There is no doubt that liberal ideas drive President Obama. In doubt, check the Washington Post front page of July 26, 2015, where the president's visit to Kenya that same month is portrayed as triumphant.

But, nowhere in the same paper is the subject that riles all of Africa most about Obama's visit -  his insistence on homosexual rights on the continent.

We've been this way before, in Senegal in June 2013.

As President Obama was told in Senegal, homosexuality is not a towering priority problem on the continent. And that other problems when juxtaposed to homosexuality dwarf the gay issue in their totality or separate states.  These are the issues that task most the well-being of all Africans on the continent.

However, President Obama, a son of Africa and the single most powerful man on earth thinks the homosexual agenda must transcend all issues and be made the priority.

One ought to have expected more sensitivity, as it relates to the culture of Africans, from President Obama.  At least, he is the first Black American president with direct traceable African origin.

As impressive as Obama's resume is in the genealogical sense, his trip is also in that sense historic.  The trip ought to have been used to promote issues more substantive and relevant than this single-minded focus on the issue of homosexuality.

But by using this official trip for such a speech in Kenya, Obama has indicated his preference for homosexual justice, knowing fully well that his stance goes against the entire cultural grain of the African.  

Obama did the same homosexual-inclined promotion on his last visit to Senegal in 2013. 

While in Senegal, he heard the loud pushback on the same subject from leadership on the entire continent.  Thus, his latest uttering in Kenya shows how little respect he has for African voices.

Shortly before Obama's visit,  Reuters wrote that "the US Supreme Court ruled on Friday (June 26, 2015) that the U.S. Constitution provides same-sex couples the right to marry, handing a historic triumph to the American gay rights movement." 

This ruling is recent. It took even modern, advanced, rich America this long to arrive at what Obama described as "social justice".  But the poverty-stricken Third World nations of Africa must produce this instant dramatic change overnight at the expense of all else at his demand.  

Jim Crow and apartheid laws of the US and South Africa found reasons to suppress Blacks, while paying little attention to white homosexuals, because of differences in skin color.  But now Obama says Blacks and all white homosexuals are one?

Wonder why President Obama would want to conflate the issue of sexual preference and race on this occasion when he ought to have known that the mere raising of the subject would cause serious concerns. Is this a sign of disrespect to the African and his culture?

So, Obama does it without care, even in Senegal, a culturally conservative, tradition-bound country.  The average woes of disease, poverty, and other developmental challenges of this country are of no concern to him.

Two years later, he is back in Kenya, the country of the birth of his father.  There in Kenya, he showed steadfastness and commitment to his liberal brand of social justice at the expense of all else.  But could this steadfastness be a sign of contempt for traditional Africa?  No wonder some have already claimed that Obama is very disrespectful of our norms in Africa.  And that his concern for homosexuality is just a handle for his disrespect.

In Africa, the practice of homosexuality is standing taboo.  The practice is very infinitesimal. Sex is seen essentially as a matter of existential desire for procreation.  The practice interrupts procreation and therefore it is frowned upon across the board. But it should the noted that the homosexual person in reality is never considered less than human, like slaves in a racist situation. 

And more so, the foreign-originated need for change must not be argued in erroneous contradictory terms; namely, homosexuality and race. It ought to be stopped because it is disrespectful.

Considering that western culture has already done great harm to the African personality, a heritage of the homosexual sort, at this time, would add to the social ills some of which Africa has in abundance.  We have enough social unrest on the continent now.  There is no need to create more.  And this late in Obama’s term, there is no hope that he could bring in some solutions.

Under Bush, Africa had PEPFAR, the resounding humanitarian investment in health and HIV/AIDS projects which has reduced substantially HIV/AIDS cases by as much as 40%, for all on the continent, including the homosexual community.
