Barrack Obama continues to want America to believe he is not like his Pastor of twenty (20) years. He wants us to believe that the comments made by his wife do not relect the acceptance in his family of the line of thinking they have been exposed to over the many years attending Trinity United. Barrack wants us to believe that his children and other children who go to this Church do not come away with a distorted or biased view of America and our Race Relations. Barrack Obama wants us to ignore the fact he allowed his Children and others' children to be witness to these disgraceful, prejudiced and disgusting rants by Rev. Wright. Barrack wants America to see him differently than he sees his own Grandmother, whom he calls a Typical White Person...isn't this the kind of talk he claims is wrong for America...Do as a want to say, not as I say, mentality.
Barrack has claimed his Rev. did not influence his way of thinking, and that he found Wrights' Sermons regretable and wrong, yet he still donated incredibly large sums of money to help allow him to pontificate about such things without nary a word from Barrack. Barrack wants us to beleive he did not support his Pastors language but it should not have affected his decision to allow him to be an Advisor to the Campaign.
Barrack wants to lecture the American People about Race relations while calling people by the very sterotypical references he condemns, no less than the women who helped to raise him, he calls her a Typical White Person!?
Why is America allowing for the double standard to continue to permiate the Media Culture. Why are we the Racists, when untold Millions of American's are voting for him all over the country. Yet, black Americans are supporting him at a 90% clip. Are we to believe Race does not factor into their decisions For some reason, we are asked to not consider this a form a racism and that it is White America that is Racist.
The numbers would suggest just the opposite, that Black America is experiencind and demonstrating Racism, placing it above the quality of the Candidate. Statistically, it is far to broad of support for it to be anything else.
Ultimately, Obama is the product of a Media unwilling to scrutinize the Black Candidate for President for many reasons. Yes, the willingness to allow for 84% positive stories to butress his Campaign reflects the Media interest in advancing the Social Issue of his Campaign over the News and unbaised approach usually expected.
Obama has received not the slightest scrutiny from the Media until recently, and it may be too late for the other Democratic Candidate, oh what is her name?? Obama has the ability to transcend race, but he has not shown the willingness or Character to do so. The media built thsi Campaign up to the point of Messiah and now the scrutiny is coming from the fringe.
We are still seeing the Kid Gloves affect wtih Obama and the allowance to not expect higher standards of his conduct.
Obama attended a Church led by a Racist, and Anti-American Bigot, a man who is full of rage and hate. Yet we are asked to believe that Obama and his family have not been affected by this, however, his use of Typical White Person reflects a Sterotypical View of White American's.
I think when Barrcak is alone and looks into the mirror he sees someone very different than we see in the Candidate Barrack.
