Oh please. With such a silly statement, you have disqualified every single politician in America from the presidency. Do you honestly believe McCain hasn't appointed intolerant individuals in his campaign? Look at his association with Jerry Falwell for starters.

Yes- to point out the total stupidity of the game (which could be played with McCain, Romney, Bush, Reagan, Clinton and anyone else in modern history). Obama has rejected Wright's comments. Get back to me when he endorses them.

It's worse that McCain would speak at those universities because of their hateful views, than it is that Obama associates with a man who is just as bigoted because there's no proof that Obama didn't realize what a bigot Wright is? How could he not know? Thanks for the laugh. It helped to ease the tension.

As the facts are known: Situation 1: Person knows an organization is hateful and racist, then accepts their invitation to speak and accepts the endorsement of the promoter of the organization. Situation 2: Person does not know extent of racist and hateful statements made, is affiliated with that organization, discovers extent of statements, disavows statements. Why is it so funny that situation 2 isn't as bad as situation 1? |

This was a conversation about Obama and his poor judgement and outright preveracations. I can see why you and Sooner want to change the subject.

When one says that as an excuse for why black people cannot elevate their social/financial status it is utter BS. There are a lot of poor people, including immigrants who started with no money and knowing barely a word of English, who have done quite well for themselves and their families.

I don't think it's fair to compare people who were enslaved and beaten down by jim crow laws to immigrants. Even today, whites are more likely to mistreat or fear blacks than to mistreat Chinese or German or even Mexican immigrants. |
