Don't Believe The Hype!

North Carolina and Indiana as each of your primaries approach, please don't be fooled.  Barack Obama is still the right candidate to vote for at the end of the day no matter how much the media tries to spin this Rev. Jeremiah Wright situation out of control.  The media has a way of demonizing any issue or any person it chooses to.  The same people in the media who are spinning this out of control and taking the Rev. Jeremiah Wrights words all out of context are the same people who don't want to see Barack Obama in the White House. As a matter of fact what do Rev. Jeremiah Wright's opinions and views have to do with Barack Obama? So what if he was Barack's pastor for 20 years.  So what if he baptized Barack's daughters.  So what if he officiated Barack's wedding. Does that make his views the views of Mr. Obama? If you believe the answer to be yes, then you believe Rev. Jeremiah Wright is an unpatriotic racist and you must believe Barack is as well because Rev. Wright is his pastor.  You must also believe that everyone who listened to the words of the various Catholic Priests that were involved sexually with young boys to be congregations filled with homosexual pedophiles.  

How do I feel about Rev. Jeremiah Wright's comments? I think he speaks truth to power.  There is so much truth in the things he says that I'm shocked they are even giving him the media coverage they are! Of course their just doing that because there real agenda is to hang Barack Obama, but i'm hard pressed to find one untruth in Jeremiah Wrights statements. Did the government create HIV and Aids to destroy the black community? Rev Wright says based on the Tuskegee experiments and what has happened to Africans in this country, he believes this government is capable of anything and guess what people, he is right!  

The Tuskegee experiments for those who don't know, was a forty year ordeal between 1932 and 1972.  During this time, the U.S. Public Health Service conducted an experiment on 399 black men in the late stages of syphilis. These men, for the most part illiterate sharecroppers from one of the poorest counties in Alabama, were never told what disease they were suffering from or of its seriousness. Informed that they were being treated for "bad blood, their doctors had no intention of curing them of syphilis at all. The data for the experiment was to be collected from autopsies of the men, and they were deliberately left to degenerate under the ravages of tertiary syphilis—which can include tumors, heart disease, paralysis, blindness, insanity, and death. For good measure Rev. Jeremiah Wright should have threw in the alleged use of smallpox blankets as a means of Indian genocide by the Unites States Army and the Government.     

The headline in the NY Post quoted Rev. Wright saying, "You cannot do terrorism on other people and expect it never to come back on you.” Those are biblical principles, not Jeremiah Wright bombastic divisive principles.  He used the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II as an example of US Terrorism, and guess what?  Once again the Rev is Right (pun intended)! Let's be real, a nuclear bomb was not necessary at the end of World War II. President Truman's theory in doing so was the bombing would bring the war to an end in a timely fashion, but over 100,000 innocent Japanese men, women and children were killed. That was an act of terrorism just as the planes that were hijacked and forced to collide with the World Trade Center and innocent men and women where killed!  

The US doesn't look at Hiroshima as an act of terrorism and the people that planned 9-11 don't look at their actions as acts of terrorism. Someone said to me you might be right but how can Jeremiah Wright say that is a biblical principal? Galatians Chapter Six Verse Seven reads, “Whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” Karma muthafuckers!  You can't escape it!  I continue to hear people say Jeremiah Wright shouldn't be talking right now, he's hurting Barack. Hurting Barack in the eyes of whom? He's a man of God not the government. He is a pastor not a politician. He's doing his divine ordained duty by preaching and he's speaking truth to power! Rev. Jeremiah Wright said it best, “I'm running for Jesus not political office.” Let's not forget they chose to put the cameras on him! So he is supposed to stop doing what God wants him to do because the media is making and issue out of something that shouldn't be an issue at all?  

What Rev. Jeremiah Wright says shouldn't even be linked to Barack Obama. Barack shouldn't have to hold press conferences denouncing another man because of that other man's views. I don't see anyone telling Republicans to denounce the endorsement of Pat Buchanan who has been a senior advisor to Nixon, Ford, and Regan.  He sought the republican presidential nomination in 92 and 96 and endorsed President George W. Bush and is no doubt backing John Mccain. Pat Buchanan should be demonized in the media just as much as Rev. Wright referring to AIDS in 1983.  Buchanan wrote in his column that Gays have "declared war upon nature and now nature is extracting an awful retribution.” In later years he urged New York City Mayor Ed Koch and New York State Gov. Mario Cuomo to cancel the Gay Pride Parade or else "be held personally responsible for the spread of the AIDS plague." In a 1990 interview, he stated he was "the first national columnist to demand why the government wasn't dealing with this national epidemic" and stood by his view that AIDS is a consequence of immoral sex. In 1993, Buchanan called homosexuality unhealthy and said most people will describe sex between two men as, "not only immoral, but filthy." Further, Buchanan said public acceptance of homosexuality inevitably leads to societal decay and the collapse of the family. In his autobiography he wrote,"Someone's values are going to prevail. Why not ours?  Whose country is it anyway? Whose moral code says we may interfere with a man's right to be a practicing bigot, but must respect and protect his right to be a practicing sodomite?"  Now you all know if Rev. Jeremiah Wright had said anything remotely like that they would be calling for Barack Obama to drop out the race.  No one says anything to the Republicans when they have someone like this amongst them. In a 1983 syndicated column, Buchanan wrote, women are "simply not endowed by nature with the same measures of single-minded ambition and the will to succeed in the fiercely competitive world of Western capitalism.”  

