From Dreams of My Father, “ I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASISVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE”. Barack Hussein Obama


From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “The emotion between the races could never be pure, even love was tarnished by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves. Whether we sought out our demons or salvation, THE OTHER RACE (WHITE) WOULD ALWAYS REMAIN JUST THAT; MENACING, ALIEN AND APART.”Barack Hussein Obama


From Dreams Of My Father: “That hate hadn’t gone away,” he wrote, BLAMING “WHITE PEOPLE — some CRUEL, some IGNORANT, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.” Barack Hussein Obama


From ‘Dreams Of My Father’, “There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,” he wrote. “It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your LOYALTY TO THE BLACK MASSES, TO STRIKE OUT and name names” Barack Hussein Obama


Although Obama spent various portions of his youth living with his white maternal grandfather and Indonesian stepfather, HE VOWED THAT HE WOULD ‘NEVER EMULATE THE 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, the attributes of Martin and MALCOLM, DuBois and Mandela.”


He added: “To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. THE MARXIST PROFESSORS and structural feminists.”


“There was something about him that made me wary,” Obama wrote. “A little too sure of himself, maybe. AND WHITE.” ‘The Audacity of Hope’, Barack Hussein Obama


“THAT GHOSTLY FIGURE THAT HAUNTED BLACK DREAMS.”- Barack Hussein Obama, ‘ Audacity of Hope’


"Nobody is suffering more than the Palestinian people.' Barack Hussein Obama.

THEN THERE’S HIS ADMIRATION OF ISLAM:


Quote from Barack Obama’s book, Dreams Of My Father:
“THE PERSON WHO MADE ME PROUDEST OF ALL, THOUGH, WAS MY , ROY..HE CONVERTED TO ISLAM”.


From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “IN INDONESIA, I SPEND TWO YEARS AT A MUSLIM SCHOOL” “..I STUDIED THE KORAN..”


From ‘Audacity of Hope: “LOLO (Obama���s step father) FOLLOWED ISLAM....”I LOOKED TO LOLO FOR GUIDANCE”.


From ‘The Audacity Of Hope, “I WILL STAND WITH THEM (MUSLIMS) SHOULD THE POLITICAL WINDS OF WAR SHIFT IN AN UGLY DIRECTION..”


From The Audacity Of Hope, “WE ARE NO LONGER JUST A CHRISTIAN NATION, we are also a Jewish nation, a MUSLIM NATION, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.”

How does he get away with having this out in print?
any other candidate would be CRUCIFIED!
This is freakin’ INSANE to think of electing THIS to the presidency of the United States!

Quotes by Obama’s pastor and mintor, Jeremiah Wright and their honored associate, Nation of Islam leader, Louis
Farrakhan:


“God will destroy America by the hands of the Muslims....God will not give Japan or Europe the honor of bringing down the United States; this is an honor God will bestow upon Muslims.” – Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan


“White people are potential humans…they haven’t evolved yet.”– Nation of Islam Leader Louis Farrakhan
Philadelphia Inquirer, March 2000


According to a journalist’s account, “Farrakhan called ‘the white man’ the ‘anti-Christ’ to rousing applause.”


“White America got their wake-up call after 9-11. White America and the Western world came to realize people of color had not gone away, faded in the woodwork, or just disappeared as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring black concerns.” Jeremiah Wright (Obama’s pastor and mentor)


“The Israelis have illegally occupied Palestinian territories for over 40 years now. Divestment has now hit the table again as a strategy to wake the business community and wake up Americans concerning the injustice and the racism under which the PALESTINIANS have lived because of Zionism.” Jeremiah Wright. Obama’s pastor.


Is THIS what you want in the White House?

"Origins - The above quoted email forward reproduces passages taken from Barack Obama's two books - Dreams from My Father and The Audacity of Hope - with the presumed intent of presenting Obama as a self-declared racist. However, these cherry-picked statements are all presented devoid of context, and some of them are reworded from the original (or apparently non-existent)."

The above quote was copied directly from the Snopes article that you cite to support your claim. Here are the key words, in case you missed them: Cherry-picked. Devoid. Reworded. Non-existent.

I mean, really. You're just not even trying.

Talk about cherry picking...did you notice that I didn't say that the entire OP was correct.

But certainly you agree that everything you just stated indeed goes both ways???


As for someone not voting for him because he is black, yes there are those out there that will not vote for him because he is black.

I haven't seen anything racist posted about McCain, because it is an impossibility.

SNOOPYME quotes:

"That link has nothing to do with the original post. Your link doesn't address the original post at all.
http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/ownwords.asp This does. And WHAT WAS POSTED WAS INDEED TRUE.

Check these statements at Snopes....most of them AREN'T OUT OF CONTEXT and are indeed what he said.

Her site didn't address the OP at all. Snopes does, and indeed verifies that most of the statements were CORRECT."

SNOPES quotes:

"However, these CHERRY-PICKED statements are ALL presented DEVOID OF CONTEXT, and some of them are REWORDED... or apparently NON-EXISTENT."

Please do explain to me what I am not getting. Because it appears to me that you have cited a source that directly contradicts what you are trying to prove, i.e. You say everything that was posted was true and in context. Snopes says everything was out of context, some of it was reworded, and some of it was just made up.
