Reverand Wright/obama

Did he say this, outside of ordering some for his soup?? I must have missed something.

Bull Connor was a member of the kkk,who else was he referring too?Can whites call Obamas preacher and congregation racial slurs or is it a double standard?

" HANNITY: Karl, that's another point. And the church gave a lifetime achievement award to Farrakhan here too. I spent some time this weekend going over the book "Dreams of My Father." On page 229, these are Barack Obama's words, "there were no cigar chomping crackers like Bull Connor out there." Those are his words. The church has deleted the black value system from the website. But going back to the same book, page 284, he called the black value system "a sensible heart-felt list." "

Are you really on here defending the integrity of KKK members on here?? I would call him worse than that. You have to get better than that to get my attention. Am I supposed to feel sorry that an outspoken member of the KKK got called a name??? Especially when he is guilty of being a "cracker." The word cracker, as an ethnic term used by african american and decendents of slaves, refers to the slave labor drivers that used whips (whip cracker) to enforce labor. Throughout literature in the last 150 years it is used as a term for anyone that still held onto the hate of african american and slave descendants. Now if he referred to all whites as "crackers" that would be racist. But referring to a member of the KKK as this is historically and literally correct. That is your free american literature lesson of the day.

I am not defending the integrity of racist kkk members no more than i'm defending the racist followers of Wright.You are the one defending racist views not me.

If its ok to call white racists "crackers",what do we call black racists?
Racial stereotypes serve blacks no better than they serve whites,would you please quit making excuses for Obama belonging to a racist organization for almost two decades and using racial slurs and stereotypes like "Typical white person".

Ok, you convinced me - I am not voting for Obama!!!!LOL

You still haven't brought anything to my attention that shows Obama as being a racist. Sure, his preacher is nuts, but not Obama.
I am not making excuses for anyone. That is the republicans job when it comes to Bush!

Just curious if any of you have heard the entire sermons from which these "snippets" were taken? I agree from the little I hear it sounds shocking, but I was wondering if the entire sermons have been heard, and how these short clips came from the context of the entire sermon. Once again, i am not defending Rev. Wright, but I would like to have all of the facts before I pass judgement.
