I don’t need Obama, the good shepherd, to lecture me on race. I mean, I live with a sense of history, and with a sense that racial equality is a sensitive issue about which I have to take a proactive moral stand to keep things moving in the right direction - unlike Obama and his wife and Wright and Farrakan and Sharpton and Jackson...but with no sense of racial guilt. If Obama wants to cash in on slavery and oppression then he must tell the whole story: free Blacks owned slaves. Africans owned other African slaves. Africans and all other people sold their own into slavery. Children and women are still sold into sexual slavery and labor slavery and I don't see Obama righting that wrong. Slavery is the problem and the guilt of ALL people. Blacks are not innocent of that immoral tragedy. Obama never tells things as they are - he's an equivocator, like Bill Clinton. As Boston Globe columnist Jeff Jacoby noted, "When Don Imus uttered his infamous slur on the radio last year, Obama cut him no slack. Imus should be fired, he said. 'There's nobody on my staff who would still be working for me if they made a comment like that about anybody of any ethnic group.'" So when an issue suits his purpose, Obama seizes it and when an issue doesn't serve his purpose, Obama's moral and ethical guideline disappears. He had the same problem with Rezko. The Obamas had no problem dealing with a criminal when the Obamas profited - that mansion they own was just too good to pass up to let ethics get in the way.
Slavery was everywhere - white people didn't invent it so any incomplete discussion of it is unworthy of a candidate who self-presents as above it all - morally superior to everyone else even though he condoned Wright's racist ugliness by sitting through those sermons and exposing his daughters to that vile garbage. Obama thinks Americans are fools and blind. We are neither and we don’t see Obama the way he sees himself, primarily because that image doesn't exist. His hope is hopeless when he crushes it with his false self.
What little institutional racism there is - and not just against Blacks - exists in airless pockets where public scrutiny has not yet found it. When it's found, it's crushed as it should be.
The race card that Obama plays isn't valid anymore and white guilt doesn't exist. Americans owe no one their votes and especially not because of the color of their skin or their gender. Obama and Clinton are both pathetic in their attempt to make either any part of a presidential bid. Americans care about policy and truthfulness and honor and love of their great country, not the pitiful, contemptible, paltry attempt to garner our votes through pity and supposed righting of injustice. Obama and Clinton are shams and should be embarrassed by their falsity. Their failure to be so supports their emptiness and dangerous self-centered ambition.
