Just curious as to "what" exactly Barack Obama is going to liberate black people from?

Rev. Jeremiah Wright is the reason so many people cling to this dead-end entitlement attitude. Think about it...

Could someone answer these questions:
Are you all black; brown; colored; negro; or african-american? Who decides what the flavor of the month will be? Do you all meet in a beer hall and decide? Are whites allowed in? What will be the next flavor word I can expect to read in 3 months?
thank you for your answers.(Not your comments!)

Flyingcow, I agree with you. No college will allow a white group on campus. When it comes to affirmative action, those people are allowed to the front of the line, just because they are black; brown; negro; colored; or african american. Why? What about the poor white kids that struggle in high school and get great grades, but cannot get into the college of their choice JUST because a negro student, who had worse grades is allowed in? Is the fair????

Rev. Wright is spot on. Obama should not be lulled in to following a path that the Clintons are dictating because Hillary thinks that it's her turn. I look at her and all I see is the 1990's all over again. This is not change. This is a throwback to the old guard and their old and tired ideas. And this purported truce between Obama and the Clinton’s is a joke because the Clinton smear machine operates 24-7-365. Barack better know this and not let up an inch in the battle of the Democratic nomination because I believe he can win.

Imagine that...another black reverand more racist than anything on the white.

Surely Obama Hussein would not mind a white seperatist preacher standing up for white rights, or white victims, since they are the chosen target for the poor, misunderstood and always innocent black man.

How come these church leaders are not getting into trouble for supporting candidates from a church pulpit?

Secondly, how do these churchs supporting candidates that support abortion, add up. The bible is very clear on this and in fact, it advises people that vote for lawmakers that make unlawful laws according to God's word will be held accountable. Don't believe me, read the book of Isaiah.

Is he insinuating that Black voters gave Bill Clinton oral sex, or is this just a negative remark as Obama goes negative? Where is the outrage over this terrible comment?
I guess the press is asleep.

How typical of the Obama campaign and their "Holier than thou" supporters...Does this surprise anyone when one of his most prominent supporters is all Anti-Gay...Obama is more calculated than Hillary could ever be, He calculated the "non-establishment" strategy to pretend like he has no connections with Washington...I'm glad Obama is the type of guy you can sit down and have a beer with, so he should do just that sit down and have a beer and let a real President take charge!!!Hillary For President all the way!!!

This is taken straight from Obama's CHURCH WEBSITE:

TRINITY UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST
About Us

We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian... Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain "true to our native land," the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.

The Pastor as well as the membership of Trinity United Church of Christ is committed to a 10-point Vision:

A congregation committed to ADORATION.
A congregation preaching SALVATION.
A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION.
A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA.
A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION.
A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION.
A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA.
A congregation committed to LIBERATION.
A congregation committed to RESTORATION.
A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY.

THIS CHURCH PROMOTES TREASON! If you vote for Obama, you will VOTE for A-F-R-I-C-A... NOT AMERICA. If you would rather promote the values of africa, then why don't you go live there??????

Ha! The dems are in sucha pickle this year having BOTH HillBill and Obama as their possible candidates.

What is with all this mixing of church and state, huh, libs? Doesn't this rub you the wrong way? You seemed to cringe and hiss at the thought of Bush and his christianity being such a part of his life. How 'bout Obama now? Hypocrits.

The Clintons have engaged in race baiting and smears against Obama. It really is disgusting. The Clintons will do anything to win. I would never vote for them again.

I guess im a racist cause, i attended this church in 2006. it was a great experience, they welcomed everybody no matter want color, they give outreach to people with AIDS, they welcomed gays and lesbians and did not exclude or wish them to hell, the faught for the poor and helped the community. Thats want the bible truly stands for
Because this church is not praising the glory of europe and white people its considered racist?
well if this is the standards of racism in america, Then Im proud to be racist.

Hillary has engaged in race baiting and smears against Obama. She and Bill are closet racists. She better hope she can win without the black vote.

The man is right. Bill Clinton like others appealed to the herd instinct of African Americans. Herd the BLOCK vote and vote as their leaders tell them. Until the Black middle class understands this and becomes active in real change the HERD will be USED even more in the future.
Obama does offer an opportunity for change unless he sells his soul to the WASHINGTON elite.
Taxocrats can't solve the problems of a morally corrupt society.
