Racist Attacks on Obama Growing More Heated

With the selection of Barack Obama as the first black Democratic nominee for president seeming more possible by the day, racists and white supremacists are posting increasingly ugly and even threatening remarks on the Internet.

obama.jpeg“OBAMA WILL DIE, KKK FOREVER,” concludes a Feb. 15 post by “Rodney” to a blog run by a person identified only as Strider333. Above that signoff, Rodney wrote: “The KKK or someone WILL assassinate Obama! If we get a NIGGER President all you NIGGER’s [sic] will think you’ve won and that the WHITE people will have to bow to you[.] FUCK THAT.”

On traditional white supremacist and neo-Nazi sites (for instance, here and here), there are lengthy discussion threads about what would happen if Obama were elected president. Dozens of those posts are derogatory and employ all kinds of racist slurs. Others speculate that such an Obama victory would kick off a race war between whites and blacks. And some even raise the possibility that he could be assassinated. But talk like that is rare and extremely careful — probable evidence that the “white nationalists” who inhabit these sites are deeply concerned that their comments are being monitored by law enforcement for any criminal threat relating to the presidential race. In fact, Obama reportedly received federal Secret Service protection unusually early in the campaign season because of concerns about a racially motivated attack.

The most heated anti-Obama talk appears to be on Internet sites that allow people to post messages anonymously. One such site, JD Underground, is a list ostensibly devoted to lawyers, although further details were not available. It has carried a particularly venomous thread, entitled “Nigger President,” that has stretched from January into this month.

“I’m hoping someone will do his public duty of putting a bullet through Obama’s head,” said a poster identified as “Kill Da Nigga.” Another poster suggests “bring[ing] back lynchings” and concludes with a warning: “LOOK OUT NIGGER. THE KLAN IS GETTING BIGGER!!!!!!” And a third, using the screen name “amerikkkan,” says only, “The deep south is making plans.”

    Don’t the same Secret Service protection rules that require investigation of credible threats of assassination apply to candidates once they receive Secret Service protection, just as if they were in office? In other words, shouldn’t the Secret Service already be investigating these sites and those who are posting such threats?

    Of course they should also go arrest Bill O’Reilly for threatening in past two days on one of his shows to “lynch” Michelle O’Bama for not loving America totally every day of her life, the rights attempt to first edit then twist her remarks out of all context as an attack against Obama.

    I’m very dissapoimted that the words of idiots would be used to represent the entire Klan.
    Today anyone who talks like that , makes threats or jepordizes the credability of the Alabama Klan would be ousted !

    Very true, we hear assasinate Obama all the time, but our comeback to that is, “wrong” It is time that America will recognize that the entire nation will soon become blessed with the attitude found in the streets of the major cities now overcome with crime and gangstas killing gangstas.

    I personaly think that he does not qualify because of his experiance, however, the nation is setting that asside because raceial tensions are errupting and Al Sharpton has declaired a New Civil Rights Era. No one can overlook the time frame of such a Statement.

    We wish you God Speed Mr. Obama, but a race war will probably materalize while you are in office. True, there are groups that are plotting at this time, but they are from both the black and white side.

    Our answer and profound message is that of forgiveness and evaluation. Violence will certainly ruin our country.

    Gee! This is exciting. I dont think I will vote for Obama or any of the other slugs either but it will be amusing to see all the big problems tossed in a Black mans lap. Pretty crafty to toss it to a Black man to take the fall when the ship goes down.

    Sort of like a drunk ship captain on a passenger liner handing the helm to a Black steward after striking an Iceberg.

    Likewise.
    I read that link posted above and I can’t say how appalled I was with that security lasped down in Texas., I guess that was a close one. No doubt that God is with him and I truly hope nothing happens to Obama through the entire campaign. These vile racial attacks on Barak Obama is a cause for alarm and something must be to address it.

    I was a security volunteer for Senator Kerry in 2004. At one event there were metal detectors set up to screen entrants, but halfway through Kerry’s speech those in charge took down the metal detectors. Then Kerry left and walked past the unscreened people to his armored sport utility.
    At another event in the week prior to the 2004 general election, everyone was admitted without having to go through any metal detectors. The security procedures we were to do were pretty pointless. If someone had a little day pack, we told them to unzip it, but not to dump the contents out. We just looked in, maybe moved the top couple items. Women’s purses, an even more cursory check. Just open it up, look in, say “OK.”
    If anyone had had a gun in the bottom of their backpack or purse, or in their pants pocket or in a holster but with a large T-shirt over it to disguise it, they would have had no problem getting through as long as they kept their cool.
    I hope the security this year is better. I did attend an event for one of the top presidential candidates 3 weeks ago, and there were no metal detectors, and anyone could get 10 or 20 feet from the candidate.
    I know that candidates don’t want to ruin their rapport with the people, but I can tell you that security at our local major league baseball stadium is better than security at the 5 Kerry events I volunteered at. I hope the candidates and the Secret Service improve the situation this year.

