Again, Rev. Wrights spews on racism is sold on tapes to the public! There is absolutely no place in church for that krap! And Obama swill it in his books and then lies to you to your face!

Your attempts to spew the goodness in Rev. Wright is negated by every one of those speeches he made!

It is the duty of the church to raise it''s people above racism, not promote it!

Obama was trying to be more "Black" than he actually is. Under Federal law he does not even meet the minimum requirements to be called "African American",...his genetic makeup is as follows:
50% Caucasion,...43.25% Arab and 6.25% African,..Even if elected he can never be the first "African American" president but could claim to legally be the first Arab American President.

Rev. Wright is voicing what millions of Americans both black and white have had to keep silent because of the Bush administration assault on freedom of speech. Wright is a patriot.

Reverend Wright is a RACIST IMBECILE. His supporters are no better.

REV WRIGHT STORY - In 1961, a young African-American man, after hearing President John F. Kennedy''s challenge to, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country," gave up his student deferment, left college in Virginia and voluntarily joined the Marines. In 1963, this man, having completed his two years of service in the Marines, volunteered again to become a Navy corpsman. The man did so well in corpsman school that he was the valedictorian and became a cardiopulmonary technician. Not surprisingly, he was assigned to the Navy''s premier medical facility, Bethesda Naval Hospital, as a member of the commander in chief''s medical team, and helped care for President Lyndon B. Johnson after his 1966 surgery. For his service on the team, which he left in 1967, the White House awarded him three letters of commendation. What is even more remarkable is that this man entered the Marines and Navy not many years after the two branches began to become integrated. While this young man was serving six years on active duty, Vice President *** Cheney, who was born the same year as the Marine/sailor, received five deferments, four for being an undergraduate and graduate student and one for being a prospective father. Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, both five years younger than the African-American youth, used their student deferments to stay in college until 1968. Both then avoided going on active duty through family connections. Who is the real patriot?

iamthequeen...you must be one of those special people who enlighten us with their critical analysis on race in America. How important you must be to define what it is to be African American or Black. Rubbish!!! Where do you get off defing Afro-centrism vs. Black Americans. You are anything but a queen.

The young man who interrupted his studies to serve his country for six years or our three political leaders who beat the system?

I saw this morning that CNN has a poll asking if America is ready for a black president. In Obama''s case, he is AFRICAN-AMERICAN not black. The former are still fixated on the African continent and it''s customs. BLACKS have moved beyond the slavery issue, assimilated into the AMERICAN culture, and are patriotic about AMERICA. That''s a big difference and why I cannot EVER support Obama but would support a black candidate that EMBRACED America and not Africa.
