Barack Obama is an active member of the Trinity United Church of Christ, a south Chicago church that he has attended for 20 years. Trinity UCC's motto is "Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian."
The church's 12 precepts and coventatl statement are called the "Black Value System."
Links to this below in the first post.
Some of them:
2. Committment to the Black Community
3. Committment to the Black Family
6. Adherence to the Black Work Ethic
11. Pledge allegiance to all Black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System
12. Personal committment to embracement of the Black Value System
If this "Black Value System" isn't divisive bigotry, then what is?
If a "White Value System" for poor whites (either generationally poor or not) is divisive bigotry, then would a "Black Value System" be divisive bigotry too?
Some say that we must recognize what happened to blacks in the past.
Past discrimination against blacks doesn't justify present divisive bigotry. Do two wrongs make it right?
Barack Obama has had years to denounce the "Black Value System". Did he denounce this even 5 or 10 years ago?

Obama’s Mysterious Black Value System

She didn’t feel at home? Maybe she should have stopped pointing the finger at Evil Whitey and blamed the affirmative action quota that landed her there, possibly throwing her in over her head academically by her own admission.
“Blacks must join in solidarity to combat a White oppressor,” she wrote.”
Barack Obama attended the most exclusive prep school in Hawaii paid for by his white grandparents. Michelle Obama was an affirmative action student at Princeton who herself has admitted that based on her grades and test scores she would not have been accepted had she been white. These people get everything handed to them and then they attack our country and say they have never been proud of America. They say they are victims of the “white oppressor.” The Obamas are typical of the left in America and it is scary to think they will be anywhere near the White House.
Did the white oppressor waive admission standards and subsidize tuition for Shelley and Milhaus to attend the Ivy League? Just askin!
Wonder if she’s made a contribution to the United Negro College Fund since she felt persecuted at Princeton.
Sounds like someone wasn’t grateful for her Affirmative Action advantage. I’ll bet the American-American who’s place she took, would have appreciated the opportunity.
bump for later
Michelle's lucky she got to go to Princeton.
When I was in college, women could not pursue an undergraduate degree there.
Who suffered the greater discrimination?
>>>”I have found that at Princeton, no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don’t belong,” Obama wrote.
“Regardless of the circumstances under which I interact with whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be black first and a student second.”<<<
This quote from Michelle Obama’s thesis is the pinnacle of introspective self-delusion combined with self-pity.
Once, when I was a young teacher, I told a Native elder that her child didn’t “seem to care.” The elder told me that I couldn’t read her child’s mind and walked out angry.
Michelle Obama seems to believe that she can intuit the feelings and thoughts of others based on their race and her own feelings about race. In any other context, that would the essence of racism.
By the way, Michelle, when I first saw you, I didn’t think about race at all. I thought you were a really good looking woman.
Now you can write a book about being marginalized for looks and gender. I won’t buy it, though, no more than I’m buying your weak thesis.
Michelle’s obvious unease at Princeton reflects her intuitive sense of the phoniness of white (and black) liberal “diversity.” Liberals love only themselves, and are incapable of true empathy with those who have gone through hardship.
The "white oppressor" is paying her 323,000 dollars a year to be the VP of 'Communit Relations" at a Chicago hospital.
The "white oppressor" Rezko provided them with a yard free of charge.
The "white oppressor" elected her empty suit messianic husband to the United State Senate.
And FWIW, the "white oppressor" somehow allows Mr and Mrs Obama to spend more money on their kids dance and music lessons than most people in Illinois make.
She has no love for this country, shes grateful for nothing.
The difference between Michelle Obama and me.....I'm grateful to live here and see the opportunity available to ALL.
Michelle Obama for all her success, still feels shes owed something by everyone, a bitter militant woman.
