Michelle Obama “Whitey” Tape?
Posted on June 1, 2008
Lasst update: Latest info and new thread.
Update 5: My friend MacRanger gets an email from a trusted source that makes him believe the tape does exist. His emailer says it’s being held until Hillary officially drops out.
Update 4: June 3rd, 2008: Bob Beckel says a big shoe, involving Michelle, will drop tomorrow.
Update 3: Million dollar reward for the tape? This is all a rumor, but if you read Michelle’s college thesis on race you will find it is most likely true.
Politico.com received a possibly redacted copy from the Obama campaign recently. The excerpts show that Obama identifies with black militancy, utterly obsessed with race in America and her own blackness. It is a fundamentally racist document, shocking when considering that this scholarship is the product of a presidential candidate’s wife at a great university.
She mourns that she will face “further integration and/or assimilation into a white cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society; never becoming a full participant.”
Update 2: NRO keeps track of the details and concludes that some kind of tape probably does exist due to left blog spin on transcripts already coming around and a separate transcript being floated around right leaning forums.
There’s another transcript floating around FreeRepublic and elsewhere that would make it hard to believe that this is a mispronunciation of “why’d he.” I have no idea where this alternative transcript comes from, and note that those who are posting it to various conservative chat rooms, etc., give no sense of where they heard it from.
An interesting point about the alternative explanation posted on Booman Tribune. Whoever felt the need to give that clarifying transcript to a liberal blog is, by that action, confirming that the tape exists.
Michelle Obama, “Once again, the white man keeps us down, what’s up with Whitey, Why’d he attack Iraq, Why’d he let Katrina happen, Why’d he leave millions of children behind. This is the legacy the white man gives us.”
Update: Here’s Larry Johnson’s update. If this plays out to be true, there will be a tape showing Michelle Obama and Farrakhan railing against “Whitey”! Also, a deep relationship between Obama and the Nation of Islam will be revealed. Stay tuned cuz this may not come out till October!
If this is true, Obama is toast. The rumor is that the evil Karl Rove has a copy of a tape showing Michelle Obama railing against “whitey” inside Trinity United Church and that it is being saved as the GOP’s October surprise.
New and dramatic developments. This is a heads up. I’ll post the news Monday morning by 0900 hours. Now I know why people who have seen the videotape say it is stunning. Barack’s headaches are only starting.

Come on now, does anyone not believe the rumors?
@cv
“Come on now, does anyone not believe the rumors?”
I want to see facts and evidence for such a heinous charge.
But if it does turn out to be true I have to ask myself just how stupid people at Trinity are.
So many videos, so much mass ‘hate-whitey’ hysteria.
This would set race relations back decades.
Never said whether I believed the rumor or not!
Whether or not its true, her Princeton thesis is beyond belief in its own right.
There is no denying that the Obama`s embraced the `black liberation` (supremacist) movement that JW was preaching.. it was all in her college thesis, I am assuming years before she even met Wright.
The part about always devoting all of her resources first and foremost to the BLACK community?.. What a sad hateful person.
I hear that some republicans doctored a tape where she said “white people” and took out the “eople” so it sounds like white-p but they claim it’s whitey. Kind of like what they did with the white ni**er tape they made to try and hurt Hillary’s camp.
some thing like.. “white people and black people are not different and share the same values.”
the tape is doctored to say.. whitey{p} and black people are different. (erased the word not)
Lots of erased and dubbed words in it.
If it comes out it will be debunked fast like the white ni**er tape.
So is the word going around.
What tape? If Mrs. Clinton had such a tape, the media would already have it. Mrs. ClintonClinton is losing and desparate.
“Why’d he” versus “whitey.”
The peddler of this type is likely to face a huge backlash when it is debunked. That’s why the Dems want this out now so there’s time to debunk it and calm people down. That’s why the GOP wants to wait until just before the election and dump it on the undecideds.
Remember how the Rev Wright thing turned out. While the controversy did stir up the fearful red neck group, it also stirred up the far more numerous group of tolerant Americans that are tired of racial attacks. Relative to Clinton, Obama continued to improve his odds at winning the nom.
So pit a young black man against an old white man. If the GOP continues this undertone of ‘the blacks are the racists!’, they might well find themselves devastated in the long run.
Nice try, but the interrogative context is clear:
“Why’d he…” Not “Whitey.” Sheesh.
There is no tape.
If you read LJ stuff, it’s clear that he is trying his best to believe his own rumours .. and still doesn’t believe it himself.
Nobody has gone on record as having seen it (except perhaps LJ).
Nobody knows if Karl Rove, Lee Atwater or Donald Segretti have a copy of the tape, that’s only LJ spinning.
Have a good laugh .. but don’t expect any tape.
It does exist, but Larry Johnson and the Clintons had hoped the GOP would release it now… that’s the only chance that Clinton has left.
But if they hang on and release in late October, there would be little time to pick it apart.
The Dems would find the cuts and provide the actual transcript… but all of this takes time to calm folks down and present the truth. There is no time for this in late October.
