Anyone recognize the source:


"The National Government will regard it as its first and foremost duty
to revive in the nation the spirit of unity and cooperation. It will
preserve and defend those basic principles on which our nation has been
built. It regards Christianity as the foundation of our national
morality, and the family as the basis of national life."

Barack Obama, lying to the nation when he delivered his speech to the
Democratic National Convention?



Oh my! Aren't YOU bitter! What's wrong? Worried that the Dems have a guy who
can actually speak and weave together ideas like a big boy? Someone who
might kick the jambs out from under your shack in a few years?

You kow what bothers me about him?

He is more white than black in a purely genetic sense. One of his
parents is white and I believe that his other parent is also partially
white.

So with a smaller genetic portion of him being black, why doesn't he
call himself white?

Or even if he is purely half black and white, why doesn't he call
himself white?

Oh, I wish I hadn't asked that. :)

Well, there are plenty of possibilities, among them:

1. He doesn't look Caucasian.
2. He understands that historically in this country and in "white
Africa," "mixed" folks were discriminated against, as either being
"black" or "something else," and wants to remember those who got the
short end of the stick because of their skin color.
3. He isn't interested in his "racial" genetics.

If that was true, then he would just call himself a male human being
if it wasn't all that important to him.

4. His success as a "black man" really ****es off those whiteys who are
overtly or covertly racist. There's little as satisfying as "in your
face" success. I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that most of the buttwipes
in my newsgroup dumpster filter *can't stand* the fact that Obama, a
black man, is a resounding success despite his background and because of
his achievements.

How's them apples?

Like I said - I don't care - it was just a curiosity question based on
his background.

I have nothing against him in any case. In short, doesn't matter to
me.

Later,
