Just like the racist stuff from Falwell, Robertson, Dobson, Parsley. I grew up in the south-raised in the Southern Baptist church..I heard equal vitriol and racist comments. Was warned not to befriend those 'over the tracks' but saw the very same people raise thousands of dollars to bring a Black family to the city--BECAUSE THEY HAD FOUR VERY WONDERFUL FOOTBALL PLAYER SONS... Six years later after 2 State championships-- they called my father because I, a white woman, was having a cup of coffee with one of those young men that took the town to State. Dad was mayor at the time and came storming into the little coffee shop - stopped in his tracks and stood to re-introduce this man to a very racist and forgetful patronage.
Another short story from last summer--I was gifted with a much needed girls weekend in the mountains. THis conference was transportation oriented and we had a diverse group of professionals from across the World. There were four of us. Two white and two black--all with businesses and advanced degrees. We decided to make a side trip to a local rodeo because it was a new experience for two of the women. It was a clear night and the crowd was robust, familiar and mostly white. After about 40 minutes, I noted that one of my friends was increasingly agitated. She wanted to leave and pushed to do so urgently. I never realized that she, as a black woman, was more than a little upset about being in that crowd. Later my other black friend told me that it was a racist thing with her..BUT SURPRISE --SHE was married to a White man! Those are just two of the things I have seen in my 60+years as a female professional in these United States. It is there on both sides and it is time we deal with it. OBAMA _AS THE STATESMAN_ CAN begin again to help us through as did Bobby Kennedy and MLK. Obama is a leap of faith and I do wonder if we are up to the challenge. Her was honest- forthright-and will be nitpiked to death by the pundits who need to perpetuate this for ratings. SHAME ON US....
We must not let the bigots continues their to control us.

The larger question is why someone, no matter what color, has to fear walking in minority neirgborhoods. According to Barack and company, it's whitey's fault. After all, he said as much in his "speech" this morning. He blamed whitey for racism, poor blacks, ghettos, poor education, black men in prison,etc. Never did he say that it was the fault of fatherless families, drugs, or crime of all sorts. Never did he apologize for his "minister" saying, "God Damn America". Never did he admit to the great and wonderful accomplishments of people of all colors in America. Yes, we must "fear" walking in certain neighborhoods. But until people like Barack, Michelle and the ones who have brainwashed them admit the truth,and stop blaming "whitey", the fear will grow, not lessen.

NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal"

How do you think Obama's grandmother feels about being thrown under the bus? He is starting to act like a Clinton, DO WHATEVER IT TAKES TO ATTAIN POWER"

Wonder what that phone call will be like...

Obama "Hello, grandma...how are you..."

Matthews never seems to disappoint ...

Do you, as I do, feel as though you are in a scene from the movie "Mars Attacks" with these MSM Obama Pollyannas ?

When you men get home and face an anti-war protestor, look him in the eyes and shake his hand. Then, wink at his girlfriend because she knows she’s dating a pussy… ~ Attributed to General Tommy Franks

Maybe it should be read to first graders---that's about the level of thinking it takes to understand it. "Whitey bad, whitey mean" "Poor blacks can do no wrong"

NEVER,NEVER trust a "liberal"

You don't find anything ironic/funny/significant about the fact that Jesse Jackson said something almost identical to the quote from Obama's white grandmother?

AD...

"Senator Obama gave a great speech today---one of the best by an American public figure in recent decades."

Are you sure you watched the same speech that we did? There was nothing profound that came out of his speech, unless you thought him outing his Granny was somehow earth shattering.

"Abstain from McCain"

With the Stats on who is killing Black men, which is overwhelmingly other black men, Jesse has cause to be alarmed.

Same with Single Women near College Campus's, as we have seen recently.  And if it was Guys from India Killing coeds, they would be accumulating the Same Reputation for murders of others. 

I thought that hypnotism only works on the highly-intelligent. Hmm. I guess there are exceptions for every rule.

I especially liked the parts where he equated his grandmother's alleged comments to those of his racist, hate spewing pastor of the last 20 years and when he pretty much contradicted everything he has been telling us for the past week or so. And the icing on the cake was when he slipped in a little Marxist ideology here and there.

A truly magical speech indeed.....

I do recall him taking flak over it, and perhaps he later "clarified" his remark. But he did say it.