If you go back to LJ’s post, he’s just got FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, Doubt). He doesn’t have a tape to show, just more hype.
I feel like a kid on Christmas Eve. I am soooooo looking forward to this. I hope it’s true!! It’d be a pretty cruel joke if it wasn’t.
I wish Rove would release today, so Hill would have a better chance of being the nominee.
People posting on this blog and other conseravtive blogs are just sad. If a Chinese person or Latino proudly works to promote chinese or Latino Americans you people would see nothing wrong with that, if a white person gives another white person a job you people will not read anything to it but God help a black person working to help other blacks or give another black person a job or even say hello to anotehr black person walking by and you all start reading unneccesary bull crap into every move made. You all are the reasons why people are feeling anger on both sides. All promoting rubbish and unneccesary hatred and feud. Get off your stupid high horses and let this country progress for the love of God. Enough is enough!
Fools! You all so badly want this to be true but alas it’s as false as the GOP itself. If you think you will win this country on false statements and outright lies as you did in 2000 and 2004, think again. Not this time. All you cynics are so finished. The entire nation is wide awake and ready.
I heard Sean Hannity has it! I cannot believe the racism in this campaign. Leave BARACK AND MICHELLE ALONE!!!!!
Let’s say for instant that the tape does exist. So what, another distraction getting out of the War,health care and the economy. If you want to beat Obama, it will have to be with a good plan not sound bites that trick getting old.
BREAKING NEWS! I hate to bust your bubble. Tape had been debunk. The NPR went to the source and got a waffling answers. Plus the text script backs it up as not true.
Chris Matthews at MSNBC has the only copy of the tape and he will not release it because he hates Hillary and Obam makes him feel all tangley
“The excerpts show that Obama identifies with black militancy”
Er…. no, they don’t. That’s simply a lie.
The politico article is only 2 pages long, hence this is readily verifiable and just as quotable directly if you thought you could make that case yourself.
OMAROSA IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
Sadly, the important thing is that it keeps being talked about, not whether or not it’s true.
In two months, all the ignorant people will be saying he’s a muslim and his wife hates whitey.
What a great country.
And the worst part is that idiot Hillary supporters are going to vote against the most liberal and prowoman presidential candidtate we’ve had in a long time and vote for a old man who’s going to put in conservative judges and calls his wife a c–t.
How can this NOT BE true?
All parishoners of Obama’s prior “church” seem to thrive on hate!
No news here.
PS … and imagine the outcry by the libs if McCain called the African-Americans “Blackey”!
What many may see as Black racism really is Black resentment. With racism comes the ability to affect power over people.
I served 20 years in the military, have a college degree and have run successful businesses. However, i know that my skin color is used to immediately judge who I am.
I am assumed to have a inferior education and obtained a college degree only because of Affirmative Action.
I am often told that I am quite “articulate”, especially because I say “ask” and not “axe”.
For the last day I have seen the number of people who fervently are waiting and hoping that this story is true.
I doubt that there is a tape and the way the story has be released it makes no difference. People will wait for the GOP to release this non-existent tape in October.
It’s almost as bad the “Obama is a Muslim” rumor.
Shame on America!
It is amazing …
70% of blacks are born out of wedlock
So many blacks are gangbangers
So many are drug addicts
Yet the solution is to blame “Whitey”
This is what the “preachers” preach. Blame Whitey.
This is what Jackson … Farrakhan, and Sharpton preach.
Blame Whitey
This is ridiculous — Obama is a disciple of this hate … and the parishoners are teaching their own childern to hate!
Truly sad …
Stop the hate!
McCain in 08!
There is clearly a double standard when it comes to racism between black and white people. I am an African American and I went to school with all white people, and they did not hesitate to use the “N” word on a regular basis. This is something that I grew accustomed to hearing, (but not tolerating) growing up in Tennessee. What I don’t understand is how it is socially acceptable for white people to say the “N” word, but as soon as a black person retaliates, or uses terms such as whitey, white people get offended. Who of you that is on this board that is white, have not used the “N” word at your leisure. Everyone has!!! So don’t act all sanctified and pure when a black woman says whitey. Like I said before, this is a HUGE double standard.
We’re not voting for the President of Goddamn KKK of America. If this tape is true, and I bet dollars to doughnuts it is, Obama is finished.
Race is still a big issue. Many Whites don’t understand Blacks and they choose not to. Kris 1908 can recite statistics about Black people but offers no other solution than to vote for McCain. Why don’t we open our ears and our hearts to try and be more understanding to our fellow American.
Obama 08
Tape or not…
Hillary Clinton never said:
1.) “typical white person”- Barak Obabma
2.) “oppression of rich white people”- Wright
3.) “whole lotta white people [crying]“- Pfleger
I am sick of this crybaby, unexperienced, plagiarizing, slacker always playing the “victim”!!!
If any of you ever worked for civil rights, then you would also be offended by this exploitation of the entire spirit of the movement!!!
Yes, she never said that…. but remember:
1.) Bill Clinton’s statements in South Carolina.
