I just watched Senator Obama on Fox News. He gave a direct, honest interview on this subject. He is an impressive person.


I disagree with your assessment.

I found him stumbling through it, and while he answered the questions, I found him UN-believable.

He struck me as rehearsed and practiced- I waited for the pain in his voice, the sorrow in his eyes, the disbelief that this man who has been his pastor could possibly harbor these ideas and beliefs.

I waited in vain- and truthfully- part of me hoped he would come out swinging- angry at the brush that has now tainted him and his candidacy with ugly racism.

And you’re correct- white people do no experience what it means to be black in America.

For many years I woke up with my own particular chip on my shoulder until it about broke me. I am acquainted with the difficulty in giving up long-standing and deeply held resentment.

I am thankfully also acquainted with the freedom in letting it go and waking UP.

Your view is interesting, but seems to me extremely detached from actual life.
