The Hypocrisy is showing
America has some very hypocritical people. You claim that what Rev. Wright said was hate but was it really. Is it a far stretch to think that the US has used Blacks for testing? http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0762136.html And is it so wrong to say that you weren't proud of America at a moment. It is like a child, You love them but you are not always proud at there decisions. How is it hate when we still live in a country that still mistreats blacks because of a few idiots. The reality is we live in a time period where blacks, whites, hispanics etc are doing so many different things that are crazy to themselves and each other. Also, to say that America's chickens were coming home to roost isn't a crazy thought. When we bombed Kosovo, how many women, children and innocent people died for the greater good? That isn't to say that what the terrorists did was good but the reality is that they thought we were the enemy.
Then to judge Obama because of his pastor just further shows hypocrisy. How many people who are passing judgement have ever heard a WHOLE sermon? How many of you have listened to racist, sexist and obnoxious remarks from friends? If you are white, how many black jokes have you heard? Did you stop being their friend or did you continue to talk to them about things they were knowledgeable about? At the end of the day what Rev. Wright said may not have been politically correct and it may have been an emotional response to some of the travesties that has been brought against blacks in America but the reality is that people won't see that. In White America, you live with privilage. Now that is not to say that things are a walk in the park but it is significantly easier. Then why is it wrong to tell blacks to unite, especially when we live in a country that is still very much rude and obnoxious to blacks. It's okay that people have country clubs that turn their noses up at blacks, Its okay for people to hang nooses, Its okay to wave the confederate flag even though it is a blatant reference to slavery. Its funny because people talk about hate as they judge my husband because he is a black man, they assume that he is doing something illegal, he gets pulled over in certain neighborhoods because he looks like he doesn't belongs but Rev. Wright is the one filled with hate....Hmmm, I don't think so but in America where delusion rules I guess that is the backwards thinking we would rather promote.
Then to say that because his middle name is hussein and he is muslim is a reason not to vote for Obama is really just the icing on the stupidity cake. If you don't like his platform then don't vote for him. If you think he won't do a good job then don't vote for him but really look at the person. We live in a time period where we trust every thing we read on the internet, or hear on the news instead of spending anytime looking for ourselves and trusting that change can happen, we would rather continue in a downward spiral. We look for any reason not to like a person. But how can we expect anything different when this is the same thing we do to everyone. We judge, and mistreat each other without taking the time to get to know a person. Then as a society we have the audacity to get upset when people aren't perfect and don't have perfect friends. Well do You?