    After reading the above story I surfed the net for quite a long time, concerning anything written about Obama. Yes, the above sites are definitely denigrating him, but they’re an insignificant few, and what they write are at the very extreme fringe. Kos and Moveon.org don’t go quite that far against those on the right or moderates, but they’re certainly extremists as well.

    The biggest argument against Obama is coming from those who are highlighting what his church’s pastor, Rev. Wright, has to say and, his affiliation with Louis Farrakhan which are certainly legitimate points of contention, as the man is definitely a racist, obviously anti-American, and a pro-African loyalist. http://www.tucc.org/about.htm

    There are some high-sounding values interjected here and there on his web site (He’s cleaned it up a bit these last few weeks), probably as a cover to his anti-white message. Wright has visited Ghadafi of Libya, along with Farrakhan and Obama, and he has presented Farrakhan with awards and showered him with accolades, in spite of the vast number of his anti-white and anti-semitic rants. Farrakhan’s mansion is in Obama’s Illinois district, and it is correctly pointed out that Obama could not have been elected without his approval. Obama is without doubt Farrakhan’s man.

    Would such a candidate be applauded as Obama has if he were white and had a close affiliation with David Duke, who doesn’t even begin to approach the rabid hatred this Rev, Wright is guilty of? He would not, of course.

    Look for a plummet in Obama’s image after he wins the Democratic nomination and is highlighted in the following campaign. Many people are unaware of the extent of his Muslim leanings and his obvious ties to racist, radical figures.

    I can tell you for certain the Republicans rubbed their hands together, hopped from one foot to the other in glee, when it became apparent Obama was defeating Hillary. The ammunition directed at Obama will be copius and volatile.

    Ex-Gov. Wilder was quoted as saying, if Hillary tries to wrest control of the superdelegates, blacks would riot in the streets. Since that’s a common practice among ALL politicians in Presidential elections, it only serves to make people aware of how radical the Obama followers are and how close to violence they are constantly.

    If there IS a race war, the people responsible for it will be militant black racists, which are in abundance in this country.

    All I can say is this entire line up from the very beginning consisted of nothing but establishment candidates, except for Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich, and neither of them got a chance to say much.

    As it stands right now, we have Obama and Hillary who are both so far out in left field neither of them can see home plate, and both are establishment candidates who want the presidency, not to serve the country, but to bolster their egos.

    In fact that includes McCain as well. But he’s particularly bad because he’s just a continuation of Bush’s criminal war policies. He could very well attack Iran, if he’s elected.

    But Obama and Hillary both have altered their positions on the Iraq war now saying that they would withdraw troops, but only so long as it was feasible to do so, which is no more than code admitting that when the time comes, if either get in, “something” will occur they’ll be quick to point out that makes withdrawal impossible, and with Obama, there could well be an attack on Pakistan, as he admitted might be necessary.

    So, bottom line is that any of them in the race right now are just more of the same establishment types, ready and willing to say anything and do most anything in order to be the big honcho in order to satisfy their huge egos and fill them with self-importance.

    The system is broken and doesn’t work anymore. It is the big shots behind the scenes of the GOP and the Democrats who decide who will run, not the people. We’re nothing but dupes to them, to be used as needed.

    This government will never change peacefully, because the people can’t get a satisfactory candidate.

    The Democrats talk a leftist agenda and the Republicans talk a right one, but both wind up compromising on almost everything when they gain control, until the inadvertently form a third party that totally dominates, amounting to nothing else but Replubicrats. There’s not a whit of difference between the two in the final analysis.

    It is absolutely true that next president is going to handed a country that is going to be decimated economically even further, due to the spillover from the sub-prime crash, which reportedly has the chance of being a worse depression than the first one back in the thirties, right after the crash of 1929. It has global repercussions as well.

    I’m not very optimistic about the future of this country. The more I learn, the darker the situation appears to be. The whole country is in dire straits and the only thing everybody talks about lately is whether a candidate might be assasinated, all this in spite of the fact there are very clear indications we’re going downhill at a VERY rapid rate. It’s truly a sad situation.

    The originators of anonymous threat postings can be identified very easily, through a number of methods that anyone with appropriate technical background knows and understands. (Hint: it doesn’t matter if they are using anonymous relay services.)

