Update: March 23, 2008

Do you know who Bill Clinton called for spiritual advice during the Monica Lewinsky fiasco? It was Jeremiah Wright and Jesse Jackson, among others. Did Hillary secretly give this information to the “right”? I don’t think so.

Why do you think this is happening? Is it because of race or ethnicity?

Hillary Clinton Schedules Show Drop in Policy Role

Hillary Clinton Schedules Show Drop in Policy Role – Yahoo! News

Does Hillary really have a foreign policy agenda? Has she really had an active role in her husband’s administration as President of the United States? I don’t think so. It appears that Hillary is trying to “bamboozle” her way into our hearts telling us she has more foreign policy experience than Obama.

Obama Defends Wright’s Anger

Chicago's 560 AM WIND

The Obama Speech

“We have a choice in this country. We can accept a politics that breeds division, and conflict, and cynicism. We can tackle race only as spectacle as we did in the OJ trial or in the wake of tragedy, as we did in the aftermath of Katrina or as fodder for the nightly news. We can play Reverend Wright’s sermons on every channel, every day and talk about them from now until the election, and make the only question in this campaign whether or not the American people think that I somehow believe or sympathize with his most offensive words.

“We can pounce on some gaffe by a Hillary supporter as evidence that she’s playing the race card, or we can speculate on whether white men will all flock to John McCain in the general election regardless of his policies.

“We can do that.

“But if we do, I can tell you that in the next election, we’ll be talking about some other distraction. And then another one. And then another one. And nothing will change.

“That is one option. Or, at this moment, in this election, we can come together and say, “Not this time.” This time we want to talk about the crumbling schools that are stealing the future of black children and white children and Asian children and Hispanic children and Native American children. This time we want to reject the cynicism that tells us that these kids can’t learn; that those kids who don’t look like us are somebody else’s problem. The children of America are not those kids, they are our kids, and we will not let them fall behind in a 21st century economy. Not this time.

“This time we want to talk about how the lines in the Emergency Room are filled with whites and blacks and Hispanics who do not have health care; who don’t have the power on their own to overcome the special interests in Washington, but who can take them on if we do it together.

“This time we want to talk about the shuttered mills that once provided a decent life for men and women of every race, and the homes for sale that once belonged to Americans from every religion, every region, every walk of life. This time we want to talk about the fact that the real problem is not that someone who doesn’t look like you might take your job; it’s that the corporation you work for will ship it overseas for nothing more than a profit.

“This time we want to talk about the men and women of every color and creed who serve together, and fight together, and bleed together under the same proud flag. We want to talk about how to bring them home from a war that never should’ve been authorized and never should’ve been waged, and we want to talk about how we’ll show our patriotism by caring for them, and their families, and giving them the benefits they have earned.

“I would not be running for President if I didn’t believe with all my heart that this is what the vast majority of Americans want for this country. This union may never be perfect, but generation after generation has shown that it can always be perfected. And today, whenever I find myself feeling doubtful or cynical about this possibility, what gives me the most hope is the next generation the young people whose attitudes and beliefs and openness to change have already made history in this election.

“There is one story in particularly that I’d like to leave you with today a story I told when I had the great honor of speaking on Dr. King’s birthday at his home church, Ebenezer Baptist, in Atlanta.

“There is a young, twenty-three year old white woman named Ashley Baia who organized for our campaign in Florence, South Carolina. She had been working to organize a mostly African-American community since the beginning of this campaign, and one day she was at a roundtable discussion where everyone went around telling their story and why they were there.

“And Ashley said that when she was nine years old, her mother got cancer. And because she had to miss days of work, she was let go and lost her health care. They had to file for bankruptcy, and that’s when Ashley decided that she had to do something to help her mom.

“She knew that food was one of their most expensive costs, and so Ashley convinced her mother that what she really liked and really wanted to eat more than anything else was mustard and relish sandwiches. Because that was the cheapest way to eat.

“She did this for a year until her mom got better, and she told everyone at the roundtable that the reason she joined our campaign was so that she could help the millions of other children in the country who want and need to help their parents too.

“Now Ashley might have made a different choice. Perhaps somebody told her along the way that the source of her mother’s problems were blacks who were on welfare and too lazy to work, or Hispanics who were coming into the country illegally. But she didn’t. She sought out allies in her fight against injustice.

