I feel like he said this because many white people are trying to deny this man the Presidency.

Many, many people have pulled conspiracy theories out of their arse just to make people become crazy. Those that are saying he was not born here, he never went to college, he is a muslim, he is the ant-christ and the lotto in XXXXX, Mississippi came out to be 666 the day he was elected, he's Malcom X's love child, he's denying his white side, he took a dump in Pakistan so therefore he's pakistani, blah blah blah, all these people are white people.

Embracing what's right is to show that this man has ran a successful campaign, got the youth on borad, shattered racail barriers, has been vetted by the government, and has now become the POTUS, the respect that he deserves.

A lot of white people are being sour grapes.

I can be sure that no black people were not making crazy stuff up about bush until after he delcared war, and until after Hurricane Katrina.

Perhaps you should ask yourself the same question.

Nobody died. It was a bet between ovcatto and sanrene on the outcome of the election. Ovcatto won.

It was outdated and in bad taste....

But because of his age and his history with the civil right movement, I myself am letting it go.

If you lack skills in cultural proficiency you have no clue what in normal phrasing etc.

With victory comes the fruits of that victory. Some have been banished with their pride shredded perhaps to return one day. Perhaps they have returned with a changed name. Others are now basking victoriously in the sunlight of that great spirtual leader Martin Luther Tee Hee.

I'm Asian and this speech is VERY racist against whites and Asians. Imagine if a white pastor said its time for "blacks to work and not ask" or for Hispanics to learn the language of America.

I don't think blacks should be asked to give back. The truth is the opposite. They should perhaps "work" and "not take".

The brown can stick around if they are citizens or have green cards.

There was absolutely nothing wrong with what the Reverend said.

It was all in good fun, and just an attempt to make everyone smile.

And for many of us, it did!

Some people are just way too uptight about everything.

And some Republicans are simply looking for every possible way to find fault with Obama.

They even try to hold Obama accountable for words that came out of someone else's mouth.
