Well I must say that your anti "hue-manism" is showing and quite loudly at that. I personally have sat through several sermons in which my Pastor has sprewed out many comments and ideologies that I do not believe in nor accept and was not in the least bit urged to "leave the church". I am a thinking "hue-man" being and smart enough to know that just because one person has a view that may be or is considered offensive to someone else, that I must also adhere to the same view. The comments made by Rev. Wright are hainus but are the unspoken thoughts of many both black and white in this country. America does not have the best track record when it comes to fair treatment of "hue-man" beings, but it is my country and I believe we can if we are willing, to move past our hatreds to a more unified nation.

PeacefulMeadows' implications of racism don't pass the smell test, and perhaps he/she should spend a little more time in other countries before implying that America's track record in treating human beings is poor, or worse. Americans - and America - have time and time again proven to be the most fair-minded and generous people on the planet. We've spilled our blood to help others around the world time and time again, while working - as a society, country, and individuals - to help the less fortunate both at home and abroad. This having been said, people that expect others to help them while not being willing to help themselves, have no right to blame others for there lifestyle. I may be White but the fact is that Obama did not come from humble beginnings (check the facts), and many Whites have to struggle to make it - just as many Blacks do - and they work hard, study hard, overcome obstacles in their path, and make it. Personally, I grew up with my grandparents on a sharecropper's farm in Georgia, picked cotton and tobacco, hung tobacco, plowed fields, and studied my ass off through high school - then went in the Marines and served my country in hell. Nothing was easy for me - and I resent the hell out of some koolaid-drinking moonbat coming along and calling me and those like me a racist.

As far as White's Black Nationalist liberation theology being shared by any significant number of Blacks and Whites, that's dead wrong. Per Fox news and CNN tonight, less than 8% of Blacks share that view and an even smaller number of Whites.

Disagreeing with Obama, in spite of what he (and apparently also PeacefulMeadow) would like us to believe, is NOT racism.

And by the way, the "hue" card SM tried to play won't fly either.

Obama, like it or not, is the real racist - and playing the Blacks are victims card like Jackson and Sharpton puts in the same class as them.

Most Whites and virtually every Black human being I know, and I have many Black friends in my church, resent SMs implications as much as they resent Obama's attempt to paint those that disagree with his 20 year exhibition of poor judgement, and embracement of an anti-American, Marxist theology that is about as close to being Christian as Islam is to Judism.

PeacefulMeadow's been into the koolaid, just as Richard suggests. And whether he/she realizes or not - it is PeacefulMeadow that is stuck in the past, not the many who hold Obama responsible for his judgement and tactics.

As BooBooKitty at The Minority Report puts it:

".... times have truly changed and that race card is becoming passé. Discrimination is part of human nature from which we may never evolve, but systemic or overt racism is no more tolerated than lighting up on an airline- and just like older airplanes may still have vestigial ash trays the Democrat party and its most passionate followers seem stuck in another age.

I have hope today because Senator Obama had to denounce the very same tactics and tricks the Democrats have been using in minority circles to maintain power, the racial polarization he chose to passively abide, as being a stumbling block to anyone who would wish to seek higher office.

I think the country got its confirmation that we have moved forward as a society, and the Democrats have lost what has been a very egregious, but effective tool and that John McCain will be our next President regardless of his opponent. You know he's right, hope is contagious."