    Thus it would be possible, for example, to trace and prosecute the assassination threats. However, far more useful to collect intel on the individuals involved, with the intention of being able to bust them and their associates for something bigger than shooting off their mouths online.

    Hey racists & segregationists: Word to the wise: you can spout ideology all you like and campaign against a candidate all you like, and you can even put racist stickers on your cars for all I care. But if you start breaking the law and threatening candidates or elected officials, you WILL be detected, arrested, put on trial, convicted, and sentenced to prison. Don’t forget to pack your toothbrush.

    Yes sir, except for the very fact that this is no longer a 2 party race for the White House. Yesterday on “Meet the Press” with Tim Russert, the “spoiler” Ralph Nader and Independent has announced that he is throwing his hat in the race at the last moment.
    http://www.votenader.org
    To me this could be devastating to the Democratic race which could be a repeat of the 2000`s de ja vu.

    Lou Dobbs has missed his deadline or his chance to run for the presidency. According to ALIPAC, it appears he won’t be running for prez anytime. I can’t imagine Lou Dobbs being that a president. He’s just nothing short of a talk show host.

    It’s not just the websites of a few neo-nuts, whatever their goosestepping genre, that flirt with allusions to America’s not so distant past when discussing African Americans.

    Just last week, Bill O’Reilly said this:

    “I don’t want to go on a lynching party against Michelle Obama unless there’s evidence, hard facts, that say this is how the woman really feels. If that’s how she really feels — that America is a bad country or a flawed nation, whatever — then that’s legit.”

    We can expect to see more of this as the right gears up for this year’s presidential campaign. After all, they got away with “swift boating” a veteran, so why not a political lynching or two for an African American candidate or his wife?

    It’s a crying shame that the Racist are truly coming out of the wood work like the roaches they are. Why is it that no one Questioned the white candidates association with the Bob Jones the III, head of the racist anti-Black, anti-Catholic Bob Jones University in South Carolina or Huckabee’s speech he gave to the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC), an organization known for it’s sick racism. Ask Haley Barber Governor of Mississippi who is a member of the Council of Conservative Citizens (CCC), and good friend of George W. Bush who also visited the Racist anti-Catholic Bob Jones University.

    Please update this concerning Hal Turner’s Ricin threats. If you don’t know about it please visit my place. I’m a member of SPLC. (see my sidebar). I did indeed notify the Secret Service as to my suspicions in relation to Hal Turner’s “Code 55″ alert.

    This article is …how do you say, Reverse-Racism? Look at Obama’s past. He is a member of a blacks only church whose minister/pastor (whatever you want to call him) gave an award to an internationally known anti-white/anti-semetic (Banned in the UK) leader of The Nation of Islam that hates Jews just as much as any Neo-Nazi group. I sure hope Jews don’t vote for this guy.

    I’m really starting to doubt the motives and methods of SPLC. First of all, Obama is not like a glass of water tainted by a clumsy fly. He is not black; he is half black or interracial which are better terms that descibe his true, varied background. Just like the people you fight against who trivialize his true ethnicity to polarize, misinform and spread fear, the SPLC has done the same for their own agenda. And that is becoming questionable.

    The rest of the world watches while we trivialize the most powerful elected position in our nation with the “OBAMA GIRL” (ses video series “I Love Obama”, etc).
    My Lord, we have become a seriously poor example to the developing nations; have we not?
    From a personal perspective I agree with one writer that suggests that Obama will be an easy target for the GOP with the issues of Islamic background to incite a backlash of narrow minded fear. However, would the best choice be a woman - to negotiate with nations who are as sexist as are some in the Middle East?


  24. on March 5th, 2008 at 11:12 am

    All of this talk by radical racists of an impending race war if Barack Obama becomes President is utter nonsense and it is wishful thinking on their part. The majority of Americans could care less if a black person becomes President and they are more interested about their personal economics than race. Most Americans just want the leaders of our country to do a good job and do what is best for the citizens, race is a non-issue but more money in the wallet is.

    AYE!

    Patricio B. I agree with you. This rant about threatening a “race war” is downright utter hogwash. These relatively small bands of militant natavists and white extremists groups do not have the manpower and arms to wage such a egregious war. They may commit small petty crimes in their own neighborhoods and backyards on weapons violations and other criminal mischiefs.
    These frivolous rants and raving about what they call “civil war 2″ is pure comedy. That’s something what Hal Turner would be raving about endlessly for years and nobody listens to him.
    These banters are nothing more than just scare tactics and hype. Most Americans don’t take these goons too seriously but the government won’t keep their eyes off of them which is a good thing…….

    Obama’s church is racist. Were it not they would have NO NEED to mention race—like most Christian churches in the U.S. Just replace ‘African’ with ‘Asian’ in their Loyalty Oath, and see what the result is.

