He told the press that, yes.

The real issue here is that Obama ever had a spiritual advisor. That’s the scandal here. That it was Reverend Wright is here nor there.

Hell, any non obsequious African American hates whitey in your eyes so that’s no big deal.

It's already in this thread, twice. The Snopes link, and New York Magazine link.

No, the problem was Wright's 'Hate Whitey' belief system.

On a "Hate Whitey" platform, of which most of his voters were ignorant. Make you feel better?

Even in parting, Obama commissioned a 'Kill Whitey' artist to compose his portrait for the Smithsonian.

Again, your teachers would be very sad to find out that you think that's what this quote means.

It’s sort of a play on the ‘kill whitey’ thing,” Wiley said in a 2012 interview with New York Magazine. The operative word is “play.” What is all too easy to miss on a cursory glance is the deeply conceptual nature of these works.

Claiming that the artist advocates killing white people is quite simply a lie.

Obama should have known better than to go with this artist or his handlers should have known. Obviously the artist's background and portfolio would come out...or did he think no one would care??

Although one might be able to argue it's 'art' and has deeper meaning, one could also argue the painting has a more insidious 'face-value' message as we see on this board.

The painters past work struck me as work that should have plainly rendered this artist an inappropriate choice.

Playing Devil's Advocate...I guess people can raise up their confederate flags back since it's all open to cultural interpretation and who cares what a large percentage of people might feel about it?

"Killing whitey" (artist's own words) is a lie? How so.
