Bro...Obama just wanted to accept that the comments were over the top and move on. But I don't see any reason to crucify him over this. It was a sermon...a sermon I didn't hear in it's entirety.
Did you?

It is not the words of Jer Wright that will seal Obama.
It is the private words he attributed to his white grandmother.
To me he wanted to speak very clearly to the nation.
I know that "White Folk" have racist issues towards us African American's.
I heard the words come out of my own Grandmothers mouth.
To me it is down right biased and racist to call "Obama", or Halle Berry African American.
Since when do we accept that when a person has an African American parent and a Caucasian parent we reduce one half of their heritage by calling them African American.
To me they are multi ethnic and should be proud of their entire heritage.
Tiger Woods has also reduced his ethnic heritage by reducing his mothers heritage.
Halle Berry and Obama both do not want to be associated with their heritage and white mothers.
To me that is the biggest form of racism, reducing yourself from the family heritage that shaped you.
If I were Obama I would not allow folks to simply call me African American, Period.
