Answer 1

Like it or not Reverend Wright is speaking the truth. American doesn't want to examine itself and when we look at others we want them to serve us what we want to hear in the package that we want to hear it in. If we get it any other way the American media would have you believe that something is wrong with the messenger. He was not a reserved, expressionless individual that did not display passion for his subject matter. Well let me say this. I am tired of the reserved, expressionless individuals that are not promoting a common good in America!

Answer 2

I agree... and have been wondering the same thing.. I guess it's more fun to accuse someone of racism then it is to hold someone responsible for being a down right LIAR.

Answer 3

they imagine his wife as first lady and get sick at the stomach.

Answer 4

7 years ago a little over 50% of our voting population voted for Bush who is clearly a baboon.  Most Americans are stupid, or at least half are.  What they don't understand is that the media especially CNN, are trying to sqash Obama's chances. They have forced comments  taken out of context down our throats and many Americans just eat it up. Do we have a society that can't think for itself, I think we do.  Its clear to me that is why many people overlook Hillary's lies. Snipper fire? Really?

Answer 5

Baserunner:  what a great post.

Since others have answered admirably, I'll just say:

Nightsh:  If you do some background research on Black Liberation Theology, I think you'll feel better about it.  It came about to meet needs of black people.  It is becoming less necessary all the time as things get better.  But we're not there yet.   BLT will weaken and disappear as prejudice does.

JoeJohn:  You make an interesting point.  My son is half black and half white and I always think of him as such.  The tradition of calling mixed people "black" comes from the slave days when one drop of black blood made you black.

Answer 6

Man, I've been trying to tell people from the beginning the Hillary is no good. The Clinton's ruined Arkansas - how do I know I live here and when he was in office the state started going down hill very fast. THEY ARE CROOKS! Do some research. We don't call him "Slick Willy" in regards to his anatomy. Look at NAFTA or as we here in Arkansas call it the "let's s***w Americans out of their jobs".

Answer 7

Nobody takes Hillary serious, that is why, she in only running for ambitious reasons, to be the first female president.  I think Obama is doing the same, first Black/Mixed/White president.  I dont think either one has the best interest of the country at heart.  I never could find Obamas plan for the country, his Hope plan.  His plan may be on the internet now, I gave up looking.

Answer 8

Both are unacceptable in my book but the sad part is at least she HAS a record. He has nothing but a racist pastor, criminal  and terrorist friends, and a wife who hates this country.  Not looking good for either of them.

Answer 9

What i'd like to know is: Why is it that everyone talks about him as if he's BLACK, when he's JUST AS MUCH WHITE as he is black.  As a matter of fact, his grandmother was full Irish, and there are Millions of Irish decendents in this country. So, if you're Irish, vote for your own kind, Obama. If you want MORE LIES vote republican.  They have lied to us and stolen from us and taken away from the middle class.  And, they've sold it with religion.  NOW THAT'S CLASS!!

Answer 10

Sadly, Rev. Wright is destroying Senator Obama.  With friends like him, you do not need enemies.

Answer 11

Tell me why do the Democrats have this overwhelming need to lie and lie and lie? And then tell me why o why some of you still feel this compulsive need to still stick up for them and believe anything they say? Why is that i wonder?

Answer 12

Because this country is totally screwed up. I mean honestly, how could it not be an issue? In a country where, black Zionists preach hate and rage against the white man, Neo n***s and KKK do the same about the black man. The people who really hold the power, would rather poor whites and blacks be at each others throats. It keeps the poor from rising up against the injustice of a capitalist order. I used to be a democrat, now I think I've died and gone to h**l. Hillary smells about as sincere as Limburger cheese, and Obama has some really strange religious Friends. Frankly, if I were a republican I'd probably be very happy.
