Some black leaders say Obama's political success means it's time to shift away from the dialogue of victimhood.
"Racism is no longer the primary obstacle to black progress. With the election of a black man whose middle name is Hussein, the rhetoric of white racism is off the table," declared the Rev. Eugene Rivers, a Boston-based minister with a national agenda and a history of taking controversial stands. "Black people don't want to hear it. White people don't want to hear it. . . . The old school is over."
By "old school," Rivers is referring to what he calls the "professional protest leadership" represented by civil rights activists like Jackson. That worldview, said Rivers, calls for "decrying inequality" and blaming white racism for all the problems of African-Americans.

Well said. IMO the Jackson/Wright leaders can only keep their power and gain their $$$ by keeping their fellow American in slavery. The slavery of the mind.
Once all realize a good education is the key to a good job, a nice home etc. and establish the home environment that encourages study skills, they too can realize the American dream. It’s all in attitude. No teacher or school can accomplish that goal without the support of the home.
I also posted this on another affirmative action thread...
Well, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in a decision dated November 4, 2008, held 10 U.S.C. § 2323 (”Section 1207”) unconstitutional a race-based violation of the right to equal protection.

Did you read the whole article or did you have this fringe laden post saved so you could copy and paste it every time race or Obama’s name is mentioned?

LOL! Get outta my head!
Oops sorry about the question mark I meant .
We've got time clever one. You think you're safe. Watch what happens. I'll do you and the forum a a favor and stop posting what I know from experience to be the case. I am safe now. It's my already indoctrinated grandchildren I worry about.
Exactly. Obama didn’t get to be President of the United States by jive-walking around the ‘hood with his buttocks hanging out of his baggy jeans while he spouted off ghetto talk.
Setting aside his radical politics and associations for the moment, he took a traditional path to American success.
I do think and hope that many will see nothing stops them from getting on that road.
This is a nightmare for the Jesse Jacksons of the world, enslavers who actually don’t want “their” people even to move to the suburbs because they might find out there that race is not a defining characteristic after all.
In California, millions of black voted against gay marriage. Yet they voted for Obama, who is for everything that they don’t want in their society or in their Christian homes. At some point they will see this irony and deal with it accordingly.
Even if what you say is true (and I don’t agree with it in particulars), Obama is a living and indisputable refutation of the LIE that America is a racist nation and that the American Dream is only for some Americans, not all Americans.
Some, hopefully many, will finally, finally, finally accept what has been in front of them this whole time, but which was obscured by the hysterical, power-hungry, manipulative rants of the Jesse Jacksons and Jeremiah Wrights of the world.
This will lead to many more, I hope, freeing themselves from the race-grievance-industry plantations ruled by the race-baiters-for-hire.
This dawning awareness that they are not in chains after all will be a powerful counter to the march toward totalitarianism that inheres in trying to impose socialism on a country as large and diverse as the U.S.A.
Will it be enough? No. We will have to do more to keep America free. But it will do something. And for that, I’m proud.
Why, thank you!
This is what I’m forcesd to do by the race baiting on this forum. (Not you) Ready? I agree with everything you say.
I’m glad we’re in agreement.
I don’t know exactly what you’re reacting to as race-baiting, but if that’s occurring, it’s wrong and should stop.
In the meantime, the rest of us can and should avoid comments that seemingly add legitimacy to those views.
Keep focused on the one good thing coming out of this election (that the race-victimhood industry is going to be a lot less powerful in the future) and on the positive things that we can join together to do for freedom in the face of the severe challenges that lie ahead.
Look. I voted for Lynn Swann for governor of Pennsylvania because I thought him a better man than Ed Rendell. Of course, that would have been easy. But anyone not a complete, abject, utter, and total idiot, can see what the psychotic thing we elected President is all about. He is clever, and useful idiots will camouflage his real purpose. There is a huge reservoir of hate built up behind Barry. I think he sees it as his mission to release it in the most effective way. I haven’t sat in a racist church with a racist “theology” for 20 years. That would be the Lord Obama, the Messiah, Most Merciful.
Yep.
I would have gladly voted for Lynn Swann.
Here’s something that is making my blood boil:

Speaking of teachers, I just saw this vid on another thread of what a teacher did to a little girl supporting McCain.
I’m furious.
