What, Me Racist?

I don't understand why our side wastes so much time defending the BS "racist" charge when there are so many REAL racists on the black communist left. We should just confront them with that. ie, "Black Liberation Theology", etc.

From Jeff Head's website...
One notable quote from [James] Cone describing his Black Liberation Theology is as follows:

"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community ... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love." - "Divine Racism: The Unacknowledged Threshold Issue for Black Theology", in African-American Religious Thought: An Anthology, by William R Jones, ed Cornel West and Eddie Glaube (Westminster John Knox Press).

HANNITY: But Reverend Jeremiah Wright is not backing down and has not for years and in his strong stance on the teaching of black liberation theology is nothing new. He had the same things to say last spring when he appeared on "Hannity & Colmes:"

WRIGHT: If you're not going to talk about theology in context, if you're not going to talk about liberation theology that came out of the '60s, systematized black liberation theology that started with Jim Cone in 1968 and the writings of Cone and the writings of Dwight Hopkins and the writings of womynist theologians and Asian theologians and Hispanic theologians, then you can't talk about the black value system.

HANNITY: But I'm a — reverend

WRIGHT: Do you know liberation theology, sir?

Don’t worry Ken, they’ve gone from that to jealous, class-envy, hater, sell-out, back to the beloved Uncle Tom, now it’s ‘you hate half-breeds’... I guess they finally figured it out, we despise both sides. /sarcasm

As the poster says, ‘We hate the white half too’.

For the record, when I was in the process of moving from Ohio to S. Utah, it was in the fall. I made sure I stayed their long enough to cast an absentee ballot for Secretary Blackwell in his unsuccessful quest for governor. It was that important to me, to delay my move out west, to cast a ballot for him.

Michael Steele is a good egg, and all that. But Ken Blackwell is all business. He is a serious, “balls to the wall” conservative who doesn’t suffer fools gladly.

I’d follow this cat to the ends of the earth. He’s the real deal.

I voted for Blackwell as well. Strickland is a typical liberal idiot with no business sense. Ohio has gone so wrong by electing that fool Sherrod Brown to the Senate.

I moved out of Ohio because I saw the state and its economy dying. Little did I know that the cancer of Socialism that destroyed Ohio was spreading to all 50 states.

I hope at least one state secedes. I will move there in a heartbeat.

“We all celebrated the election of a black man as President. This was long overdue and something in which all Americans can take justifiable pride.”

I agree with most of the article, but the obligatory statement above—found in so many critiques from the right—feels false.

I don’t believe a word of it.

The Not So Simple Story (from the still available archive)

Snip:

A boy wants to find his place in a family where he is visibly different: chubby where others are thin, dark where others are light.

A youth living in a distant land searches and finds new friends, a new language and a heartbreaking lesson about his identity in the pages of an American magazine.

A young black man struggles for acceptance at an institution of privilege, where he finds himself growing so angry and disillusioned at the world around him that he turns to alcohol and drugs.

These have been the stories told about the first two character-shaping decades of U.S. Sen. Barack Obama’s life, a story line largely shaped by his own best-selling memoir, political speeches and interviews.

But the reality of Obama’s narrative is not that simple.

More than 40 interviews with former classmates, teachers, friends and neighbors in his childhood homes of Hawaii and Indonesia, as well as a review of public records, show the arc of Obama’s personal journey took him to places and situations far removed from the experience of most Americans.

At the same time, several of his oft-recited stories may not have happened in the way he has recounted them. Some seem to make Obama look better in the retelling, others appear to exaggerate his outward struggles over issues of race, or simply skim over some of the most painful, private moments of his life.

The handful of black students who attended Punahou School in Hawaii, for instance, say they struggled mightily with issues of race and racism there. But absent from those discussions, they say, was another student then known as Barry Obama.

In his best-selling autobiography, “Dreams from My Father,” Obama describes having heated conversations about racism with another black student, “Ray.” The real Ray, Keith Kakugawa, is half black and half Japanese. In an interview with the Tribune on Saturday, Kakugawa said he always considered himself mixed race, like so many of his friends in Hawaii, and was not an angry young black man.

He said he does recall long, soulful talks with the young Obama and that his friend confided his longing and loneliness. But those talks, Kakugawa said, were not about race. “Not even close,” he said, adding that Obama was dealing with “some inner turmoil” in those days.

