Could Obama be a racist

I wish that the Republican in every state left would go and vote in the Democrat primary, if they could. I must say as a proud Conservative Republican that I would rather have Clinton than Obama. Clinton has said stuff that I disagree with completely, but what Obama and his supporters have said are just unconscionable.

You are right Soccermom, Obama can't be held accountable for everything that comes out of his pastors mouth but what he can be held accountable for and should very well be is his long time association with this man! It's like the little boy crying wolf and then going back and playing with the wolves! He can also be held accountable for his own words; calling this obvious racist a "moral leader" is just another example of the kind of leadership Obama brings to the table! $20 thousand to the church or pastor lets split hairs shall we! He gave it to the church but the church as a whole agrees with this pastor or they would fire him! A church can do a great deal of good in a community and still be racist!

Actually Obama DID solicit Reverend Wright to be part of his campaign. He wanted Wright to introduce him when he made speeches. It was on the advise of his campaign manager that he decided not to. I disagree with your comments about parents being held responsible for what their children say. Children don't choose their parents and parents don't choose their children. Obama chooses to go to this man's church. He chooses to give money to that church. He chooses to attend and cheer for this man's racists speeches. I wouldn't choose to associate with anyone who spoke in such a manager and I think it shows questionable character to be associated so closely with someone like that.

his church targets and only helps black families or causes.his church gave louis farrakan an award,if they helped a white family it was only token.his church by its own admission is a racist organization

Exactly, that is what I am saying. I cannot understand why someone who hates this country, and everything that this country stands for want to be the leader of that country. The Obamas are wealth people, they could live this country, and live a good live in a country of their choosing.

How can Obama make this country more democratic when he already agreed to disenfranchise voters in Michigan and Florida? Not exactly a champion of democracy if he wants to take away voting rights from people.

he must be, i am amused.

your joking right??

..it will be very ironic if Rev Wright, so on fire for the rights and opportunities for black citizens, is 'responsible' for the delay of a first black president..

True, it doesn't even have to count any. ANd it's true as well that I'm not really following it in any specific details. I might later but I"m not right now. But my answer was also in general. It sounds to me a lot like what happens in all political campaigns: FInd the dirt. Facts can be distorted in any way people want to make then look better or worse. That's common practice. I'm afraid that the way it works is: the ones that are open minded well informed and impartial are a minority. The ones that will follow anything that is told to them are often the majority. Alarmists know that and use it well. Campaign analysts, builders and all the psyche masters, do the same, why wouldn't they? It works. Is it true? Or a distortion of the truth ? It's up to you to find out,if you're interested. I just gave a general answer of real facts as well - what happens in political campaigns. I sure can be wrong. Or I can be right .

This is true. There is video tape of Obama's pastor making these statements. Obama himself has claimed this man is his moral leader. These are undisputed facts. Calling Obama the antichrist is just some made up garbage. What we are dealing with here are clearly proven and acknowledged facts.

these are not rumors,they are facts.if you hardly follow whats going on your oppinion counts but doesnt carry to much weight.someone who is silent can be mistaken for wise

geraldine ferrarro did not call Obama a racist. Please get your facts straight. She made a comment and the Obama camp called the race card on the comment. The things that Rev. Wright say are anti-American and I feel very much racist.

geraldine ferraro was right too,obama hussein would not be in the position he is in nor getting the media coverage he is getting were it not for his claim to blackness(he doesnt really claim his white half)hmm lets see "hides his middle name" , "seems to neglet his being half white",goes to an openly racist and anti-american churh","wants to make a deal with iran"and he is a socialist,yep i think he will fit right in, in washington

Such a cryptic view of American politics, and yet, I'm sorry to say, has a ring of truth to it.

Ok, so did you just make all that up? Historically black people have liked Clinton. 88% of black voters voted for Bill Clinton against Bob Dole. That's a pretty overwhelming majority. What has Clinton done that you feel you should call her a racist? I have seen ZERO evidence of that. I don't like Hillary, I just don't believe in throwing around baseless accusations. Rich whites work at Target? Are you kidding me? I don't know a single rich anything working as a cashier at Target. I mean, they aren't a bad employer, but their employees aren't rich either. I've seen a proportionate amount of every race working at Target. There is no reason to accuse them of racial discrimination in their hiring process. You say other large stores as well. Have you been to a Walmart lately? Most Walmarts I've been to have more black employees than white. That's been my experience. I've had plenty of black and white friends working construction jobs. It may be hard labor, but they get paid well. Some construction workers START at $25 an hour. It's not easy work, but they aren't going home poor. In fact, they are much wealthier than those people working at Target. Obama didn't go through hell and even if he did, that doesn't qualify him to be a president. If he were truly suffering from some sort of financial hardship, he would have never had the money to run for public office in the first place.I really think you are just making all this garbage up without taking 5 minutes to actually obtain any factual information.

did you forget this is America..the land of the free...freedom of choice...freedom of speach...freedome to live as you wish. people make choices about how they live their life....not the government. if a person doesnt finish high school because he or she engages in crime or whatever it may be it is not the governments fault, it is the individual who chose to live the life of crime and not finish school. the president is not going to make people stop committing crimes. He is not going to provide more opportunity for black people. hello black people, white people, asian people, hispanic people already have opportunity!!!! CHOOSE TO USE IT AND THEN MAYBE THE SUFFRAGE THEY CLAIM WILL GO AWAY!!

i just don't see a leader who will be able to have that power to do that. but i think the idea that Obama is racist is not ture.
