		<description><![CDATA[Yes, slaves helped build the country but those African Americans are long gone. Today we do have many black people as well as white people who are lazy. I am not racist in no way to be correct I am mixed. I just really dislike when people bring slavery up because it has nothing to do with how lazy some black Americans are. Just because our ancestors built the country does not mean that black Americans are not lazy. It has been a long time since slavery so the way that black Americans are today in no way have a connection to the way black people were during slavery.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I peronally do not believe O&#039;bama will ever become president because of the powers to be and the vision that they foresaw in putting all of the bumps in the road.  Programs such as the King Alfred Plan rex 84, the trilateral commission, the New World Order, the Committee of 300.  There is just no way that white America is going to give that kind of power to an Afro-American; in this life-time or any other.  If i under-stand the patriot act correctly, Bush can create a crisis and continue in the presidency beyond his term, think about that!  People need to pay more attention to the bills being passed in the House instead of watching TV and these talk shows.  This religious thing is another Gimmick.  The Bible isn&#039;t even 500 years old, so how can it possibly be the word of GOD? further more 85% of it is written in the third person.  Shakespeare and his gay co-horts such as Francis Bacon were commissioned to write the Bible in the year 1600 and they among others took 11 years to bring it to publication the year 1611.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well mark my words,

Obama will win Pennsylvania cause its a closed primary. 

And the Clinton campaign must have put this out now, cause if it was the republicans they would have waited until sometime in October.

First off, if you want to criticize me, please quote my claim directly above your criticism. I am trying as hard as i can to be objective here, so please respect my effort.

Well where do i start...

First off i think it is undeniable to say that blacks of Rev. Jeremiah Wright&#039;s generation are legitimately angry. 



if one were to look at his birth date &quot;September 22, 1941&quot; 

and relate other important dates

Brown v. Board of Education, 347 U.S. 483 (1954)

The Voting Rights Act of 1965.

and also relate clear instances of racism:-

http://www.cnn.com/US/9704/08/tuskegee/

etc

I dono about you but, i would be clearly disgruntled.



As for Obama&#039;s own views, i don&#039;t think that they are even remotely close to the Reverend. lets not be dumb here. he has lived for 46 years, he must have written countless pieces of material, given many lectures as professor etc. I don&#039;t think that anyone has unearthed any statements by Obama even remotely resembling the Reverand&#039;s views.

To still conclude that Obama has been hiding his true feelings cause he was planing to run for president since he was 20 is absurd.  

Finally lets engage in a logical exercise...

Many here think that most poor ppl are lazy or morally lacking.

Now...

It is undeniable that Blacks as a race are much worser economic condition than whites. 

Figures:-

US census beureau

http://www.collegeboard.com/prod_images/prof/highered/res/hel/hel37.gif

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/111307D.shtml


Now, you can say that well &quot; ohh they are lazy&quot; &quot;i was not lazy and poor before but i am well off now&quot; 

But why are they lazy - is it because they are Black.

i would guess that your answer could be because their parents are not &quot;civilized&quot; Ok, well is that because they are black, or perhaps maybe their culture.

but it is irrelevant i think. No matter what their parents are, i think that their Children should not pay.

After all we exploited em for over 200 years, in my view we should make up for that and offer them more incentives i.e. more aggressive affirmative action etc. Until they equalize with wights.

		<description><![CDATA[We bombed Hiroshima, but the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor first.  I&#039;m not justifying it, it&#039;s a horrible response.

Supposedly Osama bin Laden etc. basically bombed us on 9/11.  So we went over and took over Iraq (wrong country).   I think I just want people to think of things in context of the past and the present.  Rev. Wright cries about slavery, but slavery was ended over 200 years ago.  Is it going to take time for a community to recover from that? Yes - but I never hear about how things have changed for the better from blacks, only how &#039;oh poor us, life still sucks here in America because we&#039;re black.&#039;  Get over it, people, you&#039;re tearing yourselves down.  Be proud for all you&#039;ve accomplished, your children have more advantages than you had, and you had more than your grandparents, and that is called progress.  Why can&#039;t I ever hear about the progress blacks have made?   Instead of constantly dredging up the past.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[1. if you wear condoms, you likely won&#039;t get aids.  So... be educated and wear condoms if you&#039;re going to be having sex.  It&#039;s that simple, and any race or nationality or creed won&#039;t be disproportionately infected with aids.  duh.

I&#039;m sure the gay community would like to keep that observation as their own, that Reagan let aids go to get rid of the homosexuals.  Point is, quit complaining about stupid stuff.

The other point is:  if clips were posted on YouTube with John McCann&#039;s 20+ year pastor screaming anti-American rants, ripping on his competitors about their gender, color, etc.... McCann would be demolished, and so he should be.  

YOU CANNOT VOTE FOR A PERSON WHO REFERS TO A RACIST, INFLAMMATORY, ANTI-AMERICAN RABBLE ROUSER AS HIS SPIRITUAL MENTOR, FOR PRESIDENT OF AMERICA.  

That&#039;s &quot;PERSON&quot;.  Not black, not white, not male, not female, not Jewish, not muslim, not anything.  Just a PERSON.   You can&#039;t vote for ANY PERSON who believes in that.  PERIOD.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[thanks mrpinkeyes! I just watched the video.  wow, this is a church? Not a political rally?  pastors and politicians....two peas in a pod.

This reverend makes some incendiary remarks that I think do merit academic debate, even if they are inflammatory.  For example, we did bomb Hiroshima.  There were no WMD in Iraq and the tenuous (thats generous) link between Al Qaeda and Sadam Hussein (who we propped into power) has led us into a trillion plus dollar nightmare.   We didn&#039;t go in to fight Islamofascism and thats what we&#039;ve ended up having to do.  The US sure does not have a blameless past.  

However, anyone who takes joy or shows glee in the sorrow of another (9/11 or any other event) is disturbing.  I really dislike when people enjoy the downfall of anyone one else. The US has done things we Americans should NOT be proud of.  There&#039;s lots I only know because I like to read history and I wasn&#039;t taught in school.  Maybe those things were done to keep us at the top.  Maybe to keep our economy going.  There aren&#039;t any blameless among any of us.  I don&#039;t want America to be damned and would not damn the country that has provided opportunities to me and so many others.  I&#039;m proud to be American! The country of the can-do spirit (as I like to tell the socialists up here in Canada).

You know I would have said creating AIDS was crazy if I didn&#039;t find out in high school about the US govt/army infecting black men with syphilis.  Hard to trust the government after that, right?

I DONT believe the gov&#039;t created AIDS but I see why some blacks would buy that.  I mean, after the syphilis thing,  it would be hard not to be wary.  Another argument for smaller government.]]></description>