    The Nation of Islam, the Congressional Black Caucus, numerous black student associations, etc., ARE ALL RACIST. Their missions have NOTHING to do with helping the poor down-trodden folks of eastern Europe or any non-africans. They are racial SOLIDARITY groups plain and simple.

    Just how many Jewish orphans did Obama’s church help last year, or Romanian children, or tsunami victims? That’s right….ZERO. Because they weren’t BLACK.

    No…Obama’s church is racist …..it values human beings not in spite of the color of their skin, but because of it. If it were otherwise, they wouldn’t even NEED to mention race.

    Ignorance in the year of 2008 is out of control. Obama, a white man as well as a black man, is racist? Stupidity rots the brain! Being proud of being White, Black, Jewish, Indian, Latino or Arab is not racist. When you think your race is superior than any other race and take actions to secure that superiority through denying jobs as well as political positions, controlling media images of blacks and suppressing individuals from loving themselves then that is racist. Obama’s church has White followers and the church promotes helping black people to overcome the stereotypical racist images conservative radio and Fox news keep presenting to the public. If you can find anywhere where Obama’s church speaks of white people as devils, inferior, white trailer trash, race wars or the likes, then I will turn from supporting Obama. My God, the man worships a Jewish God, what more can you ask for?


  29. on March 9th, 2008 at 3:36 pm

    “helping black people to overcome the stereotypical racist images conservative radio and Fox news keep presenting to the public”….Not liking Fox or Conservative talk radio is one thing but to paint them as racists is an out and out lie. So if Deapp will lie about this he may well be lying about O bama’s church also….I mean can anyone believe a liar?

    Hello to people of many colors,

    Let me introduce myself. I am a mixed blood just like Barack Obama except that I am not African but some of my very distant cousins are black. America has had been a culture mixing pot for a very long, long time.

    Because of intermarriages on the fast rise between all races, it has proven that love is a medicine that is 10 times stronger than war or prejudice.
    We are the rainbow people that President Jefferson talked about 250 years ago. In case if you did not know, President George Washington did have an illegilimate son named West Ford who was only 1/4 Black and 3/4 White.

    West Ford’s mother’s name was Venus who was 1/2 white and 1/2 black. She was the daughter of the wealthy plantation owner and a slave woman.

    Their descendants are teachers, lawyers, business owners, college students, and college professors today.

    About me, my father is white with American Indian ancestry from 2 tribes back east. His ancestors fought in the American Revolution war.

    His mother was President of DAR chapter. Her great-grandfather’s second wife was 1/2 Indian from Choccolocco River on Poarch Creek reservation in Alabama.

    My mother is Irish-Italian, and Spanish-Filipino-Chinese. I have cousins on my mother’s side who are Ogala Sioux, Native Hawaiian, Mexican, Cuban, and Portugese.

    People from all over the world had married into my vast family of cousins
    across the United States.

    I know Barack H. Obama is a good man.
    He could have talked and acted like a black gang bangster. But he had chosen not to do that.

    He was born into a white culture through his white mother’s birth canal. His identity with white culture started with his beloved mother during his early years.

    He even picked up his mother’s speech patterns and even her cooking habits. He learned about American values from watching her as he grew up.

    He is a spirit who made the choice to leave heaven to be born into one of good families on the Earth planet. He volunteered to go down to the Earth planet to carry out a special mission there.

    He and his parents were best of friends while they lived in heaven. They made promise to each other that they will be reunited in flesh as a family on the Earth planet.

    Obama never knew his father so he knew nothing about his father’s culture. Obama
    grew up in Hawaii where all races mixed together.

    They were his early role models during his early years. That is the kind of man he developed into.He was raised by 2 loving grandparents in Hawaii.

    Because they raised him with love, not racisim or prejudice, he went to school with a very positive outlook on life itself.
    His view of the world was shaped by how his grandparents raised him.

    You white people need not fear Barack Obama. He is 1/2 white and 1/2 black. He identify both with you white people and plus black people. He does not favor one race over the other. So quit your paranoid
    imagination.

    Obama is very, very different from Louis Farrakhan. Obama would never call you “white devils” behind your back or to your face. Not Obama. Not his nature.

    I like and respect Obama for he always come across as a caring human being. He really does. I don’t like Louis Farrakhan because he is way too radical. You would be surprised how many black people do not really care for Louis Farrakhan.

    If you take the time to get to know black people, you would be surprised to find that they all DO NOT think alike! Some of them want peace and others want war. So they are all different.

    The point is good people do come in all colors. Unfortunately, bad people do come in all colors and shapes.

