"Today I blame Howard Dean and the DNC. Tomorrow I''''ll blame every Democratic Politician in the country. You are letting the Democratic Party go to hell and you''''re letting our country go to hell!!!

First, you haven''t been disenfranchised since there is no requirement for you to be involved in any way with the choice of the party nominee except as allowed under party rules. Second, Dean had nothing to do with changing the date of the Michigan primary, you''re state party officials did. Put the blame where blame belongs, on your states Dem party.

Okay, I''m taking a consensus. How many "typical white persons" out there feel we have a racial problem? Raise your hands.

Look at all those eyeballs rolling. I asked you to raise your hands.

Okay now. How many "typical black people" feel we have a racial problem?

Wow! Look at all those middle fingers pointing up to the sky.

Houston, do we have a racial problem? Negative. We have an anti-American problem.

Roger Houston. Over and out. I

Your assumption is that the people on these forums have any interest in hearing the Reverends statements in context since doing so would nullify their petty assertions that he is a hate monger. The people on these boards need something moronically simplistic like that to attack Obama with since they have nothing else.

"A typical white person doesn%u2019t understand the plight of Harvard educated affirmative action beneficiaries. Use to be when we measured goodness and greatness not by the content of one''''s color but by the quality of their character. But what do we typical white persons know.

Your type of "typical white person" doesn''t seem to understand that not all people of color get into Harvard because of their skin color. You and your type seem to think that somehow you got screwed because they got in and you didn''t. What you always fail to add in to the equation is the fact that you couldn''t get into Harvard regardless of your color, and he could get into Harvard regardless of his color. His graduation at the top of his class at Harvard Law and the fact that he was the first black ever elected President of the Harvard Law Review verifies the fact that he was accepted to Harvard based on academic excellence alone.

Your petty disregard for his historic position as the Pres. of the Harvard Law Review says more about you than about him.

OBAMA%u2019S NEW PASTOR COMPARES REV. WRIGHT TO JESUS -- CHICAGO %u2014 The new pastor of Barack Obama%u2019s church delivered a defiant defense of its retiring reverend Sunday, comparing media coverage of Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. to a modern-day lynching that resembles Jesus%u2019 death at the hands of the Romans. In a sunrise Easter sermon, Rev. Otis Moss III implied that his mentor, who has delivered sermons in which he likened the U.S. to the Ku Klux Klan and declared it damned for its %u201Cstate-sponsored terrorism,%u201D is facing the same challenges Jesus did.%u201DNo one should start a ministry with lynching, no one should end their ministry with lynching,%u201D Moss said. %u201CThe lynching was national news. The RNN, the Roman News Network, was reporting it and NPR, National Publican Radio had it on the radio. The Jerusalem Post and the Palestine Times all wanted exclusives, they searched out the young ministers, showed up unannounced at their houses, tried to talk with their families, called up their friends, wanted to get a quote on how do you feel about the lynching?%u201D he continued.

To all the Obamas apologists-he is half black who has ignored his white half because he was pandering to the African American community. He mentions his whites side when it was convenient for him and did so still pandering. His relationship with Wright went was further than pastor/church member. He was introduced by Obama, as "my friend". Your guy is a liar as well as a socialist.
The way to unite this country is not to pander to the likes of Wright and his Black Liberation Theology.
The way would have been to come forward with his heritage, as a Mulatto, which happens to be both black and white. The way would have been to point out how his heritage, his raising up by a white mother and grandmother made him the man he is. He did not do that and is still fostering bigoted racist feelings. That%u2019s how Obama appears to me, a bigot and a racist. So far, the pro Obama posts have done little to dispel those feeling.

America needs to rise above and take the common
sense to know a snake when you see a snake and Obama
is a snake

If one takes into account the context of Wright''s most controversial statements the real question is how we, as Americans, are going to reclaim our country from the political hegemony of neo-conservatives (1) and conservative democrats (2) who want their brand of American culture, religion, and morality to smother the majority of us. This is not about Barack whatsoever, but about the delusional viel of white priviledge and endemic white guilt when challenged to be honest. The American people have to rise above extreme ignorance of other cultural realities within our own borders as much as those outside of it. Otherwise, Wright''s statements are true.
