These ridiculous men further the stereotype of rich, ranting, groupthink driven, no accountability Christian leaders.

As a Christian I find that more mortifying than proving a career politician like Obama is no different than anyone else inside the Beltway.

…why haven’t blacks figured out that the Dems aren’t interested in helping them but getting their vote?…

…maybe because their brains don’t work that way?

Why do the blacks hate us?

Interesting question…. that. I live in a predominantly black neighborhood, and while I have some nice black neighbors, there are many who I’ve seen litter their front yards with multiple cars and violating city housing code with multiple family members living in a too small house, as well as too many dogs (let’s say 5 pit bulls) in a too small backyard being neglected and not well taken care of.

I’ve been to many areas of the country as a military spouse. I’ve also seen how many Hispanics believe something is owed them and the reason they’re not getting what’s owed them is because of “whitey.”

I will be honest and say in my little corner of Hampton Roads, VA, where I’ve seen skyrocketing crime being committed by aimless black men in cities like Norfolk, Newport News, Hampton, VA Beach, and Portsmouth, with Democrat mayors, I do not feel safe. There’s a feeling of anarchy, not safety where I live.

I think it’s easier for some blacks of all socio-economic backgrounds to blame another race for its problems than to tackle them head on. It’s rather sad. You can do or be anything in this country but it’s like some blacks seem to be in a 1950’s time warp where nothing has changed.

I’m tired of the blame game. It’s a copout that many of the weak, overingulged amoung us (included overpampered college students) seem to engage in. This is something that Europeans have participated in for decades. The USA used to laugh at their excesses and mistakes…. looks like the shoe’s on the other foot now, huh?

Just one suggestion for derel: I think the question isn’t…. why do blacks hate us it’s why do blacks always vote for Dems who take them for granted and use them for a easily accessible voting bloc? Or, why haven’t blacks figured out that the Dems aren’t interested in helping them but getting their vote?

These are the questions I want to know.

With the rising to the societal surface of Barack Obama a curtain has been pulled back to reveal another strata of professional race-baters. They are the black preachers and the preachers to the blacks who profit from racism’s continued well being. In of all places, their churches. They have no shame.

At the same time, the race-baters wouldn’t have podiums if there weren’t those who wanted to hear. Its human nature to blame others for ones shortcomings. It’s easier to say that the white man is the reason for my plight. I am not the Bill Cosby man/woman/person and how dare he say such things.

I don’t know anyone who would say that the South African Apartheid was a good system. But now years later are the blacks really better off? Has the standard of living and personal safety improved markedly, or for that matter, at all?

Assimilation is the answer. Most of the blacks in America have waged a hundred and fifty years of war against assimilation since the Civil War ended. Even the Obamas who were able to get out of that battle and better themselves through education, when they graduated, went back to it. What a burden to carry such hatred.

#199: You are right on target:

Understand…I am NOT praising Senator Obama or his “ethics” but it would be foolish to lull ourselves into complacency by believing that his vagueness on real issues reflects any lack of intellect or political skill on his part.

Blacks feel free to openly express their “grievances” every chance they get, to go on and on about what a horrible country America is, etc. The fact is that there is nothing more whites can “do” for blacks. It is 2008. If you are black and you still seriously believe you are a victim, you are not worthy of this great country.

Father Pfleger represents his church by saying and believing the same. Anyone who equivocates over this hate speech does not understand the English language and would NEVER allow for it in a predominantly ‘white’ church.

Over the past few years, we have watched as people’s professions were destroyed from saying what was perceived as ‘racist speech’. Where’s the outrage now?

Obama does not denounce the church and says so – - he says he resignation will alleviate the problems of Trinity. It is more than apparent that he agrees with this church and feels he must resign to protect it from the frenzy.

Senator Obama is a product of the Chicago political machine. “Politics ain’t beanbag in Chicago.” was one of the quotes used. He should not be underestimated. He’s smart, tough, and ruthless.

Understand…I am NOT praising Senator Obama or his “ethics” but it would be foolish to lull ourselves into complacency by believing that his vagueness on real issues reflects any lack of intellect or political skill on his part.
