I love father Mike.

The man is DEAD on.

He got a lot more passion and sense than many Black folks. He’s not reactive the man is PRO-ACTIVE.

He’s done so much for the Black cause than a lot of ‘paper politicians’ who just talk talk talk.

Father Mike is Grass Roots and hands on.

Eff the shady Clintons

I can

well whitey or cracker isn’t actually a racial epithet…lol

I can`t stand that *itch Hillary Clinton. Yeah I find her to be shady also. I wouldnt doubt she has something hidden under her black witch`s dress ready to try and stop Obama.

I can’t stand her FAKE azz. She is more like a REPUBLICAN than DEMOCRAT…If I could find a way to vote twice for OBAMA I will.

Father Mike thought he was doing something right by OBAMA but that’s not the way OBAMA is running his campaign. He does really talk bad about ppl..or least not yet..

clintons prob have some of these people working for them, tryin to sabotage Obama. B#tch sit down!!!

The priest was on point. I do not understand why people are not examining what he is saying critically. White privilege is quite real. America needs to really wake up!!!!!!!!!

“…and they supposedly has”

Correct that!

I don’t know why people expect non-black Americans to support Obama when they keep bringing race into his campaign.

Whitey is a funny word to me. It damn near aint even a racial one but whatever. They are gonna try and do everhthing they can to see that this brother don’t get elected. But the devil is liar! Is there any link I can go to to see the footage of the pastor?

YES WE CAN AND WE STILL WILL!

People need to stop being so sensitive, this man’s sermon was dead on and Hilarious…shouldn’t hurt Obama since his focus is not on Hillary anymore, but it is on McCain…

@ Southern Belle, go to cnn.com

HEY GIRL!

Whatever man. Barack is a fool for leaving his church. If he expects to be president he needs to have waaay more backbone than that. Doesn’t he know that his opponents are going to attack him no matter what? If it wasn’t the pastor and now church, it will be something else. He better not join another church because ANY church is or pastor is not going to be perfect enough and will be gone through with a fine tooth comb by his opponents.

MAN UP BARACK!!!!!

I know that shiesty b#tch (Hillary Clinton) has something up her sleeve…

If BO is able to become president this will be the 1st time in history that someone who is not of the majority is able to lead the majority. He will be able to change the American experience from the inside for all of us. The last thing we need is some idiots from some pulpit in the middle of Chicago giving whites a rational reason to fear Obama. Whether what they are saying is true or not, its just talk which they can say after hes president.

I’ve been writing for months on the board about the evil of white liberals and black radicals.

It was a mistake for Obama to have his management and the majority of his support comprised of white liberals. It was a mistake that Obama did not completely disassociate himself with radical blacks.

Liberal whites love to get black folks all riled up on with their psuedo message of antiracism in order to keep black people distracted and on the angry raging outcast margins of society.

Liberal whites and radical blacks are AGAINST black folks being mainstream (ie. president of the united states).

Why Obama didn’t run as a republican is beyond me.

The democrats didn’t and still don’t deserve him. The democrat establishment are only concerned with the rights and advancements of minorities who are white (white women, white poor, white gays).

I still can’t get over black folks really believed the Clintons were our friends and finally look how the Clintons have shown and given us their liberal white ass to kiss in favor of the cause of the privileged “white female minority”.

So now we want to teach democrats a lesson from the inside by threatening to stay home if Hillary steals the nomination (like she just stole invalid Michigan and Florida delegates).

Like the democrats care if we stay home or vote? They’re pissed we voted and made Obama win. And they’d be thrilled to have McCain be president if a white minority can’t be.

So now after all these years that the Clintons sat up in black churches grinning nodding and clapping along with black liberation sermons, they will now use our freedom rhetoric to paint biracial Obama and all of us as dangerous bigots.

Obama was supposed to have belonged to quiet non-descript predomininaetly white Christian church if he planned to run for president.

It is so sad that Obama was not hip to evil of white liberals and black radicals who have both historically worked with our government to drag down any black person, male, female, or group daring to climb out of the barrel of crabs.

Obama is our new day, our new race, our new politic, our new image, our new way. I am hurt but not surprised that white liberals and black radicals are trying to destroy him.

What I’m saying here may not be politically correct or hip or popular. But it is strategic and true. Obama needed to be more strategic which is hard to do when you count your enemies as friends.

Obama 2008-2016!

