Obama's speech was massive.

Iv'e never heard a politician in my lifetime tackle these types of issues with such clarity. I didn't shear a tear but I'm totally drinking his mf-ing ice tea.

Obama (none / 0)

If Obama was so troubled by Wright's words, why does he keep taking his daughters to learn form him?

 

Also why was he the first presidential candidate to call for Don Imus's head, but he won't call for his own spirtual advirer's?

He said he can no more abadon Wright than he could the black community implying....that he thinks the black community agrees with Wright.

Completely incorrect (none / 0)
The implication was you cannot disown your heritage or your family, even when you don't agree with them.  Context is everything.

Wright (none / 0)

No...Wright was saying a butch of anti-white stuff and Obama refused to disown him...

 

His reasoning was that all blacks think the same thing as Wright thinks so that we just have to accept that.

Liarcoso is trolling again! (none / 0)

Everything Liarcoso posts is either a lie , prevarication or outright plagiarizing of "conservative" hate sites. You should know that he/she trolls other websites "rollplaying" in various personalities.

Hey, liar boy, explain these  inflammatory comments your anti American flare. Maybe you could enlighten us as to where you came up with this information other than regurgitating Rush Limbaugh? Prove your lies.

Imus was (is) an obvious racist (none / 0)
who said racist comment after racist comment on his show, used the 'N' word repeatedly, had a racist crew of white trash as his staff, and spewed his hate year after year. He went too far with the Rutgers comments and is so racist that he did not even realize it.

Rev. Wright did not say one racist thing. Every thing that he said is true. It just that black folks are not allowed to be animated about this subject in mixed company. It makes whites feel guilty, so he must be punished for it. Some of you need to walk a mile in his shoes before judging him, especially if you are not black.

by mijoh on 03/19/2008 03:15:28 PM EST

IMUSed something (none / 0)
Imus is a racist, that is for sure. and so are you!

Every thing Wright said was true? Really.

The comments regarding aids are true?

The bombing of Japan, last time I checked was a direct result of the Japanese attack on the US, As to killing innocent civilians ask the Hawaiians killed at Pearl Harbor. In fact run your theory past some Koreans or some Chinese or some Filipinos. I am sure they will have a lot to say about the number of "civilians" the Japanese killed durring their attacks and their occupation of those countries. Of course it is only bad when "white people" do these types of things.
I am sure that China, Korea, Malaysia, the Philipines and all the other countries that were attacked deserved to be the victims of ethnic cleansing, death camps and war crimes. Those bad white people helped liberate those people of color and helped end their suffering but let's not let a little thing like the truth get in the way.

One thing I can say Hillary might never been called a Nigger but I'll bet she has been called a Nigger lover on more than one occassion. In fact I'll one up you. I'll bet Obama has never been called a bitch before.

It is quite obvious that you subscribe to the teachings of the father (wright) as opposed to the son (Obama) or was that speech yesterday just a bunch of bs to placate white voters?

Part of the problem (none / 0)
From USA Today:

Detroit political consultant Coit Cook Ford said Obama's attempt to explain African-American anger at historical injustices was misplaced.

"When you talk about the anger of people to those who haven't shared in that legacy, it offends white Americans. I don't think you can take them to the place," he said. "Americans want to live up to the example of the best aspects of the Constitution. And when history contradicts that, they don't want to hear it."

Maybe it's time to face "we don't want to hear it" with "tough shit, here it is."
