Barack, I didn’t do it for this.
Barack, I was a civil rights worker… South Carolina, 1966… 22 yrs old … helping old folks register to vote, teaching kids to read and write, directing Raisin in the Sun…
Barack, I didn’t do it for this.
Barack, I dream of my kindergarten best friend Andy from Walden School, Manhattan, born one day after me, shot dead in Mississippi 1964.
Barack, I idolized Stokley Carmichael and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee.
Barack, I lost the full use of my left hand for life in South Carolina.
Barack, I didn’t do it for this.
Barack, I gave hundreds to the Black Panthers for their children’s breakfast program when I was 25 and a young screenwriter in Echo Park, Los Angeles, even though I knew Huey was crazy and was worried my money might have been going for guns, even though I had my own children in the house when the Panthers came over, their jackets bulging.
Barack, I made excuses for the Black Power Movement even though I knew it was turning racist.
Barack, I didn’t do it for this.
Barack, your speech was bullshit.
Barack, this isn’t about generations.
Barack, this isn’t about the black church.
Barack, this is about a pathological minister whose uncontrolled anger wounds his own people and keeps them down.
Barack, this is about a man who ignored that rage for his own political gain and even now won’t admit a huge mistake and looks for nuance and excuses.
Barack, this about a woman who went on scholarship to Princeton and Harvard and still hates America.
Barack, you say you want Black-Jewish reconciliation but you hung with an anti-Semite.
Barack, I didn’t do it for this.
He is an out and out liar...now spinning his tale for political expediancy.
As if though his "pastor" and mentor for 20 years and all that disgusting hate wasn't enough, or his ties to the Weathermen Underground, or his endorsement by Farakahn...this tells us all we need to know about the man. He is a sham, and his non-patriotic views and those of his wife have been formed through 20 years of mentoring by the likes of Wright.
He cannot distance himself and repudiate himself from himself...and so now Obama's own chickens are coming home to roost.
The eloquent equivocator disarmingly dissembles.
Get beyond race?
We thought we were, until BO stumbled in.
Barack, this is about a pathological minister whose uncontrolled anger wounds his own people and keeps them down.
And Barack, this is about your sillyass refusal to condemn Wright for the racist that he is.
Bump.
The jig is up.
why are we even talking about this race crap in a national election? Just what we need, the banking system is going down the tubes and this guy is talking about welfare, black education, and white guys voting for McCain? Why not just elect Al Sharpton and Marion Barry.
I have an idea, lets get Jessie Jackson in the picture, we could then create a presidential panel on why the punishment for possession of crack cocaine is greater than the punishment for powdered cocaine. Afterall, these are pressing American issues. We also need the new congress to issue a bipartisan bill that deals with all those small ghetto Korean grocery stores that rip off innocent unsuspecting black people.