Yes We Can figure the way out from under white liberal domnination and black radical envy and sabotage!

@Lauren..hey baby and thanks!

This dude is found at the interracial club +((((+ I n t i m a t e m i n g l e. c o m +))))+a moment ago. He has created a personal profile to seek young and hot girls out of his race there.

If just for the sake of strategy and mocking white fear, if I were Obama I’d join the most lily white boring church in the middle of America. If I were Michelle I’d be on the lily white church bake sale committee. And then when they start asking “why an all white church” I’d flip their liberal script on them and be like “What’s your problem with white people?”. But Obama’s a little to honest and little too nice.

They can turn their backs cuz they want to be white..didn’t you know that! What they don’t realize is that YT can’t stand them either and they’re only being used!

Everything this priest said was true!!! Obama punked out by resigning from his church….I’m not feeling that at all! He looses creds on this move as far as I’m concerned.

@ L&A…Too funny..but it just might work! LOL!

Puerto Ricans are racist. Ain’t nothing new. Of course they voted for Hillary. Puerto Ricans are another enemy black folks are stupid enough to think are our friends. Now if Obama were Puerto Rican that’d be different story. Black and Brown skin is only ok for Puerto Ricans if its on a Puerto Rican.

@DADDY

DEAD DEAD DEAD…….

Obama made a good move but it might have been too late.

Its a shame that these pastors are trying to get their 15 minutes of fame (and increase their church membership) off of Obama. They know exactly what they are doing. (But I have to admit, his sermon was dead on and funny..snicker snicker).

My question throughout this whole spectacle has been, where is the black media been. The Fox News team with Sean Hannity at the head has been on point in discrediting and tearing down the little bit of character this man has. I can’t blame them becasue they are only doing what they get paid to do. I listen to Sean Hannity everday on the drive home, and the thing that I have learned about the republican conservatives it that they are constant, consistent and unrelenting in their attacks on Obama. Then during that same hour I turn to Michael Baisden, and they are talking about bullsh!t! I feel like we have been very reactive in having to deal with all of the drama surrounding the Obama camp, but the right are very proactive. Where the F@#k is the black media. Roland Martin is keeping it real, but it is not as widespread as I would like for it to be. It is going to be a slaughter in November and the months leading up to it, becasue the Republicans have had months to rest and solidify their positions. Obama and the dems will come to a bitter end and not be able to accomplish anything, because of all of the bickering and division within the party. I am saddended by this whole thing becasue Obama had a good thing going, but he will be limited to the level of the church and associations that he has had in the past.

What happened to Obama being so different? Why is he politicking? Playing the role? That’s your church! How can you quit it because of a guest speaker. Barack has heard all of this before, so why the big change now? BECAUSE HE’S A POLITICIAN, AND THAT’S WHAT THEY DO!!! They lie, steal, and cheat to get their way. And he’s proven he’s no different. He joined the church because of politics and he’s leaving because of politics. Hypocrite

Yea Puerto Rico really shocked me….I thought hey were ridin with Obama….but you konw a lot of them are Gay, so now that I think about it, it doesn’t surprise me that Hillary got the votes…

I shocked that theres still black folks here not smart enough to realize that you can’t win president of the united states while having your pastor say whatever the hell he wants. How truthfull it is does not matter. Hell.. Farakhan tells the truth, can he win the nomination? NO

No wonder Obama keeps running into so many problems.. he has simple minded idiots like some of you trying to speak on his behalf.

Do you know know that the Church members are getting harrased? Do you not know that they receive bomb threats daily? Educate yourself. Youre exactly the type of person Hillary tries to rile up against Obama because they know you dont have the foresight to understand the big picture.

Carl Winslow:

What about Tavis Smiley–he was just trying to get black people to be critical about who they stood behind. He got death threats, harassed, hell, he even had to resign from his job so it cuts both ways, that is what makes this presidential race so disgusting. Obama has the halo, Hillary has the pitchfork, McCain has lots of rest and they are ALL evil.

Sorely disappointed with Obama quitting his church. It speaks to his judgment and his ability to fold under pressure. It makes me really wonder, is he fit for POTUS?

oh, and what lovely and amazing said.

and what bird said.

This preacher playing to the crowd without understanding the implications of their actions’ is getting more embarrassing by the minute. Being from Chicago – I am really tired of Father Mike Phleger mimicking and pimping blackness… So tired I’m about to open a church in Bridgeport and declare myself a civic leader of Irish people!

