seriously, I keep seeing everyone post Obama as being racist...which I actually find ironic since Obama is black. Does anyone have any links to site these accusations?

  1. In the public arena, racism is subtle and can go both directions.  Use your own eyes and evaluate his actions and come to your own conclusions.


  2. Barry and his wife attended a Black Liberation Theology "church" for over 20 years. He called the Rev. Wright his "personal friend, mentor, and spiritual adviser" and his children were baptized by him.

    This Rev. claims that the attacks on 9/11 were Americans fault and that "Americas chickens are coming home to roost...". He famously said:

    "Not God bless America...God d**n America!"

    If Obama can sit there every week and listen to this hate filled speech for many years, it is assumed he believes it.

    Check out the sermons on youtube, you will be SHOCKED!

  3. Just because he is Black.  

  4. Those who do so are projecting their own racism onto him. Or they are part of the Right Wing We Will Do and Say Anything to Smear the Opposition.

    Gia is absolutely right.

  5. Obama is black?

    Bwhahahahhahah!  Only when it fits his agenda

  6. Neocons want to brainwash you against him.  Ignore it and keep writing.

    His church included other races, even whites.  Even white preachers.

    Neocons are full of it.  Must be about profits again.  They're always about profits.

  7. He is not racist.

    He is half black and half white, he turned out with darker skin but it does not change the fact he is biracial.

    I know there are black and white racist people in the world and have experienced both.

    Normally you find more racist in poor working class family's, who are born and raised in the same area and have experienced little about other places in the world.

    I am not saying this is always the case because you do always have an exception to the rule.


  8. It's very ironic, considering the only overtly racist posts you generally see here on YA are of the white supremacist variety.


  9. Skin color doesn't determine whether or not someone can be racist.  

  10. Because they are ignorant. Racism is a system set up to deny outside of a certain group access to control and things within that groups system. Keeping that in proper perspective black people cannot be racist. They have never put white people in America in slavery, made them go to back doors to eat, have Blacks only bathrooms- water fountains, and ride in the middle in the night hiding behind trick or treat costumes like scared little girls abducting people and killing them for nothing, turned water hoses on white people or. Blacks never set up a system to stop white people from voting or set up jim crow laws. So again Obama nor Black people can be racist. Blacks can be prejudice which means to prejudge people and situations based upon the past but not racist.

  11. Because of this....

  12. Why do you think a black man cant be racist? Obama is deemed a racist because of his denying his white heritage and because he spent 20 years listening to a man preach hate and then swore he never heard anything like that. He goes in for causes like the million man march and affirmative action. Both racist.

    Moderatedude, that comment jsut makes elitist too.

  13. I love Obama, dude he is white and black...he can say whatever he wants about either group if he wanted which I dont think he has at all unlike some of previous white idiots in government about blacks. I am white by the way:)

  14. Hmm...he attended a separatist church for 20 years??

    Just a wild guess there ;)

    I find it funny that you think it is impossible for Obama to be racist because he is black

  15. I don't know why people say what they do, but I think they are entitled to their opinion. For example, I could accuse you of being racist for suggesting that only white people can be racist.

  16. No different than  accusing sharks as being murders,  I haven't seen any great whites running down the street biting the backs out of ppl.   But they gotta say something instead of admitting their true feelings..I have a fear of any black person being in charge

  17. People are grasping at straws trying to discredit Obama.  What about the churches who preach that g**s are going to h**l, etc?  Stop pinning his old Pastor's views on him.  

  18. He attended a racist church for 20 years. Black people can be racist.  

  19. why~is racism  color blind,

  20. Because it gives them an excuse not to vote for him that doesn't imply THEY are racist. It's called Cognitive Dissonance.  

  21. He attended a church for 20 years that promoted Black Liberation Theology. Zerobama is not deaf...he heard the hate for white people espoused by his spiritual advisor Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

    Nobama is Horrible! Unexcusable!

    Osama Biden Laden?

    McCain/Palin '08

    Dignity

    Leadership

    Experience

  22. if they actually did some f*cking research they would learn that the church has white members

    http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/...

    and i CHALLENGE someone to find a video clip where rev. wright preaches hatred against whites.

  23. Ever hear the "typical white people talk" or the "black public will soon wake up and realize what they need to do". Making it seem like if you are black you have to vote for him or you are doing a disservice to your race.

  24. If you get it, you will see it's not a black and white issue it's a Have and Have Not issue.

    Those that Have and worked for it, in some twisted way Obama wants to tax it away and give it to those that Have not.

  25. Most folks do not understand the history of the black church in american and have no clue what "liberation theology" means to christians in many parts of the world.  

    so, they take sound bites of rev. wright, saying its a totally racist church; not understanding the whole picture.


  26. hes a muslim his wife michelle is a racist and wasnt proud of usa till he allmost sealed the democrat nomination

  27. He made some comments about white rural american on how they are all racist and bitter so they cling to guns and religion.

  28. they say that instead of calling him the n word.  their racist

    Obama 08.

  29. So you think you can't be racist and be black? Get a clue!  Anyone can be a racist. I don't think he is a racist though,  just naive.

  30. Don't you know that only white people are allowed to be racist ? At least according to Republicans.

    How ever this white older military Christian widow of a disabled veteran will vote for Obama and Biden.

  31. Black people can be racist too, you know. But I don't know why.
