Author Topic: Racist Speech at Obama's Inauguration (Read 8906 times)

Is he suggesting that white people are inherently wrong? I’ll not pretend that racism hasn’t, or doesn’t, exist in America. I’ll not pretend as though many perpetrators of racism don’t have white skin. But isn’t broad value judgments made of people based on the color of their skin something we’re supposed to be avoiding?

What about all the white people who aren’t racist? Who have never uttered a racist word, and have not only never owned slaves themselves but aren’t even descended from slave holders? What about white people who just don’t care what color somebody’s skin is?

Do those whites need to embrace what is right too, or do they just get lumped in with the rest of the oppressors?

Yes.

At this point its pretty obvious your either an idiot or joking. But calling Asians yellow? Native Americans red? That seems pretty damn racist to me.

Race isn't supposed to be an issue with Obama.

However, obviously it is.

Coming soon to a city near you: Whites are the new minority.

Obama shook his head too... It's not an Obama issue... It's an old black man issue.

It was a great prayer, one that allowed us all to smile for a moment while taking in the enormity of the occasion.

We are all wise not to simply dismiss our nation's history as a mere accident of happenstance.

I agree.

Just imagine if McCain would have won the election and he had someone speak at his inauguration and the person would have said "when blacks will do what is right."