2.) Geraldine Ferraro statement that Obama would not be there but that he is Black.
3.) Senator Clinton’s statement about “hardworking White people…”
What I think angers so many people more is that this “uppity negro” is on the cusp of something historic and will most likely be the next President of the United States.
What is really shameful is that there are some so fearful of losing the power and influence that they will say or do anything to derail this candidacy.
But I have faith in the American people and understand that they are sick and tired of how we’ve all been treated for the last 8 years.
As we get closer to November there will be a groundswell that will sweep Obama into office.
So, do your best , your dirtiest and lowest…. Don’t worry, we are used to it.
I’s time for a truce …
Let the Libs run Obama/Byrd
Their motto can be “I hate Whitey-I hate Blackey and we both hate uppity women”
A real winner!
Wow!! The tape isn’t even out and Obama supporter’s are saying it’s doctored?
Which goes to show you they will stand by racist comments made by his wife and defend them.
It’s sad when thier already saying it’s doctored when NOBODy seen it yet…
Quit lying Obamacrats, You dont know if its doctored because you know nothing about it.
He and his wife have dug thierselves a grave and no matter how much kicking and screaming you do it’s thier fault and they will reap what they sew
Hillary or John McCain are grasping at straws. With todays technology, anybody can doctor up anything. How low will desparate Hillary or John McCain go.
I will be very disappointed if Sen. Obama puts her on his ticket. He wants new change, so make a change and pick someone of your choice. The country is in trouble and we need to concentrate on the real problems and stop reporting petty crap like this tape
I support Obama but don’t put myself in the “Obama” camp per say. I’ve been a Republican all of my political life.
This is a man that is half-white and for some reason there is a widely held perception that anyone with Black/Dark skin inherently hates Whites… But he was raised by White grandparents and a White mother. Almost all of his heritage that he learned growing up is that of his White ancestors - good and bad.
We don’t hate Whites, but we have a distain and/or resentment for what some White people have done not just to us but to all Americans of color.
What is sometimes amazing is that it took so long for a nation to rise to express it’s outrage. And some will say that the Civil War was fought to express that outrage, but it was not. It was fought to preserve the Union and it was fought by a great many who were forced into the fight greatly unwilling.
There seems to be a movement from some to forget or minimize all of things that this nation has done - “forgive and forget”
It comes in the form of such notions as “Africans really enslaved each other”, “the debt has been repaid so many times since slavery”, “Affirmative Action is reverse discrimination”, “I didn’t have any slaves…” and ad nauseum…
But one only has to remember the destruction of the Indian Nation, Slavery, Jim Crow laws, Segregation, Japanese internment,prohibitive voting laws and many other bad acts to know that America has not always reflected its high ideals.
Too many people want to remind me and others that I would not have the opportunity and the great fortune without my people having to endure what they have the past 200 years.
I am grateful for the opportunity that I have in America; however I think my family and I have both suffered for and paid for the right to be able to constructively criticize our country. A truly great nation is able to take such criticism.
Despite the willingness of some to use this and other such lies as a way to deflect or deny the great strides that Blacks have made in this country, one only has to truly look into their heart to realize that this is truly a great moment for America.
This event alone will bring new hope to hundreds of millions of people across the world who will look again at this nation with a great deal more respect and admiration than we’ve receive in several generations.
Not sure if anyone will read this as it seems people talking about politics like to hear themselves talk for the most part…
The fact IS
Obama did attend a MUSLIM school as a child. Whether or not this makes him a “practing muslim” is irrelevent… I was raised a catholic in a catholic family, this is not to say I am a “practicing catholic”
HOWEVER , I STILL have some weird ass catholic residue left.
THIS may affect ways I make life decisions YES! This is a fact!
I am not sure why people believe he had no idea about his “close friend” and “pastors” views… I can tell you I have a best friend of 15 years and while you can’t know everything about anyone you KNOW where your close friends stand on race, politics, world peace ect…
I do not want a president affiliated what - so EVER w/ Farrakhan or any radical period.
Be them white or black.
I want a president that while they stand for what they believe has NO, NONE radical ties.
Someone who can be DEMOCRATIC!
As for the African Americans who are still hiding behind this crap
“oh the color of my skin”
“oh, the white man keeps us down”
‘Oh i’m educated treat me like it”
This is America, these TIRED excuses are just that, TIRED.
ANYONE if they work hard enough and make smart choices, has the ability to be as powerful as any OTHER member of any other race.
The End.
wow. So many comments all concerning the color of skin.
What if our news media was all black & white and there was no way of knowing what racial background (or gender) either (any) candidate came from?
Would you support/reject Obama or McCain based on policy and experience?
Put your blinders on and LISTEN to the policies and plans!
Why is it that people who write this rubbish can never spell correctly?
I am so sick of the white black crap, destroy each other right now! I am a male and very proud of America. What we have done today is shameful and a disgrace to America. Sexism has been played against Hillary and all you fight over is the white and black thing! Do you look at your mother, sisters or daughters second class? Can you look at them and tell them they are inferior to men? Can you look into your wife’s eyes and say you are lower class than men?
