Totally agree!

yeah of course and trust me there are alot of crazy old white people that want to kill blacks. i do not want my president hanging out with either side. thats a serious national security issue.

If you cannot tell the difference then you need assistance. Of course older Black people would have reservations about whites.

So your condemning racial hatred because some people have a reason to hate other races? thats condemning racism. Also Farrakhan went collage to collage preaching to our kids that our only hope is to exterminate the white race. SRly? you support that? your defending this guy? lol your a racist. but i dont care about you, its that our president is a racist.

You do realize Rev. Wright had WHITE members as well. Also, if you dont know the difference between a 60 year old Black man being angry at the way him, and his people weer treated in America, compared to the KKK who hate us for absolutely no reason at all you need to take a History course. If you got the dog shit beat out of you just because you wanted a decent place to eat, and a excellent education you would see the world in a different light. Like Rev. Wright, and Farrakhan.

Sorry if what I wrote appears out of context - I meant it in reply to someone who'd written that Obama was hesitant to mention his middle name.

Damn, YouTube! How come my replies to people's comments always seem to end up in the wrong place?!

[hankfletcher]

How many times did you hear Bush say, "Walker"?

[mrsocko551]

Lets "pretend" im a white guy that goes to kkk meetings for 20 years (i live on 79th in harlem chicago, i know that church and its the black kkk), i give speeches with people who want to exterminate the black race, and i hang out with black supremacist leaders, BUT you have no tapes of me saying the word "nigger" so i must not be racist and its impossible to even think so. SORRY but no. White, Asian, Black or what ever, people like that are RACIST.

SUPPORT REAL EQUALITY.

Kinda how you accused Obama of being a racist when he never made a racist statement. Plus, reread my comment. I mistook you for being white but I never called you a racist.

[mrsocko551]

i have no problem with a black president. those words you quoted never came out of my mouth. im not sure if you put those there because you think im white (im not lol, but it shouldnt matter anyhow)... My problem is a racist president (obama). your hyping up a black vs white war that shouldn't even exist. this has nothing to do with black vs white, its right vs wrong. i doubt your racist mind can comprehend that.
