Obama leaves his church not because he denounces it's ways....

There is no way, that we can seperate Obama from the subject of race. He makes it an issue.

Rodney, you hit the nail on the button! You are so right....

Except this time it is a black community not seeing past the color of someone's skin! If the hundreds of people (and I don't know how many it could be thousands)who attend Trinity Church do not or did not agree with the teachings of the pastor(s) then why stay? I'll tell you why and the attitude goes something like this "It's time we made whitey pay for all the wrongs he has done to us"! Now, for the record, I want you and any other American, white or black to know, I have never ever owned a slave, my father never ever owned a slave, my grandfathers (neither side)never ever owned a slave, in fact, as far back as I can find I find no one in my immediate family or our predicessors ever owning a slave! I do not owe the black man or his creed one thing!! Am I sorry their forefathers suffered through this time? Of course! Is it a travesty how the black culture has been treated in this country for decades? Very much so, but, with every passing year it gets better and better for the black man/woman in this country and what it comes down to is which black man or woman is going to run with it and which ones will choose to live in the past! The ones who continue to think I or any other white person owes them something strictly because I am white is just as wrong as the slave holders of 150 years ago were and they will be enslaved forever by their own minds!

Unfortunately, Obama's church likes to mix religion and politics...along with hate. It's someeeee stew!

Sadly his church issues are not about religion, they are about racism. Nobody is faulting him for being a Christian, or being associated with a Christian pastor. It's about him being a member of an organization that preaches hatred towards people who are not black, and him calling a racist pastor his spiritual mentor.

"Watch the video of J. Wright. The pastor represented the church. Twenty years of bashing whites...that is what is meant by the the ways." I didn't just get off a spaceship from Mars so I've seen the video, certainly all I care to see of it. I don't see it as "bashing whites" either as a race or as individuals. He was talking about the U.S. Government. Maybe YOU should watch it, the whole thing, not just the 30 second sound-bites. "Good work?!!! Sheesh." It isn't considered "good work" if a church actually helps people in need? Sheesh! My mistake, I guess! "What you have heard is not true. Even the church website says it is a black church. 90% White? NO....what you have heard is not true." http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,1811069,00.html?imw=Y "Obama made race an issue. He said he was running as a black man not a white man. Why didn't he just run? NOOOOOOOOOO, I am running as a black man." Tell me where you heard or read that statement. Of course, he couldn't say he's running as a white man and since when is mentioning the fact that can't be ignored, that being that Obama is the first African American candidate to have a serious shot at the nomination "making race an issue"? "You are not informed. Where you get 90% white people in a black church is funny. Where are they? In the back washing dishes?!" Saying I "am not informed" is what's funny! How many political and news shows do you watch on a regular basis? How many magazines do you subscribe to? Reading e-mails containing propaganda does not qualify as being "informed", I'm sorry to inform you. Annie

You are right. There are other races who have experienced slavery. My grandmother (white) was treated like a slave from the time she was 4 years old until she ran away when she was 16 years old. She got through it and she did not look back. She worked hard. Most people do not know about this. Most people do not know that blacks are not the only race who have been slave. Why? Because most people who have gone through it have moved on. People who think like the people of Trinity United Church of Christ have not moved on. They are looking for payback. What I find interesting is that since they make it clear that this is a Black church, what was the white priest delivering his little message there for? The man is a Catholic Priest...white...and delivering a black racist message. I believe he must have been paid...

That is true. And his wife, Michelle, considers it to be a "a legitimate medical procedure." She asked supporters to give $150 to attend a luncheon to discuss ways to stop people from trying to abort this procedure. A $150 to discuss killing babies. That is terrible. Please spread the word as much as you can.

I agree. He couldn't care less about those people in his church. He appears to care about things and people who can further his career. He did not leave because he cares so much about the people in his church. He left because he needs to start looking better. What he forgets is that some of us can do the math. Being in that church for 20 years has inbedded a lot of hate in him. If he thought that church was such a bad place he would have left a long time ago.

Try to tell that to Braven below...