Michelle Obama is a very intelligent woman. This being said, I fail to understand why she is on a panel of some sort with the likes of Louis Farrakhan, et al. It’s not said who the other participants were but this would be interesting. Obama says they only had a casual relationship with Farrakhan and were not best friends or anything. This doesn’t add up.
People seem to forget that Obama is half white as well. He can’t be running totally as a black man. He has a white mother and was raised by white grandparents in Kansas and Hawaii, but in the inner city like some would like to think. He was indoctrinated into the black community by his wife, who seems to have had a problem with race relations since at least college. Reading her college dissertation is eye-opening. She states that even considering Harvard has some of the most liberal professors in the country, she still felt like a second-class citizen and her paper screams feelings of Black (sic) versus white.
Barack joined Trinity church in 1992. He was married there in 1992, his children were baptized there, his home was blessed by this church, and the pastor was like an “uncle” to him. I wonder how he came to attend Trinity. Was it Michelle? If so, this opens up a whole laundry list of questions about her true beliefs.
Also, I don’t think he wants Hillary as VP, nor does Michelle. She seems to be the basis for many of his decisions and his advisers fill in the gaps. I for one would like to know what the “real” Barack feels about things. I have a feeling he does not want Hillary (and Bill) teaming up against him as VP and telling him what to do. If I were him, I wouldn’t want these two nipping at my heels at every turn.
If this tape exists they will wait until Hillary concedes to release it, then she can’t get Obama’s delegates and the Dems will be left with their racist (which they should already know) candidate for November.
I don’t like obama, never have he’s not getting my vote. I hope he gets creamed in the election. I wouldn’t vote for hillary either but I like her better. Obama is smug, too inexperienced, and has had too many problems with “friends” trashing white people. I am so sick of this race issue it’s always there…god forbid someone jump on Obama becaus then they are just racist, but Hillary bashing is ok… It is time to change it is time that this country have a president that is not a white male…but I’m not sold on him.
Go ahead dumb Dems - keep Barack as your guy. This ‘Whitey’ tape is just the tip of his racist iceberg. BHO can be counted on for some new racist scandal every month. You should’ve latched onto Hillary while you had the chance. LOL
McCain ‘08!
It doesn’t matter if a tape of Michelle Obama exists. As long as the words didn’t come out of Barack Obama’s mouth he’s safe. He survived Rev. Wright and he’ll survive this.
It’s sad how some people here HOPE the tape exists. Do you want there to be a “black racists’” husband running for president? You would prefer that over a decent black man running for president?
It absolutely defies reason and logic–Obama supporters, I’m speaking to you–to in the same breath deny the existence of a tape, and then, at the same time mind you, tell us what Michelle Obama *really* said on fictional tape.
Goodness people, wake up or grow up.
Do you really want someone who favors one race over all others in the WH?
What if Hillary said that she wanted to first and foremost help white people?
You would be rightfully mortified.
The level of racism expressed by the Obama campaign is the most startling, and disheartening thing I have ever seen in an election.
Unity?
All the campaign keeps churning out is hate.
I don’t know about any tape but I believe Michelle Obama is a pressure cooker of racial resentment - a real contrast to other first ladies. It’s disturbing.
I talked last night to a Republican enjoying a life of privilege with a good job, a wife who is a teacher (2 incomes) and he repeated to me all the Republican talking points…this economy has been good for him, so he will continue voting Republican. No thought for the less priviliged who are not enjoying this “great economy.” This my friends is the problem with America….I got mine, screw you. Rather than discuss these rediculous “race or gender” issues, we should be discussing the fairness of our policies……They always say we want socialism….we don’t, we want fair play.
An instance: Fair pay……Bank of America CEO earns millions, yet he puts out tellers who are the face of the Company who do not know their jobs, and don’t give a damn… I say, maybe if he took a few million less in his bloated pay, he could offer enough money that someone who did know their job and did give a dam would be representing the Bank and bring in more customers. Like GM scrapping the electric car in the past and going gung-ho on Hummers, way past the time for CHANGE……..Let OBAMA have his chance to CORRECT THE WRONGS OF THE LAST 8 YEARS, God knows we need some intelligence in the White HOuse !!!!!!!!!!
We all decide the company we keep!
Barack, Michelle, Black Panthers, Wm Ayres, Move-On, Wright, Sharpton, Jackson, Farrakhan.
All America haters - cast them aside in 2008!
Obama is the modern version of the Manchuraian Candidate!
make that Manchurian …
I would vote for Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, or Clarence Thomas for President in two seconds. I will never vote for the skinny socialist from Chicago.
Ratface-
NO….Actually the problem in this country is “YOU EARNED YOURS, IM GOING TO TAKE IT FROM YOU AND GIVE IT TO SOME LAZY LOSER WHO REFUSES TO DO WHAT IT TAKES TO EARN HIS OWN”
Obama is the candidate of unity. He will bring us together. Has anyone besides me wondered how a man with the most liberal voting record in the Senate will bring people together? I could understand if McCain made such a claim since he frequently ‘breaks ranks’ with the Republicans. At least McCain has a history of compromise between left and right. Obama never compromises.
