Zedd...as usual you are not makling any sense. I hope you are proud of your efforts to maintain an underclass of government program dependent minorities. JOM

JOM Your comments have nothing to do with my posts. I think you are still wedged in the 70's or perhaps early 80's, anyway, somewhere in the "distant" past. You are couched in the political rhetoric of, I believe, the Regan era. It worked for him and he got elected. Why you are still hanging on to it is odd. The man is dead, he go the power he needed by spreading that myth and to some degree, the self fulfilling prophesy. Let it go and find out what your world is like. It doesn't look like you are paying attention to your surroundings or care too much to evaluate the reality in your country. It doesn't seem as if you are knowledgeable at all about a large portion of modern day society. Its odd that you don't even see the necessity to do so. Perhaps its too painful to be educated about the real world. It looks like you simply want to retain a certain status (delusional as it may be). Understandably, one would want to maintain a position which they attained simply because they are. I would be tempted to whine, finger point and reverse charges of victim-hood, in order to retain the status that I was accustomed to, as well. It is interesting how a lack of awareness about European society and all that is important to the descendants of Europe is considered to be a sign of intelligence and astuteness but an abysmal ignorance about the vast expanse of which is everything else is seen as understandable. A finger wag is administered to those who don't know about everything about you. Yet you know so little about others and what you know is so embarrassingly wrong. But what is really strange is that you don't care that it is so off because you deem that knowledge to be less important. You deem the people that the knowledge is about to be less worthwhile, so your stupidity doesn't really count as stupidity. That in itself makes my world an oddball place to be because your attitude is multiplied by millions, including those who make important decisions about my livelihood and the future of my children and MY planet. Hope that helps.

Zedd 104 Proof that there are those in this country who are geneticallay and metally predesposed to remain in squaler and poverty. Anyone who raisies their children to believe that they are victims of "da big bad white master" who wants to "keep the brother down" deserves to remain the emproverished underclass. Obama played the race and victim cards today..pretty pathetic. Especially for a guy born into a rich family, attended private schools, partner in a law firm and became a US Senator. Oh I did forget his (Black) father did abandon him...Gee I can really feel his pain... "African Americans have maintained relative composure in the midst of everything that has taken place in this country" Oh yes they have so I guess you define composure as having the highest incarceration rates, highest crime rates, highest unemployment rates, highest percentage of children born out of wedlock, lowest high school graduation rate,etc, etc.. Zedd stop blaming Whitey and exercise some personal resposibility..."God helps those who help themselves" I guess they use that line in Black Churches eh.... Obama - living proof that affirmative action doesnt work.. JOM "Preaching from my pulpit"

Or, at this moment, in this election, we can come together and say, "Not this time." How? By voting for me of course. Way to guilt trip white voters into voting for him. And I still can't get over how he sold out his grandmother. What an opportunisitic back stabber. Only people this speech works on is the people who are already his followers - blacks and white liberals. No one else is going to take away anything from this. And this does not put his racist pastor controversy to rest. Expect to see his poll numbers drop.

"If you ever wonder why it is that African Americans have maintained relative composure in the midst of everything that has taken place in this country, it is because they have had outlets where their pain and frustration has been legitimized, where their twilight zone experience is deemed what it is, a madness and an abomination." Quoted for Truth

JOM I think you truly miss some basic things that are a part of your world. To you Liberation Theology is this astonishing phenomenon that you just heard about a couple of days ago. Black or Liberation Theology is what kept and keeps millions sane in this pear shaped world that we live in. It supports biblical teachings that what we witness in our everyday lives is ungodly and against Gods word. It clearly, boldly and unequivocally states that the wrong in our culture is WRONG. Its not about YOU or about politics. It simply states what is true about our world, unvarnished by the greed which sustains racism and class-ism. It says that God hates the racist, greedy and opportunistic climate that our world has come to accept as normal. It teaches us to love and to live up to God's principles REGARDLESS because we are subject to His laws. Know that these teachings have been around for quite sometime and your lack of knowledge about them says more about your lack of engagement in your world than anything. Your seemingly shocked reaction at Wright's sermon says that you don't know your world. Probably because you think that what your culture has to offer is right and perfect (for everyone). If you ever wonder why it is that African Americans have maintained relative composure in the midst of everything that has taken place in this country, it is because they have had outlets where their pain and frustration has been legitimized, where their twilight zone experience is deemed what it is, a madness and an abomination. Your naive experience forbids you to see the relevance of Wright's message or feel compassion for those who need to hear it. Be grateful. You will go on blathering in your ignorance, mocking and whining because you have come to assume that what you don't know is not worth knowing. That you as a White male came to this world knowing more than what any Black man could possibly know or need to know. Your warped mindset keeps you in darkness and ignorance, only you don't see it as such because you deem what none Whites know to be irrelevant. Never mind commenting. I'm right.

I mean why don't they also do a speech on race relations. Why is there never a news cycle about lawsuits and blacks who can't get home loans? The list goes on. H

Obama wrote the speech himself. Whomever said he did not was wrong. Why shouldn't he? He's a writer after all. Heloise

"How do you spell...hypocrit?" The same way you spell most other words, Anon, incorrectly. Or is it "Anthony"?

Obama even sold out his own grandmother for votes in the speech today. I doubt his grandmother ever said the blacks gave a fatal disease to whites to kill them. It was pathetic pandering to white liberals and blacks. People on msnbc were wetting themselves after the speech. Now he is the black candidate. Almost makes me feel sorry for him..almost.

Yay JOM! Your first working link! (Although you can actually change the 'My Web Page' bit to whatever you want.) (Except 'Dumbocrats' or any variation thereon.) Just one thing about your Imus story: which of Wright's utterances would you consider to be the equivalent of the term 'nappy-headed ho'?

Oh yes Obama the new fresh face...how can he defend his owm words now,,, "I understand MSNBC has suspended Mr. Imus," Obama told ABC News, "but I would also say that there's nobody on my staff who would still be working for me if they made a comment like that about anybody of any ethnic group. And I would hope that NBC ends up having that same attitude." Here is the linbMy Web Page How do you spell...hypocrit? JOM

Ruvy, Really not angry. BTW that is one of the jokes that we laugh about... Thinking that we are angry when we are no where near it. This dialogue is not THAT crucial Ruvy. There is a lot more stress in life....

My son just sent me an audio of his first sermon this Sunday in LA, where they just moved. He quotes some fire and brimstone stuff from the Bible. But he never uses racial verbage. And I don't dare 1) curse in his presence or dare 2) talk about other races in any sort of way that is not charitable. He is studying to be a minister in LA. He embodies what a Christian minister should be. He also grew up in radical Chicago and went astray, but we are as different as night and day. I am an equal opportunity abuser when it comes to race...LOL. Heloise

Zedd; Yes, I'm a white boy and won't pretend to know what racism is about. But I did get a taste of being a minority and discriminated against while in Hawaii (in the navy) in the early '70s. Would you believe me if I told you I was color-blind? - MCH

Zedd - the predominant power structures and majority here has been Hispanic for several centuries...I thought that we agreed a while ago that those were the requisites for racism

JOM Must be nice. You are really naive. You have no idea what racism is. You throw a fit over this. Wow, a grown man who knows so little about the world he lives in. I'm happy for you. Must be nice.