COME ON BLACK PEOPLE!

agreed Lush-Us Lipps.

Can I ask you a question, why do we fall for it EVERY SINGLE TIME?

Yeah, I got to agree on this one. These clowns are coming out like roaches on a stale piece of cake and Obama trying to get elected. While what they’re saying may be true in a sence it still looking bad for Obama. Lets keep it cool until he get in!!!!

.

Father Mike is just followig in that Black tradition of preachers mixing religion and self aareness in order to uplift that community and air out our problems. What is really scaring ppl is that this dude is WHITE and he is PRIEST. This is his nihe and his platform to not only become more recognized but also help white ppl understand injustice. So for that he should NOT SIT DOWN but stand and be counted!

_____________________________________________________

the church invited the Pastor to speak, so they obviously can not be too concerned with their safety. And what does that have to do with Barack being a man of principle and of his word? He stated he was not your typical politician. He does not play the same games and pander to his constituents. This has been proven false on a couple of occasions now. So I’d encourage you to educate yourself to the ways of politicians, and realize that this man is no better or worse than the rest of them. None of them our looking out for our best interest and our all hypocrites. So don’t attempt to pigeon-hole. I don’t support any of them.

&& yes Puerto Ricans obviously did not vote for Obama and I already saw that coming? Why??…because they live in a backwards, colorist, poorly educated, and ignorant “Latin” society that perpetuates the subjugation of people of colar, the beleif that white is right and onlythey are qualified to rule and legislate, and the supression about the truth of their history which is basically that the Spanish men brought slaves to their Island to work, had relations with a majority of them as well as Indians and sired theri brown “race”. Black is black and black is beutiful but when you dont even know that you are, can you see the beauty in a black human being and can you see him as a leader???

Not really Lucy. I’ve actually met her, twice. She does have a chip on her shoulders and is quite condescending. I also read her Princeton Thesis. That’s angry too.

I do agree that as black women, we can be stereotyped as such, but in this case, from what I have observed, she is every bit angry.

Puerto Ricans didn’t vote for him for the same reasons that other Hispanics aren’t. Because of his views on immigration, amnesty, border protection, and health care funding.

i didn’t know there was a Saint Sabrina

Why MUST he apologize. He preached in the confinements of their own environment. That is like asking the KKK to apologize for calling us Jigga Boos at their monthly meetings.

She needs to get over it and grow some thick skin. the Arabic people are going to be calling her worse if she had made president.

PR I am DISGUSTED IN YOU GUYS!!!!

@ Lou in Chi

i think if immigration was really the lynch pin it is supposed to be for them, they ould vote McCain but i dont really see that happening

Why dont we just get someone like Khalid Abdul Muhammad to campaign with Obama, after all he would just be telling the truth right? We can even see Farakhan can speak on behalf of Obama and air out 400 years of injustice in detail. They could even tour across the country.

We want to “keep it real” dont we?

I agree with James 150%!!!! Obama’s opinionated, angry, militant wife has cost him the presidency. The Democratic party is so divided right now, John McCain will definitely win in November. So here we go again with another Republican in office for possibly another eight years! Thanks Michelle!

@Boston Bitty

the hispanic vote is split pretty evenly amongst the three

Secondly, Father Pleger only spoke the truth. Dont INSULT him with ‘HO SIT DOWN’ He has a civil voice which champions Black issues and has been, and remains a advocate of the Black Community.

______________________

So because it was the truth, it was the right think to do? What happend to maturity, brains and foresight?

That pastor really knows how to cater to the congregation. They still can’t see how they aren’t helping Obama at all. Its sad.

To hell with that submissive BS!!! We get a bone thrown to us and now it’s time to start acting all docile? Forget that! GOD BLESS TRINITY CHURCH!!

well, suprise suprise, I’m white, hence my name above.

And OMG, Michelle said “whitey”!!!??

Lol, Obama’s opposition is clearly desperate beyond limits right now. It’s all about the CONTEXT of wich what is said.

And let’s face it, Michelle Obama is way to intelligent and classy to say anything bad about a race of people as a whole, this is just stupid.

@ James, I disagree, are you a white female or male? You are taking another attempt to downgrade black women, making them stereotypically angry. Michelle is an intelligent woman. Not many blacks have not said that word she used. Michelle is very hard working, intelligent, and successful woman. Most half whites I have seen have historically tended to marry blacks in America. Obama is a smart man, he married a good supportive wife. And unlike other black male sell -outs he chose a real black woman.

