The issue that troubled many Americans about the widely publicized sermons of Rev. Jeremiah Wright was his view that America is an "institutionally racist" society. This view lies at the heart of the defense advocates of race preferences make for "affirmative action." It is also at the core of Black Liberation Theology.
Mr. Connerly is chairman of the American Civil Rights Coalition and author of "Creating Equal" (Encounter, 2000).

Ward Connerly, on the other hand, could easily get elected because of the content of his character as opposed to the color of his skin. This is why diversities like Obama resent him and other highly qualified African Americans like Thomas Sowell, Roy Innis, Colin Powell, Condoleeza Rice, and Walter Williams. This is why Obama's friends at MoveOn.org use racist epithets on Powell and Rice. It is why Obama's people at my.barackobama.com call Blacks who vote for Clinton "House Negroes" (and "Negroes" is not the word they use).
The one they really hate is Justice Thomas, who could leave most of the intellects in this country and in its government panting in the dust. His autobiography, My Grandfather’s Son, is excellent, because it shows you his very real problems with racism when he was growing up extremely poor in Savannah in the 1940s, and it details his progress through these things (unlike Barry O, who had a privileged childhood in a white environment). And with Justice Thomas, we genuinely have someone who understands the intellectual and ethical foundations of this country, which are based on natural law and therefore relate to all human beings of any color, not to special interest groups.
Obama is the triumph of interest-group politics. Well, that and his own bizarre and ruthless will to power.
We already know this. Obama’s worshippers don’t care.
I read somewhere that Obama’s appeal has a lot to do with his unique “adaptive style.” Pandering? Or a new name for flim flam?
I once said to a black student who was trying to evade responsibility, “Don’t give me that baloney!”
He asked, “What’s baloney, Mrs. G? Is it jive?”
Barak is the jive man. Blacks know this. Why can whites not recognize it?
You had a black student us the word,”jive”?
I haven’t heard anyone say that since 1970!
The black kids I work around would use a much stronger term than that obselete chestnut.
Yes.
POST RACIAL CANDIDATE?
HATRED FOR WHITES
.
From Dreams of My Father, “ I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE”.
From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “THE EMOTION BETWEEN THE RACES COULD NEVER BE PURE...THE OTHER RACE WOULD ALWAYS REMAIN JUST THAT; MENACING, ALIEN AND APART.”
From ‘Dreams of My Father’,
“I CEASED TO ADVERTISE MY MOTHER’S RACE AT THE AGE OF 12 OR 13, WHEN I BEGAN TO SUSPECT THAT BY DOING SO I WAS INGRATIATING MYSELF TO WHITES.”
From Dreams Of My Father, “NEVER EMULATE THE WHITE MEN and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. IT WAS INTO MY FATHER’S IMAGE, THE BLACK MAN, SON OF AFRICA, THAT I’D PACKED ALL THE ATTRIBUTES I SOUGHT IN MYSELF”.
From Dreams Of My Father:
“THAT HATE HADN’T GONE AWAY,” he wrote, BLAMING “WHITE PEOPLE— some cruel, some IGNORANT, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.”
From Dreams Of My Father;
“There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,” he wrote. “IT REMAINED NECESSARY TO PROVE WHICH SIDE YOU WERE ON, TO SHOW YOUR LOYALTY TO THE BLACK MASSES, TO STRIKE OUT, AND NAME NAMES. “
From Dreams Of My Father, “I HAD GROWN ACCUSTOMED , everywhere, TO SUSPICIONS BETWEEN THE RACES.”

LOVE OF ISLAM
.
Quote from Barack Obama’s book, Dreams Of My Father:
“THE PERSON WHO MADE ME PROUDEST OF ALL, though, was [HALF BROTHER ] ROY .. HE CONVERTED TO ISLAM” .
From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “IN INDONESIA, I HAD SPENT TWO YEARS AT A MUSLIM SCHOOL.”
“I STUDIED THE KORAN.”
From ‘Audacity of Hope: “LOLO (Obama’s step father) FOLLOWED .. ISLAM...” “I LOOKED TO LOLO FOR GUIDANCE”.
From ‘The Audacity Of Hope, “I WILL STAND WITH THE MUSLIMS SHOULD THE POLITICAL WINDS SHIFT IN AN UGLY DIRECTION.”
From The Audacity Of Hope, “WE ARE NO LONGER just A CHRISTIAN NATION..We ARE also a Jewish nation, A MUSLIM NATION, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.”

Knock it off with the spamming.
Jive Talking by the Bee Gees came out in 1975.And Thorogood is a white guy!
I’m talking about the little homies in the hood.Jive is outdated in that circle as “Fresh”or”thats so def”.
Oh. Well, “jive” s older than ebonics, and is still with us today...among certain sectors of the white population in the South...those that haven’t been assimilated, that is.
OK,that makes sense.
I think the last time I heard anyone black say”jive”was around the time the expression”jive turkey”was popular from the old Sanford and Son show.
These youngsters today change their slang rapidly.I don’t even try to keep abreast of it anymore.
LOL, yeah, Sanford & Son was a good show. They don’t make them like that anymore. They bridged the gap Obama is creating now: they were all of us, regardless of our skin color. Just trying to make a buck.
I understood he does not have a black half. He is 1/2 white, 3/8 Arab, and 1/8 black.
This was in the early 80s in Louisiana.
Yep,Sanford and Son had a huge audience.Not sure Obama is”creating a gap”racially.It was there long before he got on the scene.And,yes,both races are guilty in keeping it going.
Where in La are you from?I lived in New O from 1972-1977 on and off and loved the town,problems and all.
I lived in the Uptown area but taught school in the Ninth Ward.I will never forget the kids,nearly all them on welfare yet most hating it and yearning to better their lives.
Many did not,however,and years later I found that some of the ones I LEAST expected to make it out of the ghetto did and the ones who had the most promise also had the most tragic tales to tell.
