Farahkan supports BO, and eventhough he's publicly said he didn't ask for Farahkan's support, Obama stopped short of denouncing it. I watched him stumble around trying to answer that question, the only time I've seen him flustered.

I wonder how many of you guys would still be calling for ignoring his religion if he were an avowed devil worshiper?

I have a problem with the white guilt that influences so many people's actions these days. Reason being my ancestors' actions had nothing to do with me, and I don't have any guilt at all. My great grandfather was some kind of Grand Dragon down there in Alabama, but I see no need to pay restitution for his actions.

Were blacks treated badly? Yes. What does that have to with those of us today? Zero. Nada. BTW, many of the slaves were bought with trade goods from their own tribes in Africa, so they didn't it have too keen before our ancestors showed up. Did it work out all right for them as a whole? They'd be oppressed by their own corrupt governments in Africa and/or starving instead of living pretty well here in America and playing the race card on virtually every issue that arises if the whites hadn't come along.

I'm very very sick of Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and their ilk going around aggravating race relations instead of trying to truly address the issues of black Americans. People like Bill Cosby who see what's really wrong and try do something about it get branded 'Uncle Tom' by Jesse and Al's followers. A lot easier to blame things on racial oppression than to truly try to do something about them.

The Indians got a raw deal all the way around. Once again I'm not sure what that has to do with us now, as we can do nothing about it.
AMEN BROTHER! I'M ALSO TIRED OF THE RACE CARD BEING PLAYED CONTINUALLY BY AFRICAN AMERICANS! I'M NOT SAYING THAT THERE AREN'T ANY RACIST WHITES IN AMERICA STILL TO THIS DAY...CAUSE THERE ARE, BUT IF AFRICAN AMERICANS TRULY WANT EQUALITY, THEN WHY DO THEY MAKE EVERYTHING A BLACK AND WHITE ISSUE? WHY DO THEY FEEL THE NEED TO SEGREGATE THEMSELVES FROM ALL OF US?

I HEARD A MAN TODAY ON THE RADIO, WHO WAS AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN BO SUPPORTER. WHEN ASKED THE QUESTION OF IF HE WAS VOTING FOR BO BECAUSE HE WAS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN, HE SAID....YES. HE WAS THEN ASKED AGAIN, "THE ONLY REASON YOU ARE VOTING FOR BO IS BECAUSE HE IS AN AFRICAN AMERICAN?" THE GUY ANSWERED YES AGAIN! ISN'T THAT CRAZY! TO VOTE FOR SOMEONE BASED ONLY ON HIS SKIN COLOR AND NOT KNOW ANY OTHER REASON TO VOTE FOR HIM.....SCARY!

ANYONE WHO SAYS THAT LOUIS FARAHKAN IS A "GREAT MAN", IS A RACIST (JUST LIKE HIM), AND EVERYONE THAT SUBSCRIBES TO HIS PHILOSIPHIES (BO) WOULD NEVER HAVE MY VOTE!