I am perplexed about the odd contradictions between accounts on this purported Michelle tape. Initially, Larry Johnson aired the rumor as a panel featuring Michelle and Minister Farrakhan at Trinity Church. Specifically
Then, we have this new version from Hillbuzz, a pro-Hilary website, the day after Obama won the delegate numbers, stating now that it was at a Rainbow Push conference, and that it was with Mrs. Farrakhan. Hillbuzz maintains this conference was held at Trinity, yet, the conference schedule clearly shows this conference was held at Sheraton Hotel. More contradictions and inconsistencies.
Furthermore, Hillbuzz names no source for this very vivid description of the video’s content. Even Larry at No Quarter made an effort to at least allude to sources who had “seen” this mythological piece.
I mean, lets think, if someone has such vivid details on this video, wouldn’t they make sure they put up the source. It goes without saying.
Then, lets go back to the location problem. Hillbuzz claims this is held at Trinity, but it was not. So the question is, how can one have so many details on content of the speech yet be so off on location and can’t distinguish between a Hotel conference room and a Church? Strange.
Then, to top it off, a very spurious connection was made between the Trinity Church DVD sales pulled off in March , somehow alleging this tape was a Trinity Church product, when in fact its a Push/Rainbow product. This means, the speech should also be available at the Rainbow website. But it isn’t.
Could one of the reasons be that Michelle Obama does not appear on the schedule as a speaker? I would assume so. Also, the only official speaker from Trinity Church, according to the official schedule, was Mr. Reginald Williams, who spoke on Tuesday June 29 at 10am.
Now in the end, all these inconsistencies and loophole make this tape allegation all the more suspicious. We’re June 4, btw, and this is the promised release date…Still no tape? Hmmm…
You people are moronic. I’m amazed at the words you all have labeled people like Reverend Wright and Michelle Obama. You people talk as if racism from white America never existed before these two. Your predecssors created the term and the science, now you’re feeling the side effect to it. As soon as a non-white person speaks the truth about the evils of white America you go into a tantrum like a spoiled brat, not even addressing the issues that were brought up. You only want to mislabel them as Marxists, or militant, blah blah blah. Wow, You people talk as if white America has changed since the colonial days. Oh, I forgot, you don’t own slaves. But your minds are still the same. Face it, you all fear this man being president. Blacks (people of color period) have been the victims of racism since day one and you all know it. How can blacks be the victim and the perps at the same time? They can’t. Got you people disgust me. That’s one reason why I left the military. I don’t want to protect and serve people like you. Your time is almost up, just ask Pat Buchannan. He hints to it on his blog. What a sorry bunch.
Ratface, how is it fair TO ME to take away money I earned to give other people? If I want to donate my money or my time or my belongings to people less fortunate then it should be MY choice. I don’t need my government to take away the money I earn to hand it out, I can handle that all by myself.
You speak about fairness, but shouldn’t that be fairness to EVERYONE and not to just some people.
Less government, especially less federal government, more personal responsibility, personal non-governmental assistance, that is what we need. Not a big brother federal government who controls every aspect of our lives.
Why can’t the Democrats find a black candidate who’s just a regular American and who isn’t connected with the Nation of Islam and other racist organizations?
WORST OF ALL - OBAMA AND HIS “BUDDIES”
are teaching THEIR children to hate “Whitey”!
It’s so typical to blame others rather than solve their own problems.
Sad!
I saw the rant.
I was at Trinity on June 29th, 2004, and I saw the whole thing.
She started out responding to a question, but it just sort of boiled over. The crowd was in a big call-and-response mode, as is the custom of the negro race. It came to a hilt, and that’s when she totally lost it.
She called for radical violence against white people, called Bill Clinton a “racist sex-driven pig”, said AIDS was the fault of the American government.
She pulled out a green and yellow African dress, put it on, and began demanding that all panel participants call her Umfusi, screaming that Michelle was her “slave name”. She began ululating uncontrollably. She renounced her American citizenship, saying she was tired of “the man” keeping her down, and right then and there became a citizen of Liberia. Then she ran out into the street, ethnic slurs flowing from her mouth like Tsetse flies. She found the nearest white baby and began cooing at it, saying “my a massah tell me I take goo’ care you babe”, then threw it off of a bridge. She started screaming something about Uncle Tom.
Then the spear chucking began. It was horrible, horrible, all those spears being chucked. You could hardly see her shiny white smile for all the blood.
But she never said “whitey”. She said “why’d he”.
John on June 4th, 2008 7:26 pm:
Now, THAT was funny! Thanks!
Black racists don’t run for President. Oil and water. Here is a little food for thought. http://www.counterpunch.org/wise05272008.html
Originalman-
Thank you for the link, something that everyone should read.

If there is such a tape as being rummor she was tell the truth about the white people. Most likely their devilish ways and those are not rummors but facts. History say so.
