I haven’t heard anyone tie Obama’s comments on the Gate’s incident to his 20 years of being indoctrinated by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Obama’s comments are an indication of how much he was influenced by Wright and the ilk of others who think like him. This is why it’s so important to take notice of who individuals are spiritually mentored by.

No. Treating someone differently is not racism. To have a negative attitude towards someone may be bigoted, but not racist.

Racism is the belief that one race is superior over another in a bilogical, physiological or intellectual way ( or all three).
Racist policies manifest that superiority. Just hating all Black people is bigotry, but not racism.

Thus, reverse racism makes no sense. If you believe YOUR race is superior, that is racism. If you are angry at Blacks or whites, or think the other race is different in a negative way, that may be bigotry, but not racism.

So, by your definition,

0bama’s more of a BIGOT
than a racist.

It’s pretty clear he hates white people simply for the color of their skin.

Most likely he is more of a Bigot. However, if he believes the claptrap about African heritage being superior, he may be a racist. I doubt it though, because his elitism and the fact that he did not grow up in America with other Blacks throws him into a bizzare stance of defending “ the Black Man” cause he never was part of the group.

What is even stranger is that personally, he may be a racist because after all, he is part white and in his mind this may make him “superior”..( ie the Messiah) ..wouldn’t That be a kicker...

Gee, maybe Wright and Obama and their buddy Reverend Al should spend a little time in the Middle East. Imagine the race-baiting opportunities they'd find there!

This incident, besides exposing Obama (the one without the teleprompter) as an embarassing race-baiting joke, should reinforce what most Americans have known for years: the race issue will only go away when one of the races go away, and the left has make great progress in making that happen (and it ain’t the “white” ones disappearing). As their numbers continue to fall, and they’ve been relegated to 3rd place in population by the Hispanics, they will increasingly fade into obscurity. While this last election put a lot more African Americans on TV, anyone driving through places that 20 years ago were bustling with them can see that these areas are now either empty or filled with someone else (at least in the Northeast).

Obama is not a black African-American. His mother was white. His father was part black and part Arab.

"Gates has an enormous salary. Also, evidently, a free house and no taxes on it. Life sure is tough for these po’ black folks. "

So tough, that he owns a summer home on Martha's Vineyard, where he's presently vacationing. Tough life indeed.

The guy who wrote this is a “racist”? What does he mean by “reverse racism”?
