shut up! shut up! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!

Drop this shiat. I'm so farking sick of this.

He's a racist, imagine a white Presidential hopefull with a passage like " Those blacks really dumb the world down".

Here comes the Obama cult in their superhero's costume and swords drawn

Agreeing with? Or quoting?

This. Oh Jesus farking wept THIS.

I am not even in America and I am sick to the back teeth of this crap.

The article itself clearly puts it in the context of a quote. Seriously, attack him for his stance on issue instead of fake made up shiat.

in case you missed it the first time....

shut up! shut up! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!

Isn't funny how of all the major party candidates for president in the last 50 years, only the black candidate gets accused of racism.

Dinki: Isn't funny how of all the major party candidates for president in the last 50 years, only the black candidate gets accused of racism.

The HALF black candidate. And its based on what someone else said.

Dinki: Isn't funny how of all the major party candidates for president in the last 50 years, only the black candidate gets accused of racism.

"Bush don't care about black people."
"Bill Clinton pulled the race card in North Carolina!!!"

Yep, only Obama can be accused of racism.

log_jammin: shut up! shut up! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!

That's just like you white folks: demanding things from the rest of us

/totally not serious

President McCain is getting a big kick out of that remark.

the obama cult needs to get over with shiat that happened in the past and get started on the future


all you minions do is point and say see he did it, so can we


obama has lost the old white vote, Rev Wright chased them back to the right wing conservatives. So whether you like it or not, obama is farked


thats if you can take off your obama masks and look at this a little more open minded.....but then again this is Fark

Color me...shocked.

Ima10urin8: obama has lost the old white vote

I seriously doubt he ever had the "old white vote."

Heck, if past DUI trouble didn't hurt Bush during his campaign, adultery didn't hurt Bill Clinton in his, I doubt a crazy preacher is going to do much to hurt Obama. People who don't want to vote for him don't need a reason not to vote for him. Or if they need a reason, him being black would be reason enough.

I_C_Weener: Dinki: Isn't funny how of all the major party candidates for president in the last 50 years, only the black candidate gets accused of racism.

"Bush don't care about black people."

Yep, only Obama can be accused of racism.

did you just do a simultaneous b...b...but bush and b...b...but clinton? man, you even nailed the dismount.

btw, neither of those are an example of a presidential candidate being accused of racism.

Last One Left: Agreeing with? Or quoting?

I'm sure Obama thoughtfully dissected it and then rejected the - oh, never mind, he writes that he wept when he heard the sermon. Whoops.

also... what exactly is wrong with that statement?

should we start posting pictures of greedy white CEOs whose greed has made the world a worse place? it's not exactly that hard.

I'm a greedy white person and I'm getting a kick.........

Nabb1: I'm sure Obama thoughtfully dissected it and then rejected the - oh, never mind, he writes that he wept when he heard the sermon. Whoops.

That tells me he was overwhelmed by the sentiment, not by the details. I get a tear in my eye when I read some of Dr. King's letters and sermons, even though I don't agree with some of his ideas.

Is the Reverend wrong?

I mean, I would say that on the whole the statement is correct. The problem is that it seems to suggest that it would be different if black people or Asian people or fish-people ruled the world. But neither Wright nor Obama really says that would be the case here.

In a world where the power structure is predominantly White ( as is true at least in the West), this is not a false statement.

And it matters little to those who are on the outside looking in what would have happened in an alternate universe.

Skleenar: I mean, I would say that on the whole the statement is correct. The problem is that it seems to suggest that it would be different if black people or Asian people or fish-people ruled the world. But neither Wright nor Obama really says that would be the case here.

he also doesn't say "white folks' greed runs a black world in need". once again, to make this a racist statement, you have to add words he didn't say. if you don't do that, then he wasn't making a clear contrast between races, but rather making a contrast between the words "greed" and "need".

sure, again he muddied his point by pointing out that most the greedy bastards who are ruining it for the rest of us are also white, but again i can let it slide because he was brought up under segregation, it's just something that is wired into him. even through civil rights movement glasses, he is addressing the issue of class divide more than racial divide.

The faux outrage over this mole hill by some folks around here is hilarious...

I would love to see a Venn diagram of all the Farkers who have expressed outrage over Obama's pastor and all the Farkers who claimed the people of New Orleans deserved what they got because they were too stupid or lazy to evacuate.

burndtdan: by pointing out that most the greedy bastards who are ruining it for the rest of us are also white,

I almost feel that we've been so innundated with "Hilary said this, Obama said that" in recent months that unless one of the candidates does something super egregious, like taking a dump on a podium or endorsing Perez Hilton as Veep, none of these last-minute pokes at one another is going to have much effect.

and lest we forget, the worst greedy white CEO of them all

interesting.

You're right. McCain will zoom into office like he was on roller skates lubed up with Astroglide. The left-wing circus in the meantime is just an annoyance.

