What really makes Obama A racist and can we end this topic about Racism once and for all? Read details.?
Hear me out before the harsh criticisms... I am a mulatto in the armed forces. I crack silly jokes with my white and black friends. That doesn't make me a racist. I have friends that are racist and because I've been friends with them a long time does not make me racist. I don't have to share the same views with my boys. Now i understand that Obama sat in the pews for 20 yrs and I blame him for staying that long, but like every other Christian, we may not agree with our pastors but we like certain things about our church. I am not trying to defend Obama, but I would like someone to explain to me(with substantial evidence) how Obama is Racist????? Please, be calm, fair and honest in your response..
References other that Rev wright and Typical white people will be appreciated.
NB: Obama never said White people cling to their guns and religion..... He said THEY cling to their guns(rural people)

McCain said the racial slur go-ok. Why are the McCain supporters overlooking that?
Oh wow at the McCain supporters foaming at the mouth over Obama's comments. Those are Obama's real life experiences and thoughts! He was subjected to racism and hatred because of the color of his skin, and that is how he responded. I am a minority and have been subjected to racism and if I were to write a book, I would say the same things, and like Obama I do not hate white people. People fail to recognize that with racism comes consequences. I think they would all love of us to welcome white superiority and not say a damn thing because it would be racist.

His books might as well be titled: "Racism and me, why they are the same thing"
As far as his preacher is concerned - writing it off as a bad decision does not change the fact that he has had a 20 year relationship listening to the hate that the man preaches. Have you seen the videos? Every time the man makes an anti-American or racist statement people run up to pat him on the back and jump up and down clapping and screaming.
Oh, by the way, Oprah is a member this wonderful "church" as well

I cannot listen to Rev. Wright for 10 seconds without physically getting sick at my stomach. I have heard way more than I needed too. You cannot listen to him for 20 years and not have the same views, You change Church's. This is not typical stuff you here in Church. People start new Church's cause they don't like something this Pastor says, so I don't buy it. I have been going to Church all my life, I am 46. I have lived in Ms, Ar, Mo, and Arizona I have been to all kinds of Church's, NOPE still don't buy it. I don't blame him for staying, he liked it. Its America, but the views this Church has is not the views I want my President to have or anyone else I know for that matter. Its scary.

We don't always agree with our pastors. That is correct. But when your pastor preaches such hate every week, and you sit there for 20 years and listen to it, it means you obviously agree. You cannot convince me that there is not a black Christian church in Chicago (and this is about God and religion, why do you have to see out a "black" church) that does not preach such anti-American and racist hate.
Another point - you say "we don't always agree with our preacher" - uhhhhh have you seen videos of those sermons?? Those people who sit there every week and listen to that hate jump up, scream, holler, clap their hands and dance when Rev Wright says the most appalling things.

the only element it does is makes me extra conscious that there are nonetheless ppl with that form of thinking or sentiment in direction of others. as quickly as I step far flung from the laptop I depart all of those comments and questions alongside with it. In my on a daily basis existence I work together with many form of ppl and somewhat have not had that many undesirable studies so I easily won't enable what some trolls and hello even according to hazard some legitimate ppl who happen to have racist perspectives paint all the different ppl of their race or group interior the comparable stroke. yet like I mentioned it makes me extra conscious or warn you're able to say
