And his brain-dead followers will lap it up without so much as a thought.

A black Chicago church attended by Democrat presidential frontrunner Barack Obama has removed from the "About Us" page of its website an entire section outlining a radical belief system for blacks, WND has learned.
Trinity United Church of Christ, which describes itself as "unashamedly black," drew fire last week after inflammatory sermons by its senior pastor were broadcast on cable TV news.
Obama responded he was shocked to hear the profane anti-American and anti-white rhetoric delivered by his Rev. Jeremiah Wright and strongly objected to it.
While critics say the sermons reflect militantly segregationist views, Obama says they were taken out of context and do not reflect the broader message of his preacher and church.
Until recently, however, Trinity's website outlined a controversial code of ethics written by blacks for blacks called the "Black Value System."
It asks members to commit their time, money and talents to the black community, black businesses, black institutions and black political leaders. The program also demands black members disavow "the pursuit of middleclassness."
The 160-word section has since been deleted from the About Us page, replaced by videotaped testimonials from church members extolling the virtues of the church, including a white official from the parent United Church of Christ who said she feels welcome at predominantly black Trinity.
"These black ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches, nurseries and schools, wherever blacks are gathered," the original webpage said.

Now comes, Hillary vs McCain 2008
I think so. His hours are numbered before Hillary wins the nomination.
Some 20% of White Democrat voters said they would swing to McCain if Obama run for the DNC. Imagine the numbers AFTER Wright’s comments insulting Whites...
Soon, there will only be a niggardly amount of info on that website. May as well take it down altogether.
Someone saved the original website. It is in here somewhere.
Racist pigs.
> disavow “the pursuit of middleclassness
Marx-speak meaning, “more for me, less for you.”
You betcha it is out there, mixed in with those 900 FBI files....
And we win !
I guess they have never heard of “Google cache.”
I found that whole, involved and impassioned disavowal of middle-classness to be fascinating.
Seems to fit quite nicely with Michelle O.’s rant against working for hedge funds or law firms or whatever. And followed as a strategy it would assure that grievances are forever and the whole ‘bootstrapping’ bit is just rhetoric to help undermine non-blacks—since they’re being told not to work themselves up to the middle class anyway.
This is a topic white people were never supposed to consider or be exposed to. Isn’t the information age just great! And remember boys and girls - only straight white men can be racists. Everything else is just diversity.
>>And we win !
Don’t count the ol chickens before they hatch....the last two elections have been really really close.
Smooth!
Here is the entire text of the section before it was redacted:
“Trinity United Church of Christ adopted the Black Value System, written by the Manford Byrd Recognition Committee chaired by the late Vallmer Jordan in 1981. We believe in the following 12 precepts and covenantal statements. These Black Ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches, nurseries and schools, wherever Blacks are gathered. They must reflect on the following concepts:
1. Commitment to God
2. Commitment to the Black Community
3. Commitment to the Black Family
4. Dedication to the Pursuit of Education
5. Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence
7. Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect
8. Disavowal of the Pursuit of “Middleclassness”
9. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the Black Community
10. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Black Institutions
11. Pledge allegiance to all Black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System
12. Personal commitment to embracement of the Black Value System.”
Critics argue Wright has used his tax-exempt church to exercise a radical political agenda.
A longtime friend of Nation of Islam founder Louis Farrakhan, Wright has called for divestment from Israel and refers to Israel, as well as America, as a “racist” state.
“Theologically he believes that the true ‘Chosen People’ are the blacks,” said Caroline B. Glick, an editor for the Jerusalem Post. “Indeed he is a black supremacist.”
“He believes that black values are superior to middle-class American values,” she added, “and that blacks should isolate themselves from the wider American society.”
Wright currently is on “sabbatical” and unavailable for comment. Trinity did not immediately return phone calls seeking explanation regarding its revised webpage.
Unashamedly racist is more like it.
I’m surprised Obama didn’t use that ol’ Clinton lie “I don’t recall.” LMAO
Doesn’t matter; you can put a fork in this turkey.
Now we can start digging in the Clinton Closet for all those ol’ skeletons... because you know the Clintons have more “baggage” than Delta Airlines!
