Gop

Look at this fool. She is a nutcase. What a load of worthless garbage. Shame on her!

Addressing the Republican convention would be in the true spirit of "reaching across the aisle"...  republicans have been doing it for years and it would be a welcome change.

About time.  After the ‘08 elections, we won’t need Joe anymore.   If the Republicans can stand him, they can have him.

Americans ARE ready for Obama. He WILL be the next president. His policies will be no great breakthrough. But…his presence in the whitehouse will be.

If you want to fear this guy…fear his politics…NOT his race… OR his church.

And why would an African church in the U.S. not recognise America’s racism?  Excluding historical American racial history for a moment, are you forgetting that Africans were not allowed by law to even learn about Christianity until long after reconstruction?  Africans were not allowed to read, including the Bible.  Even after reconstruction, Africans were barred from attenting White churches until well into the 1970’s.  I remember, I was there and have had the experience of being told I was not welcome at an all-White church in NYC.  I had to find a "Black" church were I was accepted. 

To ignore this history is revisionist and dismissive of the history of traditional Europocentric racism.  There is nothing anti-American or anti-White in what this church teaches.  The U.S. has a long and sorry history of violent anti-Indigenous and anti-African bias, so it would be foolish to think that the theology of a people subject to such repression would not reflect this history and experience.  If White American racism and genocide did not exist in the first place, such ideologies let alone churches would never have developed because their would have been no need.  And to suggest that such attitudes and practises have ceased is to callously deny the obvious.

Americans are ready for a black president, but not this one,. He himself is all about skin color. He sat in church for 20 years  that was all about race.
