Get over it. He's being criticized. So there is no double standard.

There is a double standard against Obama. Why is he constantly asked about race? Why does he have to give a speech about race when McCain does not have to explain Hagee's anti-Catholic rhetoric?

jipoku,

I was just commenting on the guy on the right saying something that Wright said and you have to take in context. Just gets me when someone is telling me what someone else said that we all clearly said. At times you get a like this tells me what Obama was saying about what Wright was saying. I'll have to tune in later so someone can tell me waht this guy is saying.

[jipoku]

No one disputes that what Wright said was insensitive and wrong. If we took all the politicians and celebrities to task for appearing on Imus show, this would be the equivalent of debateing Obama based on what Wright said. Wright does not have a

I was just going to say you are right and leave it at that. Well in fact I will be the biggest man on the internet and do that. You are right! Lets just see what the future holds. Obama, McCain, Clinton. None worth arguing over. Peace.

Someone please explains the context here:

In Pastor Wright's words:

"One 18-year-old white girl from Alabama gets drunk on a graduation trip to Aruba, goes off and 'gives it up' while in a foreign country, and that stays in the news for months!" he added. "Maybe I am missing something!"

Only thing Natalee Holloway "gave up" in Aruba was her life.

It's also printed in the August 2005 edition of Trumpet Magazine, a publication of his Trinity United Church of Christ.

Google it.

Don't you know you have to put "nappy headed ho's" in context. Was he speaking for himself, or was he jive talking and emulating a brotha'.

[jipoku]

I don't think that Roland martin was making a personal attack against you. Did he mention your name during the broadcast?

It was a racist statement. But was there a similar debate about McCain when Hagee's anti-Catholic comments came to light? No.

I want to hear about the candidates' plans for the future and do not want to have to be subjected to every comment that everybody the candidates have known for the last 50 years.

Talk about context zadonix wtf does liking Jimi Hendrix have to do with anything that was being said. Did I say I hate blacks or something? I didn't. Learn how to read. I don't know why I am even responding to you as you are obviously retarted.

[zadonix]

Lmao @ kyuss4me:

This is coming from a spineless lame wuss who onviously worships Jimi Hendrix -- an undeniably black man. Dude, you really ought to get some psychological help. I feel sorry you you and your kind.

[conasto]

yes roland martin always seem to sort through these issues perfectly. How YOU doin don?

[kyuss4me]

My point is when Martin argues if Wright's comments about Italians are biblical or in modern times. What difference does it make, it was a racist statment. He tries to belittle me by saying that I have a misunderstanding of faith. Secular standard, or biblical standard, what the f does that mean. Obama is running for President of US of America. It's a big story so the media covers it. If the players were white, it would be game over. No President, no senator, no mercy! You know it and I know it.
