Obama Addresses Racial "Anger"

[Jermyn Davidson]

While Obama flatly rejects the remarks of a long time influence, Pastor Jeremiah Wright, he also addressed the "anger" that many black Americans and some white Americans feel, in regards to "Race", "Inequalities", "Past Generations" and the "Current Situation". After you read his remarks, do you think he's "on target" in addressing real issues or is simply race-baiting?

i dont see anything but apologetics for his pastor and his own positions which i disagree with personally, dt

I think Sen. Obama is desperately trying to win a nomination, and in the process realizes he MUST distance himself from the statements of his pastor.

I don't think he is "race-baiting...'

I hope Obama is able to get over his Racial anger.

If that happens, that would certainly kick up a storm of protest. It would look like "they took the nomination away from the black guy".

If Hillary wins the nomination the Democratic party would be so divided that John McCain would almost certainly win the election in November.

My previous pastor ranted about how God had allowed 9/11 to take place because of liberals, gays, and abortion. He then prayed that God bring America to her knees if that’s what it takes to bring her to repentance.

Obama’s pastor ranted about how God had allowed 9/11 to take place because of the injustices America has committed against the black people. Jeremiah Wright ranted about how God should **** America over these injustices.

There's doubt in my mind that he wasn’t talking about all Americans…he’s an American. Obama’s pastor is obviously referring to what he believes is a wicked and unjust system in America.

Frankly, I don’t have an issue with either man’s statements (my previous pastors or Wright's). I believe that if America doesn’t repent of her godlessness, abortion, promiscuity, sexual perversion, economic oppression, racism, warmongering, greed, theft, and extortion God should indeed **** her, else bring her to her knees to repent.

If this was a white pastor condemning American over liberals, gays, abortion, socialism, etc. most of us would be cheering him on. But this underscores a serious problem….because the man is black and because the man is addressing wrongs that we find uncomfortable to address as white Americans we want to run him through the mud and use his sermon as political fodder to attack a Presidential contender.

I think we’re desperately close to proving his point instead of seeing how the abuse of his people still deeply affects the black community.
