“That even supposedly conservative people are still giving this guy a pass or the benefit of the doubt is beyond my comprehension.”
I would say allegedly conservative. I view most politicians as whores. Many of them have a finger in the air before they even decide which Party they want to run as. Look at the “compromise” Republicans reached with the Obama Administration
“Poor urban blacks distrust anyone from outside their community, eg, someone with less prominently black features, not born in an urban US environment, and having more education than they did.”
I do not see that as an accurate analysis. How does it explain people like Adam Clayton Powell and Charlie Rangel. Both are more educated and do not have prominently black features. This is a complex dynamic that goes back to pre-Civil War days in the slave holding South.
No time now to go into any more detail, but there is much more involved than you have described. No offense intended. I sure don’t want to start a fight.
finally
Oprah had Michelle and Barack on her show early on and endorsed him for President. Oprah is all about race, first, last and foremost.
It is thought of as harsh and vengeful, but it’s actually defining limits - no more than —
I tend to concur- punishment under the Law was meted out most typically congruent with the crime.
Some crimes(sins), however were dealt with quite harshly by today’s standards. Adultery, witchcraft, etc.
I think they were the signs of apostasy, to be driven out so that Israel was pure in the eyes of the LORD.
Today we are under a new covenant and may rely on God to exact justice.

“The truth was always there, but the media protected him.”
Just like the media tried to play down the swifties. Funny, if Hllary didn’t have aspirations for 2008, the media might have worked a bit harder to cover the swifties up.
Wonder why he left out Wright being an apostate.

Ryan Lizza was steadfast about the interview. ( since washed from the internet )
The original article has been washed from the internet.
and The New Republic is blocking wayback.
However, Barack Obama provides an account of his meeting Rev. Wright in Dreams from my Father, as well as this brief bio of Wright on p. 282:
“He had grown up in Philadelphia, the son of a Baptist minister. He had resisted his father’s vocation at first, joining the Marines out of college, dabbling with liquor, Islam, and black nationalism in the sixties. But the call of his faith had apparently remained, a steady tug on his heart, and eventually he’d entered Howard, then the University of Chicago, where he spent six years studying for a Ph.D. in the history of religion. “
Maybe just more determined, like a good Leninist.
There's another piece to the story ..... the fact that there aren't more churches like Wright's (as Obama hoped there would be), and that even in Wright's church, some congregants had serious problems with Wright's message.
I tend to forget that the Left groomed Obama with radical views from the time he was very small. He could be nothing else but radical.
Obviously false. If it were true, John McCain would be President.
Most of the nation are sheeple. That's supportable conclusion!
Obama’s ties to socialist groups has been exposed many times yet the media turns a blind eye to it,wonder what that makes the media out to be?. /s
“The Black Church is not a monolith, but there is an undercurrent that can play on resentment in many traditionally black denominations.”
What in the world does that mean?
You may be onto something there.
Baraq is 50% white, was raised middle class in Hawaii, attended an elite college prep high school, went to Ivy League colleges, and was a law prof @ Univ of Chicago.
In order to gain the 99% support of the black underclass / black political establishment (which was the foundation of his political career in Illinois), he needed to do his time as a community organizer, marry a "real" black woman, and attend a "real" black church.
I think they got their badge of blackness during the civil rights era of the 50s and 60s. Baraq was too young for that so he needed other avenues, thus community organizing, marrying a "real" black woman, and attending Rev. Wright's Temple of Hating Whitey.
BTTT and Happy New Year!
