American Black Intellectual Foreign Policy

The average black American has long known and felt that the Americans and the policies we have in domestic and international affairs, don’t necessarily represent their views or needs. The perception that’s most notable is that, "they have had to fight in their own country against the injustice of racial inequality". That sense of the nation and its leadership and policies thru out the world, cant be seperated from the larger black minority view in the country by most , African -Americans of, mistrust and skepticism for plying the same misguided principles for dealing with, international problems in an unfair world view predominantly shaped by the same ideologies that we used to deal with race relations thru our courts and political system now.


The ideas of liberation theology, and the sense of Intolerance in the nation, were responses by the black culture to identify with the American realities they have lived with. Until recent events like the election of , President Barack Obama. All these issues shaped the values and character of the American blacks in academics and as political leaders as well as the cultural and social representatives of the black community.

America has always been accommodating," albeit-reluctantly ", to opposing and competing interests in the values of American ideas and for the informal dialogue of internal reflection from its citizens. Black Americans
identity appears to be showing up in the area of public policy. Health Care Reform, acceptance and acknowledgement of the struggles of other groups gays lesbians, Muslim religion, dialogue with Islamic nations and a favorable opinion of general democratic party policies for a larger role for the federal government. These attitudes are reflected in some of the recent decisions by, president Barak Obama.

The decision not to support the Somalia provincial government and authority. Changing the diplomatic tone for, American-Israeli relations in the middle east. The current policy on appeasement with Iran and tolerance of their nuclear program . Environmental and global warming policy’s-that reflect a break with past American
administrations and the national view. The use of the U.N. to resolve international conflicts. Using international organizations to help solve American foreign policy issues. Civilian trials for terrorists.



The Intellectual emerging influence of the black Americans in the foreign affairs policys is going to open up , for the foreseeable future at least , a new chapter for public debate and arm chair diplomacy in our nations fledgling rise to what , Tocqueville called the ultimate prize of freedom-EQUALITY.