Did you seriously just comapre the trinity church to a KKK meeting… Oh how ironic and true that really is… It’s funny.. when white people do it, they are called the KKK, but when black people do it, it’s called “church” and he’s just “telling the truth”..

Funny…

and Ms Maloy.. Id say that you are the most intelligent person on this site and thank you for those comments..

damn obama can’t even go to church no more.

btw, i have another question that noone seems to ever answer..

when obama says “yes we can” and “its our time”

who does he mean when he says “we” or “our”..

whose we, whose our… and when the folks here always say “yes we can”. who do you mean..

Do you mean democrats or do you really mean black people… I know the undertone of what is being said, but what does obama mean when he says that…

Somewhere at some point in Obama’s life he was made to feel ashamed for being biracial and from that place he embarked on a proving his blackness mission by associating with radical fools who were/are jealous of and were/are using his mainstream potential and appeal for their benefit.

Then these radical fools Obama felt he had to associate with not only used him, they convinced him that he owes them for saving his “poor lost mixed soul” and “helping find his real self”.

Damn, I’m so mad that Obama fell vulnerable to biracial self-hatred and that felt he had something to prove by associating with radical fools. Hey, most middle class and upper middle class blacks have also faced this unfortunate crossroads.

Trinity Church didn’t get Obama Editorship of Harvard Law Review. Trinity Church didn’t raise him up right and provide him with the best education, his white single mother and her white parents did. Obama’s black African father wasn’t an anti-white radical. Obama doesn’t come from this politic and why should he have to front as if he did. His unique white-black experience and falling through the cracks of oppression mostly unscathed is what made him a viable “black” candidate to begin with.

But Obama went off track somewhere along the way because he was made to feel ashamed of also being white and manipulated into not using his whiteness to his advantage.

I like Michelle Obama but she is in too powerful, too visible, and too global a position to be talking like an overzealous black panther recruit.

The term “whitey” is simply not suitable for her station, stature, and level of battle, if you will.

Now the Obama’s liberal white and radical black frenemies are having a field day tainting her and Obama by associating them with a term that is synonimous with black nationalists and black power movement, of which Obama is not the former nor a member of the latter.

Obama is a biracial man capable of relating to the struggles of all people. It is a gift he was born with. That is enough for me. He does not need to prove “his blackness” or “street cred” to be the next president of the united states.

Obama 2008!

Yes We Can with serious strategy!

Clinton is a crafty one.She probably does have a coupla’ more bullets to fire @ Obama.

What I’m trying to say is that Obama is ENTITLED, not Hillary, to the working and poor white vote. He is the son of poor white Kansas trash mom with a financial aid college degree.

No disrespect, but he is them people too and why is he not saying this, claiming this?

He actually comes from what Hillary is claiming to relate to! His poor white mama wa getting food stamps. Hillary has never seen a food stamp.

And why aren’t his white grandparents and relatives on the campaign trail with him. He was supposed to have all his white relatives on the road for him.

More strategy Obama!

Roll your sleeves up Obama!

Yes We Can but you gotta fight!

Come on, you got redneck in you,

show Hillary where you come from!

For more information on the supposed “Whitey tape” feel free to check out

I’m following the story VERY closely.

I don’t think there is even a damn tape, if there were woulndn’t she have used it by now when there were still primaries to be had and she could have wom legitimately. I think the rumor of a tape is so the superdelegates will be scared to announce on June 3rd- 4th. That way she can try to stop them from running to Obama.

She didn ot say Whitey, she said “Why’d he”. She was making a statement about the current administration’s do nothing policy. She was talking about George Bush and said’ “Why’d he ignore the victims of Hurricane Katrina?” “Why’d he take us to Iraq for nothing?” They were questions not statements.

Somewhere at some point in Obama’s life he was made to feel ashamed for being biracial and from that place he embarked on a proving his blackness mission by associating with radical fools who were/are jealous of and were/are using his mainstream potential and appeal for their benefit.

Then these radical fools Obama felt he had to associate with not only used him, they convinced him that he owes them for saving his “poor lost mixed soul” and “helping find his real self”.

Finally a mature adult with some sense.

I knew from the first time I saw the churches web site that it was going to be a mess.

