Obama was saying that when African-Americans insisted on their U.S. constitutional rights, and the courts said that they did in fact have a right to those rights -- there were no rules, no guidelines on what the government had to do. There were rules/guidelines on what the government must/could not do. Nothing said the government had to provide transportation for African-Americans to those European-American schools or move those European-American schools to where African-Americans lived, etc.

Obama was talking about when African-Americans insisted that they had a right to vote, a right to be treated by the government the same as European-Americans, right to a fair trial, right to own & sell property, right to not be arbitrarily arrested, right to assembly, right to petition, right to criticize the government, right to defend themselves, right to the same government services that were being provided to/for European-Americans (education being an important example).
-
Obama was not talking about the government taking money or property from Oprah Winfrey or Michael Jackson or some African-American football/basketball/baseball player and giving it to some European-American living in a shack or mobile home or their car in Appalachia or Georgia or Kansas or Montana.

Whoever wrote the comments and opinions, and edited this radio interview, did not understand and/or did not listen to what Obama was talking about. Obama was not talking about redistribution of wealth. Obama was not talking about taking money or property from European-Americans and giving it to African-Americans.

I think this interview was a lot less extreme than it was made out to be. This is pretty mild as far as "this is who you really voted for." Barack Obama has proven to be a pretty centrist president, regardless of his personal opinions, which lean left. Poverty is a problem society should deal with. I don't know how. Who does? If redistribution of wealth were to happen (which it won't), it probably would be in the form of a congressional act of some kind.

@sunny5357 NO, I actually gave the tip to the bus boy right in front of the waitress and told her that I was just redistributing some of her wealth! She didn't like it very much nor do I think that she learned anything from it. But REALLY, what was I expecting?

Obama's tax code:
1. How much did you earn last year?
2. Send it to us.
The next time you go to dinner, try to find out if your waiter/waitress is a McCain or Obama supporter. If they are an Obama supporter, instead of a tip -- leave a note that reads:
"Because you believe in the distribution of income, surely you won't mind that I am taking the liberty to give your tip to the homeless man down the street. Thank you for your patriotism."

In Obama's racist pee-sized brain, he thinks that Blacks are unable to study, work hard, and earn a living themselves without seizing and plundering the property of whites and those minorities AND immigrants who have what it takes to live INDEPENDENT FROM government help.
Obama's real goal is to increase the number of people dependent on government entitlements, then point to those who don't need assistance and blame them for everyone's worries. "Look it's their greedy fault!"
