Number One. Obama does not possess an anti-colonial worldview. If he did, why would he run for American public office? Why would he perpetuate American neo-colonial foreign policy? Why would he continue to prosecute the war in Afghanistan? Why would he not withdraw all of the American troops from all the corners of the world?
Number Two. What is wrong with being anti-colonial? Generally, people who are critical of colonialism hold this attitude based on the grounds that it entailed genocide, slavery, and other forms of oppression, in addition to undermining the sovereignty and self-determination of all non-European societies. Is there something wrong with disliking genocide, slavery, and conquest? God help me. I don't like it when innocent people are killed. May I burn in hell.