I say to each his own but to state how their obligation was to Africa first was a bit of a stretch. Personally I don’t understand that!

I have never heard of or known of any African attempting to track down a descendant here in America. Yet we are always talking that motherland BS. That whole thing reminds me of the Chapples show skits ‘When Keeping it real goes wrong’. Yep we kept it real alright.

As for Michelle, well yeah she is one angry sister, and not smart enough to hide it. I always say never let them see you coming

After reading a few comments I see you folks just don’t get it. This “just keeping it real” stuff may play on the south side of Chicago, but not in the rest of the world. Your draft pick folks is flawed. He looked great in Feb., but come June we see he has bad a nee & no 3 point shot. Sorry but All the kings horses & all the Kings men can’t glue the egg shell back together.

By the way, we seem to have heard from every preacher in Chicago lately, but one???? Where is that Jesse Jackson guy? Seems strange for a guy who loves a camera as much as he does is MIA???

@ Dubya:

I don’t know why Obama latched on to her–their views are polar opposites.

______________________________________________

Are they???????????? Now think about..two cannot walk together unless they agree! He didn’t just find out what Rev Wright was about…he knew..it’s called Black Liberation Theology! Don’t get it twisted Michelle and Barack are on the same darn page. He’s just walking soft cuz he wants to be prez. I think he punked out on this church thing…go back to his race speech in Philly…”I could no more seperate myself from Trinity than I could from Black people.” (Paraphrasing)

I do agree with you that Michelle needs to chill (not for the same reason you expouse) but because this country can’t handle a strong, smart, articulate black woman. Michelle’s cut throat and amerrrikkka can’t deal with that from a black woman. She needs to chill until they get in office…then do her thang!

I did not think her thesis racist….I thought it reflected her experience.

What I do know..is Bro man better get a backbone and stick to his convictions…those whom easily blow with the wind (popular opinion) are often struck down by the wind! Cuz at the end of the day..all you got is your integrity.

Someone already said it and I agree….If his formerly broke butt can’t convince poor white folk to vote for him…..then he has a problem articulating his message. His story is their story…just sell it Obama!

I hope he wins but know this..he is not above scrutiny. This econonmy is a mess and we all need to hold these Politicians accountable!

To the chick that keeps asking who is “we” in the Yes we can…..it’s the proverbial “We” “They”!

@ Mo Kelly…yeah keep us posted on that cuz if she said it…It’s a wrap! Perhaps that’s why shady Clinton is still hanging around. Hmmmm, Hmmm!

White or not the pastor was right as was Rev. Wright. Hilly thought she was heir apparent to the presidential thrown. She really thought she was entitled. He is right when he said she wondered where that black man came from. She got the fight of her life. She only got the votes because she played the race card, the muslim card with the emails and the picture, the Rev. Wright card, the elitist card (code for uppity nigg@r), the phony tears and her jealous-of-Obama husband. Hilly was the beneficiary of hate and the crossover votes to keep Obama from winning. Obama won 11 straight and the war was on. The Clintons got dirty(ier). They, at times, really lost their minds. Obama always stayed calm. Obama should wish her well and just move on. He will be the one in power. He does not have to put his lips on ANY Clinton’s behind, after all they have done to him. How can they flip the script, now, after squalling how he is not qualified, a kid, a fairytale, a bunch of crock, not experienced, etc.? There is no way Hilly will ever be a team player. She should just go away. FARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR AWAY!

@ Dothan….you just summed it all up, in a nutshell!

till you do

the “proverbial we”. hahah can you be anymore vague than that…

what the hell does that mean.. that statement, or lack there of, was more confusing than all the people on here say “yes we can”, when they have no clue who “we” is..

So “whitey” is not racist? Its just “descriptive”? Therefore, by that logic, no one should get offended when the word “darkie” is thrown around. And where I live, “cracker”, is highly racist. Its stupid. Racism in general….

People need to leave him alone!Father Pfleger has done so much for the black community. He helps prostitutes get off the street, protest about gang and gun violence. Anything that pretty much affects the black community he is around. Truth be told he was not lying. People have gotten the black church twisted. I have noticed media puts out what they think will give good ratings instead of the whole truth.I believe they dont have a tape on michelle if they did it is probably altered. Why wait til the last minute?

GO HILLARY GO HILLARY! WOOP WOOP! HILL’S THE BEST!!!

