Richard Trumka on Obama and Race

[dgl1962]

Trumpka is a big mouthed, economically clueless union bonehead who stands for nothing but the continued enslavement of non-union US taxpayers to union thugs using their democrat abettors in congress.

I laugh every time that I see the union membership rates drop another point.

Shitheads like this can't stand on their good work, they can only coerce corporations into hiring them and keeping them employed.

4 /4

From Obama’s speech in San Fransico:

"You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them," he said.

"And it's not surprising, then, they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations,"

3 /4

From Obama’s Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the {Muslims} should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.' page 261.

2 /4

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father: ; 'It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.'

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father:

I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, Dubois and Mandela.'

1 /4 Obama’s Anti-American sentiment.

.

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father: 'I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating> myself to whites.'

.

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father: 'I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mothers race.'

.

From Obama’s Dreams of My Father: 'There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.'

Richard Trumka you have good judgement and you speak straight to the point.

How does God view racism? If one find themseleves on the wrong side of the fence opposing God, then u have a problem, so the next question should be-What r u going to do about it?

[Dawwwn09]

More white people should take this kind of stance. White people have to get the message out to one another about race.

[tonyfears]

Look Obama is half white. Or does the one drop rule apply that shouts if you have one oz. of black blood in you then are black! If you think that then check your family tree bro.you may be surprise. Over 90% of African Americans have European Relatives because of the slave trade.

[nognilk]

rhetorical question:

Why is it that if you have one oz of black blood, you black. What if you have one oz of white blood...are you veiwed as white?

[tonyfears]

You think your white but you could be black..oh! Dont know ha! Got you thinking outside the boxes could you be ¼, 1/3, 1/2, black? OH! And by the way raciest withes people made that rule!

[tonyfears]

Obama is a brilliant man thats running for president ..if you care more about is skin color then you need to check your values system.

Go Obama 2008!

Its sad but even after all evidence of republican lie campaigning and all mccains antics there are some american who just dont get it and still will support republican rule. so sad but we still have one of the racist countries in the world :(

[GUTTERCOMEDY1]

this is great

[billionaireby16]

It's sad... But Ted Sorensen, JFK's Campaign Manager & Speech Writer, said that if Obama were white he'd be up by 30 points...

Well... Ted... He may not win by 30 points.... But he will win by 10 points....

Obama 08 BABY!!!

"The truth is that if John McCain were any closer to big business he'd be listed on the New York Stock Exchange." Great!
