What's with the "will" - he already has and has had his good friend and self-confessed "spiritual advisor" doing his best to divide the races as well.
Oh and BTW, for y'all who didn't hear it, the Racist Rev said, twice, that he's Obama's Pastor. Maybe the Racist Rev forgot he's retired? Or maybe he's telling the truth.

Temporarily, yes.
But since the bad craziness will eventually die when exposed to the light, in the long term, race relations will improve.
Admit it... most of us had no idea how widespread these ugly beliefs are in the black community, and these ideas need to fade into extinction in order for any real healing to happen. The more they come out now, the sooner they can be demolished.

This guy Wright is like the gift that just keeps on giving. I almost threw up in my mouth when listening to some of his blather this morning. But whatever, the more he keeps on talking, the more and more likely it is that rational America will wake up to this nonsense and not allow it to ascend the highest office in the land.
I also find it interesting some in the media are speculating that Wright is doing what he is doing so that if Obama does lose, he'll be able to prove some point about how America really is racist. Which to me is just as nuts as the man himself.

Younger people might not be aware, but there was a time, back in the early nineties, that feminist principles like opposition to sexual harassment in the workplace (including consensual sexual relations between people of widely disparate power relations) were viewed with opprobrium, and even made subject to civil law suits.

But Mr. Obama? No way. Why? Because he's a Socialist in the vein of Marxism.
Am I sick of Leftists telling me I'm a racist because I don't support their Socialism which supposedly is color blind? Yes. Yes, I am.
Am I sick of some black people who are outright racist? Hell yes I am.
Give me a black person, in public office, that is pro-America, pro-commerce, pro-defense, and isn't a racist and I'll vote for him or her ANY time. Period. It's about values. It has nothing to do with the color of my skin. Shame of "Progressives" for using race as a vehicle to push their Socialis agenda.

Wright to Obama: 'Coming after you'
The Rev. Jeremiah Wright said Monday that he will try to chance national policy by “coming after” Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) if he is elected president.
The pastor also insisted Obama “didn’t denounce” him and “didn’t distance himself” from Wright’s controversial remarks, but “did what politicians do.”
Wright implied Obama still agrees with him by saying: “He had to distance himself, because he's a politician, from what the media was saying I had said, which was [portrayed as] anti-American.”
Wright, who was Obama’s pastor for 20 years and performed his wedding, made the explosive comment during a chaotic question-and-answer session at the National Press Club in Washington, following the pastor’s remarks about the black church in America.
“I said to Barack Obama last year, ‘If you get elected, November the 5th I'm coming after you, because you'll be representing a government whose policies grind under people,’ Wright said.

In the short term, yes.
In the longer term, though, it is the best thing that could happen. Americans of all races will clearly realize that Obama and his candidacy are the result of a condescending double-standard enforced by the liberal establishment and its corporate propaganda arm, the mainstream media. If a fellow beneficiary of tokenism like Geraldine Ferraro can see it, it's a sure thing normal people can.
The result will be an erosion of the double-standard and an end to tokenism. It will be the Second Emancipation: Millions of black Americans will move off the liberal plantation and finally take their rightful place as full participants in American society.

I believe "race" relations have been set back not only between whites and blacks...but between other minorities as well. You can't have Obama's followers endorsing virulent antisemites, having one as his pastor, etc., and not think that Obama doesn't share these views (during the Press Club meeting, Wright went on and on about his friendship/admiration for, etc., Louis Farrakhan...a virulent and avowed antisemite.)

There's a Catholic prayer, kinda like the benediction prayers, that includes the word opprobrium. I've only heard it prayed at the conclusion of pro-life Masses, usually after a procession to an abortion mill. The line goes something like, "Jesus Christ, loaded down with opprobrium".