Kbarmor-
First I would like to give you a link that might be helpful in improving your grammar.
http://www.grammarbook.com/grammar/cnt_gram.asp
You probably want to either find a good dictionary or a spell checker.
Yes, there have been White folks that have done us and others wrong, but to paint an entire group thusly is just plain wrong.
Assuming that you are Black, it would be a akin to me saying that all Black people are ignorant with respect to proper English…
BTW, I’m Black….
KENYA BECKONS!
Go there and whine!
Enough is ENOUGH!
Neal,
Would tell White people who whine about foreign outsourcing to return to their “home of origin”.
First, I am an American who has served in the US Army as have my sister and father. So have many of my male relatives.
At what point am I denied the right to complain about my treatment in this democracy without somebody like you making the disparaging remark for me to go to Kenya?
With all of its great opportunities America still has a way to go with respect to justice and respect for all.
I will admit that we’ve come a long way, but we still have a way to go.
A good indication of it is the many assertions about Michelle Obama’s “racism” that has no basis in fact.
SOMEONE FINALLY POSTED THE VIDEO ON YOUTUBE!!!!!! IT’S WORSE THAN I THOUGHT. SHE IS SOOOOO SCREWED!!!!!!
search f5fKvAyvH5o on youtube or I’ll try to make my name clickable if I can with a link.
Holy Sh*T!!!!
Blacks will never stop whining about prejudice as long as whites buy into it and the only whites I know who buy into it are liberals.
Slavery is over. Move on.
IT’S ALL WHITEY’S FAULT!
1. HE IS IMPREGNATING BLACK WOMEN SO RAPIDLY THAT 70% OF BLACK KIDS ARE BORN OUT OF WEDLOCK …
2. He is forcing blacks to join gangs and not go to school …
3. He is forcing the blacks into taking crack cocaine …
4. He is forcIng blacks to do drive by shootings over gang affiliations …
5. He is forcing them to hire maniacal so called preachers …
6. He is forcing Obama into an affiliation with Resko …
7. HE IS FORCING THEM TO LISTEN TO RAP CRAP …
It is time for the blacks to place the blame exactly where it belongs … with themselves ..
Rise above the idiots: Sharpton, Farrakhan, Obama, Wright … and wake the F*** up!
Whining is NOT THE SOLUTION …
Neal-
Despite your cynicism, I see Obama as a positive thing for the future of America. He is and has energized a new generation; he is inspiring people of color that if they work hard, become educated that they can obtain anything.
Yes, there is certainly plenty of blame for Black America to admit to, but why not give us the credit we deserve for all that we have accomplished?
Not one person in my father’s generation in our family graduate from college or even went to college. My generation(born 1957) everyone has gone to college and in the next generation the majority has Masters degrees with a good number having doctorates.
Blacks have the fastest growing Small businesses in the country and the community has the equivalent buying power of the 12th wealthiest nation in the world.
I have all the confidence that such low and despicable tactics will ultimately fail and McCain will NOT be the next President of the United States.
I know that this year I will NOT vote Republican as I have since 1976.
DAVID …
Obama is an ultra-liberal, for surrender in Iraq, for higher taxes, and is actually no better than Sharpton, Farrakhan, Jackon, Wright, only more glib.
They play the “race card” for power and profit.
The time for blaming “Whitey” is over.
PLEASE JUST STOP THE HATE!
MCCAIN IN 08!
Neal-
What do you know about Obama being an “ultra-liberal” except the catch phrase that someone has fed you? What the heck is an ultra-liberal?????
If being an ultra liberal means that we give affordable universal health care for all, than I am believer. And please spare me the nonsense about “socialism” or “communism”
And what do YOU know about “surrending” or “winning” the war - McCain certainly does not. Having been thru Vietnam he still does NOT understand the folly of fighting a war where the enemy is willing to sacrifice their lives to drive out the “oppressors”.
We are in a country where the vast majority does NOT want us to be there. At least in Vietnam the majority WANTED us there.
Look I served many years as an Infantry officer starting in the 70’s until the late 80’s on active duty and clearly see that we are killing are military - literally and figuratively.
This war is NOT winnable. If anything we need to concentrate our efforts more on Afghanistan and leave Iraq as quickly as possible.
But not just on Iraq, but on other foreign policy issue and domestic issues, McCain is too Bush-like as well as completely unable to grasp that we need absolute change on how we work with the world.
And I can see from my “perch” here in Costa Rica that so many in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America see Obama as the best choice for allowing America to regain it’s place of respect and true leadership in the world. We’ve allowed an idiot of a President to sabotage our reputation and standing.
You are deluding yourself that we are going to do that with a McCain administration.
I predict that the Republicans will suffer an astonishing defeat in November.
Neal-
About Sharpton, Farrakhan, Jackson and Wright- I agree they place the race card too often and too quickly… but they are still admired in the Black community because despite much of their nonsense they all have more to help people out of their misery than even our government has at time.
