Time for Obama to Disown Racist Pastor
Mar 13, 2008 Political
And it is time for him to start apologizing for what that preacher has said.
Geraldine Ferraro stepped down as an unpaid adviser to Hillary Rodham Clinton after statements she [Ferraro] made about Barack Hussein Obama. Ferraro was absolutely correct when she said that if Obama was a white guy he would not be giving Hillary a challenge. If he was a white guy or another woman Hillary Rodham Clinton would be getting the bulk of the black vote. As it stands right now Obama is getting about 90% of that vote and he is getting it, for the most part, because he is black. Ferraro mentioned that she was selected as a VP candidate because she is a woman but failed to mention that Clinton would not be where she is if she was not married to Bill Clinton. Despite what her supporters say, it is an undeniable truth.
Obama does not want to play the race game, or so he indicates when he says issues, not race will prevail. For her part, Clinton had to jump in and apologize as if she had done something wrong or as if what was said was racist or wrong. The fact is, it was the truth and apologizing makes Hillary appear weak. Hell, when Ferraro stepped down it gave the appearance that she said something wrong and she did not. But when will Obama really remove race from the equation?
When will Obama apologize for the racist things his preacher, Jeremiah Wright, says? Wright has blamed white people (and black Republicans) for all the woes in the black community. Wright has called America the US of KKK and he has stated:
“The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing ‘God Bless America.’ No, no, no, God damn America, that’s in the Bible for killing innocent people,”
His contention is that the government targets black people and they are the victim of a plot to get the poor brothers. Wright is a racist pig and Obama needs to quit that church and sever all ties with him. If Obama wants the issues and not race to prevail then Obama needs to remove his own racists from the equation. Otherwise he is proving what we evil whites have known all along. Blacks get away with racism all the time but the slightest hint of racism from a white brings the wrath of the race baiters down. It seems to me that if Wright paid attention he would know that it is buffoons like him who hurt the black community by continuing to encourage them to suckle at the teat of the Democrats who will provide everything for the poor blacks who are supposedly not able to do for themselves. When you espouse dependency then you are admitting you are inferior to those who are not dependent and you become subservient to those who provide. People like Wright ensure that blacks remain enslaved. They removed the cotton fields but not the shackles.
Obama was married in that church and he has listened to Wright for 20 years. He must agree with what Wright says or he would have left the church. Surely if he and his peeps think that Clinton staff should step down for making what they perceive as racist remarks then Obama needs to leave his church and sever ties over what we absolutely know to be racist remarks from his pastor.
I can only assume that Barack Hussein Obama agrees with the message coming from that church and its racist leaders since he has stayed there for 20 years. Obama is a bright man and knows what is being said. Even an idiot would know what kind of message comes from that so called House of God and since Obama stays there he must like what he hears.
I want to know when the Obama followers are going to demand this of their prophet. I want to know when they are going to demand the same things they demand of his opponent.

Ferraro Dreams; If Only Obama Were White
Mar 11, 2008 Political
Former VP candidate and Hillary backer Geraldine Ferraro has thrown down the race card with regard to Barack Obama. In this high stakes game of political poker Ferraro threw down the Ace of Spades by stating that if Obama were not black he would not be where he is.
“If Obama was a white man, he would not be in this position. And if he was a woman (of any color) he would not be in this position. He happens to be very lucky to be who he is. And the country is caught up in the concept.”
I do not disagree with her because if Obama were a white man he would not be drawing 85% of the black vote. Hillary would be getting it as the wife of the first black president. Most black people are voting for him for two reasons, he is black and he is a Democrat.
I will take Ferraro’s statement further and say that if Obama were a black Republican he would not be getting the votes that he is. he would have been out of this race a long time ago having been shunned by the black community as an Uncle Tom. The Democrats have so thoroughly put a strangle hold on the black community that they will not vote Republican unless Obama gets screwed by his party and the nomination goes to Hillary. Ms. Ferraro made a valid point but she was too narrow in her focus. His being black is only part of the equation but his being a Democrat is the other part. Blacks support him for those two reasons. God knows it is not because he actually says anything of substance. Amazingly, if whites voted for someone solely because he was white they would be labeled racists.
Now I want to turn Ferraro’s words inward. Hillary Clinton would not be where she is if she were a man. She would not be where she is if it were not for the fact that she is married to a former president. Clinton was elected to the Senate by an electorate that felt sorry for her because her husband cheated on her. She had no qualifications for the job. He life has been spent as a First Lady of one sort or another and she has had NO leadership experience in the real world.
She was elected because of her last name and she was the heir apparent because of her last name and for no other reason. People figured that if she were elected it would be a back door third term for Bubba and the prospect of him back in the White House excited people (except for parents of young interns). Hillary has no major accomplishments, she has a thin resume, and she was a carpetbagger in New York.
Yes, Ms. Ferraro is correct that Obama would not be where he is if he were white but Hillary would not be where she is if it were not for her last name. If Bill Clinton had never been elected to the presidency she would never have been elected to the Senate and she would not have been seen as a viable candidate for the White House.