“But it wasn’t a race thing,” he said. “Barry’s biggest struggles then were missing his parents. His biggest struggles were his feelings of abandonment. The idea that his biggest struggle was race is [bull].”

Then there’s the copy of Life magazine that Obama presents as his racial awakening at age 9. In it, he wrote, was an article and two accompanying photographs of an African-American man physically and mentally scarred by his efforts to lighten his skin. In fact, the Life article and the photographs don’t exist, say the magazine’s own historians.

Some of these discrepancies are typical of childhood memories — fuzzy in specifics, warped by age, shaped by writerly license. Others almost certainly illustrate how carefully the young man guarded the secret of his loneliness from even those who knew him best. And the accounts bear out much of Obama’s self-portrait as someone deeply affected by his father’s abandonment yet able to thrive in greatly disparate worlds.

Mmm, mmm, mmm

Within ‘What O hasn’t said about his father’ piece/S&L

Snip:

Mr Obama claims that he, too, has been racially abused, even during his campaign for the White House.

His mother, Ann, decided that he should get an American education and sent him back from Indonesia to Hawaii, where he was admitted to a £7,000-a-year prep school, Punahau Academy, and lived with his maternal grandparents.

And while there, says Mr Obama, he was tortured by fellow pupils – who let out monkey hoots – and turned into a disenchanted teenage rebel, experimenting with cocaine and marijuana.

Even his grandparents were troubled by dark skin, he says in his book, recalling how once his grandmother complained about being pestered by a beggar.

“You know why she’s so scared?” he recalls his grandfather saying. “She told me the fella was black.”

Mr Obama says his soaring ‘dream’ of a better America grew out of his ‘hurt and pain’.

Friends, however, remember his time at school rather differently. He was a spoiled high-achiever, they recall, who seemed as fond of his grandparents as they were of him.

He affectionately signed a school photo of himself to them, using their pet names, Tut and Gramps.

The caption says: “Thanks… for all the good times.” He worked on the school’s literary magazine and wore a white suit, of the style popular with New York writers at the time.

One of his former classmates, Alan Lum, said: “Hawaii is such a melting pot that it didn’t occur to me when we were growing up that he might have problems about being one of the few African-Americans at the school. Us kids didn’t see colour. He was easy-going and well-liked.”

Lon Wysard, who also attended the academy, said the budding politician was in fact idolised for his keen sportsmanship.

“He was the star basketball player and always had a ball in his hand wherever he was,” Wysard recalled.

Mr Obama was later admitted to read politics and international relations at New York’s prestigious Columbia University where, his book claims, “no matter how many times the administration tried to paint them over, the walls remained scratched with blunt correspondence (about) niggers.”

But one of his classmates, Joe Zwicker, 45, now a lawyer in Boston, said yesterday: “That surprises me. Columbia was a pretty tolerant place. There were African American students in my classes and I never saw any evidence of racism at all.”…

A family friend said: “He is haunted by his father’s failures. He grew up thinking of his father as a brilliant intellectual and pioneer of African independence only to learn that in Western terms he was basically a drunken lecher.”

This ugly truth, say friends, has made Mr Obama ruthlessly determined to use every weapon that he has to succeed, including the glossily edited version of his father’s story.

“At the end of the day Barack wants the story to help his political cause, so perhaps he couldn’t afford to be too honest,” said Ochieng…

It is sad to see that this late there are still idiots writing this trash instead of addressing the issues in the health care bill.

Imagine if 90 plus percent of white voters always voted for white candidates against black candidates and promoted the idea in their churches that that was a Christian thing to do.

“Then there’s the copy of Life magazine that Obama presents as his racial awakening at age 9. In it, he wrote, was an article and two accompanying photographs of an African-American man physically and mentally scarred by his efforts to lighten his skin.

Great post - had not read the above before.

- was listening to Rush while I was reading this and your subject and what Rush was talking about go together.

btt

I don’t think you’re being fair to Ken Blackwell.

He directly answered the people who accuse health-care critics of racism.

My point is that this racist rant has been going on for two weeks or longer. It was brought out to distract from what is in the health care bill.

And it is working.

Are you aware that the HC bill allows the FEDS to withdraw money directly from your bankl accounts without your permission?

It also requires a chip implant under your skin with all of your med records and God knows what else on it?
