C'mon Obama, we weren't born yesterday
"He helped bring me to Jesus and helped bring me to church. He and I have a relationship -- he's like an uncle who talked to me, not about political things and social views, but faith and God and family."
"The statements that Rev. Wright made that are the cause of this controversy were not statements I personally heard him preach while I sat in the pews of Trinity or heard him utter in private conversation." Obama must take us for a bunch of rubes.

Ummm..... ok. If you say so, Barack.
He must have slept through all the political preaching.

Puts his wife's statements into perspective. I think this kills Obama's GE chances because this will not go away. Rasmussen said this morning that his negatives are up to 49%. That's Hillary level.

Is his pastor completely wrong when he says our nation is controlled by rich white people?

If that was the only thing he said, he wouldn't be a bigot.

Is it wrong for the KKK to point out that black men commit a very disproportionate amount of violent crime in America?

When one says that as an excuse for why black people cannot elevate their social/financial status it is utter BS. There are a lot of poor people, including immigrants who started with no money and knowing barely a word of English, who have done quite well for themselves and their families.

I don't think it's fair to compare people who were enslaved and beaten down by jim crow laws to immigrants. Even today, whites are more likely to mistreat or fear blacks than to mistreat Chinese or German or even Mexican immigrants. |

How many people alive today were enslaved? I am not saying that discrimination does not exist, but at the same time there are plenty of programs giving distinct advantages to minorities. This is particularly true in educational programs at the high school and college level. I've seen it myself.