Hillary supporters should hate that one and hate Pat Buchanan for saying it! Why are they not forcing John Mccain to explain the words of Pat Buchanan? Why has no other president that Buchanan has advised been forced to explain Pat's views?  For some reason, when it comes to them the media is smart enough to know that Pat Buchanan's views don't reflect who he's advising or endorsing! And just for good measure on March 21, 2008, after Barack's race speech, Pat Buchanan had this to say, “First, America has been the best country on earth for black folks. It was here that 600,000 black people, brought from Africa in slave ships, grew into a community of 40 million, were introduced to Christian salvation, and reached the greatest levels of freedom and prosperity blacks have ever known. Wright ought to go down on his knees and thank God he is an American. .Second, no people anywhere has done more to lift up blacks than white Americans. Untold trillions have been spent since the '60s on welfare, food stamps, rent supplements, Section 8 housing, Pell grants, student loans, legal services, Medicaid, Earned Income Tax Credits and poverty programs designed to bring the African-American community into the mainstream.Governments.  Businesses and colleges have engaged in discrimination against white folks with affirmative action, contract set-asides and quotas — to advance black applicants over white applicants, churches, foundations, civic groups, schools and individuals all over America have donated time and money to support soup kitchens, adult education, day care, retirement and nursing homes for blacks.  We hear the grievances. Where is the gratitude?   

Barack talks about new "ladders of opportunity" for blacks.  Let him go to Altoona and Johnstown, and ask the white kids in Catholic schools how many were visited lately by Ivy League recruiters handing out scholarships for "deserving" white kids.  Is white America really responsible for the fact that the crime and incarceration rates for African-Americans are seven times those of white America? Is it really white America's fault that illegitimacy in the African-American community has hit 70 percent and the black dropout rate from high schools in some cities has reached 50 percent?  Is that the fault of white America or, first and foremost, a failure of the black community itself?   

As for racism, its ugliest manifestation is in interracial crime and especially interracial crimes of violence. Is Barack Obama aware that while white criminals choose black victims three percent of the time, black criminals choose white victims 45 percent of the time?  Is Barack aware that black-on-white rapes are 100 times more common than the reverse and black-on-white robberies were 139 times as common in the first three years of this decade as the reverse?  We have all heard at nauseam from the Rev. Al about Tawana Brawley, the Duke rape case and Jena and all turned out to be hoaxes, but about the epidemic of black assaults on whites that are real, we hear nothing. Sorry Barack, some of us have heard it all before, about 40 years and 40 trillion tax dollars ago. Now this is racist even though there is a lot of truth in what Pat is saying I would say that the system here in America created a lot of the conditions that caused Black people to need so much government aid to begin with, but that's not the point.  The point is why is no one making John Mccain denounce Pat Buchanan? Because there is a double standard commonly called some bullshit people!

It's the same double standard (bullshit) that allows Hillary Clinton to blatantly lie about being under fire in Bosnia and no one puts pressure on her to explain it.  It’s the same double standard (bullshit) that allows John Mccain to simply apologize for opposing a federal holiday honoring Martin Luther King Jr. Yes ladies and gentleman he was against honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. with a federal holiday. 
McCain said he was "slow to give greatness its due" before eventually supporting a state MLK holiday in Arizona.  Why exactly where you slow Mr. Mccain? Let Barack have been in that situation, the media would have eaten him alive! Even with the Sean Bell case, why is Barack being asked how he feels about the verdict but not the other candidates? Oh cause Barack's black, but what about the fact Hillary was the Senator of New York City and New York is allegedly her territory.  Not one reporter wants to know how she feels about the verdict or how she feels about police brutality in NYC.   

Don't fall for the media's bullshit people especially in Indiana and North Carolina.  The media is trying to mentally program you to have a view of Barack Obama that doesn't even exist. They really don't want him to win trust that. North Carolina especially, vote Barack next week in the primaries if you don't, you will be doing yourself an your country a grave injustice by falling for the media's tricknology.
