A modest question.....

[lonster]

I wonder when someone will have the gonads and the proximity to ask Obama where he stands on reparations???

[Grunthor]

In his Senate race against Kermit the Frog....er Alan Keyes, he said that he was against the idea.

[Fox_Mulder77]

Does it matter?!? Everything he says is a lie, so he’ll just lie and say, “no”, while he winks to Sharpton, Wright, and old Louis. Waste of time to ask him anything.

[Hildy]

I've been saying this for awhile now. It's going to be his Achilles Heel...it's a lose-lose for him. Wait until the white working class finds out why the black community is salivating at the prospect of a President Obama:

Geez, slavery reparations is being talked about again? Can’t we give it a rest because everyone involved with it, either as slave or slave owner, is long dead?

[lonster]

If that's the case, where would the naacp and the black caucus have to say about it??

[lonster]

Yep, but the issue would be toxic this time. wot fun eh??

[chris_bdba]

I was told that this was a promise to the people of the southside of Chicago that once in the Senate he’d work towards seeing they all got them?

[givemELL]

Ask the wife too.

[Fox_Mulder77]

They’d say what all of Obama’s backers say, “He just has to say certain things to get elected.” Obama and his supporters think white people are DUMB!!

[passionfruit]

Obama isn’t the descendant of slaves. If they offered reparations to all blacks, would he take it?

How about reparations for the descendants of Union soldiers, who fought to free the slaves? Or even thank you cards? Nope, we would be among the ones expected to pay.

[romanesq]

Why not ask him something a bit more challenging. Ask him if he supports black liberation theology and since he’s left the church of Rev. Wright is he still espouses a God who is pro-black and anti-white?

I would love to hear that asked of him and watch his face fall.

[boomop1]

Ask Michelle, Osama was for them before he was against them.

[romanesq]

... does he still espouse a God...

[snippy_about_it]

I’ve been waiting for it also. The reason? If you listen to “father” Flegher (sp?) before he rants about Hillary when he was at Trinity, he ranted about reparations. The news media never shows it.

[mojito]

Trinity United passed a resolution in favor of reparations in 2002. I guess Obama wasn't in church that Sunday.

[Fox_Mulder77]

I was told that this was a promise to the people of the southside of Chicago that once in the Senate he’d work towards seeing they all got them?

I never heard that, but if that's the case it doesn't surprise me. It wouldn't surprise me if a tape came out showing him promise his church that he will destroy the "white" man once in office.

[Born In America]

I can tell you his view, though it may not be his answer should the question ever be posed. He support reparations.

He attended a conference in Chicago in 2002 with the following persons in his group;

IV. Intellectuals in Times of Crisis Experiences and applications of intellectual work in urgent situations. William Ayers, UIC, College of Education; author of Fugitive Days Douglass Cassel, Northwestern University, Center for International Human Rights Cathy Cohen, University of Chicago, Political Science Salim Muwakkil, Chicago Tribune; In These Times Barack Obama, Illinois State Senator Barbara Ransby, UIC, African-American Studies (moderator)

Of interest is Salim Muwakkil, an ardent pupporter of reparations. Google his name and you will be amazed at how many references pop up and are reparations related....

[fish hawk]

That’s a racist question!!!
