Based on what?

Being a black man and attending many, many black churches while growing up and as an adult I can honestly say that really is not true. Calling for the destruction of America and the White race are not typical of any Christian church, be it black or white.

Reverend Wright didn't call for the destruction of America or the white race. He mocked what he perceived to be prevailing attitudes among whites with relation to political privilege along with the perceived ironies in our country's claims to moral superiority in spite of a long string of perceived human rights abuses. He did say "God damn America" as a play on the common phrase "God bless America", but there are multiple dimensions of meaning to that. That's about the closest he came to calling for the destruction of America. About whites; he stated we had some attitude problems when it comes to social justice and politics. In very strong terms, but hardly a call for destruction. Anyway, if pressed, I doubt he would insist that all whites fall under the category he disdains; but impassioned sermons don't accommodate particulars and exceptions.

Note -- perceived. This isn't about what I think, and I don't want to make it about what I think.

Ah, well then I bow to your supernatural greatness!!
 
No, Obama is not a secret racist .





As the matter of the fact Obama has been an open and explicit racist for all his life, he has never made a secret out of that.




The question is only the matter of the opinion of the overwhelming majority willing to close their eyes at the facts, no secrecy involved.



The rule of the overwhelming majority is known to us as democracy, or in other words –the rule of the haters of the US. There is no secrecy or doubt in that.

I have long thought that he and Michelle are the type, when the lights are low, in the most secretive of moments, to talk about "whitey." But I certainly have no evidence of such so I must digress. I just know how people ARE (no matter what the SAY they are.)

Well quite interesting you would say this. Do you believe this because you yourself take part in such discussions when no one else of color is around? Or do you suspect this for other reasons? Believe it or not, not everyone obsesses about race, gender, or ethnicity.

as he has been begging you for that like the last beggar would. be

For all his time on DP he has not posted any other expression rather than begging you to bow to him.

We have 2 Captains here, measured equal..

My point exactly. True not every one obcesses about race, gender, or ethnicity. But "racism" is hardly defined in black and white terms (pardon the pun.)

To me, real racism is a sincere distrust or dislike of a particular race.

But we all love a good ethnic joke. To some, even a good joke is considered racist. You know all those PC, touchy-feely, types. :roll:

Those who stand on their soapbox and preach about their self-rightousness about being non-racial are most likely the biggest closet racists of all.

Just a hunch. No more, no less. Just sayin'....

But, back to topic, judged on the same standards a white man is judged on these days by the PC police, then I would have to say that Obama's remarks were very racist indeed. But, just going by MY standards, I think what he said was just stupid. Thus, my position that he is no more or no less predjudice than the average Joe.

You seem to know the rev quite well. I am assuming this is a guess on your part?

I agree he did not literally call for the destruction of America, but ask any Christian what "God damn America" means. In context it is no play on words...

""The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, God damn America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people,"

He meant it just the way it sounded.

You cannot defend comments like...

"That HIV was a genocidal conspiracy by Whites against Blacks".

"Barack knows what it means to be a black man to be living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people. Hillary can never know that. Hillary ain't never been called a nigger."

And then state this is typical of most black churches.

I am sorry but I think your perception is a little off If you find this is "typical" of black churches. :shrug:

Secret? No, just a racist.
 
I voted "Yes" but after reading the posts here really agree with what most of you have said. He is not a "secret racist". It is quite apparent to anyone paying attention that he is a overt blatent racist.
 
"Secretly?!"

If John McCain had mentored for 20 years under an ultra-nationalist KKK preacher, no one would be using the word, "secretly."
 
He seems like no kind of racist to me.He was actually right about the gates thing and any prosecutor asked for a warrent in the same situation would of said the same thing.
 
Some could not be any more transparent in their projection of their own racial fears. Seriously, there is a mirror, use it.
 
Sorry I did not vote as I am too busy counting Czars, and figuring out how badly this band of thieves is going to screw up our country :mrgreen::doh

Maybe Rev Wright was right on one thing as it seems a whole lot of chickens are roosting up in DC, but thats been going on for a while now.:roll:
 
It seems to be all prominent blacks think about these days. Racism is a business that makes money, so it must be kept alive. Just ask Jackson and Sharpton.

Talking points? How about the last band of thieves who made a disaster of things? As for you counting Czars did you lose count under Dubya? He had many more Czars and most of the Czars under Obama have dual roles and have been confirmed by the senate.

The chickens did come home to roost. The CIA has a term for it, its called blowback and a lot of it we experienced during the last administration in follow up to Reagan's foreign policies.

This is incorrect. How many "czars" is obama having? How many did Bush have?
 
Bobo is not secretly a racist. I would opine that he is and always has been openly a racist.

Bobo can be understood by looking at his make up: Envy, hate and revenge.

Bobo? You opine that he is based on you saying he is nevermind that he doesn't fit the definition of the word. How does he have envy hate or revenge on his mind? Just sounds like more generic distractions when there are more important things to worry about.

You are correct. By definition only white males with a job or on retirement can be a racist.

*Sigh*

Gates is his friend, if I'm not mistaken, so the President might have jumped in based on his knowledge that Gates was a harmless older man.

And in the final analysis Obama was right that one can't be unruly in one's own home. As an attorney he may have known this.

Gates acted like a jerk but he didn't do anything illegal, that's why the charges against him were dropped.
 
Secretly Hell Know he is a Open Walking and Talking Bigot and racist from the get go.

He will blame it on his White Grandmother Oh wait he already has done that:doh
 
I wonder, when B.O. was coming up, who gave him the most sh** about being a "half-breed? White's or blacks?

And, how come being half black makes you black? Is it that, in order to be white, one must be "pure?" :roll:

There are so many, subliminal, racial factors surronding this presidency, who can keep up?
