there was a poll done over the weekend.....I don’t recall which organization put it on, but it was within the black community and it found that 29 percent of the respondents said that they would be more likely to vote for Obama knowing of his involvement with Jeremiah Wright and seeing Wright’s sermons, vs. 18 percent who said they’d be less likely to vote for Obama.
53 percent said there would be no change. A fair reading of which might be that half of that number would be with the 29 percent but that they’d prefer not to be identified with them - or if nothing else they might have determined they would vote for Obama long ago simply because he was black and they couldn’t care less what he believes in.
Regardless, you’re looking at a good half the black population based on those numbers which is by no means offended by Jeremiah Wright’s sermons, much less finds factual fault with them. In other words, a good half of the black community is poisoned with sedition, or worse, and as such is largely beyond redemption as a responsible polity.
Given that, one wonders whether the white community won’t begin to oberve this and wonder whether it really has an obligation to the black community anymore as it has been harangued over the years. If all the affirmative action, forced busing, cultural accomodations, high taxation and Mau-Mauing of racism over the past 30-40 years have merely brought us Jeremiah Wright’s bleatings in our face which we are required to accept - will white America continue to tolerate this? Or will some of the white guilt that so much of modern liberal dogma depends on melt away like so much burning wax?
I honestly can’t say. But I can say that I expect over the next year or so you’ll see a hell of a lot less inclination toward political correctness on the part of white people who decide that they frankly just don’t give a $hit anymore and have judged that at the end of the day it won’t hurt them individually to speak their minds.
We must think about his daughters.
Obama as an adult may be able to take or leave what the pastor says each week, but his daughters do not yet have that maturity to be able to evaluate hate rhetoric effectively. Obama has allowed their minds to be poluted, he’s allowed them to be brainwashed.
If the shoe were on the other foot, this kind of talk would not be tolerated
from whites. Growing up in Mississippi in the 1950’s and 1960’s I would see
white demagogues try to keep the fires of racism burning in order to gain
political advantage. It was really a sick thing to see, but that kind of
thing begin to die out in the early 1970’s. People like Gov Ross Barnett
and Gov George Wallace turned their positions and started to draw people
together. Things got better.
Last year with the Memphis city elections the same thing blatantly came
back into being as fostered by the incumbent Mayor. This is probably not
new but it was really visible in this particular campaign. Things are bad
once again. I really don't know how it can be reversed. Now that we have
political correctness replacing the First Amendment, constructive dialog
has been destroyed.
Jeremiah Wright will not be held accountable for his words, but his
parishioner, Mr. Obama, may be washed out of the presidential race.
Whether anything will be learned by course of events is yet to be seen. And
it probably won't.
I think your assessment is accurate.

Here's the data from 2005:
Percent of All Homicides by Racial Composition of Victims and Offenders
White on White - 44.6%
Black on White - 8.8%
White on Black - 3.2%
Black on Black - 42.2%

"Table 42: Personal Crimes of Violence 2005: Percent distribution of single offender victimizations, based on race of victims, by type of crime and perceived race of offender."
Under "Rape/Sexual assaults" the survey reports 111,490 rape/assaults in 2005 in which a white was the victim.
The "perceived race" of the offender was reported as white in 44.5 percent of cases, black in 33.6 percent of cases, "other" in 19.6 percent of cases.
Where the victim of rape was black, in 36,620 cases, things were rather different. The "perceived race" of the offender was reported as black in 100.0 percent of cases.
White offenders? "0.0*" percent. The asterisk means that the sample included ten or fewer reports.
The federal crime statistics show that white-on-black rape was almost non-existent in the United States of America in 2005.

This is a very interesting question that this election may answer:
“one wonders whether the white community won’t begin to oberve this and wonder whether it really has an obligation to the black community anymore as it has been harangued over the years.

Nice reply. The Democrat party is not headed for a train wreck as much as it is headed for a fork in the road. The first is to select Obama [redacted] Hussein according to the delegate count. He is damaged goods now-his hope is that enough MSM spin will change some minds. The second choice is to supecede the delegate count with a nod to Clinton. This is a garaunteed train wreck. Blacks will abandon the Democrats in large numbers come November.
Obama is the lesser of two evils, in their minds, I bet. With Obama on the ticket, the double standard of racism will unfold to the point of resolve. I suppose that is what you are talking about when you say "...lot less inclination toward political correctness...". I have recognized this double standard for a long time. It had to come out of the closet some time.
I stated a long time ago that Gen X and Y are going to reject the "Mau-Mauing of racism". It looks like it will happen sooner than I thought.