CAN’T WAIT TO SEE THAT VIDEO!

I’M SURPRISED AT THE PUERTO RICANS! CAN SOMEBODY PLEASE REMIND THEM THE SHIPS DROPPED THEM OFF FIRST!!

AND AMERICAN PUERTO RICANS, GIVE ME A BREAK!

@ CARL WINSLOW, BROTHA ARE YOU MIXED? YOU SEEM TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THOSE OF US THAT ARE PRO-BLACK.

DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH STRONG BLACK WOMEN? MICHELLE OBAMA IS THE $HIT, AND SHE HOLDS HER MAN DOWN LIKE TREE ROOTS. IF YOU HAVE NEVER RUN FOR PRESIDENT, DON’T JUDGE OBAMA. HE IS IN THE FIGHT OF HIS LIFE RIGHT NOW. IF I, WOULDA SHOULDA IS NOT GOING TO GET THIS MAN TO THE WHITE HOUSE. HE CAN’T PLEASE EVERY ONE REMEMBER. PERSONALLY I LOVE REV. WRIGHT AND THE PRIEST FOR THERE COURAGE. REAL MEN SPEAK THE TRUTH AT ANYTIME. GOD DOES NOT CARE ABOUT AN ELECTION. THEY MAY HAVE FELT CONVICTED TO SPEAK THEIR MIND AT THE TIME THEY CHOSE. OBAMA SUPPORTERS KEEP HIM IN YOUR PRAYS. TO SILLARY AND INSANE, OH I MEAN MCCAIN SUPPORTERS, GOD BLESS YOU.

I keep hearing Michelle portrayed as an “Angry Black Woman.” Can someone break this down for me? First off, I read her thesis and didn’t find anything “angry” about it. Secondly, I’ve heard her speak, and in my humble opinion, she doesn’t sound angry at all. She’s a very strong woman, and I’m sure that’s one of the reasons Obama married her. He loves her and that’s evident. As far as the “rumored” tape, I’ll believe it when I see it. She has too much class to speak like that. JMO.

I really wonder if the “angry” label placed on her would be different if she were light-skinned with long “good” hair? Yeah, I said it. If black women are angry (which I don’t believe many of us are), it’s because we not only have to deal with the CONTEMPT of black males (which is very evident on this blog), but the world in general that labels us as diseased, loud, angry, bitter, and the rest of the adjectives.

I support Obama leaving his church 100%. Sometimes you’ve gotta move on. Hey, if he wins the presidency, he’d have to leave anyway unless he plans on living in D.C. and traveling to Chi town. He’s damned if he does, and damned if he doesn’t. Do you, Obama.

Obama 08!

@B

“problack”..

problack huh.. yet, if im prowhite, than i belong to the kkk and im a racist.. .

here in lies the problem with america…

too many hypocrites… way too many..

@ Me

That’s the point! If his message fits YOU and what YOU need and/or believe…then you’re the WE in “Yes WE Can”. “Yes we can”, is vague by nature and it works because so many people want so many different things and want to see different areas addressed, from economic issues to health care ….yet it all works under Yes We can. It allows him to sound poignant without really addressing a specific issue or issues. He’s essentially saying if you join him in his pursuit for the White House…”WE” can all work together to change Amerrrrikkka!

@ Me

Oh yeah, I did not mean to be confusing in the first post. I hope you get what I saying in the 6:29 one. Peace!

It’s funny they all criticize him for staying in that church for 20 years, when most of the people that’s b tchng has never been to church in their entire lives. This country will ALWAYS be racist, but only against black people. Barack’s campaign win or lose has exposed that to be true. Don’t forget AMERICA other countries are watching our dumb asses

@ WordtotheWise:

Don’t worry it’s just the old okkie doke….Just check out how some of the strong, intelligent black women are treated on this thread and others when they articulate their opinion in an intellectual manner. Look how folks came for Lauren yesterday on that…NAS thread. Some folks started attacking her on a personal level. I didn’t agree with everything she said…but dang that’s what the comment board is about…YOUR OPINION!

My point being: If you’re a Black Woman, smart and not afraid to let folks know it….people think you’re arrogant and label you as the “Angry Black Woman” All it means; is that your not easily controlled by the masses and men! You actually think for yourself! Trust..Michelle is the brains behind that duo….Barack is just more “poised” when it comes to speaking with the “other folk”….as he should be since he was raised in their household.

