Separatism is NOT what MLK fought for.
This is why I have such a hard time believing Obama's "unity" claim. His books, his life, his choice of church and his wife's thesis have not shown any unity at all. Only separatism.
Truely sad.

I've read both books, I've read his wife's college thesis and I've explored any available info on him in depth. He is not what he says he is. He wears a mask.
Gave you a rep point for this. I'm more and more convinced that MLK would have nothing to do with the modern day victicrat entitlement mentality that has poisoned the black community by their self appointed "leaders". Affirmative Action is diametrically opposite of what MLK called for and is by definition very racist. Unfortunately most racists blacks get a free pass due to liberal white guilt. Hate is hate regardless of skin color and should be condemned equally.

A VERY interesting article about Obama's "separatist" views:

"Whitey do nothing about Jena?"

Im sorry....but you honestly expect me to believe a upper class Princeton graduate is going to get in front of her congregation and speak like she just bussed in from Cabrini Green?

An upper class Princeton graduate from the south side of Chicago can probably slip between two "accents" very easily.

Are you speaking from personal experience?

Yup. I didn't graduate from an Ivy League school, but I'm from the south side of Chicago. It's really easy to emulate the poor grammar and lazy speech of some of my old classmates and neighbors when I want.

Please tell me you have noticed the "cultural drawl" Obama adopts when he is speaking in front of blacks?

I have an idea!! Why doesn't someone just ask wifey if she ever "preached" at the church? That should solve the problem, right?

But seriously. If she was doing that (and I'm being real here), wouldn't it be more like "Whitey didn't do nothing about Jena" or maybe even "Whitey ain't do nothing about Jena"?

"Whitey do nothing about Jena" is improper hood grammar.
