Obama to deliver “major speech” on race tomorrow
Hot Air ^ | March 17, 2008 | Allahpundit

Think it’ll have anything to do with the forces of division starting to raise their ugly heads?

Barack Obama will give a major speech on “the larger issue of race in this campaign,” he told reporters in Monaca, PA just now.

He was pressed there, as he has been at recent appearances, on statements by his former pastor, Jeremiah Wright.

“I am going to be talking about not just Reverend Wright, but the larger issue of race in this campaign,” he said.

He added that he would “talk about how some of these issues are perceived from within the black church issue for example,” he said.

Maybe “the government lied about Pearl Harbor” is all a big cultural misunderstanding? Expect lots of redemption rhetoric about the Messiah rising like a phoenix from the ashes of the black nationalist movement he patronized for 20 years and how it’s objectively anti-progress to hold that inconvenient fact against him. Exit question: It’s good news, at least, that the congregation apparently no longer regards “Middleclassness” as some sort of vestige of slavery, isn’t it?

Let him continue to bury himself.

When I first read the headline, I took race to mean “contest” (between him and Hillary) not “race” as in caucasian vs. african-american.

This oughta be good.

Major speech on race? You mean like Rev Wright’s sermons on race?

No, because nobody watches NASCAR. At least they shouldn’t. I don’t understand the attraction. F1 is more exciting, and the races are shorter, but motorsports are like watching paint dry as far as I’m concerned.

Barry is ready to spin like a whirling Dervish.

Barry, if you lie down with dogs, expect to get fleas. When you make a rabid racist nutbag your best friend and spiritual advisor, expect people to think that you are a racist nutbag.

“He added that he would “talk about how some of these issues are perceived from within the black church issue for example,” he said.”

Major HUGH SERIES mistake.

The days of flogging whitey with guilt are over.

Too many people are tone deaf to that rhetoric.

Who is advising him? Bill Clinton?

And don't forget that the government also created AIDS in order to commit genocide against blacks.

Hey, he can always crib from King's I Have A Dream speech. MLK was a Republican, so it wouldn't count...

My prediction:

He’ll announce that he is renouncing the politics of division, and will no longer campaign as his black half.

He’s going to switch to his white half, and campaign as his mother’s son.

That’s all, thank you for coming.

The only wayfor Obama to get out the mess would for him to publicly rebuke his pastor and quit the church.

I expect Obama to say lets forgive and forget and star building for a brighter future.

That which divides... as your hypocrite butt sat in church and listened to your mentor rail against the White Establishment and G.D. America, as if the civil rights movement never happened as if Black Americans and White Americans are still seperate... as if MLK dream has not been realized and you must use the Rhetoic of race to establish yourself as a uniter... You are the most divisive person in poltiics in a generation. You should have had better judegement then to get caught up in that Church with that Hate Whitey Bigot Jeramiah Wright and yet you still will not denounce HIM, you intend to defend him...

You are the real problem with Black American Barrack, the bigotry of low expectations in the hate that you preach, the victim base, blame the establishment, blame whitey, blame somebody but take no Responsiblity ... Entitelments first... handouts for all....

I don’t think so Barrack ... Good luck with that.
