Freedom of BLEEP

The following is an abridged account of Obama’s racist history. Please note that it is comprised almost entirely of direct quotes from Obama, as well as his former pastor.

While Obama denounced Reverend Wright, he approved of his “social gospel” focusing on Africa, saying “and I agree with him on that.” Well, here is Reverend Wright’s social doctrine, which Obama agrees with:

1. Commitment to God
2. Commitment to the Black Community
3. Commitment to the Black Family
4. Dedication to the Pursuit of Education
5. Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence
6. Adherence to the Black Work Ethic
7. Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect
8. Disavowal of the Pursuit of Middleclassness
9. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the Black Community
10. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Black Institutions
11. Pledge allegiance to all Black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System
12. Personal commitment to embracement of the Black Value System

 

This doctrine was posted on the church website for many years (as seen below), but was removed during the presidential campaign.

Now, if another church were to adopt this same doctrine, but used the word ‘white’ instead of the word ‘black,’ wouldn’t that be considered extremely racist? If so, how is the doctrine of Trinity United - the social gospel that President Obama said he agrees with - not racist?

 

The fact of the matter is that Reverend Wright made racist anti-American statements long before the controversial “God Damn America” sermon during the election. Wright said that the government was responsible for “inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color.” The Sunday after 9/11, Wright said that the terrorist attack was “America’s chicken’s coming home to roost.” Wright also said, “If God is not for us and against whites, then he is a murderer, and we’d best kill him.”

 

Obama denied hearing any of this, but he even quoted some of Wright’s racial remarks in his book, Dreams from My Father, on page 159: “White folks’ greed runs a world in need, apartheid in one hemisphere, apathy in another hemisphere. That’s the world! On which hope sits!”

 

That sermon, entitled “The Audacity of Hope,” inspired Obama so much that he named his next book after it.

But let’s look at a few more quotes out of Dreams from My Father:

 

“That hate hadn’t gone away [...] 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 Obama, Dreams from My Father, Page 236

“I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of twelve or thirteen, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was integrating myself with the whites.” -Barack Obama, Dreams from My Father, Page 6

“The emotion between the races could never be pure [...] The other race [white] would always remain just that: menacing, alien and apart.” -Barack Obama, Dreams from My Father, Page 71

“[...] The African could never win against the white man because the black man only wanted to work with his own family or clan, while all white men worked to increase their power.” -Barack Obama, Dreams from My Father, Page 223

“The white man alone is like an ant, Onyango would say. He can be easily crushed. But like an ant, the white man works together. His nation, his business-these things are more important to him than himself. He will follow his leaders and not question orders. Black men are not like this.” -Barack Obama on the teachings of his grandfather, Dreams from My Father, Page 223

“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 Obama, Dreams from My Father, Page 59

 

 

These quotes aren’t taken out of context. But don’t take my word for it. I encourage you to read Dreams from My Father, just so you can see what kind of man our President is. In fact, if I know you then I have a copy you can borrow.