Farrakhan has on many occasions said some ignorant and vile racist things….BUT he has done more to keep young Black men out of trouble and doing the right thing.
Our government is more willing to increase the prison population to the highest number in the entire world as an answer. All they are doing is ignoring a festering wound that will eventually consume everyone (sorry for the mixed metaphors).
Why is it folly to defend the USA against Islamo-Fascism?
Why does Obama coddle up to Calypso Louie - a Jew and American hating Muslim?
Who care what Africa and Europe think?
We had to save Europe in 2 world wars!
Name on African country that is stable.
With 70% of blacks born (USA) out of wedlock and Obama teaching his own children to hate America - Wright’s “sermons” how do we ever move on?
National Journal magazine is reporting that Obama was the most liberal senator of 2007, according to the vote ratings it does every year for members of Congress. Clinton, meanwhile, ranks as the 16th most-liberal senator.
What about:
Obama + Michael Pfleger + Jeremiah Wright + Michelle Obama + Louis Farrakhan + HAMAS + Bill Ayers + Bernadine Dohrn + the New Black Panthers Party + MoveOn org + Hugo Chavez + Odinga + Daily Kos + George Soros + Larry Leggis + Micheal Moore,+ Black Nationalist Movement + the Weather Underground etc. etc. etc.=
Is there a hateful, anti-American person or group left that Obama is not aligned with yet?
Obama and hard left hate will be defeated by intelligent, decent and caring Americans everywhere.
Obama is the “peanut farmer” Junior and the “God Damn America” rantings that he listened to for 20+ years will send him into Oblivion.
Now about Costa Rica - love the place.
The carribean side is so beautiful but why does it have the highest crime rate?
Blame “Whitey” for that too?
I would like to see you come back with at least one post where you actually discuss issues without baseless
statements.
************************
I can say the same of you.
Republican my foot!
Lobo
People do not like to admit it but “the chickens have come home to roost” - and despite the pundits blaming this phrase on
Rev Wright, this originated from a former US ambassador to Iraq
FALSE! HE NEVER SAID “GOD DAMN AMERICA” and flailed around like a beheaded chicken.
Israel is a tiny country - attacked by Muslims - but then the Muslims are creating terror every day around the world.
Well here we go again, and the liberals (progressives) are still “progressing”.
They have “progressed” from 444 days of “hostage abandonment”, by Jimmy Carter, to 873 days of “troop abandonment” by the “progressive” heir apparent, Barack Obama.
Obama has not even visited our troops, in Iraq, for 873 days!
He has never met, one on one, with the man in charge of winning in Iraq, General Petraeus!
It’s all too evident that Obama has his mind made up; he’ll abandon victory in Iraq just as Carter abandoned the hostages.
Obama would make the “one term and out in a landslide loser”, Carter, seem like Teddy Roosevelt!
I’ll pass, for the third time, on casting my vote for the “Peanut Farmer.”
C’mon Obama, you’d visit with Ahmadinejad in Iran with no pre-conditions, why do you cower from visiting our troops in Iraq?
C’mon Obama, cast aside your handlers at the troop –hating Move-on.org; cast aside Ayres of the Weatherman; dismiss the Jewish hating Louis Farrakhan; and stop attending the pseudo “church” that only damns the USA!
Dave Richardson
Man you had a great reply to Mr. Neal. You really did some educating.
This is no more than another smear tactic. Once again someone is trying to transfer another’s persons view to being Sen. Obama’s view regardless if it is true or not. We really need to cut this stuff out and fix America. We need a president that is going to be for all Americans not just certain groups in America. President Obama will be a president to America not just, Whites, Blacks, Asians, Hispanics or whoever else.
Good Day, God Bless You and God Bless America.
ALL OF OBAMA’S “FRIENDS” VIEWS ARE ANTI-AMERICAN …
BIRDS OF A FEATHER …
LOOK FOR A LANDSLIDE OVER OBAMA ON THE SCALE OF MCGOVERN’S HUGE LOSS!
Well, enough is enough, all I hear from the Obamaists is blame “Whitey” and that blacks have been deprived…
In other words excuses for 24/7!
At least Hanoi Johnny hated only the troops - Obama hates all but the racist blacks.
His treatment of Hillary will cause even Dem women to stay home or vote for McCain.
Next time a black runs — nominate one that at a minimum, loves the USA!
Darryl-
That’s “David”…:)
Let the debates begin!
As much as I would like this tape to be real, I think it is impossible. The transcripts I’ve seen have her mentioning Katrina, but Katrina did not take place for more than a year after this event was said to have taken place.
This is garbage or the time or content are quoted incorrectly.
Isn’t it a little difficult to imagine the GOP being hiding a tape but not being able to keep it a secret from bloggers?
McCain makes racist slur against Asian people.
