AMEN!! I have been taught my whole to NOT SEE RACE. This election has me questioning the fact that I am the only one not allowed to see race.

Your wish is granted...tonight Michelle will be on Anderson Cooper at 10 p.m.
"Also, NBC's Meredith Vieira will sit down with Barack and Michelle Obama today in Indianapolis for an interview that will air on the Today show Thursday morning, the network says in its billing of a campaign 'exclusive.' A segment of the interview also will air on the NBC Nightly News and on MSNBC this evening."
Goodness, Mrs. Clinton at 8 on The Factor, American Idol at 9, Michelle at 10...what a night of TV!

At a time when African Americans are on the cusp of watching a barrier come crashing down, up jumps a divisive issue that is being driven by those outside of the black community. Not only are they guilty of developing AIDS and crack cocaine, but of kidnapping and infecting/injecting innocent Blacks with the same, but now, they are driiiiiiving a diviiiiiisive isssue!

I will certainly pass along your kind words. He’s now been home for approximately five months. If what he has told me stays the same, he will not have to redeploy until the summer of 2009.

There is no institution in the black community more respected than the black church. And the notion that white pundits can dictate what constitutes unacceptable speech in the black church is repulsive to most black people. And naturally, this guy will equally proclaim as unacceptable the notion that black pundits can dictate what constitutes unacceptable speech in a white institution (assuming such a thing as a "white institution" was legal in the US these days)

I wouldnt doubt Hillary offered Wright money or something to do what he’s done. Nothing could have helpoed her more.

Unacceptable speech? This woman doesn't get it - notions like "unacceptable speech" aren't part of any nation that supports free speech. Rev. Wright is free to rant all the nonsense he wants and his followers are free to listen. And those who disagree with Wright's statements are free to respond, which is what is happening. Don't like it? Too bad - free speech isn't restricted to what happens outside of black churches.
To: Jeff Head
Yesterday, Rush Limbaugh said that a woman from the Clinton campaign helped get Rev. Wright an audience before the National Press Club. I wouldn’t be surprised if the good reverend is working for the Clinton campaign in order to punish Obama.

But really, what more should blacks have to sacrifice? Their dignity?Well, Mary, if by "dignity" you mean "buffoonish paranoia", then yes.

Mary Mitchell, it’s sistas like you who are bringing down Black America for Black Men like me who want to make it and compete with our own God-given talent.

Yeah. Obviously there’s only two possibilities. Either Obama was a loyal parishioner of Wright’s because he agreed with him, in which case his present disavowal of the man is a shockingly cynical and dishonest piece of political expediency and a total betrayal of everything Obama claimed to be to win election in Chicago. Or, Obama never agreed with Wright or his theology and just attended Trinity United in order to get a leg up politically on the South Side, in which case he’s a con man who played his own people for suckers.
I guess there is a third possibility. That Obama only attended the church because Michelle insisted on it, and he slept through every sermon too bored to pay attention.
I don’t know which of the above is more insulting to the “Black community”, but any one of them will do to make Obama burnt toast. Forget the White House - I’m not sure he can even win re-election to his Senate seat after this.

Being driven by those outside the black community?
Silly, me. I always thought that black people were part of the same community as me......the Human Community.
This election is a real eyeopener.

Worst possible outcome for Barack Mohammed (since we are no longer to refer to his given middle name) Obama, Jr., the charismatic, messianic Magic Negro. He is unmasked as a total fraud, an Uncle Tom that does the Stepin Fetchit routine, and in the end, is dragged back into that bucket of crabs that he has nearly gotten out of.
He dies in a drive-by shooting, and crime goes unsolved.
Not literally, of course. But it is still the kind of “lynching” that so many of the community of Americans of African descent seem to consider their continuing legacy.

Senator Obama will be back at Trinity. He will also remain friends with Reverend Wright. He has not claimed he is leaving either the church or ceasing his friendship with Pastor Wright.Many are hearing what they want to hear, not what Senator Obama actually said.
Thou speakest a heap of wisdom there, friend.

The best scenario is for him to go ahead and barely win the nomination, continuing under great pressure and a real dog fight with Hillary, and get lambasted and blown out in the general.

Mary Mitchell is a racist. Jeremiah Wright is a racist lunatic. They’re killing their candidate with it and true to form all they can do is blame somebody else.
To: Billthedrill
They just showed a clip of interview with Meridith Viera & the O’s. MV askd MO how she felt about the rev and MO dodged the question. MV asked again and she said something about getting past this and is just thinking about her kids and something else I couldnt understand but didn’t answer the question at all.
