Amongst other things...

As shown by his pastor of 20 years, and the company he keeps?

Heres your sources...the hourses mouth. Direct from obama himself...

From Dreams of My Father: I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.

From Dreams of My Father : I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mothers race.

From Dreams of My Father: There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.

From Dreams of My Father: It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.

From Dreams of My Father: I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.

From Audacity of Hope: I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

  1. So, by your logic, if I support women, emulate women leaders, identify with women - I am a man hater? Hmmm.  


  2. He's proud of his heritage and feels more connected to that then his mothers. So what.

    And if he stands against the Muslims, then is that ok?

    I seriously don't see anything racist about this. It's just taken out of context.

  3. Racist against whom? He is black & white, and was raised by whites.

  4. Easy, I ignore real racists.

  5. Obviously ignorance is the answer.

    Most of the people don't even understand what a racist is. He showed a prejudice against whites (his own mother) that should have settled it. Of course you have people saying he's half white/half black so he couldn't possibly be racist. If I'm a woman that disrespects others because they are women I'm a sexist.

    Your asking people that can't give a reason except "HOPE" as a reason to vote for a presidential candidate. The church he went to said if God was for the "white man" then he should be destroyed and they would find another deity. And they think he's not racist?

  6. Doesn't prove he's racist it just proved he had a hard time figuring out who he was. Unless he hates his White mom, grandad, grand mom, uncles and aunts. He was obviously more accepted by Blacks as many bi racial (Black/White) people are, especially in those days I'm guessing.  

  7. alot of blacks in america are very racist, why do you think there are so many double standards? i mean affirmative action....nuff said, i don't ignore it, it scares me to think of an america with him in charge, i mean he wen to a church for a very long time, i think you all remember what the Reverend was caught saying, and only AFTER he is caught saying it, does obama leave the church, well I'm sorry if he was a proud unbyist america he would have left a church where the preacher says "god d**n america"

  8. Obama is no racist but I believe you are.  

  9. If he's a racist, why does he have Biden as his VP? What about McCain? He said that anybody that makes under $5 million is pretty much poor. He is George Bush all over again. So why vote for somebody like that? He is not talking about Universal Health care ot anything like that. He can't even make up his own mind who he going to pick for VP. Undecisive. And he wants to be president...He has a fight on his hands.

  10. Probably because they're unhappy with the direction our leadership has gone in the past eight years.

  11. You're the kind of person that represents a clear and present danger to this country, and the reason so many people are supporting Obama.

    There is no room for the ignorance, hatred and prejudice you just displayed by your question. Please go back to bed and pull the pillow back over your head.  

  12. Because it is a fact.

    Who would want to admit to an ugly truth.

  13. The real question is...if I don't vote for Obama, am I racist?

  14. Most politicians at national leve create and use hatred to maintain power over us.  They divide us along the lines of color, s*x, nationality and religious faith.

    That's what Affirmative Action is all about.  Thats the real reason for "Diversity" and "Multi- Culturalism".  That's what's behind terms like "Islamofascists".  It's all about hatred, and it's one of the politicians most useful tools.

  15. Obama isn't a racist.  You, I'm not so sure about...

    Thanks for the cherry picked lines.  Did you actually READ either book?

  16. Racism is prejudice or discrimination based on an individual's race; can be expressed individually or through institutional policies or practices.

    Telling the truth isn't racist.

  17. Because hes black and Liberals refuse to believe that a black man can be a racist.
