Morris W. O'Kelly: African Americans Must Shoulder Blame…
I purposely avoided the whole Rev. Jeremiah Wright controversy because frankly I thought it was pile after pile of pure, smelly, smudge-on-the-concrete B.S.
After the Wright sound bites played over the air thousands of times and was embedded all over the blogosphere (and as far as I know could be the background of a new FreeCreditReport.com commercial) it became kind of clear that it had nothing to do with Barack Obama's presidential candidacy.
But even though my reaction to Wright himself is to just shrug my shoulders, I wonder what if Obama's reverend was someone really worth scrutinizing. So without further ado, I present to you the Rev. James L. White!!!
Damn, that Richard is funny!!!

Just think, most of the candidates had to pay for air time. Obama got hours of coverage with the Networks playing the Rev. Wright advertisement over and over again. That's right, let the Networks

Most of the candidates had to pay for the Networks to advertise. Thanks to CNN, FOX and the others for playing the Rev Wright issue over and over again, Obama got his face on the National Networks for FREE. There is nothing like free advertisement.

It dawned on you that Rev. Wright's devicive views and teachings have Obama's Presidential campaign huh?
Obama's long standing membership, attendance, moral and financial support of Wright shows MUCH about his character and belief system. Of course you want to down play it. You've got 90% of black voters voting for Obama simply voting based on color or on sentiments that are aligned with Wright.
It's so hypocritical and funny to watch the defense of Obama unfold. If a candidate of another race was a long standing member of an organization such as David Duke the candidate would have been run out of the race altogether. Black leaders would be screaming bloody murder to have him removed. Yet, a black man following another black mans devicive teachings is A-OK with the black community.
TYPICAL!

This whole exercise only proves how BI-POLAR this society really is! We believe or do we that all men are created equal, but we rank them by class and discriminate by race!This exposure will show the world how fair and just or how hypocritical we really are! May God bless America by giving it what it needs but not deserve!

It is so hilarious that so many people think that Rev. Wright preaching hatred for whites and for the US is "not a big deal." I guess you all think that his intense hatred for our country makes Obama the best candidate. After all - Obama has been Wright's STUDENT for 20 years. BY CHOICE!!!!!!! Is it a big deal that Obama launched his political campaign at a terrorists house? Yep - he had his "coming out" party at William Ayers house - the guys who bombed the pentagon and other federal bulidings back in the 70's... Brush that one off too... Yeah - it is no biggie... Obama must just like terrorists and people who despise America. He's a GREAT choice for President.

I didn't need to go through the stupid clip and didn't find this damn funny! It is a shame, to even joke about the Rev. Wright issue and play this stupid You Tube clip as a JOKE! People are trying to get over the Rev. Wright issue and here this is? Just like Ombama would say "And here this is". That's what is wrong with this country, instead of focusing on FUNNY and IGNORANT THINGS, WE ALL NEED TO FOUCS ON THE MOST IMPORTANT AND CRITICAL ISSUES WE ARE NOW FACING IN AMERICA.
I'm sure, there are other IMPORTANT ISSUES to write besides this crap!

TJ,
White folks do not have an agrument if Blacks want to vote for an interracial nominee.. Black folks has always voted for White men now they feel a change would be best for them and yet all you can think about is your own white ideology.. We all could have voted in JBien, BRichardson, Edwards but you didn't now u want to blame black people because they have made a choice just as you have done...Oh the icing is on the cake now 95% white american's voted for Hiliary Clinton in WVA. Go figure...
TYPICAL

For Typical,
You've exagerated the situation in re Obama. Moreover, by your logic you'll vote of Hilary or McCain simply because they're both white. Don't deny it. To compare Obama to David Duke is an insult and reveals your ignorance and/or lack of education. David Duke is an avowed, widely acknowledged racist. of this there is no doubt. Obama had the misfortune to be a member of nutty Jeremiah Wrights congregation until he learned Jeremiah had gone off the deep end.
Finally, I get a real kick out of those who cling to the notion Obama is black. Remember, the man's late mother is white. Before spouting your irrational logic criticizing blacks and blacks who are not singularly black. Please think?
