Do you think Obama has a black agenda? How do you think his black agenda and deep seated resentment/anger will manifest itself if he becomes President of the United States? How will his wife respond to being First Lady? I am looking towards the longterm ramifications of this situation and what it could mean for all our futures if we elect a President that views America and Americans through racist colored lenses. I do not deny that blacks have deep seated issues of resentment and anger due to their history of slavery by the white man but I am not racist... the majority of white people are not. I am against racism but I am also aware of the deep seated resentments that blacks still harbour towards whites. My concern is for the future of America and who will be the best candidate for President based on competency, knowledge and experience and who will protect the interest of ALL American's. I am afraid that Obama will only create division due to his own deep seated negative feelings and personal prejudices in regards to race issues.
Obama does not have a black agenda. You guys assume so many things with no reason to. If he wasn't the first black president, we wouldn't even be having this discussion. It's just paranoia.
By the way, I don't support Obama at all. I can't stand him.
I strongly doubt it. And even if he did, there's not much he can do about it as President.
I think he's a charasmatic and earnest candidate for President. I have serious doubts how he might do as President, but he's no racist or anything like that.
Has none of the rest of us never had a family member, an in-law, a teacher, a co-worker that wasn't racist in some way? If so -- how is it fair to expect that Obama hasn't had one racist associate?
No way is it right to pin someone else's racist remarks on Obama -- unless Obama has actually spoken racist words himself, then all this is absurd.
We sure have come far in this country haven’t we? Many white folks still don’t like that black man speaking up, even if it’s in a predominantly black church.
I can see the racism, and it sure isn't coming from Obama or Wright.

Well, since I have seen no evidence to support this, I would have to say no. What's you evidence, that he is half black? The words that somebody else said?
I've been reading this article about his mother, and she sounds like she was a very creative, idealistic person--and certainly not a bigot. “She gave us a very broad understanding of the world,” her daughter said. “She hated bigotry. She was very determined to be remembered for a life of service and thought that service was really the true measure of a life.” Many of her friends see her legacy in Mr. Obama — in his self-assurance and drive, his boundary bridging, even his apparent comfort with strong women.

After listening to Rev. Wright's sermon I think we are justified to be concerned about having a President that was a loyal member of Rev. Wright's church for 20 years and regards the Rev. as one of the family. Obama confesses that he has never heard this type of "hate talk" from the Rev. before... give me a break. He did not strongly denounce Rev. Wright either as CNN claims... more bias reporting. Paranoia is the tactical word that others use when they want to divert attention away from the real issue by placing the blame on those making a claim that is credible... in other words they just want to make everybody think that your perceptions are distorted and crazy. People can make their own judgements and conclusions. I think they will probably come to the same conclusion... Obama will be a problematic President and we certainly don't need anymore problems.

I wouldn't hang out with racists friends. If you hang out with losers you will become a loser were the words of the school principal when my son was 8 years old. Would you hang out with drug addicted people just for fun?

You call that speaking out!!!!! That was racism. Sure if I a white person would have said similar things about blacks Al Sharpton would be all over me, and this time it would be right for him to do so, so why is it never racism if black people make statements about white people. Is it a wimpy additude that can't handle it.
All Obama has created with running for president while he is related to all these bad people, is that there is more talk about racism than ever before and not for the good.