As a typical white person, I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

Ima10urin8: He's a racist, imagine a white Presidential hopefull with a passage like " Those blacks really dumb the world down".

There's this guy called Andrew Jackson. He actually became president and is currently enshrined on our currency.

Skleenar: I mean, I would say that on the whole the statement is correct. The problem is that it seems to suggest that it would be different if black people or Asian people or fish-people ruled the world.

I guarantee that the world would be different if fish people ruled. For one, we'd eat a lot less sushi.

burndtdan: also... what exactly is wrong with that statement?

Why did I instantly picture McCain performing that feat naked?

/shudder

Also see McCain, in reference to "gooks"

HulkHands: There's this guy called Andrew Jackson. He actually became president and is currently enshrined on our currency.

Not to mention there were a few Presidents who actually owned African-Americans as property.

And at least one who hit the cute ones like a rabid hammer in a nail factory.




"Gimmee some brown sugar, baby!"

burndtdan:

Damn you!

I_C_Weener: For one, we'd eat a lot less sushi.

"Soylent-maguro is made of FISH-PEOPLE!"

Barack Obama doesn't care, about white people.

degreeless: Barack Obama doesn't care, about white people.

His being a black man from a black church pastored by a white-hating black man is a vast Right Wing Conspiracy!!!!

Skleenar: I_C_Weener: For one, we'd eat a lot less sushi.

"Soylent-maguro is made of FISH-PEOPLE!"

I think I'd fear fish people. I'd joint the resistance...the Fish Mongers.

/rimshot?

Skleenar:

You know, he does look a little like Ash in this picture, now that you mention it...

So? Anyone here who has ever been to Haiti have a basis for disagreeing with the statement in context?

Ima10urin8:obama has lost the old white vote, Rev Wright chased them back to the right wing conservatives. So whether you like it or not, obama is farked

My mother is 70, and a registered Democrat, but she has voted Republican in every presidential election except 1960. She's retired now, and has time to actually look at the issues, rather than get blurbs from TV news. She has an Obama sticker on her car.

/ready to go

Skleenar: And at least one who hit the cute ones like a rabid hammer in a nail factory.

I dunno. Most of the bigots I know wouldn't go around banging black women.

Slave owner, yes. But, probably less racist than most of his contemporaries.

palladiate: Slave owner, yes. But, probably less racist than most of his contemporaries.

So you're saying all Mengele had to do was bang a few Jewesses and you'd feel better about him?

/not really comparing Jefferson to Mengele, just taking apart the logic.

FTFA:

I'm not saying voters shouldn't cut Obama a lot of slack on Wright's anti-white fulminations.

Yes, you are. Why else write an article about it?

But the Senator should have spoken up publicly against the semi-paranoid "white greed" explanation a long time ago, no?

If you're that concerned, you should've brought it up a long time ago. It's in his book for fark's sake.

Jesus, the amount of fake outrage and playing dumb that has had to go on to keep this story afloat is absolutely absurd. I mean, I realize anything's fair in politics, but why bend over backwards to pretend that it's some sort of nuanced criticism? A simple "Obama's a racist and people shouldn't vote for him" would do. This faux concern is embarrassing to watch.

palladiate: I dunno. Most of the bigots I know wouldn't go around banging black women.

So you're saying that owning slaves doesn't make one a racist bigot asswipe AS LONG AS YOU BANG A FEW OF THEM? Presumably to "make them happy"?

I'm a greedy white Obama supporter, so I'm getting a kick out of these replies.

Skleenar: So you're saying all Mengele had to do was bang a few Jewesses and you'd feel better about him?

/not really comparing Jefferson to Mengele, just taking apart the logic.

Yes you are. YES YOU ARE. And you are better than that.

No, because I missed the part where Jefferson dissected slaves for scientific inquiry. Also, his original draft of the Declaration included a line about denouncing slavery ^{(^)}, which was pushed by the British.

The delegates made some small changes to improve the Declaration's clarity and accuracy. But they also ripped apart the last sections of Jefferson's draft, deleting about 25 percent of it. They eliminated most of his harsh language directed against the British people and totally cut out Jefferson's passionate assault on slavery and the slave trade.

I said it because he was FAR LESS racist than most of his contemporaries, and that's a provable fact.

Locke3k: So you're saying that owning slaves doesn't make one a racist bigot asswipe AS LONG AS YOU BANG A FEW OF THEM? Presumably to "make them happy"?

No, you utterly fail at reading comprehension. Strom Thurman fathered a child with a black woman, and he was still a racist SOB. But for the most part, they don't. It's a general indication, not a causality, dipshiat.

Locke3k: palladiate: I dunno. Most of the bigots I know wouldn't go around banging black women.

So you're saying that owning slaves doesn't make one a racist bigot asswipe AS LONG AS YOU BANG A FEW OF THEM? Presumably to "make them happy"?

Even slaves can benefit from orgasms. Why do you want to deny slaves the benefits of the wild thing?
