I sympathize with the woman, but Barry and his hate-whitey-hustling pastor are a huge part of the problem ... Barry is bringing his beautiful daughters for this same inculcation. How do you end something that black people insist on perpetuating with lies and hate speech?
This needs a barf alert.
But get this: Wright's father was a prominent pastor and his mother was a teacher and later vice-principal of the Philadelphia High School for Girls, a distinguished academic high school. In short, Rev. Wright had a comfortable upper-middle class upbringing.
This "understandable rage from a generation that experienced poverty and humiliation" theme offered by Obama and others in Wright's defense is a crock. The Reverend's rage an emotionally self-indulgent, politically manipulative, guilt-inflicting and socially intimidating pose.
I have to admit, I don't understand why so many --- black and white, Saks and Salvation Army, liberal and yes, even conservative --- give him a pass. What a wretched charlatan.
Blacks, and their “it’s all whitey’s fault” posterkids, Jackass, Sharpton and Farrakhan, are largely responsible for the “racial divide”. Rather than trying to close the divide, they have nourished and promoted it as a way to justify their worthless existences and get rich at the same time. Blacks are far more racist against whites than whites against blacks. It is the blacks that are keeping racism alive.
I’m so tired of hearing these people whine. The American Indians were, and are, treated much worse.
She hears the last half, the question, and hears it as hostile somehow, while missing the first half, "he's adorable". You can imagine that her husband, on the other hand, simply agreed that he was adorable and didn't hear anything negative in what was, after all, an innocent question.
After reading the entire article, you begin to see that her husband is "post-racial", as are the kids, and she is not. She has had every advantage in life, yet like Mrs. Obama, she can't quite let it go. She moves easily in what she calls the white world, but the mere fact that she thinks of it as the white world tells the tale.
But unlike Mrs. Obama, she is beginning to let it go. She sees that she needs to let it go. And that the problem is largely hers. She still projects it out onto the world around her. But in the end, the problem is hers to carry or set aside.
And, thankfully, it is apparently not being passed down to her children, who see themselves as being simply themselves.
She gives Barak Obama credit for helping her to see it. As she imagines Barak saying, "who says we have to keep carrying this baggage?" In the end, it is baggage that has long outlived its meaning.
But he didn't say it, she did. She didn't learn it from him, she learned it from her kids, and her husband, and the ordinary Americans she interacts with every day.
