Is Hillary still even in contention for the Democratic Nomination when she so blatantly lied and got caught. I guess the answer is the guy she is running against hates the country he wants to lead and all the white people in it.

Seriously, how do you say that a guy hates white people when his own Mother is white?

because he bagged on his family more than his pastor in his interview on the pastor subject. And if you read between the lines, to me, it's fairly obvious.

We'll have to agree to disagree. I'm diametrically opposed to Obama on just about every single issue and think he would be a disaster as President, but despite his Pastor's rhetoric, I can't buy that he somehow hates white people.

It's messed up but it seems to be the way it all goes down. I mean, look at Halle Berry, it pisses me off that she won best AAmarican actress a couple years back but there was no mention of her white heritage. Her dad bailed and yet that is the race she clings to. Black people (in general) are so confused about who is for them and who is against them.

Why do I think of Rev. Jessee Jackson?

I keep telling my son not to trust whitey. I can't understand why he doesn't mind me.

Bondage is a relative term. Do you know who sold them into bondange initially?

Those Crow "rules" and weren't they were done away with. Like the speed limit...

I can't wait to read the "slavery was not so bad" argument.

Not sure where you are going with that. My point is that it's no wonder that African Americans aren't so quick to place their trust given their history of having politicians do nothing for them.

So why do they keep re electing politicians that do criminal acts? See Marion Berry in DC (caught on tape smoking crack in a hotel room with a hooker and elected to city council when he got out of jail)

I agree that the Marion Barry situation was completely outrageous, but it's not like there have never been any corrupt white politicians that kept getting re-elected. See the state of Louisiana for the past 100 years.

Beat me to it...

But still, there comes a point when you have to look at people on an individual level and not on a racial/superficial level in order to make judgements about them. Blacks are probably the most guilty of doing that than anybody today.

Glad I'm not the only one thinking that. I read that post and had visions of a guy in a field chopping cotton thinking "This really sucks . . . but my ancestors got me into this, so it's all good."

Well, it's no secret that there were blacks active in the slave trade and it's also no secret that that present day slavery is being perpetrated in many African nations.

In my opinion, it's wrong to hang the slave trade of the past on present day white folks. The sooner the African American community ceases to use it as a chip on their shoulder the better off we'll all be. The same goes for Jim Crowe. While I'll never be able to understand what it's like to have to sit in the back of the bus, not be able to vote, and have separate water fountains, I can comprehend that carrying a grudge against somebody who did nothing to you, personally, is destructive.

I think you missed what the outrage was about. You have a legitimate point about misdirected anger and what not.

The problem was with the comment that "bondage is a relative term".
