Well .. the veneer has been penetrated, hasn't it? So much for the exalted "trans-racial" election. Looks like its more of the same old same old.

With a few days under out belt, Obama's sermon from the mount – his speech on race – was little more than an eloquent rewrite of so many speeches and rants we've heard in the past ... look at the speech again and a nuanced reading will show you that Obama was laying the blame for Jeremiah Wright squarely at the feet of white people. Wright, in Obama's eyes, is merely a response – if a rather harsh one – to the crimes of white America.

So now we see the real Barack Obama. Whatever is wrong with black America can be traced back to the actions of whites.

Then we have Michelle Obama's Princeton Thesis. The Obama campaign tried to hide it for a while --- but when the media got wind of the fact that access to the thesis had been shut off by Obama, the ploy was over. The thesis is 95 pages long ... and we haven't gone through it yet ... but an initial glance shows once again that whatever problems faced by black American are traceable to --- you guessed it – whites. Now I've read a synopsis which says that our possible future First Lady wrote that America was founded on "crime and hatred" and that whites are "ineradicably racist." I want to see those words for myself in the thesis .. but they do sound like they could come from someone who was never proud of her country until her husband saw success in his race for the presidency. Now I don't know about you, but I would not like the idea of a First Lady who says that America was founded on "crime and hatred." * We have combed through the entire thesis ... twice ... and we are still unable to verify these statements. If you have any insight, please let the Talkmaster know.

I have a thought about Barrack's membership in Chicago's Trinity United Church of (Hate) Christ. As I understand it, Obama joined this church just about the time he was ginning up a political career. Perhaps Obama thought himself too white. Raised in large part by a white couple (his grandparents), attending prestigious private schools – then Harvard, the Harvard law review – and all of that white stuff. Maybe he felt he needed to shore up his black credentials – get a little street cred --- so off we go to join the dominant black church. I suspect that Obama was searching for black votes at this church more than he was searching for God. You can see why someone would search for votes in an atmosphere of hatred – but God?

It's been a helluva week ... the American people see Barack Obama a bit more clearly. They now see him as a man who can construct a bizarre moral equivalence between someone like Geraldine Ferraro and Jeremiah Wright .. someone who suggests that Obama's race has been a help in the campaign, and someone who shouts "God **** America" from the pulpit and blames white America for AIDS. In all of this many don't see a man deserving of the Oval Office

YOU KNOW WHAT THE AFRO AMERICANS FAIL TO RESPOND TO IS THAT IN WEST AFRICA WHERE THEY COME FROM, THEIR ANCESTERS SOLD THEM TO WHITE TRADERS FOR RUM ,THEY COULD'NT DEAL WITH THEM BECAUSE OF THEIR VOODOO ALLNIGHT RANTS AND THEY WUOLD'NT WORK, NOW I GOT THIS STRAIGHT FROM HISTORY BOOKS ALONG WITH THE FACT THAT ABRAHAM LINCOLN EMANCIPATED BLACKS TO SEND THEM BACK TO AFRICA FOR THEIR OWN GOOD[SAFETY]BUT THEY WILL NOT LET THAT OUT TODAY ,THAT WAS PUBLISHEED IN THE 30'S. MAYBE SOMEONE WILL EXPLAIN THE ''MELTING POT''.

I don`t like Obama`s ideas for this country and I believe he cannot be trusted. Personally, his color has nothing to do with it. But, since you mentioned it...Lincoln did not want to free the slaves...you`ll never read THAT in history books either.

hey ,no doubt ,diversity is knowledge,but i feel he's a spy for the iranian president matmadinijhad or whoever ,i trace him to wright ......to farrakhan ....all the way to iran ,a chain of command conspiracy against this country and sure he wants to 'pull out'' so he can ambush our troops on the way home go after israel and he'll jumpship before it gets bad here he'll be on the beach in the virgin islands if they attack again[GOD FORBID.] and i never knew that about lincoln thanx,obama is not the ant-christ,but i can see in his face he's not for the AMERICAN way of life. ANY BODY WHO WOULD USE THEIR GRANDMOTHER as an example of negativity is a s.o.b.

there can't be an excuse for any kind of slavery,and it's not even better to abuse ignorance and greediness for an unjust cause..we have to reconsider why Africa became what it is now..

i agree ,mosses freed the jews from egypt,because GOD saw this was evil [i assume],WE SHOULD NOT HAVE BARGINED ANYTHING ,OR ANY ONE FOR A PRICE .those white traders were just as wrong as the west african people who traded them for rum .thats disgusting.

As they say, two wrongs don`t make a right.

amen.