    Let’s make peace and get along with people of all colors. Come on! I know you can do it!!

    According to associated press, AZ Senator John mcCain has stage II malmona which is a deadly form dermatilogical cancer. Chances of survivng a stage II skin cancer is 64% after 10 years. John mcCain had it for 7 years. It is said to be spreading in the back of his neck area where surgery is required. His medical records expected to be released in April according to McCain`s spokesperson. With this health problem added to his long list, John McCain may not be healthy enough to be the next prez.

    There are videos of Obama’s pastors sermons on the web. They are quite hate filled, primarily against “whites”, but also “black republicans”.

    I seriously question why Obama would choose to be a part of this church if that is how they feel. I also seriously doubt if Obama is the person that can help lead all American’s on a new path. We need a real president, not just one for blacks, or whites, or Christians, but one that can respect all Americans, and one that expects those he associates with to respect all American’s. He does pick his cabinet, as well as have a huge influence on our governrment.

    Barrack Obama is a Black David Duke

    BHO is a strait up racist, and he is smooth talking mouthpiece for black racists. I think that now it is time to examine the real issue nowadays and that is black racism. A white candidate wouldn’t even think of going to a white supremist church. So why does he get to go this one and still be president? Any self respecting Democrat who has seen what BHO’s preacher says should be disturbed.

    I cannot imagine what will hapen when his preacher and Farakhan get to go to the white house for some “advisin’! ”

    Makes me want to puke.

    We hear many comments and oppinions about Hussein Obama.

    The most common now is that he is a Muslim and their goal is to defeat Christians and their purpose.
    His associates prove this without question.

    Everyday I hear, Obama is possibly the Anti-Christ

    It is a question to ponder without denial of our troubled times as predicted in the Chapters of Revelation.

    if peopple would just let it go and quit bringin it up like the biggest racisicts of them all NAACP, so much stuff they stir up out of nothing.
    Black History Month?? where is white history month? NAACP would flip if we had one of those….what about the afro negro college fund? we dont say its racist since that is there
    but what if there was a caucasion cracker college fund? ooooo nooooo
    or an all white college,,,,,,
    lol ne way
    the thing about Obama is he may be a good president
    but this country was founded under GOD
    and we are takin everything about GOD out of this country because of people who have nothin better to do than complain about somethin
    and seeing that Obamas step dad is a Radical Muslim and his mother is an Atheist
    thats the last thing we need running this country
    Then again I may be wrong, he may be the best leader we’ve ever had. But I just dont see it.
    and hes always sayin
    ITS TIME FOR A CHANGE
    what kinda change is he gonna do?
    lol what the hell is he gonna do when he gets in office?

    Actually we have drawn the conclusion that Bill White is a hasbeen, a loudmouth and unjustified in his comments and actions. we have been more occupied with our investigation into the corruption In the city of Birmingham headed up by Mayor Larry Langford and his sidekicks from the NAACP such as William Bell. and criminal company. Now if he is an example of what Black leadership is about well brother this country is in serious trouble.
    The City of Hate is headed for Bankruptsy, and the wanna be gangstaz are in control.
    Fact, instead of initiating more funds for Police activities to control the outragious crime rate, he allocated a Million for a Civil Rights Monument.
    We have no problem with their racist monument, however we do intend to shed some light onto the transition that the once magic city has undergone in the past fourty years.
    Instead of under the table hate related money spending dont you think its time to look at what has happened as a result of the Old Civil Rights Era ?

    Although its quiet obivious that some of these threads simply do not possessed the rational understanding of other`s stance. Many of these poor judgements comes from neo-cons and extremists who rely on so much propaganda, that they cannot tell chalk from cheese, facts and misconceptions. For instance, one man`s idealogy and beliefs does not neccesarily reflect yours alone. That’s like comparing LOU DOBBS with DON BLACK. Even though Ol` Lou doesn’t aggree with everything that Don Black stands for.
    Barak Obama has repeatly stated over and over that he does not share the same rhetoric as the Rev. of his church. I can easliy befit Ron Paul with Bill White since they’re both White Extremists and have been meeting regularily. Many of Ron Paul`s supporters and contributors are White Extremists. Barak Obama on the other hand has more diversity and unity in terms of race whereas Ron Paul does not. Obama is a bona fide with a good work history and there’s nothing extreme about his work ethics since he took office.
    Bottom line.