There are fair certain number of bad, crazy ideas circulating in many black communities. (e.g. Farrakhan's rants about "Jew doctors inject AIDS into black babies," five percenters; assertions that black people cannot be racist; Afrocentrist assertions that ancient black Egyptians invented airplanes, etc.). And, until recently, it's been all but off limits to point out the badness or craziness of any of it.
But, it's hard to see how it's in anyone's interest that bad, crazy ideas should be shielded from the harsh light of criticism. Or to understand how hiding these things from the light of day is going to enhance race relations.
Is it the author's opinion that shielding black racists from criticism somehow improves race relations?

re: #52 stevieray True, true. BTW on your earlier post you said something to the effect that most of us (i.e., non-Black Americans) had no idea how deeply this hatred from Black America runs until the Racist Rev came along.
I agree with that in part and disagree in part. I agree insofar as the Racist Rev and his ilk (i.e., Jeremiah Wright and the Nation Of Islam) are concerned, but simply don't beleive that they are repesentative of the feelings of all or even a majority of most Black Americans.
And, regardless, we're not having reasonably intelligent conversations with Black Americans over Race Relations in this nation. We are being preached, and screamed at by a bunch of hateful newly rich folks, who NEED to keep preaching and screaming to stay rich.
And, so long as the Racist Reve believes that the US brought the 9/11 attacks on itself, that "dialogue" such as it is, isn't going anywhere.

Jeremiah Wright's motives in this seem to have nothing to do with Obama at this point. For him, it's all about Jeremiah Wright.
He laid low for a while, and avoided public comment, but apparently it suddenly dawned on him that this was the chance he had always been hoping for to get attention for himself with his endless drivel against White America and his claims of victimhood. It must have been beyond his wildest dreams to ever be standing before that huge gathering at the NAACP, equating his claimed victimhood with the crucifixion of Jesus, and getting a standing ovation for it - from whites as well as everyone else.
And even some of his worst detractors in the news media were offering excuses for him based on victimology - that he felt unfairly treated and was just trying to have his say. The truth is that this was an opportunity for him too good to pass up.
We have another Al Sharpton on the loose.

re: #62 Kosh's Shadow
The way the MSM was fawning over Obama, we never would have seen the giant bear traps in the trail if it weren't for bloggers.
Personally, I saw that something was up when I first read a transcript of one of Ears's speeches. Lot of words, no substance. I first put it down to the man being an empty suit. But then I learned of the private high school, and the Harvard Law School. You don't have a history like that without having some intelligence (wisdom is a different matter, of course...). This implied that Ears had something to hide. And then the bits that peeked through during the unscripted moments, well, those were just good old-fashioned nightmare fuel.
I'd call the words about popcorn for the Democratic Party convention, whistling as one walks past the graveyard. If this commie is elected, we may have to replace "we survived Carter" with "we survived Obama" when we talk about how things could be worse.

Koskid: How Rev. Wright Brought Me to God
Had I been raised in the TUCC tradition, a Black Church experience exemplified by Jeremiah Wright, I might well have been a Christian.
If this represents "elitism", if this represents the experience of Barack Obama, then he should never "disavow" this brilliant man who led him to his religion.
The questions Wright raises, the history he uncovers, the religion he represents will only be offensive to the narrow, cold, practitioners of European Colonial theology.

Actually, the idea that there's a "problem" between the relationship between blacks and whites is utter Bullshit.
The only problem that exists is some race-hustling povery pimps, such as Wright, Jackson, Sharpton, Farrakhan, etc., need to keep perpetuating that myth to retain what little influence they have, so they whip up the masses of blacks who have screwed up their lives by making poor choices, and telling them over and over from the pulpit and other places, that it's not their fault.
It's the fault of the mean ol' USA, and of course, us bitter gun-toting, bible-reading typical white people who are holding them down and shutting them out of the American dream.
Until they start making better decisions, such as deciding that getting an education isn't "acting white", and that having kids out of wed-lock at about an 80% rate is the quickest way to a lifetime of misery, poverty and welfare, and that getting a job, any job, is the only way to better yourself, they'll be perpetually dependent upon people who do not have what's best for them, but rather only look to hold on to their power by telling them over and over that they're victims of racism.
They are victims, but not of us typical white people, but of their own bad choices and by listening to people who do not want them to better themselves and realize that the American dream is there for EVERYONE, not just white people.
Once the majority of black Americans realize that it's their so-called "leaders" that have sold them a bill of goods for the last 4+ decades that has kept them miserable, they'll be able to start to fix their problems that they, and no one else, caused.
Unfortunately, we're probably years away from that happening.

