Rice Weights in On Race-Says We As Nation Have a Birth Defect

Another PROUD Obama Supporter Indicted in Detroit-This man wrongfully ruined the career of three police officers to HIDE HIS AFFAIR.
Dissappointing Secretary of State Condi Rice, one of the Bush croonies decided to weigh in on the race issue today, stating we as a nation are still troubled by a Birth Defect. So, we have Obama defending and embracing a racist Black preacher in Jeremiah Wright, and Secretary of State Condi Rice beating the reparations drum by claiming our nation is suffering from a birth defect going back to the founding of our nation.

Get OVER IT ALREADY. Staring with my generation and moving forward, two generations of White's have been the victims of reverse discrimination in the name of Affirmative Action. Blacks and other minorities given priority status by mere virtue of the color of their skin. Almost 40 years later, those of us who committed NO SINS, did not enslave one soul have paid enough of a price in the name of leveling the playing field.

The time has come for blacks to stop demanding super rights, and a double standard where they are allowed to hold on to and feed their own racist hatred of Whites. Equal rights for all does not mean you give someone a benefit when applying to college or for a job just because they are the right color, or the right sex. Equal rights means everyone is held to the same standard. Obama said, "Typical white person" in explaining his Grandmother's fears. We all know if Senator Clinton had said, "Typical black person" her run for the presidency would be over. If it had come to light that she had sat in the church pews listening to a White Supremist preacher for 20 years, her political career would be toast...so why a different standard for Senator Obama?

Lets have the race talk, but lets let ALL SIDES have a voice. Obama talked about Black Anger, and white resentment...no, we are no longer resentful, we are angry at reverse discrimination, sick and tired of not getting a job, or a seat in a college classroom of our choice because of the color of our skin. We are tired of the United Negro College Fund because we know the Black Community would be up in arms if we started a United White College Fund. We had no problems stopping use of the *N* word, even shunned those who continued its use, but Blacks still refer to us as Honkies or Whitey...do they think those terms are LESS OFFENSIVE TO US than the *N* word is to them?

Obama gave a speech...BIG DEAL, where is HIS FOLLOW UP?

How Many Free Passes Does Obama Get on Racist Reverend Wright?

FUCK YOU, I AM NOT DENOUCING MY FRIEND!
So lets set aside for the minute that Obama called us to have THE GREAT TALK ON RACE, and then went off on vacation, trying to hide from the Reverend Wright/Otis Moss III BIGOT scandal. Forget that Obama has failed miserably in laying out a framework for this GREAT TALK ON RACE, seems to feel Whites should shut up and listen, while Blacks bitch about past sins. Lets get to reality...Obama has admitted that he sat in the pew and HEARD controversial remarks made by Reverend Wright. Again, we have more racist remarks coming to the surface that have been spoken by, or printed by Racist Jeremiah Wright, yet Obama like a boy not weaned from his mother's nipple insists STANDING BY HIS MAN.

Garlic nosed Italians? False accusations against the Jews, accusing Whites of causing aides in the black Community, insinuating that 911 was deserved, yet Obama insists on keeping Wright as a friend, insists on defending the church from which this hate speech has come...speaks ill of his judgement, and yet the press is not going after him, insists on TAMPING DOWN THE SCANDAL, afraid they might KILL THE GREAT BLACK HOPE...come on, if those comments had come from a white man, if Obama insisted on standing by the white man his career would be over. Stop the double standards...Obama is embracing as a friend, as a mentor a bigot...that is the story.

Will Obama White House Be Off Limits to Whites?

The big news heading into the Easter Weekend was New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson’s endorsement of Senator Obama. While accusations flew back and forth, while Richardson was accused of being Judas (isn’t he?), the pundits seem to have missed a very key issue and question that must be raised. Was Richardson’s endorsement a sign that the Obama White House will be open to Latino’s and Blacks, and closed to White citizens? I can already hear the gnashing of teeth, and chants of heretic as I write that question, but it is a serious question that must be asked.

We already know that Senator Obama supports a pathway to citizenship for 15-20 million criminal illegal aliens already here in America, that Obama shows little concern about the reality that those illegal aliens have stolen American jobs. Sure, he paid lip service to that reality in his Race Speech last week, but like the man, the speech is high on hyperbole, and low on real solutions, lacking even an agenda for that TALK he says America needs to have…in fact, rather than put forth an agenda for that talk, he ran off on a family vacation just in time to give himself culpable deniability when it comes to Otis Moss III’s race baiting comments from the pulpit on Sunday.

Obama has done horribly when it comes to the Latino community, would not be where he is right now if it were not for the overwhelming support (80-90 percent) of his Black Community. Governor Richardson’s endorsement could change all that in the General Election, and not stupid enough here to believe that Bill Richardson did not attach strings (conditions) to his endorsement should Obama win the White House, first on that list AMNESTY, and a National DREAM ACT.

It is rather odd that Obama is calling on Super Delegates to support the voice of the popular vote, but has no problems with Governor Bill Richardson going against the popular vote in New Mexico and casting his endorsement Obama’s way…another one of those double standards that many in the Black Community see no problem with. This contradiction should not be missed by the American voter…despite Obama’s glowing media reviews of his Race Speech; his words do not match his actions.

