Isn’t he supposed to “represent” the new politics of hope? Isn’t he supposed to be the post partisan, post racial candidate? If so, then why is he so closely associated with so many people that are clearly partisan and vehemently racial? Do you think that this is just some odd coincidence? That somehow a random alignment of the stars caused all these people to intersect the life of Senator Obama for so many years? That he had nothing to do with cultivating these long standing enduring relationships?" Do you have any idea how many relationships are formed between well-meaning, on-the-fence African Americans and radical African Americans every day in cities across America? There is always going to be something you have in common with individuals who might not have the same beliefs as you. I do agree that you can choose not to associate yourself with such people, just as I had: I once attended Meeks church and all I needed was one sermon to decide I would never return. But I am sure some white people here have had friends that they would classify as racist but would not harbor any of their friend's views. Let the fear mongering end, fearful people.

Instead he still defends and justifies him.

The conversation was not on the race aspect directly, but still left the smell of burnt kool-aid in the air. Thanks Mimi…I had a similar experience in a discussion with a co-worker.

Why you and the MSM don't seem to notice (or mind) says more about Obama's campaign than it does Clinton's. Cee, if your man didn’t keep having his turds float to the top, maybe no one would notice.

Just as Kwame Kilpatrick, the Mayor of Detroit is/was? - Don't know the rules about Super Delegates and problems with the law. So this discussion is necessary and warranted. Cee,

This man, James Meeks, is a Super Delagate for Obama. Just as Kwame Kilpatrick, the Mayor of Detroit is/was? - Don’t know the rules about Super Delegates and problems with the law.

So this discussion is necessary and warranted.

I had no idea of horrific it is for those poor high school kids. So sad, for so many to die before they really even had a chance to live. Do you think the hate speech from those Black Separtist Chruches, in any way have influenced whats happening, or are there are other reasons for the increase in violence? That link was shocking!