“Anyway, Ashley finishes her story and then goes around the room and asks everyone else why they’re supporting the campaign. They all have different stories and reasons. Many bring up a specific issue. And finally they come to this elderly black man who’s been sitting there quietly the entire time. And Ashley asks him why he’s there. And he does not bring up a specific issue. He does not say health care or the economy. He does not say education or the war. He does not say that he was there because of Barack Obama. He simply says to everyone in the room, “I am here because of Ashley.”

“”I’m here because of Ashley.” By itself, that single moment of recognition between that young white girl and that old black man is not enough. It is not enough to give health care to the sick, or jobs to the jobless, or education to our children.

“But it is where we start. It is where our union grows stronger. And as so many generations have come to realize over the course of the two-hundred and twenty one years since a band of patriots signed that document in Philadelphia, that is where the perfection begins.”

Obama confronts racial division

Obama confronts racial division – Yahoo! News

Update: March 23, 2004

Do you know who Bill Clinton called for spiritual advice during the Monica Lewinsky fiasco? It was Jeremiah Wright and Jesse Jackson, among others. Did Hillary secretly give this information to the “right”? I don’t think so.

First I want to say, Black people do not have to explain anything to white people. Why is it that white people always think a black person has to explain their actions to them?

Second, let us be real clear. There is a right wing attack on Obama. The right wing agenda is by any means necessary. This is how they play it. Since Obama is such a heavy weight on their shoulders for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States and they know he will beat Mr. McCain, they will stop at nothing to discredit, denounce and embarrass him.

In the case of Obama since he is electing to be President of the United States, he does owe some explanation to the people of the United States for issues of his character and behavior, not for the character and behavior of others he has associated with in his past.

Obama gave an elegant address on the issues of Race in America. It appears that some still want to taint and destroy his reputation. Most of the radical news media from Conservative talk show hosts condemn Obama for his pastor’s voice. This is ludicrous. What is wrong with America? How can we think we can preserve liberty for ourselves, while taking it from another? How can a person be responsible for another person’s actions and behaviors?

People like Chicago’s WYLL radio (1160 AM) host Sandy Rios and radio host Sean Hannity of Hannity and Commbs will never understand the plight of the Black man. It annoys me when whites believe they can analyze a Black man’s way of life, as if they have walked in our shoes. Their voice of “white” America attacking Obama breeds contempt. Sandy Rios and Sean Hannity fueling separatism and racial divide. When in fact, America needs to address its white racism.

Sandy Rios continues to talk about how African Americans should love the United States of America. African Americans do not love America!!! Why should we? We tolerate America. Give us equality, then we can love America.

Sandy Rios talks about Mrs. Obama saying that for the first time she was proud of America like it is something wrong with her statement. Here is a hint Sandy, most African Americans feel the same way. Why should an African American feel proud about a country that has oppressed them for over 400 years? Wake up and smell the coffee. If you have not walked in a Black man/woman’s shoes, don’t try to tell us how we should feel about America.

Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s statement “God Damn America” may be the correct statement for America to wake up to the way of life they have inflicted and gave Black America. It appears America does not want to look in the mirror. The reason white racism still exist is because white America wants to say it does not exist. Racism in America, is alive and well.

If racism is not alive and well, let us get on with the business of electing a President on the issues of America, such as equal, adequate and meaningful education, employment, healthcare and world peace. If America is not a racist country, why are these two white individuals stewing this pot of making Obama responsible for another person actions and words. It appears they may have a touch of racism in their blood.

I belong to a very prominent church. My pastor is known around the world. I have been at my church for over 14 years. I love my pastor, but guess what. My pastor does not tell me how to think, feel or behave. Just because he talks about how a person should think, feel or behave does not mean that is the way I will think, feel and behave. I am not the kind of Christian who is a door mat. You cannot walk all over me and expect me to turn the other cheek. I am not the kind of follower that will follow my pastor anywhere. My pastor does not think, feel and behave for me. He thinks, feels and behaves for himself.

Obama is not responsible for Jeremiah Wright’s statements. Jeremiah Wright is responsible for his own statements. We all sit under spiritual guidance for our own personal reasons. None of us takes on the total personality of another.

Fox News carried Obama speech on March 18, 2008. The commentators for Fox News did not want Black America to hear the opening comments of a prominent “white” man about Obama. Instead of allowing the audience to here the introduction of Obama from this man, this white female and male of Fox News interrupted the programming giving their twisted perceptive of the “upcoming” Obama speech.

How should we label this act?
