Race: Barack Obama says black "anger is real, and to simply wish it away without understanding its roots only serves to widen the chasm." He's right. So let's examine these bitter roots.
In his speech, Obama rationalized that "the history of racial injustice in this country" gives rise to the kind of anger that fueled Rev. Jeremiah Wright's anti-white rants. He ticked off slavery, Jim Crow laws, school segregation and job bias, and maintained that discrimination still is holding back African-Americans.
While these racist crimes of the past still sting, Obama is wrong to suggest that legalized discrimination still exists today. There is no conspiracy of racism in America.
The harsh truth is, much of the anger he speaks of is based on paranoia manifesting in urban legends about whites creating AIDS to kill blacks or crack cocaine to lock them up. Wright spreads these pernicious lies in Obama's church, and Obama has rewarded him with $23,000 a year in donations, if not his own hallelujahs.
Intellectually honest blacks, such as Shelby Steele, will tell you that racism is such a distant memory that racial victimologists like Wright are now left with concocting wild-eyed conspiracy theories to maintain their power.

Satan is the cause.....if they truly loved Christ as they profess, they could never speak such evil.
Racism and self-pity are leading exports of the black “community”. They are their own worst enemy.
The Marxists/Anarchists like Rev Wright use race to cause division and chaos.
...is the mother's milk of American leftwing politics.
I've been postulating it for some time, now I'm starting to hear it from others: Overheard at work today:
Did you hear The Speech?
No.
It was [some adjective hyperbole]. If He loses, it's only because They take it away from Him.
...I am not kidding; these are professionals talking. Granted, their level of critical thinking is about up judging American Idol, but still, they're everyday black Americans.
He can't lose any more than Rodney King or OJ Simpson can be guilty.
Interesting times, indeed.
Well, to be honest, we really did those things.
I was on that project and I saved all the emails.
It wasn't easy to do, either. We spent millions on microbiology alone.
Crack wasn't too difficult though.
Yeah, discrimination still exists. If a man comes to you for a job, and spews this kind of filth during the interview, are you gonna hire him?
The cause of what, exactly?
Hey, you’re not supposed to tell anybody about that publicly. DU might find out. ;-)
Sadly, many American blacks are performing now a self fulling prophecy.. Where black racism wasnt, it now is.. Oh! and Martin Luther King was a REPUBLICAN...

Because too many believe that the Movie “Being There” was a documentary on what is like to be white.
Bob Beckel was on FOX News this morning and said it was the best speech, he has heard in a long time. I just about spilled my coffee on my keybord

Some friend of Wright is on Greta’s show on Fox right now, trying to explain away the “G-damn America” comment - it’s all context, according to this guy, and Wright was really referring to the government, not to the country. Uhhhh. Okay. It’s still outrageous. Now he says Wright is very thoughtful in what he says and does. Again: uhhhhh. Okay. This guy’s spinning faster than my dryer.
Those assertion are the worst. They are total BS lies created out of whole cloth to be provocative and nothing more. If proof is demanded of the truth of these assertions the comeback is can you prove it is not true. It is asserted that this proposition is true, only because you have not proven it false.
This is a troofer type tactic played by Race Pimps. It by no means is their sole property but it is of a type similar to the "Blood Libel" against Jews with a similar goal of generating hate against the target, in this case the "Racist White Government".
I heard about that, seems he missed a couple and got sent to Cuba as Soccer Monitor.
Pity, that!
:-)
These are sad times. Sad that the one man who stands for “change” doesn’t really even stand for that at all. It’s all a big joke.
Change won’t happen as long as blacks are allowed to be racist while I sit here and wonder if it is crude for me to type blacks as opposed to “African Americans.” I guess its just that double standard and hypocrisy that has been drilled into my head since I was a little “kracka ass” baby.
(is it PC for a white person to call themselves a kracka?)