I agree, I think he loves her very deeply and they compliment each other well!

@Til You Do Right By Me…very well put!!! Thank you.

Wow! There are so many agent provocateurs on this site today.

I have a few questions…

What is a black radical? What is the origin of black radicals? What impact have black radicals had on society as a whole? Was there any harm or casualty of life loss from black radicalism?

What economic impact have black radicals had to institute any systems of power to benefit anyone, but created adversity to others?

The priest from Chicago isnt trying to get “swag”. His congregation is 98% black. He’s always advocating great things for blacks. He has been very vocal on issues like getting the cig and alcohol billboards out the black neighborhood. He’s not phoney. I dont know his story…maybe he was raised by blacks. However, he was on point.

I agree they should let Obama win the race…

@Ebony Eyes- well-said.

Again, I ask, if Michelle Obama said something out of pocket, what was it. People always talking ish but can’t back anything up.

Why are people so quick to judge? Michelle did not say “whitey”!! No what she said was:

“why’d he leave people to drown in Katrina?”

“why’d he send them to die in Iraq”? Etc

She was asking rhetorical questions about Bush’ screw-ups! You may not like Michelle but she is clearly not dumb to get taped saying something like that…

And Barack left trinity because his candidacy was making life miserable for the congregation. I mean its tough enough to go to church, a small group or whatever without worrying what people think of, how much of your private business you should share confide in etc but it was damn near impossible when everyone was paranoid that the person sat next to them was some silly faux news reporter. That mess had to stop!

@lovely and amazing

I agree and can relate to what you are saying. This is just what is happening. My friends and I were discussing this same topic. I always said he (Obama) needs to move more to the right. Leave them damn liberals and radicals alone. They somehow seem to keep Blacks in a behind by what they say and how they think. None of their asses speak for me I am an independent. I got up under that Bullsh*t long ago and what I have learned from this campaign all their rhetoric (Hillary’s Liberalism and the Black radicals) have made things more difficult in trying to change history. Just think, they have also been definite enemies to Obama’s campaign and have given republicans the information to try and destroy his candidacy. All I can say to all you desiring to run for office separate yourself from all that madness.

This dude is found at the interracial club blackcentury.com a moment ago. He has created a personal profile to seek young and hot girls out of his race there.

Thumbs up for Rev. Wright and Fr. Mike!

Thank you for your reply. I am so happy that you and your frends are also wise to the liberal racism and radical hypocrisy. I’m grateful to this election though, for exposing these fools for what they really are about. I’m still finding it hard to understand how Obama’s campaign, easily the most well thought out and executed campaign in history, did not forsee the strategic need to assert boundaries and disassociations to protect Obama. They mistook liberals and radicals for friends of CHANGE. I too wish Obama would move more to the right and stop catering to people who envy, resent, and work overtime to derail him.

GOGO, I agree with you 100%.

It’s come out today that what Michelle ACTUALLY said was “Why’d he…” because in the speech she was making, she was asking questions of Bush.

“Why’d he cut folks off medicaid?

Why’d he let New Orleans drown?

Why’d he do nothing about Jena?

Why’d he put us in Iraq for no reason? ”

The republicans are trying to spin it into “Whitey”.

Nicole, where did you find out that information? It figures the Republicans and Fox News (one in the same) would spin some mess like this.

No matter which candidate or party you support this

will no doubt be the most historical campaign in history. I only wish the belittling and hatred would end. There is no reason to down one candidate to support another. Before you so quickly attack the Clintons, do your own research and take a closer look at Sen. Obama. It’s a free country.. vote for who you think is the best person for the job, but racism is racism, no matter which side it comes from.

Take a moment and long hard look at the candidate of your choice, their work, affiliations and what they really stand for.

Please, my Black brothers and sisters, get a clue! If they have anything on Obama or Michelle, you know it will not come out until it can do the most harm. They’re not going to put it out now. They’re going to wait until Hillary is out of the race, and then they’ll have it on every station. Michelle, as well as Bill, need to fall back. Both of them has gotten bad press that hurt their spouses. I agree with those that look at Obama’s resigning from his church as the move of s politician. (I won’t say how I really view the move) I find it hard to believe that he had no idea that his Pastor said the things that he did. There are many sermons that are being circulated, and we are to believe that he wasn’t there for any of them???? Get real!!! Now, he resigns because of what a guest speaker said in the pulpit of his church…in his absence??? Sure!!! Politics at its finest!

