Racist Content in Obama's "Dreams From My Father" (WITH PAGE NUMBERS)

It is well known that Barack Obama associates openly with prominent racists and anti-Semites. Most recently, the National "Jewish" "Democratic" Council (we use quotes because it has nothing to do with any Jews or Democrats we know) invited Alcee Hastings, who was impeached and removed from office for perjury and corruption, to a panel discussion. Hastings denounced gun owners and hunters--"bitter" small town people who "cling to guns and religion," to use Obama's words, or "white trash" per Obama's moderated Web site at barackobama.com--as racists and anti-Semites. Obama meanwhile belonged to a racist church that gave a standing ovation to Michael Pfleger's "There were a whole lot of white people crying," and he also endorsed the prominent racist and anti-Semite Al Sharpton and his National Action Network (see "Freddy's Fashion Mart" for examples of Sharpton's and NAN's racist and anti-Semitic behavior).

We have accepted, however, the proposition that Barack Obama has never personally said anything against Jews or white people--until now. Referenced material--we emphasize "referenced," as in page number--from "Dreams From My Father" suggests that Barack Obama has a problem with white people. Although most of us change our political views after college, Obama's decision to belong to a racist church, and to praise and endorse racists and anti-Semites, suggests strongly that his have not.

Here are the relevant quotes, all with page numbers (as opposed to the urban legends and smears that have been circulating on the Internet).

The following paragraph dismisses campus radicals, with whom Obama shared an affinity, as "white and tenured." Then Obama cited his need to "show your loyalty to the Black masses." The context shows that he was not talking about Satanic rituals, either.

But this strategy alone couldn’t provide the distance I wanted, from Joyce or my past. After all, there were thousands of so-called campus radicals, most of them white and tenured and happily tolerated. No, it remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.

Barack Obama then goes on to denounce an African-American classmate for having a white girlfriend, who presumably listened to country music like all "bitter" small town people who "cling to guns and religion," or "white trash" for short.

Tim was not a conscious brother. Tim wore argyle sweaters and pressed jeans and talked like Beaver Cleaver. …His white girlfriend was probably waiting for him up in his room, listening to country music.

“Dreams From My Father,” pp. 101-102

The above material is wholly consistent with Obama's more recent remarks about "bitter" small town people who "cling to guns and religion." It is also consistent with his open association with racists, anti-Semites, and other bigots such as:

Jeremiah Wright ("God **** America")
Michael Pfleger ("There were a whole lot of white people crying")
Otis Moss, Obama's new pastor, who thanked God for Michael Pfleger's message as shown above
The Trinity United Church of Christ, which applauded Pfleger's racist tirade. TUCC also published blood libels of the United States and Israel--e.g. Jeremiah Wright accused the U.S. of inventing the AIDS virus, and the church's official newsletter carried a guest opinion piece that accused Israel of inventing an "ethnic bomb" to kill Black people and Arabs.
Al Sharpton and his National Action Network: Google on "Freddy's Fashion Mart" (and "Tawana Brawley" and "Yankel Rosenbaum") to learn more.
Louis Farrakhan; Obama admittedly never endorsed Farrakhan, but he refused to "reject" Farrakhan's endorsement until after Hillary Clinton and Tim Russert backed him into a corner on national television.

Birds of a feather flock together, and Barry has surrounded himself with some rather dirty birds. The referenced content of his own book, "Dreams From My Father," should allow the reader to form his or her own conclusion.

Any Jewish American that Votes for Obama will rue the day of that vote when Amadmanjihadi Wipes Israel from the map.

Jewish Americans must ask themselves. Why did Obama stay in that church for over 20 years and never once stand on Principle.

If we are to believe that Obama is an intelligent Politician, why didn’t he show courage of conviction and speak out against the racist tactics and espousements of Jeramiah Wright?

I think we know the reason is that he agrees with those views.

Why would he even accept the endorsement and approval of anti-semites like Farakahn again he approves of their views.

If Obama was the man he portends to be he would be out front on these issues instead of hiding behind clouds of doubt. Obama is not a friend to the Jewish Community and the sooner they realize that the better.

The Alcee Hastings rant at the National Jewish 'Rat Council event was directed at Sarah Palin, who, according to Hastings' perverse logic, must be a racist and antisemite because she hunts moose.

The NJDC should be embarrassed and ashamed for inviting a man with Hastings' history (former federal judged impeached and removed from office for soliciting bribes to fix cases) to participate in its event. It shows a complete disrespect for the rule of law in the US on the part of the NJDC.

“Their confusion made me question my own racial credentials all over again”

“Racial Credentials?” Uh, that sounds very racist, like someone who doesn’t like white people. It sounds like he bought the black racist point of view. It’s out there, for sure! It makes sense why he chose to marry an angry black woman. This is very dis concerning. I don’t care if the guy is charismatic, people need to wake up. Many a dictator has had a charming, party personality. That’s not all life is about. True, it can make life more interesting, but it’s best not to put your eggs all in one basket unless you want our own home-grown Hitler. I know I don’t want that.

I’m right now in the process of reading his book, Audacity of Hope, which I got at Walmart for $5.00. One thing that concerns me is that he tries to talk all sides of an issue and tries to hide the fact that he is in fact extremely liberal. He puts in his subtle digs to the conservative point of view while trying to appear like he is considering it. He tries real hard to be all things to all people. The only problem with his premise, there is real evil in the world. You can’t take all sides of an issue. You have to make a decision. It’s both dangerous and weird. And very clever, to the point of being scary. He’s hiding something that’s for sure.
