I've told you before. It's fearful, lustful, helpful, grateful AND HATEFUL, not "hatefull."

In addition, you're just as clueless about what is in Obama's mind and heart as you are about everything else, Stupid.

Spelling for you, is like card counting for Rainman. You may be completely clueless about everything else but at least you can spell.

My stepmother used to be an editor at a publishing house. She looked at original manuscripts. She was the one that got to clean up the spelling and grammar. She said a lot of great writers couldn't spell worth shit. She was married to one for 30 years.

Utterly fucking ridiculous. Not one shred of evidence that this is true. In fact, all to the contrary.

What do you get out of this? Does the thinking that Obama hates white people make you feel better about yourself or something? Seriously. What's the deal?

Pat Robertson thinks marijuana should be legalized. Does that automatically make every single person who watches Pat Robertson on TV a card-carrying member of NORML? The Mormons have got their fair share of weird-ass beliefs. Is Mitt Romney a subscriber to them all?

Obama is a black man who probably experienced his fair share of racism while growing up. Does he harbor some resentment about that? Wouldn't surprise me. Would that be normal? Absolutely. Does it translate into him hating white people? Ridiculous.

By the way, where do you get that it's "very often" mulattos who are the most hateful blacks genius? You come up with that on your own?

Hmm, interesting point. Since mulattos are by definition mixed race, does that mean most the hateful whites are also mulattos?

If not, it seems to say that the non-mulatto whites are more hateful than the mulatto whites. And the original premice was mulattos are more hateful than the "pure" blacks.

So that would mean:

Either many of the most hateful whites and the most hateful blacks are mulattos

OR

Pure whites hate more than mulattos who hate more than pure blacks.

It seems the logical belief if you believe the original premice (which I do not).

Maybe it's better--and safer--to just say all races have good folks and a few hatefilled ones sprinkled in.

Based on what he's posted in other threads he's basically the equivalent of a Nazi.

Calm down. I'm just expressing my opinion. It's my personal observation; its anecdotal. Having said that, there is a certain logic to the idea that mulattoes would have a natural tendancy to dislike whites and to embrace their black heritage while rejecting their white heritage. It's human nature.

Mulattoes are considered to be black in our society. Ask a hundred people at random, is Obama a black man or a white man. The vast majority will say he's black. But logically Obama is as much a white man as a black man. Practically speaking mulattoes socialize with black people and tend to date and marry black women. Mulattoes are seen as light skinned black people; they're not seen as dark skinned white people.

I think that mulattoes probably feel like the white community has rejected them and they consequently have a certain amount of anger about it, probably subconsciously. It's just human nature.

The basic tenant of Christianity is Salvation through Jesus Christ.
I wonder how many souls came to accept Christ during the days that Rev Wright was preaching?

Think of the contrast between Billy Graham or Joel Osteen and Jeremiah Wright. Jesus said to love one another. He said to love your enemies. I can't imagine anyone being less of a Christian than Jeremiah Wright. He says his religious views are largely based on the teachings of James Cone. Here's a quote from Cone:

James Cone, quoted in William R Jones, “Divine Racism: The Unacknowledged Threshold Issue for Black Theology”, in African-American Religious Thought: An Anthology, ed Cornel West and Eddie Glaube, Westminster John Knox Press, 2003, pp. 850, 856.
Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community … Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love.