@Ebony Eyes>>>I was at a church for 12 years. Did I agree with everything my pastor spoke about. The answer is no, but does that mean that I had to leave. Heck, if you left a church every time someone said something you disagree with, you’d never be settled anywhere. The point is Obama is running for president, not Trinity. I don’t think he owes anyone any explanation anymore. He made his point and wants to keep it moving. If he continues to focus on Trinity, he will take his eye off the prize, period, point blank. Unless I hear this supposed “whitey” remark of Michelle’s, I won’t believe it. She has said nor done anything to damage his campaign. Look, there’s always going to be naysayers no matter what anyone says. If Obama is happy with Michelle’s presence in his campaign, I say the hell with the haters. They need to fall back. JMO.

ITS THE GOP NOT HILLARY STUPID

The “whitey” tape of Michelle Obama is not true. It was started as a whisper campaign from the pro-Clinton, anti-Obama Larry Johnson. A whisper campaign is what was used to insinuate that Obama’s muslim.

Michelle Obama was speaking regarding the Bush. Larry Johnson, the sinister ass wipe who started this, would like you to hear:

Whitie cut folks off medicaid?

Whitie let New Orleans drown?

Whitie do nothing about Jena?

Whitie put us in Iraq for no reason?

But this is how you would write it:

Why did Bush cut folks off medicaid?

Why did Bush let New Orleans drown?

Why did Bush do nothing about Jena?

Why did Bush put us in Iraq for no reason?

And this is what Michelle actually said:

Why’d he cut folks off medicaid?

Why’d he let New Orleans drown?

Why’d he do nothing about Jena?

Why’d he put us in Iraq for no reason?

How Larry Johnson wants you to hear it:

Whitie cut folks off medicaid?

Whitie let New Orleans drown?

Whitie do nothing about Jena?

Whitie put us in Iraq for no reason?

This is also receiving life from the Republicans and FOX news.

Black people, you really need to be better informed. If you spend more time reading and learning the truth rather than saying dumb irrelevant mess like “first”, we would be further ahead than where we are now.

@Til you do Right By me:

Agree with your post. Thank you for your thoughtful reply!

Just because it’s Church.. doesn’t make every person ‘righteous’ their are people in Church right now.. that are skimmy.. and lying and talking mess every day of their life about others….. and in their twisted little mines .. it’s ok to do so.

@Ms. Maloy

I understand where you coming from but both candidates had previously stated they would not ask each other to be the Vice-President if either of them won. Although it would be a good move, they said they would not have the other in office. They are going for 1st not 2nd prize.

On otha ish… even tho its church and you would think that ppl would leave it where it is because its this man’s opinion and Barack had nothing to do wit what goes on in this man’s head, but mess is mess and ppl jus wanna see this man fail cuz they are afraid of change and they are haters.

Father Michael P was right on point. White folks know it. The Catholic church needs some shakin up. All it is a bunch of old dried up white child molesters who need to get a clue. White folks know Obama aint going to win anyway. When the smoke and fire clear, another old azzed white man will take the presidential seat and continue to f-ck up the country like they have been doing for the past 400 years so Obama may as well get his religious freak on.

What black person would want to run a country as f-cked up as America in the first place. White men done dragged in down into the sh-tbowl and they will expect Obama or any other black president to turn their 400 year old sh-t around in one year. I’d rather run for rulership in hell first.

I SAW THE TAPE AND WHILE IT WAS FUNNY, UMMMM IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE CHURCH, NOT A COMEDY CLUB.I DON’T KNOW WHY THESE IDIOTS DON’T UNDERSTAND THAT THEY’RE DAMAGING THE MAN’S CAMPAIGN WITH THEIR IDIOCY. SHUCKING AND JIVING IS RIGHT, THEY NEED TO SAVE THAT CRAP FOR AFTER HE WINS.

@MS MALOY-EVERYTHING YOU WROTE STINKS OF SELF HATRED. BLACK PEOPLE LIKE YOU KEEP US DOWN JUST AS MUCH AS RACIST WHITES. YOU CAN FIND POSITIVITY(AND I’M SURE BEAUTY) IN EVERY RACE BUT OUR OWN. WHY AREN’T YOU A REPUBLICAN? I DESPISE BLACK PEOPLE LIKE YOU.
