Is Barack Obama a racist?

Question

He was going to that church that bashed Jews, Italians and other races and the only reason he stopped going was because it was made public and he could lose votes if he didn't stop going.

Answer 1

I think he is ! It doesn't matter if his mother is white and his father is black. You can still have hatred towards a race.

McCain/Palin '08

Answer 2

No. Does everyplace YOU go to- reflect the "person" YOU are ??! Churches are houses of "Prayer" -first & foremost. Their Leaders come & go- & we listen to them (or sleep THROUGH them)- more or less. Obama is of mixed race, Himself... So wherever He goes, he's probably gonna hear "racist" remarks about SOME part of His Heritage...  

Answer 3

Being half white doesn't make him a non racist.

Who you associate with doesn't always determine who you are because if you choose like that then you're discriminatory yourself.

Answer 4

How can you NOT consider who a candidate decides to support and keep company with? I was appalled at the Reverend's sermon. Talk about reverse racism... It's shameful that Obama associates with them!

Answer 5

You are so misinformed.  You need to try reading once in a while.  

His mother was 100% white, as were his grandparents who raised him.

You are more racist than Obama has ever considered.

Answer 6

First of all, Obama had a lowsy attendance...almost as bad as McCain's voting roll call. However, I do find it entertaining that the mainstream media often overlooks the Church activities of McCain's (advocates war to fulfill religious prophecy) or Palin ( documented occaisions where they argue terrorism against Jews is justified). With that said, religion itself can be misconstrued to make hate when in reality it is created to do the opposite.  

Answer 7

I'm a Jew and I don't care.  wanna know why? I read his book.  Try it.  Then maybe you won't be so ignorant on his beliefs.

Answer 8

is barck obama a racist? umm lets see does a bear go to the bathroom in the woods? every1 heard what his mentor and pastor said all those stupid racest unamerican comments he made ...its textbook reverse racism i know its hard for people to handle the truth but lifes hardd

Answer 9

It is not the reason he attended that church. He wanted to go into politics on the South side of Chicago and that church was well liked so it was expedient for him to go there. As in his Carree he will go where the money is like Rezko who helped him get started, but then when the heats on he throws all his friends under the bus. He will do anything to get elected but I don't believe he was a racist his church was good for him in the beginning but then backfired.

Answer 10

Who could be called a racist better than the Republicans ?

I thought that after showing one black man on Wednesday they would increase that number by 100% and make it two. Not so, I only saw the

same black man again tonight.

My Relatives are still going to their Catholic Church even though some of them have  known of sexual abuse by priests for along time.

May he who lives in glass houses not cast a stone.

Answer 11

No. He is half white and he is not a racist. He is a good man.
