I think we can all recall the campaign when Obama described his mother as a "typical white woman". This being the woman who chose to raise him while his mother was too busy being a Marxist activist and welfare queen. That disrespect is all I need to know about Obama's thoughts on race relations.
You HAVE to be joking. Another example here folks of the sheep at work.
Nope. Those were the quotes in full context. The quotes that have been posted around the net in Conservative Chain e-mails are intentionally misleading. That's all there is too it. There's no bias. There's no willful blindless from anyone but...you, obviously. What you said shows it...
Obama's grandmama was white. His moma was white. I am sure that it isn't the easiest thing in the world, at least in terms of dealing with your own identity, and in the context of how you are viewed in this society, when your genetic pool is half white and half black. Overall, I think he has done a good job with it.
I actually could feel for the dude. He was involved with a woman who happened to be white. He could not connect fully with her, and he attributed it to race. Probably bs, but a young person makes many excuses. He was no more black than white but society forced the issue and he went along. Not admirable, but understandable. For what it is worth, I think it was a racist sentiment, but who can really say who a person should choose for their soul mate. My intuition suggests that race was an excuse for a deeper incapatibility.
I was in love with a Swedish woman once. Stellar person. But she was from a wealthy European family, me from a working class American one. It was doomed, and I knew it. I broke it off first, but she would have eventually. But I loved her nonetheless, although I knew we were not right at some level. I still have not figured out what it was, because she was truly wonderful, but not the right one for me. This story reads the same way. I think his judgment reads of racism, but perhaps it was just a young man's judgment call in a confusing time. Such is the ambivalence of youth. Now he has Michelle and two lovely daughters, all of whom he seems to love earnestly. What is the issue here?

Better yet...how about his resignation as of 2/2/2011!
Let's see, this premise of this thread was shown to be wrong.
The comments were purposely taken out of context by faux.
Yet, you call for Obama's resignation.
You realize that you post makes you look partisan and hateful of a duly elected president.
But don't let facts get in your way.

The posts just keep getting worse in this thread. Marxist activist and welfare queen? LOL...oh well, it's getting about that time.
Oh my god. What tripe. Obama-haters never cease to amaze me with their bizarre allegations and theories.
