"Obama: "That's Just How White Folks Will Do You" A 1995 piece in the liberal Chicago Reader basically refutes Obama's statements that he never heard Pastor Jeremiah Wright invoke his racist rants and also provides some additional insight into Obama's early years in politics.

"That's just how white folks will do you," Obama writes. "It wasn't merely the cruelty involved; I was learning that black people could be mean and then some. It was a particular brand of arrogance, an obtuseness in otherwise sane people that brought forth our bitter laughter. It was as if whites didn't know they were being cruel in the first place. Or at least thought you deserving of their scorn."

Obama on the rhetoric of Jeremiah Wright this year:

The statements that Rev. Wright made that are the cause of this controversy were not statements I personally heard him preach while I sat in the pews of Trinity or heard him utter in private conversation. When these statements first came to my attention, it was at the beginning of my presidential campaign."

Hmmmmm, Barry can't stop fibbing and his hatred for white folks hasn't been such a big secret. Gee, I wonder why the MSM doesn't report this?/s

[library user]

Barry is half white, isn’t he? So he hates half of himself? Well, I hate all of him.

[NoGrayZone]

Actually, I think he hates ALL his self.

That's not the Barack Hussein Obama that Barack Hussein Obama thought he knew.

You’re more right than you imagine.

He LOATHES his “white half”.

He admits that he consciously sought to bury his “white half” by delving heavily into “black culture”.

His choice of churches screams the reality of his white self-loathing.

His choice of wives practically shrieks it.

And worse yet, he will project his “white self”-loathing onto all other whites.

Mark my words.

He is one psychologically messed up, racially conflicted, schizoid little freak...and extremely dangerous to America, because of it.

If he is elected, the America we were given by the founding fathers will cease to exist in any recognizable form.

""Three major doubts have been raised," he said. The first is whether in today's political environment--with its emphasis on media and money--a grass-roots movement can even be created. Will people still answer the call of participatory politics?"

He does that one very well. Better than Brittany.

Sounds like it is time some of these state-funded universities got Federally mandated “white studies” departments to help educate us.

I’m not voting against Barack Obama because he’s black. I’m voting against him because he’s RED!

It’s about ideology!

[henkster]

Well, Barry did tell ESPN he likes the White Sox....

[NoGrayZone]

Hmmm, you sound like a typical bitter whitey. Bet ya a hundred bucks I know what your left and right hands are clinging to......

[savedbygrace]

The original article in the Chicago Reader doesn’t seem to support these claims. What’s up with that?

[Right Wing Assault]

No stereotyping there, eh Barack?

Is that a typical black reaction by you or a typical white reaction?

[NoGrayZone]

That is horrifying. I thank the good Lord for Palin. I believe she has made the difference.

[Right Wing Assault]

I’m not voting against Barack Obama because he’s black. I’m voting against him because he’s RED!

Good one!

[bboop]

He learned black people could be mean? Well, I’ll just be. Having attended an inner-city high school, I will second that and raise him 5.

[NoGrayZone]

What claims are you speaking of?

[NoGrayZone]

Ummmm, 1/2 & 1/2?

[NoGrayZone]

I will 3rd you and raise you 10! (Bronx, NY)

[NoGrayZone]

I’m shocked it wasn’t the Red Sox.