    The old sick Reagan Conspi-racist Southern strategy. Many White politicians know that they can control the sick minds of a white racist majority by simply saying something negative about a Black person to conger up innate fears of the Black brutes taking over and destroying White superiority or having sex with their lily white daughters (I have and it ain’t all that) or visiting upon them the judgement of their racist past. Wake up and start thinking for yourself for a change. These tactics has controlled White thinking for years. Publishing Abraham Lincoln in a drawing with a big afro scared many whites away from voting for him. Many other Presidents was confronted with the NI—R issue that either destroyed their run for President or made it difficult to carry on. Reagan is the father of modern day racist tactics.
    THE CARPETBAGGER REPORT wrote “Ronald Reagan is the only modern president conservatives are proud of, and it’s no doubt painful to think that their hero intentionally appealed to white supremacists with racially-divisive campaign tactics. Republicans no doubt prefer to think of their idol as a man of stronger character and virtue.
    But that doesn’t mean they can re-write history. Reagan opposed the Civil Rights Act and tried to weaken it as president. He opposed a holiday for the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He weakened the Civil Rights Commission. He opposed expanding federal civil rights laws. He sought to protect tax exemptions for private schools that practiced racial discrimination. He rejected sanctions on the apartheid regime in South Africa.
    And Reagan used racially-charged language intended to divide and offend. Conservatives may not like it, but facts are stubborn things”.

    Move away from the Bush Republikkkan fear mongering attitudes. Do not make the same mistakes of the past. Hillary Clinton knew what she was about to do to Obama during the one of the debates. Hillary expressed how much she admired Obama and how much of a honor it was sitting beside him. Hillary knew she was about to release the Republican RACE demon on fearful whites. Bush used it on McCain. You see what Bush thinking has done for America. Stop being controlled by your own people. You can either believe the illusions of the /Reagan/McCain/Clinton Klanism or you can believe in the Audacity to HOPE for a UNITED STATES of AMERICA. Choose carefully.

    I don’t see any mention of the slew of divisive and anti-patriotic affiliations Obama is involved with starting with his wife’s comment about not being proud of America, to support from Farakan, and lastly “spiritual” guidance from Jeremiah Wright. One unfortunate coincidence, okay, but three? Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.

    Although, I’m not black but how many holidays does the White man have? Let alone, how many do they need? We just had St. Patrick`s day on Monday. What else do they have? They got the Columbus Day, The President`s Day, Thanksgiving(White man`s holiday), St. Valentine`s Day, Halloween, man, all of them were created by the White man. And yet, he’s asking for a White history month? Many cities and rural towns USA have their own special holidays and festivities celebrating various White man`s heritage, from Rodeos to Greek festivals etc. So much for multi-culturalism huh?

    Man… Nothing like turning a blind eye to everything and holding hands and singing that everyone not holding hands is a RACIST. “Dont agree with popular black culture?”, “YOU MUST BE RASIST!”. “Think independently?” , “YOUR ARE RACIST TOO!”. Wow… I voted for Ron Paul… I must be a racist. Im concerned about BHO’s religious affiliations. I MUST BE A RACIST! Nope… Im just not willing to be spoon fed information from the GOP or the Obama camp. I think Ill do my own homework thank you. Furthermore Ill tell you what. I can SAY up and down that I disagree with something to your face, but you may NEVER know how I really feel about it. The same can be said for Obama.

    Xeno, your not an independent thinker. What you said there is the same thing that every black person has told you when you asked them that question… Its the same thing my friends told me when I asked them. The rebuttal is more interesting. Where is the white only exclusionary holiday? Where is the white only exclusionary collage fund? Every single thing you wrote up there… all those wonderful holidays that we ALL take part in…. those are all whitey days? Well Ill be damned… Ill ask my neighbor and his family over this year for Thanksgiving. I wonder if he will turn me down saying… Sorry man. Thats only for white people. Xeno, your an idiot. And everyone on this website is just as freaking intolerant as the people they claim to hate… oh wait… thats kind of funny.

    Go bleed your heart out for someone who gives a crap. Like whites are the only racist people. I know more misinformed racist blacks than I do racist whites. Its been proven to me on many occasions that ALL people have prejudices. STEP DOWN FROM YOUR SOAPBOX!

    Except for the fact that a huge percentage of cowboys in the Old West were black. And the black cowboy culture continues to this day - you just don’t see it. Quit being a sheep of the media.

    Ending the double standard is what Obama should have talked about. If you hang out with racists are you a racist? If you’re white you are - but Obama? What gives?

    I think the “Black Liberation” churches have been exposed and they’re smarting over it … It’s easy to blame others for your problems. Can’t buy that new 60″ flat screen? Whose fault is it? Big Oil, or WalMart, or Haliburton.

