wow you missed the entire point of the conversation. You also missed the entire point of his speech. Obama said that Wright's sermon was wrong. He strongly rejected them, over and over agian.

[AmBoy00]

I'm concerned that the only point you got from this thirty minute speech was the one about his grandmother.

4 /4

From Obama’s speech in San Francisco:

"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.'

Arab? Tell me something, could you point to the part of a world map from which Arabs come? I'm guessing not... based on your identifying a Hawaiian as an Arab.

[trojoe]

Really? Is this BS still out there? Where'd you get this? Fox News? Change the channel. Take a class. Read a book. In other words, educate yourself before you spout this nonsense.

[LinkinChemicalBoy]

True - but he's not. Idiot.

[LinkinChemicalBoy]

Lol, please tell me you're being sarcastic in some weird fucked up way, or you just made yourself look like the biggest dumbass on the internet.

[BigDames28]

it doesnt matter if hes biracial, hes MUSLIM, muslim people. I would rather have an Atheist as president than him, if the people who were upset that Kennedy was catholic were here today, they would leave the country. Proposterous