He opposed the Michigan law that eliminated Affirmative Action in that state, made it illegal to give anyone an advantage or disadvantage based on race, creed or sexual orientation. Further, Obama is supportive of the DREAM Act, which would give children of illegal aliens a instant pathway to citizenship, and allow them to attend college at In-State Tuition, while legal Americans attending college from out of state would have to pay higher out of state fees. Governor Richardson also supports this controversial bill that advantages illegal aliens and their families, and like Obama supports maintaining Affirmative Action.

Looking at Bill Richardson’s endorsement of Obama, looking at Obama’s refusal to label Jeremiah Wright’s hate speech for what it is, evaluating both of these politicians stand on Illegal Aliens, we must ask ourselves, “Would a Obama White House exclude Whites?”

Obama's Speech a TOTAL Dissappointment

Obama in his speech today basically CONDONED Jeremiah Wright's hate speech, condoned the reverse prejudice of many in the Black Community. He flat out admitted, that those two things are a part of him, that he cannot and will not rebuke Jeremiah Wright who he feels is an honorable, kind, passionate man always there for HIS COMMUNITY. He admitted in his words, though not directly that he has lied to the American people, admitted that "Yes, I sat in the pews, I listened to Jeremiah Wright's hate speech." He conveniently did not admit openly and honestly to the American people that he LIED TO US when he claimed it was the first time he'd heard the words, heard the hate.

Here's a wake up call, take it for what it is worth.

Slavery ended over 100 years ago. The civil rights movement started way back with Rosa Parks in 1955 (before I was born) refused to give up her seat on the bus. 52 years later, almost three generations of people later, there still exists this anger and sense of entitlement in the Black Community, a spoken and unspoken "You Owe Us." No, we do not owe you, we had nothing to do with the sins of our father's father's fathers. Quite frankly, we are tired of being told, "You OWE US". We are tired of your anger pointed squarely in our direction when we have done nothing wrong. Enough already. Stop trying to guilt people who have done no wrong.

I lived through the turbulent 60's, I lived through the assinations of John F and Robert Kennedy, cried when Martin Luther King was slain. I supported the Black Community's Civil Rights Movement, defended the actions of people like Malcolm X as a teenager. When I applied to jobs, and did not get the jobs (not because I wasn't qualified) because of Affirmative Action, I was fine with it, it was a part of equaling the playing field, erasing the slate, giving people of color a chance they had never had before. Those jobs I wanted, even needed are ancient history, go back over 30 years.

Problem is, some fifty plus years after Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on the bus, the Black community refuses to let go of its own anger. That fact was made perfectly clear today when Obama defended the racist, bigoted hate speech of Jeremiah Wright, spoke about the bitterness within segments of the Black community. Sure it will make some howl in anger, but you know what...at some point in time, one has to accept an apology and move on, because if you do not, people get tired of it, get tired of hearing the same rhetoric, complaints and whining over and over again. By the 70's the Black Community had a whole generation who had grown up with the Civil Rights Movement, supported it, were willing to make self sacrifices in the name of Equality...I was one of those people. Now, I'm upset, tired of the same complaints, the same wasted rhetoric that 40 years later no longer rings as true as it did in those early days when Martin Luther King spoke those wonderful words, "I have a dream."

There is a bitterness in the Black Community, a community wide chip on their collective shoulders as they look at us Whiteys almost daring us to knock it off. I know that chip, or more aptly a similiar chip. I spent a lot of my life being angry at those who abused me as a child, had a deep seething anger and resentment towards all men because men had been my abusers. That chip, that anger caused me problems, saw me at times shooting myself in the foot, but I never admitted my own wrong, my sad luck always the fault of others. It was not until I took responsibility for myself, took responsibility for my own actions, took steps to let go of that darkness I clung too, saw as my friend, was I able to make major strides forward in who I was and am. What I found in my own path of healing, was that once I let the anger go, once I stopped distrusting others just because they were male, my life started changing, the door of opportunity started to open up. All along, it had been ME, not them who were keeping me from succeeding in life and in love.

Obama today admitted that anger and bitterness exists in the Black Community, admitted that old grudges were still held, even on some level admitted he himself shares that same seething anger. That is not America's problem to deal with, that is the Black Community's problem to deal with. Martin Luther King openned the dialogue, gave his blood that the healing could begin. In holding on to the bitterness, in clinging to old grudges, in refusing to forgive, it is the Black Community that is throwing away everything that Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and many others gave their all for. Unless and until the Black Community is willing to take that chip off their shoulder, set aside their anger and bitterness, any forward progress is and will remain stalled. No one like to break bread with an angry man.

Sadly, America saw today that Obama is not America's Presidential candidate, he is the Black Community's Presidential Candidate. His speech today for many Americans verified what we already suspected. He may have come far enough down the road to win the Democratic Nomination, but he will not win the fall election, thus hurting the nation as a whole when John McCain is sworn into offrice, takes up residence in the Oval Office...that angers me. It might sound offensive, but is this the thanks we get for supporting the Equal Rights Movement? A President in John Mccain who, like Bush who will continue stealing away our personal liberties, running a once proud nation into the ground.

Not all, but many White Americans have for years ,even decades have extended our hand in friendship, and that offer has been ignored, our hand refused. At this point, as the basketball phrase states, "balls in your court".