    Assumption is the mother of all f**k ups, deapp. The questions about “white” holidays was rhetorical, and just being used to make a point. Since your so thick headed and quick to pull the racist card on someone Ill enlighten you on what the point of the post I made was. And since you really proved the point without even thinking about it Ill elaborate. No.. Im not a skinhead. Im not a racist. I do on the other hand have pride in who I am and who my people are. Everyone on here is so uptight about the race issue that you have become as militant and intolerant of peoples views as the racist you hate so much.

    Im just a average normal guy, I live in a predominantly black neighborhood. I work with blacks, I have played music with blacks, growing up I had a few good black friends. I have the outlook about blacks that most blacks do about whites though. They are different than whites, hispanics, asians, ect. The culture is different, the way most were brought up is different. A lot of blacks were brought up to blame the whites for their problems, and never bother to look any further than that. Im not saying its an ALL black thing, but Ill say its more than a few.

    Like I said Im just a normal f**kin person. I have concerns, I have preconceived thoughts about certain groups of peoples, just as people have preconceived notions about me when they see me. I cant even tell you how many times Ive been asked stupid crap from blacks like “(using best surfer voice) You must play that (insert growling screamo sound) music” or “Ill bet you smoke a lot of pot” because I have long hair and am white. Like since Im white my mom must not have been a stripper/prostitute. Since Im white I didn’t drop out of school or ever have a drug problem. Im so privileged since Im white… Not really. Ive had about as terrible a life as you can imagine.

    And all that crap is true. I was born in Torrance, CA. Where my mother witnessed a shooting on the way to the hospital with me. My mother was 14 when she had me and in biker gangs up until the 90s when she moved south and became a stripper and later a hooker. I indeed did drop out of my predominantly black school where I was lynched on occasion for being “whitey”. I was into drugs. I was into gangs.

    When playing fields are even its no big deal to me. The problem is the double standard. Everyone wants to ignore the fact that YES SOME BLACKS ARE RACIST. Some could be racist and you might never know. If as a nation were gonna have a discussion about race it cant just be one side screaming “RACIST!” at everyone who has an opinion or concern.

    Really the question for Obama is how after 20 years of listening to that kind of rhetoric can you say that you dont agree with it, and never once have heard anything like it. Like he didn’t know that his minister, his role model, was friends with the biggest black supremest in the world. Like Barack is totally squeaky freakin clean. Its not that hes black thats the problem, although Im sure you will be more than happy to make that the issue. Its that he has been involved for 20 years with a man who can only be called a racist.

    TO WTF:

    Normally I don’t respond to internet posts, but you really need to learn some black history. I know you’re opposed to that concept, but the extent of your ignorance is so astounding that you really should give it a shot. This is coming from a white guy.

    You act as though whites and blacks have an identical history in this country, and you don’t even seem to know the meaning of the word “lynching”. I guarantee you that you were not ever “lynched” once, let alone several times. And to compare the word “racist” to the n-word… well, that’s just stupidity that speaks for itself. If the word “racist” had been written on the bodies of dead white people hanging from trees in the American South, you’d be right. But it wasn’t, and you’re not. Racism toward blacks, hispanics, and native americans has been far more prevalent than racism against whites in this country, even though you may have been picked on at school a few times.

    If you weren’t so uninformed, you’d know that some of the posters on this board are, in fact, bona fide white supremacists. That is probably what your detractors are referring to. I won’t name names, but if you did a little research, you’d know who they are.

    And finally, I grew up in a predominantly black city too. how does that make my opinions any more valid than anyone else’s?

    Usually I don’t get involved with the Black & White issues but for racial sakes concerning the above comments I feel the need to address another issue where “antilaugh” came up with history in this country. I posted on here mainly in support of Barak Obama and denouce White Power. White Extremists seemed bent on attacking every race/ethnicity in these forums, especially at Blacks and Hispanics.

    When it comes down to history(through a White Man`s viewpoint), I’m very skeptical but cautious of who I learn the subject of history from. For one, I know the SOME of the White Man`s history in this country is full of lies, distortions and hogwash, in an effort to make themselves look good, less brutal, and more of a victim rather than the perpetrators of such horrid crimes against humanity. Many of them deny that Jewish Haulocaust took place in nazi Germany WWII. Which is why I decided to learn history from a broader spectrum and standpoints. For example, if I wanted to learn more about Black history, I would prefer to learn this through a legitimate Black historian. A Black person who’s knows so much about Black history. The same goes for other races and ethnic groups. Many of these White Extremists grew up in households full of fear and hate, they never learn to respect other people but themselves. This breeds ignorance and xenophobia.

    Barack Obama, the race and gender war

    Race and gender have become major issues in the campaign. It’s not surprising but rather disturbing that the Democrat party should be guilty of this vice. This is the sort of tactics the republicans are famous for.

