truthspeake2,

Thanks. People have to start looking at the full picture. After slavery ended, blacks were full of hope. There was a lot of progress made via Reconstruction. This was successfully squashed and replaced with Jim Crow, Black Codes, etc., etc. Many people say slavery ended a long time ago. But what replaced it was sometimes much worse than slavery. You can''''t expect anyone to accept abuse without fighting against it.

...and with progress, sacrifices must be made. Unfortunately, we aren''t going to educate anybody here because they haven''t walked in our shoes, and because they haven''t, they couldn''t even begin to understand or relate to what Michelle Obama meant by her statement which I wouldn''t have wasted energy apologizing for!

"We''''re not hearing from them and we won''''t until it''''s too late. Yes it has happeded before and the potential for it to happen again is just as great. Not liking it won''''t make it go away and not talking about it won''''t either.

All these black people that you supposedly talk too, all the ones that "work" for you, all your "friends" who are black...do they know how you think about them?

You''re sad, you advocate voting against Obama because of his skin color and nothing more. You are what those people were rioting against in ''68, you are the face of racism that needs to die out.

Saying someone is associated with you because they link to a public website about you is not association.

Claiming that Obama associates with Farrakhan because Rev. Wright knows him is not association.

Claiming someone, who is now a respected member of society, is an associate because you both are on a board that includes hundreds of leading Chicago citizens is not association.

Claiming that Obama is associated with the Black Panthers because the New Black Panthers put a link up to his website is not association.

Claiming that Obama is associated to Wheels of Justice Tour, Joseph Carr a.k.a. Joseph Smith, Hannah Mermelstein, Anna Baltzer agin because they link their website tohis is not association.

Claiming ties with the ISM, HAMAS and AL WADA because some guy from the ISM says he knows Obama is not association.

Your whole list is guilt by association and the links are so absurdly vague as to be laughable. Next you''ll do a "six degrees" test to justify claiming Obama is actually the Manchurian candidate love child of Stalin and Mao''s daughter.

Obama8years,

Do you think with police brutality in urban areas and racism throughout the history of America that it was wrong for blacks to support each other or defend themselves (like the Million Man March or the Black Panthers or people who had to live through it like Rev. Wright). Why is a man standing up for himself harming you, unless you are the one oppressing him or benefitting from this abuse? If you are not doing anything to hurt black people, then you shouldn''''t be afraid of anything. Black self-determination is not being anti-white, it is being anti-abuse.

Great post...and I might add that its also a matter of self-preservation and just being pro-black. And besides, who needs anymore teachings of an Easter bunny, a Santa Claus, a Christopher Columbus that supposedly discovered America, and so much other brainwashing BS...

"July 25, 2002 --Thirty years ago today, the Washington Evening Star newspaper ran this headline on its front page: "Syphilis Patients Died Untreated." With those words, one of America''s most notorious medical studies, the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, became public.

"For 40 years, the U.S. Public Health Service has conducted a study in which human guinea pigs, not given proper treatment, have died of syphilis and its side effects," Associated Press reporter Jean Heller wrote on July 25, 1972. "The study was conducted to determine from autopsies what the disease does to the human body." "

Among Pennsylvania students who will vote or have voted in a Democratic primary in any state, Obama leads Hillary Rodham Clinton 71 percent to 28 percent, and among those who intend to vote in the Pennsylvania primary, Obama leads by a nearly identical margin of 71 percent to 29 percent. Support for Obama is consistent across types and sizes of schools.
-Helll yeah, this is a fine candidate as viewed by the newer and kicking generation...

Obama8years,

And if you don''t think some of Rev. Wright''s comments are grounded in truth, please do a reading on the Tuskegee Experiment that last until 1972. Many people DENIED it was happening until a sharp reporter uncovered documents and the deniers had to admit it.

Honestly "rufisgufis" (BLKSPIRIT3) you didn''t expect to fool us with a new name did you? Why don''t you get off here and get in your ride and turn up your gangsta rap and go see your baby mama. There, how do you like being categorized?

Gee, I really don''t think this matters anymore. Obama is finished. Check out this first of a series of articles on Obama''s membership in the Illinois "pay to play" mafia, by E. Pringle on opednews. He''s up to his eyeballs in it.

It appears it won''t be long now til the smoking gun is found, or someone rats with a plea bargain, or the circumstantial case against Obama comes on so strong that there will be no question.

He''s a hood. He''s organized crime. And he''s SO over!

"SO I present the question again , Can OBAMA get security clearance. Would you Hire Him?

Posted by Obama8years at 04:46 PM : Apr 18, 2008"


Of course he can, those "ties" that you present are a joke half of them are simply false and the other half are inconsequential. Either way he certainly wouldn''t be the prospective Dem nominee if there were any question about his security clearance. Your question is facetious and inflammatory and yes I would hire him in an instant and so would every major law firm in the country.

Serious I want to hear from someone with security clearance expertise. I dont think Obama can get security clearance.

Ties with ISM, HAMAS, AYERS, REV WRIGHT, FARAKAHN, MILLION MAN MARCH, BLACK PANTHERS, AL WADA,Wheels of Justice Tour, Joseph Carr a.k.a. Joseph Smith, Hannah Mermelstein, Anna Baltzer and others.

SO I present the question again , Can OBAMA get security clearance. Would you Hire Him?

Looks like a nice bunch of folks to me. I''d hire them in a New York minute.

truth-hurts,

I''ve had to accept Bush as president for the last eight years and I have neither rioted or caused blood on the streets. I even gave him a chance after 9/11 which he successfully squandered.

If you can support people causing destruction or harm to another because they are too childish to accept that sometimes they might not get their way, you are a dangerous individual in our society.
