OK, Sen. Obama, Let's Have the Race 'Talk'

In his Big Speech defending his 20-year membership in a church headed by a racist, anti-Semitic, sexist, conspiracy-believing pastor, Democratic candidate Barack Obama says America needs a frank "talk" about race.

For crying out loud, we talk incessantly about race! Pick up a newspaper — any newspaper — or turn on cable news and wait a few minutes. Race — usually something about how blacks feel, how blacks think, how blacks and whites see things differently, yada, blah, etc. — comes up.

Obama's plea reminds me of one of my "talks" about race — this one more than 30 years ago. Back in college, I dated a young lady whom today I would call a "victicrat."

One day she came back from her sociology class. "We discussed race today," she said cheerfully, "and boy, did they get an earful." She then proceeded to tell me how she attacked "the white boys" for slavery, Jim Crow and the "continued oppression of blacks."

When I called it unfair to condemn her classmates for oppressing blacks, she said, "That's what they said, too, but we let 'em have it."

I then said, "What's so amusing?"

"What do you mean?"

"Your smile. You sure look like you're having fun. Turn around. Look in the mirror."

She turned and looked in the mirror hanging on the wall. Her expression
of joy even surprised her.

"You really like putting down white people," I continued. "What, is this some sort of payback for slavery?"

We argued into the night. I saw an America full of promise and hope, and she saw only barriers with little sign of improvement.

Obama's pastor, Jeremiah Wright, similarly seems downright joyful in attacking America, blaming the government for AIDS and drugs, and attributing the Islamofascist attacks of 9/11 to America's racism.

Wright believes that, in the year 2008, it remains hard out there for a black guy. So, too, do many members of the media, who called Obama's speech a "refreshing" call for a dialogue to deal with the "chasm" and "divide" between America's blacks and whites.

But consider the "talk" about race by former slave turned educator/author Booker T. Washington in his book "Up From Slavery" — written in 1901, a mere three and a half decades after the end of slavery:

"I used to envy the white boy who had no obstacles placed in the way of his becoming a Congressman, Governor, Bishop, or President by reason of the accident of his birth or race.

I used to picture the way that I would act under such circumstances; how I would begin at the bottom and keep rising until I reached the highest round of success.

Are you telling me you never cursed GD taxes in America?



Lets take Rev Hagee to task shall we?  This man wants to foment war [killing American troops] in Iraq and Iran to bring Jesus back to earth, which will result in the death of 2/3rds of the Jewish people so Hagee can be saved, Now, I ask you is that not hate? Is that not selfish?



BTW your understanding of semite seems to be skewed. An Arab [Muslim] is a semite. The name semite [Shemite] comes from the name of Noahs son Shem.
