Race Was An Issue Long Before Reverend Wright Was A Household Name

tweb: Wow is that reaching. So, if Hillary supported the KKK and was an active member for 20 years, but her public pronouncements displayed none of its hatred of blacks, you would commend her for it? I seriously doubt it. Let''s all just be truthful about this. Obama knew the church was based on a racist theology, period. One who subscribes to a racist theology or belief of any kind is a racist. Not too hard to figure out.

Since you mention the KKK, you recall the Grand Wizard David Duke took off his Hood, became a Republican and was elected to the Louisiana House of Representatives. The point is David Duke''s past didn''t stop people from Voting for him and electing him which was amazing! When the Grand Wizard of the KKK can get elected to public office some criticism is due wouldn''t you say? Lets be real there too! I''m a Christian and I''ve watched some of those Televangelist on TV and many have borderline racist views I don''t agree with as do many Religious Ministers from many cultures, its a can of worms, Rev. Wright is not unique in this but on display because Sen. Obama is running for President. Sen. Obama has not displayed any signs of being negatively affected by Rev. Wright and until you can point some out, your Post and claims against the Senator stand refuted! Claims and Proof are 2 different things and all you have is claims, assumptions and accusations with no proof!

Face it, folks, black people are tribal. The tribal mindset sees everyone not part of the tribe as against the tribe - hate them, kill them.

That is the Muslim mindset also.

Neither are ready for democracy.

No Obamanation, if I can help it.

For the poster who suggests that "Rednecks" would have issues with an Obama presidency, here''s a message for those rednecks:

"Jim Crow" is dead. Grow up and move into the 21st Century. Learn how to say Obama''s name correctly, because 8yrs. from now he will be completing his final months in his 2nd Term. We all know what happened to Sonny Liston when he didn''t pronounce Ali''s name correctly. The Obama shuffle is just as potent as "float like a butterfly and sting like a bee". That''s "O" (think long "o" sound) BAM (think the way rednecks pronouce the "bam" in Alabama, followed by a short "a" sound. Got it boys? Get use to it!!!

rossstv: Give it up. To suggest that a one-time meeting at the White House is equivalent to the 20 year relationship Obama has had with his racist and anti-American "mentor and spiritual adviser" is a desperate comparison at best.

If everything that you have Posted about Sen. Obama being under the 20 year "so called negative influence" of Rev. Wright is true, then this would seem to exonerate Sen. Obama and make him even more awesome, because when you look at Sen. Obama and listen to him speak, none of Rev. Wrights negative rhetoric seems to have rubbed off on him and affected him! The "finished product" of Sen. Obama "the person" does not support your claims! There should be noticeable results of Rev. Wrights negative work in Sen. Obama and there are none, if there are, can you point them out?

The presidential candidates may have star qualities -- and they also have stars in their families, according to a genealogical study linking Hillary Clinton to Angelina Jolie and Barack Obama to Brad Pitt.

The New England Historic Genealogical Society (NEHGS) in Boston on Wednesday released a study in which it traced the family trees of all three presidential candidates to find they all had famous relatives, both dead and alive.

It found Illinois Senator Barack Obama, whose mother is from Kansas, can claim at least six U.S. presidents as distant cousins, including George W. Bush and his father, Gerald R. Ford, Lyndon B. Johnson, Harry S. Truman, and James Madison.

But other cousins include British Prime Minister Sir Winston Churchill -- and Brad Pitt who is a ninth cousin linked back Edwin Hickman who died in Virginia in 1769.

I too find it hard to fathom why Obama would not distance himself from this idiotic fool he calls a mentor!
This very much in,in my humble opinion,hurts his chances.Had he come out and dis-avowed himself from Wright,it may have helped.But he didn''t!
God BLESS America!

rosstv: Of course you''d like to move on, because your idol has been shown to be a supporter of a racist "Reverend", church and ideology. You understand, I''m sure, that if America really starts to understand the significance of this, Obama''s chances are finished.

[rossstv]

So that''s an excuse. If you''re going to berate someone for having any association, then she''s falls into the same category. What about her association with the family. What about John McCain actively seeking out Rev. Hagee''s endorsement. Catholics are ***''s. Katrina is God''s response to a gay parade. You should give it up. Let''s get back to real issues. Not divisive rhetoric. Are you a republican hitman?
