Why Did Barack Obama Leave Out the History of the Democratic Party in His Race Speech?

Why Did Barack Obama Leave Out The History of the Democratic Party in His Race Speech?

I personally liked some of Barack Obama’s speech about race relations in the United States. But, were they just a bunch of words thrown together to take the spotlight off him and his highly controversial twenty-year association with his church and it’s hate spewing pastor, Jeremiah Wright?

Barack Obama likes to bring up the Name of Jesus quite frequently. But, what does the Word of God actually say about words?

1 John 3:18 “…let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.

Can anyone point to tangible things Obama has actually done while in the Illinois State Senate or the U.S. Senate that could show that he has been a leader in the area of race reconciliation? Why wasn’t he a leader in the Race Reconciliation Movement BEFORE he became embroiled in controversy about his racist church? Where is the EVIDENCE he has said anything to his pastor, mentor and friend of 20 years, Jeremiah Wright, about NOT provoking tensions between blacks and whites? Why did he recently, before his pastor was exposed as a incendiary demagogue, say that he did not think his church was “actually particularly controversial?”

BEFORE his race speech: “I wasn’t in church during the time that these statement were made,” Obama said. “I did not hear such incendiary language myself, personally. Either in conversations with him or when I was in the pew, he always preached the social gospel.”

DURING his race speech: “Did I know him to be an occasionally fierce critic of American domestic and foreign policy? Of course. Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in the church? Yes. Did I strongly disagree with many of his political views? Absolutely…”

BEFORE his speech: “If I had heard them repeated, I would have quit,” Obama said. “If I thought that was the repeated tenor of the church, then I wouldn’t feel comfortable there.”

DURING his speech: “I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother…”

The fact of the matter is that Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ is WELL KNOWN around many black circles in America - and even around the world - as a Black Liberation Theology church which spews forth rhetoric of Dr. James Cone and his book, ‘Black Power and Black Theology.’

And what does Dr. Cone believe?

“Christ is black therefore not because of some cultural or psychological need of black people, but because and only because Christ really enters into our world where the poor were despised and the black are, disclosing that he is with them enduring humiliation and pain and transforming oppressed slaves into liberating servants.

“In the New Testament, Jesus is not for all, but for the oppressed, the poor and unwanted of society, and against oppressors … Either God is for black people in their fight for liberation and against the white oppressors, or he is not.”

Think that is bad enough? Cone goes even further with this new strain of the ‘Gospel of Jesus Christ’:

“Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community … Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love.”

Maybe that’s why Wright says that African-Americans should not say “God Bless America,” but rather “God damn America.” Maybe that’s why Wright made his decision to make a pilgrimage to Libya to see dictator Moammar Khadafy with Louis Farrakhan - and also why Wright’s church has hailed Farrakhan for having “truly epitomized greatness“?

That brings me to the title of this blog entry. Why did Obama leave out the MOST IMPORTANT, MOST RELEVANT facts about the history of racism in America? I’ll give you some FACTS, then YOU decide.

Now do you know why Barack Obama left out THE MOST RELEVANT information about the history of racism in America?

Oh yea, and BTW, Margaret Sanger was the founder of the National Birth Control League (now Planned Parenthood, which the Democratic party LOVES) who championed birth control and eugenics (the movement devoted to “improving” the human species by control of hereditary factors in reproduction). Sanger called for the sterilization of ‘genetically inferior races.’ She organized her ‘Negro Project’ in 1939 and wrote: ‘The poorer areas, particularly in the South … are producing alarmingly more than their share of future generations.’ She also wrote: “It is said that the aboriginal Australian, the lowest known species of the human family, just a step higher than the chimpanzee in brain development, has so little sexual control that police authority alone prevents him from obtaining sexual satisfaction on the streets.”

Barack Obama; Maybe it’s about judgement to lead. Maybe it’s about words, just words. Or could it be about political FRAUD against the American People?

Go McCain-Romney 2008!