    It’s obvious that Barack Obama is likely to win the nomination and this possibility has seriously affected the stability of the traditional power structure of the Democrat party and the Clinton machine. There’s widespread panic in the Clinton and McCain camps to the extent that both camps have formed an unholy alliance to attack Obama.

    Because Obama is clearly the supremely superior candidate, there’s no way to stop him the conventional way except to resort to the use of racial attacks and gender bating by the Clintons and Republicans. Enter Jeremiah Wright who happens to be the creation of Fox News and right wing talk radio.

    The idea of the Jeremiah Wright approach is to appeal to the racist elements of both parties. These bigots would never vote for a black candidate for president anyway so there’s no real loss. Reasonable Americans will see through the game and do the right thing by supporting Obama all the way.

    Jeremiah Wright has been preaching his fiery Gospel for 30 years. Why was he never a national problem? If he was so evil, why would he be invited to the Clinton White House and even pose for a photo up with the president?

    Are not the sentiments expressed by Jeremiah Wright about the ills of American foreign policy echoed by a respectable number of concerned Americans?

    Will McCain receive the same scotch earth scrutiny for his association and endorsement by not so pure preachers?

    Well, its time to face the mirror and ask the tough question. Is it justifiable to lynch Obama because of the words of a preacher he couldn’t or shouldn’t attempt to control?

    The truth is, there are surface racists and subterranean racists. The surface racists don’t need help to ply their hate. The sub racists only need a little prodding. Thanks to Clintons.

    How many is significant, btw? These websites don’t just represent a few. There are thousands of white racists who keep it hidden and even answer falsely in polls because they are afraid to be judged for their true racism that they just can’t get over, and feel is, heck - justified. And just are simmering with resentment that blacks are no equal, until they are presented with a chance to let it loose as Bullets or fat internet rumorlies.

    First off, BO is not a black man..he is half white. Why is he being portrayed as the FIRST BLACK CANDIDATE? He is not. He is however the first person with an ISLAMIC point of view and beliefs. That leaves much to be desired in MHO. There are so many red flags flying and yet there are those who cannot see them. There is so much evidence as to his hatred of whites and yet ppl defend him and call ppl racists and say all the evidence are lies. He must be the only person on earth with a muslim name that says he is not. I feel he is a MAJOR DANGER!

    The church where Sen. Barack Obama has worshipped for two decades publicly declares that its ministry is founded on a 1960s book that espouses “the destruction of the white enemy.”

    Trinity United Church of Christ’s Web site says its teachings are based on the black liberation theology of James H. Cone and his 1969 book “Black Theology and Black Power.”

    “What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love,” Mr. Cone wrote in the book.

    Mr. Cone, a professor at the Union Theological Seminary in New York, added that “black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy.”

    Mr. Obama’s campaign, which for weeks has weathered criticism about inflammatory racial language by the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. at Trinity, said the candidate “vehemently disagrees” with those tenets.

    “It’s absurd to suggest that he or anyone should be held responsible for every quote in every book read by a member of their church,” said Obama spokesman Reid Cherlin.

    “Barack Obama is not a theologian, and what he learned in church is to love Jesus Christ and work on behalf of his fellow man, regardless of race, class or circumstance. This is a faulty and disingenuous approach to a church, and a flawed way to judge a candidate,” he said.

    Mr. Obama has been a member of Trinity, on Chicago’s South Side, since finding religion there 20 years ago under Mr. Wright’s mentorship. Mr. Wright married the Obamas and baptized their children, and a sermon of his inspired Mr. Obama to title his book “The Audacity of Hope.”
    The Trinity church was founded on this militants mentality.

    SETH, you are so right….
    Do these passages from Obama’s book, “Dreams of My Father,” distinguish him in any way from Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright?
    “I CEASED TO ADVERTISE MY MOTHER’S RACE AT THE AGE OF12 OR 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites”
    From Dreams of My Father, ” I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE”.
    From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “The emotion between the races could never be pure….. the THE OTHER RACE (WHITE) WOULD ALWAYS REMAIN JUST THAT: MENACING, ALIEN AND APART”
    From Dreams Of My Father, “never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. IT WAS INTO MY FATHER’S IMAGE , THE BLACK MAN, THE SON OF AFRICA, THAT I’D PACKED ALL THE ATTRIBUTES I SOUGHT IN MYSELF.
    From Dreams Of My Father:

    I was originally for John Edwards but now I am 100% for Barack Obama. I think he will make a fine president. I am not afraid of any “race war.” Skinheads and Klansmen vs. the U.S. Marines? That would go down in the history books as The 100 Seconds War.
