I thought this was about Obama being a racist, and I havn't seen any evidence of that yet either. Racism is just a catch phrase these days, most people can't define it, and those that can, can't differentiate between a racist, a biggot, and just being predjudice.

Quote:
rac·ism
–noun 1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others.
2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.

Pretty much. I wonder if he's convinced anyone? Talk about a case with crappy evidence. Obama may be a racist. So might McCain. But I haven't seen any evidence yet.

He appears to have a hidden agenda he will unleash on the unsuspecting public once in office!


Obama/Powell 2008. All brothers, all the time. Strength with Soul. Healing the wounds. Yeah, I like it!

HA HA. I would never be a politician either. I have a small problem when it comes to being politically correct.

Or maybe it's a case of you simply forming an opinion first then uncovering "evidence" to support it. That seems to be the consensus here. Those of us pointing it out are not even Obama supporters.

It is neither the consensus or the truth!
I hva etaken knowsn facts like these:

Obama associated with, was mentored by and preached to by a raving ranting racist pastor for 20 years!

Obama's wife has written papers essentially blaming all of the woes of the black community on white America.

And I have made a perfectly reasonable assumption that Obama has racist leanings because of these facts.

But by all means ignore the facts if it makes you feel better!

Affirmative action is a governmental policy that discriminates against, whites, Jews, and Asians on the basis of race. Obama supports affirmative action. Therefore, Obama is a racist.

. “Rightly or wrongly, white guilt has largely exhausted itself in America; even the most fair-minded whites…tend to push back against suggestions of racial victimization — or race-specific claims based on the history of race discrimination in this country.”

During his first trip to New York as a young man, he writes, he “began to grasp the almost mathematical precision with which America’s race and class problems joined.”

And Obama clearly stated he doesn't agree with him. Countless times now. What more do you want? Do you have any actions or words by Obama himself suggesting he's a racist? If so, you haven't posted any. Now THAT would be evidence. Rev. Wright is not evidence. He's not Obama. He's a whole different person. Really.

Quote:

1. Even if that's true, it doesn't fit the definition of racism. So big deal. You got nothing there.
2. You haven't presented any evidence that 20+ years later she still believes that. Have anything from this century?
3. She is not Obama. You said Obama was racist. It wasn't him who wrote any of that.


See? You got nothing. Zilch. Which is why you've convinced no one. It would be easy if you had any evidence.

Not according to the dictionary. I guess if you make your own definitions you can claim anyone is anything.
