Being a critic of America doesn't make you a hater of America.

But you're an adult, right? You should be mature enough to understand this.....


I only saw one white person at this church.


YouTube - Clinton shamed by Barack Obama & Rev. Wright White Pastor

He seems to have a similar view of whites.

The whites on the cruse ships were not "morally inferior"? You know black folks take cruises too.

So any white conservative pastor in America can say the same things about blacks as a group and that's OK?

Let's try it out. "Black greed runs a world in need"

Let's try it another way. "If blacks weren't so self-centered and greedy, the world would be a better place."

Sound OK to you?

Over the last 15 years, Trinity has received at least $15 million in grants from the federal government -- in other words, taxpayer money!

how hypocritical is it to take american taxpayer money and ***** about america? maybe he should have refused american taxpayer aid if he was so down on america, and maybe obama should have thought twice before he funneled money to this church.
Yes, I read that the money was received through one of the organizations the parent organization of which is ACORN, with whom Obama claims he had nothing to do with.

this means nothing....why??
It is Obama, remember??
Obama has a different standard, if he is doing it, or has done it, or plans to do it, it is a non-issue.
