Obama’s message, HOPE. What “HOPE”?

After recently watching presidential campaign videos, I stumbled across the well publicized Barack Obama-Oprah rally in Columbia, South Carolina. It was shocking to see the way Obama handled himself. I have heard and watched Obama in front of crowds, but this time in front of a predominately African American crowd, Obama totally changed his accent, his dialect and his annunciation of words, and was preaching to them, in a way he has never spoken publicly before, to appeal to them. Well known African American preachers preach in a certain accent and dialect to their followers, which Obama was doing. Obama was literally changing his accent, which was astonishing to see. We are talking about a U.S. Presidential candidate here, changing himself, in an anti-American way.
This is evident that Obama is quite bluntly a racist and a hypocrite. Obama, the candidate who is full of “hope” and a “one America” is the candidate who is doing the exact opposite. By speaking in the slang way he did in front of the African American crowded stadium, Obama showed just how divided he sees America, as he changed himself to appeal to his rally attendants. Quite simply, how can Obama unite and change America, when he himself divides the country into race by treating races differently? As a twenty year old student (Obama’s strong support group), Obama proved that he inherently is not for change, as he acts and talks one way to groups of people, but then puts on a show for others. Obama is trying to convey to America a bipartisan candidate, while his actions prove otherwise. America stands for equality! A vote for Obama would be a vote to segregate America, as he has done himself.
