Ask Me Help Desk - Has Obama has jumped ship early?

Wright obviously became a student of Carmichael; black power ideology and philosophy. Was he wrong?

Were Huey P. Newton, Bobby Seale, Eldridge Cleaver, Malcolm X, and the Mass protests of the 60's wrong?

Wrong or right they did not have enough muscle to change power relationships.

In the early 70's Afro-Americans like Wright then turned to putting their theories into practice: Building community organizations and creating the economic and political foundations necessary for the future, while railing against everything white.

The black liberation struggle in this country is not over; everything from violence to an appeal to conscience has been found woefully inadequate.

Such things as 'The Black Caucus and elected officials is the current method to change.

It's a fairly short read and I recommend it for anyone interested in the "Black Experience in America"

Like I asked excon, HOW we talk about racism matters, doesn't it?

Yes it does. It goes on a lot more than we think. Do you think that Hannity believes that? He ticks me off.

Try to stay in touch with reality. I've been on the subject going on a week now. Just because you have your head stuck in John McCain's tuchus doesn't mean others have to accompany you into deaf, dumb, and blatant blindness. You just went from philosophical second string bench-warmer to first string denial. Congratulations!

Hannity is a paid Fox news commentator. I don't even think he believes his own nonsense. He's making a career out of presenting himself as a narrow minded pompous and he's doing a great job at it. :cool:

Bobby

More insults, is that genetic with you or a learned habit?

I have no idea what Hannity thinks, I don't watch his show or listen to his radio program. Do you?

Genetics? A cloned monkey knows that Hannity is a paid Fox news employee that hired to provide commentary with a Republican slant. Surely even you've made far enough progress up the evolution ladder to recognize that. ;)

Yes. I have not insulted those of intelligence with an IQ minimum above room temperature. :)

Is that Jewish superiority I hear? I suppose the Old Yiddish folk saying is true… "Villains fare well in this world, saints in the next world.":rolleyes:

Are you hearing voices... again? We have a saying, "A sheivgendoiker nar is a halber chcochem." Which means, a quite fool is half a sage. Here's another, "Ver es kon kain pulver nit shmeken, der zol in der malchumeh nit gai'en." Which means, He that cannot stand the smell of gunpowder should not engage in war! And since you, an atheist, all the suddenly became interested in my Jewish heritage here's one to take to heart, "Mit yid iz gut kugel essen, ober nit af ain teller. Which means, it's good to eat pudding with a Jew, but not from the same plate. :)

Glad to see the bonding, but I'm confused as to which of you to vote for.

Well yes Bobby, as an atheist I can hardly claim God's unabashed favoritism.:p

No, no, no! Please don't put me on the ballot, I already have enough responsibility. Besides my wife just gave me orders to quit toying with DC. Time permitting I'll catch everyone later in the week. G-d bless.

I'm residing on the half of the equator that QUESTIONS things that need to be questioned, not on the half that BLINDLY BELIEVES in all that your candidate conveniently throws at you. I know you are desperately trying to cover this IMPORTANT matter up between Obama and Wright, but guess what? It Just Won't Go Away! It Can't! The American people have now grabbed ahold of it tightly and are not letting go and are going to see it to the finish! Oh, and just because Obama addressed the Republican party with his clever rhetoric and smile, you believed every word he said huh? Didn't God give you a brain with which to question independently, man? I know, you are just a blind believer in Obama. Bet if he told you that the fragrance was alluring and asked you to stick your head inside an outhouse opening, you'd ask how deep and for how long, sir. Man, that's what I call Double Blind Faith in a smooth talker!

Replace the name Obama with the name Bush in this post and you have a great description of the other half of America.

Oh but sorry, Bush certainly doesn't have clever rhetoric though does he.

Why are you so blatantly jealous? And trust me you wouldn't get elected. ;)
