and that is all what matters most, I just hope most Americans will see him that way too, as they have started showing us in Iowa.
