LOL, yeah right.
The Democrats are reaping the whirlwind for the way they have used the Negroes/African-Americans/Blacks for the last 40+ years. Ms Nelson did not include LBJ in her essay...
Ronald Kessler in his book ‘Inside the White House’writes “Once, while on a trip with two governors, Johnson reportedly made the following comment in explaining why the civil rights bill was so important to him. He
said it was simple: ‘I'll have them niggers voting Democratic for two hundred years.’ ”
Using racism as a lever they are about to functionally take over the Democrat party. White guilt is their best weapon and it may work... even inside the closed voting booth.
...segregationist Democrat Gov. George Wallace of Alabama...
Obama’s pastor sure has a race problem.
The truth is quite the opposite. The DNC is the party of Jim Crow race repression, historically, and continues to be the party of race obsession. They see everything in terms of race and ethnicity, and refuse to believe anyone could possibly be otherwise.
That is the lens that colors their politics and their world view.
The south was once uniformly Democrat. That essentially changed as the civil rights struggle reached its climax and southern voters began to join by the thousands the GOP. Did joining the GOP mean that Republicans had suddenly become segregationists? No. It meant that those voters who accepted the GOP view of color-bind citizenship no longer belonged in the DNC. Once race was removed from the equation, other issues become paramount, the Cold War, for example, and people who were traditionally patriotic abandoned the DNC.
Not all of them. If a few renowned “dixie-crats” accepted the GOP view of race and color-blind citizenship, a host of others did not and still to this day do not, and they have remained in the DNC.
Look, if you were the party of lynch mobs, firehoses, Kleegles and Klansmen, you’d want to forget it too. The DNC spends every effort trying to convince themselves and their party faithful that somehow that stain isn’t theirs, and the party that opposed them for a century has somehow assumed their guilt. They get away with it because no one challenges them on it, even Republicans seem not to understand their own history.
Get this straight. We were on the right side of history. We won. We are still on the right side of it. And when a Dem finally gets it, finally understands the concept of color-blind citizenship and individual as opposed to collective citizenship, he is about half a degree away from becoming a Republican.
C’mon....Barry believe this is the best country in the world and wants to change that!
Obama has his own racist pals to contend with before he starts throwing rocks ...

THE WRIGHT STUFF
Before Sen. Barack Obama announced his presidential ambitions, according to a former Obama campaign adviser, advisers sought to distance their man from his Chicago church, the Trinity United Church of Christ, and its controversial pastor, Rev. Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr., whom Obama has previously identified has his spiritual adviser.
“The United Church of Christ was going to be a bit of a problem no matter what, because it’s so liberal,” says the former adviser. “But Trinity and Wright were going to be an even bigger problem.”
It was such a concern, says the adviser, that some Obama aides proposed that the Obama family shift churches from Chicago to one in Washington, D.C. that would be politically less controversial.
“The problem is you have tithing records in Chicago, you have the fact that Senator Obama and Reverend Wright are so close, that the shift would have just seemed too contrived and politically cynical. That isn’t what this candidate is about.”
But Trinity and Wright have created and will create problems for Obama, though the United Church of Christ is a church that certainly fits with the candidate’s radical, leftist roots. For example, the UCC helped to found not only the nation’s, but the world’s largest gay and lesbian house of worship, the Cathedral of Hope in Dallas, Texas.
“The things the Clinton campaign have attacked us on are the things we were prepared for,” says the former adviser. “Trinity, his close financial and ideological relationship to former SDS members, we knew it all going into this, and they haven’t disappointed. But it hasn’t mattered too much. It may in a general election, but it hasn’t hurt us yet.”
If BRRRRAACK Obama is a visionary, I sure don’t like his vision.”
Barack’s vision ability needs to clear up the cobwebs on Sunday’s when he sits in front of his pastor Wright and spends hours listening to anti-American diatribe.
Sounds similar to those who point the finger at 'race' and genes as the dominant* determinant of IQ.....
As for the comment about Obama being ashamed of his 'whiteness'--oh, come ON. Almost any American, if they hadn't heard of Obama before and saw him walking down the street, do you honestly believe they would call him 'white' or even 'half white?' They would call him 'black,' and you [probably] know that.
*Note, dominant determinant; not stating that there is not any role to play for genes in intelligence ('race' is another case; a 'black' could have the intelligence genes characteristic of northeast Asians or Ashkenazim while a northeast Asian could have the intelligence genes characteristic of sub-Saharan Africans). However, of the opinion that a genetic role is only minor, and the science can be used to support that argument every bit as strongly (if not more so) as the argument that genes are the primary factor in determining IQ.
Personal note: ought to stop reading threads that will obviously have racially ignorant, if not full-fledged racist, comments. Bad. Baaaaaaaaad. Those threads should not be read.
B/c there's a difference between "the truth" and "the whole truth".
LOL Obamie is just as much white as he is 'African-American'.