No. He already has set back race relations, which is a pretty extraordinary thing to do considering his bi-racial bono fides, which is probably the only thing about him that has been checked. He threw his white grandmother (who raised him) under the bus, while his bestseller was about the dreams of his black African communist father who abandoned him. Obama, by virtue of being an unvetted Democrat candidate for President of the United States, has given credibility to this racist Black Liberation ideology in just by his years of attendance listening to such drivel expounded upon by Wright, much less his paying for it through donations.

Obama's circle has done quite a job of acquiring the street cred.
If folks don't remember early on, he did not have any market share of the black vote.
I think as quickly as it has come to him, as quickly it can go.
If we are measuring what can happen, the simple fact that he, his wife, and his little girls are sitting inside that church, listening to this on a weekly basis tells me the problem is here, it is not one sided, and we all have our heads in the sand.

re: #110 wolfie I never said I wanted a dialog with the Racist Rev and if you've read ANY of my many comments about white fascists you'd know I don't want any "dialog" with them, either.
I would like a calm, as rational as possible, discussion with Black Americans of the non-politician, non-Race Hustler types to try to understand what they feel, and believe, about the United States.
We've never had that, certainly not as a nation and, IMO, rarely in one-on-one discussions. But I do think it would help BOTH Black Americans and White Americans understand each other much better.
Whether or not such understanding would work to a better United States I'm not sure, but I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to have it.
As for the Racist Rev (Wright), Sharpton, Jackson, et.al. (the "Race Hustlers") I have NOTHING to discuss with them and need not hear any more from them; without racial acrimony they are out of a job.

Race relations in America have been set back 50 years by this jive talking signifying playground hustler preacher Wright and his (his churches?) sock puppet candidate, Barack Hussein Obama . It only remains to be seen if "there will be blood". The only amusing thing about the whole situation is watching the Dem pundits trying to polish a fart in the middle of a shitstorm.

#22 Stevieray
I learned how widespread those beliefs were in the black community as a college freshman in 1986, where I heard my black roommate and her friends REGULARLY refer to each other as "n*****" (and that word was for friends as well as foes), and to fellow blacks they did not like as "ashy," "nappy" and "bluegum."
When I asked her why they would call each other n*****, when my mother would have washed my mouth out with soap had I spoken the word, she told me (in no uncertain terms) that they could call each other anything they wanted. But I couldn't.
I learned then (at 17) that despite my guilt-ridden, white suburban upbringing that taught that white people are the oppressors of everyone, and that butter would not melt in the mouth of the poor, put-upon oppressed around the globe, that there is absolutely, positively a double standard. The oppressed can say whatever they want about each other, about other oppressed people, and about white people. I think a lot of white support for Obama comes from people who had a similar education to mine - people who have been taught to think that white people are bad and that black people are entitled to be angry. I have a hard time expressing what I'm trying to say, but it's almost like guilt-ridden liberal white people give black people a pass out of patronizing them, thinking that the white people know better, so they can't be racists, but black people are either simpletons or babies who can't possibly be held accountable for their feelings.

Compare Wright to Martin Luther King Jr. Wright is a rambling loose cannon, whereas Dr King was exacting and dignified in his speech. Wright insinuates disrespect for whites, whereas Dr King treated people with the common decency they earned as people of good will, no matter who they were.
Go back and read MLK's "Letter from Birmingham Jail" as a corrective to Wright's bomb-throwing over the past few days. In the "Letter," Dr. King addressed 8 white Christian ministers who objected that he was organizing protests "too soon" against Birmingham's failure to act in either striking down ordinances allowing separate/unequal treatment of blacks, or in creating new ordinances that disallowed such treatment.
Dr. King addressed the 8 white ministers respectfully, as Christian brothers first, then proceeded quite patiently, precisely, and compellingly to show them how they were wrong. He showed that he was truly interested in the power both of peace and of logical persuasion.
Oh how far we have regressed from that approach today, if Wright is in any way now held up as some kind of modern exemplar.
"I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."

And as if, according to some, the USA had no real external enemies, nor internal ones, except for our own duly elected government, capitalism, Jews, carbon emissions, and melanin-challenged people.
It is imperative that we carefully consider Obama's expressed sentiments and those of his supporters in such issues.
