It came bursting through a long time ago, but we were too dumb to notice:

From Dreams of My Father, “ I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASISVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE”. Barack Hussein Obama

From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “The emotion between the races could never be pure, even love was tarnished by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves. Whether we sought out our demons or salvation, the other race (WHITE) would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart.” Barack Hussein Obama

From Dreams Of My Father: “That hate hadn’t gone away,” he wrote, BLAMING “WHITE PEOPLE — some CRUEL, some IGNORANT, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.” Barack Hussein Obama

From ‘Dreams Of My Father’, “There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,” he wrote. “It remained necessary to prove which side you were on,to show your LOYALTY TO THE BLACK MASSES, TO STRIKE OUT and name names” Barack Hussein Obama

No America will never be over the race issue as long as white perceive blacks are carrying the legacy of slavery from 150 years ago as a crutch.

I spoke with an Obama volunteer yesterday regarding Rev. Wright, etc. She said she had gone to the Church and never heard the Reverend say anything offensive. I asked based on what some are saying about Wrights comments, her opinion of what is offensive and my opinion may very well be miles apart. She became upset and immediatley threw the “we came here as slaves” argument at me. I said 600,000 died ending that tragedy and I am sick of hearing that crutch. Needless to say, it really went down hill after that...

If the Democrats nominate anybody besides Obama, which they will have to do if they want to even have a small chance of winning in November, blacks will scream that they are again being moved to the back of the bus and all hell will break loose including blacks staying home in November. Maybe even a few riots.

Interesting. Should the Dems think that Obama can't win they will almost certainly try to torpedo him in some form or fashion. From Howard Dean's vantage point Democrats will feel themselves completely and totally justified in seeking a national Party win for the greater good. Blacks, however, will never see it as anything more than theft and outright oppression by Whites, an inalterable grievance.

Perhaps...perhaps it would be then that Blacks finally awake to realize how Democrats are have never really been interested in Black people other than to use them and to harness them for their political power.

I guess it would be unhelpful to point out that they were sold into slavery by other more successful blacks who had defeated and captured their ancestors in Africa? Just askin’ ;)

None of Obama's people were slaves unless they were slaves in Africa of other black people
As far as his deranged preacher. He went to integrated schools in Philadelphia

Black people's plight would be worse had there been no US slavery. None want to return to their roots.

Obama had an excellent chance of becoming POTUS.

For all intents & purposes he was running against two other Democrats (Hillary & Dem lite McCain)... Turn out would have been huge ... He is a smooth talker ... (although he is like Chance the gardener in "Being There")... and there probably would have been enough RINO's crossing over to do the job.


Now, Obama is history. And the irony is that he did it himself.

But ... as with any Democrat ... it is everyone else's fault but his.


Bararack Hussein Obama, and his mentor the infamous J.Wright, may well go down as the guys who set race relations back for generations to come.

“The salient fact is this: in settings where the two races deal more directly with each other, and get to know each other better, through shared public schools, workplaces, public conveyances, universities, etc., they seem to like each other less, not more.”

You got it. Once you start judging people on the content of their character, you soon realize that there is not a whole lot to love.

The blacks don’t care. THey are smart enough to know that democrats do damage to america. They hate america. THerefore they vote democrat.

This is my suspicion now, after hearing so much crap from the obama camp.

I can imagine that downhill slide...

This article is so accurate, it’s scary. It’s also SOOOOO anti-PC, that I’m shocked this guy, Pennington, would publish it under his name.

I am not “anti-black”. I work with, and around several black people that I love dearly. For those blacks who actually WORK, who take pride in what they do (whatever it is), who give a crap about their families, and who are striving to improve themselves and their communities.... I have the utmost respect and affection.

For the many, many others that I see every day.... hanging on the street corners drinking beer at noon, shooting each other in the streets of West End Louisville at 2 am, cruising around town in flashy “drug-store-on-wheels” hot rods..... I have nothing but contempt.

They drag our society down in so many ways. Take a look at every state that scores AT THE BOTTOM in academic achievement. What do they have in common? High %’s of black population. Where are the unemployed? The single parent homes?? Largely dominated by heavily black populations.

I’m sorry.. but, this does make me mad. For goodness sakes, WHEN??? will they care enough to DO SOMETHING about their own plight? I refuse to believe that it has to be this way.... It is not WHITE AMERICA holding them down. They keep themselves down... believing crap like that espoused by Rev. JWright.

“One commentator/pollster yesterday on Hannity’s radio program came up with a scenario where Al Gore could turn out to be the Dems’ default candidate.”

Dems: The party where every vote counts... Except when they don’t want it to count.

Obama’s probably shocked that his comment of

“typical white people”

has raised so much ire.

Actually, the phrase doesn’t bother me one bit, EXCEPT -

if it were reversed, the person uttering such a thing would be vehemently attacked as a racist.

The best thing to do when there’s injustice enforced from on high is to “make the rulers live by their own rulebook”.

I suspect you may be right about this. They are exposing the great divide. And, this will drive us farther apart, not closer together.

Were you really offended by the phrase, or by the knowledge of what would happen if this were reversed?

I’m not offended by it, but it REALLY pisses me off to know that he can think he can say it, but that someone white would have been pilloried.

Doubters of this reality should not only consider Mrs. Obama's words,

After listening to the rev (???? not someone I would call a rev) wright, I have no doubt why she FINALLY feels good about her country. All those hate filled sermons had an effect on her, as well as others in attendance. Anyone who doubts there are racial issues being stoked and kept alive by the radical "spiritual advisors" in the black community have their head in the sand or firmly up their backsides, giving themselves an eyes-on view of their own colonoscopy.

Remember all the funeralizing the black pastors had for the "N" word a few months ago? Now, we hear B Hussein O's "spiritual advisor" and other "revs" use it time after time from their churches' pulpits. Talk about hypocrites.

Then the "rev" @l $h@rpton has the gall to get on TV and says he hears NO RACIAL remarks in those speeches. Two straight nights in a row, he was on with Greta and denied that he heard on single racial comment directed against a person. He said Imus should have been fired for calling the Rutgers women's basketball team "nappy headed ****", and that was a racial slur.

The "rev" wright said that "whiteys control the country" and "hillary ain't never been called a N*****" are not racial slurs. Well, the last one in actuality isn't because of a double negative, but I doubt the rev even thought about that.

That settles that. The "N" word is no longer a racial slur. The "rev" @l $h@rpton said so, so I will use it every day again. /s

Obama’s supporters are going to be ESPECIALLY pissed off because they’ll know that he was rejected because he held the same beliefs that they do.