“I hate the gooks,” McCain said yesterday in response to a question from reporters aboard his campaign bus. “I will hate them as long as I live.” McCain, a former Navy pilot who spent five years in a Vietnamese prisoner of war camp, was questioned about the language because of a story last month in the Nation magazine reporting his continued use of the slur. Since then, reports of McCain’s language have been circulating on Internet chat sites and e-mails among Asian Americans, many of whom find the the term offensive and inappropriate for an elected official. McCain’s appeal to voters has been as a wartime hero and a feisty politician who speaks his mind and damns the consequences. But his comments on the eve of the key South Carolina primary show the candidate’s vaunted “straight talk” in another light.
“The use of a racist slur can’t be acceptable for any national leader, regardless of his background,” said Diane Chin, executive director of the San Francisco-based Chinese for Affirmative Action. “For someone running for president not to recognize the power of words is a problem.”
“Historically, straight talkers who say things off the top of their heads eventually hang themselves with those sorts of remarks,” said Bruce Cain, a political scientist at the University of California at Berkeley. McCain made no apologies yesterday.
“I was referring to my prison guards,” McCain said, “and I will continue to refer to them in language that might offend some people because of the beating and torture of my friends.” McCain made it clear that his anger extends only toward his captors. As a senator, he was one of the leaders of the postwar effort to normalize U.S. relations with Vietnam.
But the racial slur used by the senator has a long, painful history that is felt by many Asian Americans. The word “gook” was first used in 1899 by American soldiers fighting Filipino insurgents. During the Korean War, the term was aimed at Koreans and Chinese. It was directed at the Vietnamese when Americans were fighting in Vietnam. It is now used as a slur toward any Asian or Pacific Islander.
The horrors of the past cannot be an excuse for hurting people in the present, said Guy Aoki, president of the Media Action Network for Asian Americans, an anti-defamation group. “If Sen. McCain had been captured by Nigerians, could he call those people `ni**ers’ and think he wasn’t going to offend everyone who is black?” Akoi asked. “We can all feel for what he went through, but if that’s his level of sensitivity, I’m very disappointed.” “I will call right now, my interrogator that tortured me, a gook,” McCain said. “(I can’t believe that) anybody doesn’t believe these interrogators and prison guards were cruel and sadistic people who deserve the worst appellations possible.” McCain said he does not consider the comment an epithet.
“Gook,” he said, “is the kindest appellation I can give.”
Well, the REAL truth is is that OBAMA and his wretched wife are Reverse RACISTS..they support Farrakhan, believe the White Race to be the root of all the ills of society…yet, it is because of the desire for freedom for all human beings, that our forefathers came to the US and created the most amazing nation ever to exist in history.
Yet, they hate it….hmmmm
Dr. Pinctus-
And everything you said is just hype that the Republican are advancing to scare White Americans.
Yet, we will never see the level of hype for Cindy McCain’s drug addiction and theft of drugs. Actually it was more than that because she had doctors write scripts for her employees as a way to get the drugs… And McCain didn’t notice this for 3 years!!!
American’s better wake up!! Obama is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He is only good at making speeches. We know very little about him. Check out this video on his dirty polistics in Chicago to win the senate.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3Ned5TQoW4
Wake up before it is too late for our country!
Only in pathetic America do conversations like this mean something. What a pitiful country where you people point at each other and spew hate. It explains why America is no particularly important to the world anymore except as a country which the rest of the world owns. Hysterically sad. Amerika . . . the great police state and intellectual power. Keep fighting amongst yourselves please, the rest of the world simply does not care.
Scy,
You stated the truth in very simple terms. Now,go to the rest of white Amerika and convert them to Americans.
It’s a sad state of affairs when a great nation like America can’t find a better candidate for president than that dipstick, Osama Obama.
The more people know about Obama’s background the less they’ll like him. He and his wife are both (like most liberals) America-haters.
Why are all the liberals on this board illiterate?
I very much HOPE EVERYONE LIKES THE HIGH GAS PRICES, HOME FORECLOSURES, AND OUR TROOPS GETTING THEIR HEADS BLOWN OFF IN A SENSELESS WAR. WE LIVE IN AN AGE WHERE OUR PRIORITIES CAN BE EASILY SHIFTED BECAUSE WE THINK SOMEONE HURT OUR LITTLE FEELINGS. MICHELLE I DOUBT VERY SERIOUSLY SAID THOSE THINGS. BUT IF WE ARE TO BELIEVE SHE DID WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO? SLEEP UNDER A BRIDGE, WALK TO WORK (OOPS WE’D BE UNEMPLOYED) AND CONTINUE IN A WAR (FOR THE NEXT 100 YEARS) ALL BECAUSE WE THINK MICHELLE SAID SOMETHING WE CAN’T PROVE! WE WERE A MUCH SMARTER NATION IN THE 60′S. WE’VE BEEN INUNDATED WITH SO MUCH BRITNEY SPEARS IN THE NEWS WE’RE TREATING THE CAMPAIGN AS A “HE SAID, SHE SAID”. WE ARE LACKING MATURITY AS A COUNTRY AND WE NEED TO TAKE ON THE INTELLIGENCE OF THE 60′S GENERATION AND KICK THE “TMZ, GOSSIP” MENTALITY TO THE CURB. WE ARE IN A STATE OF EMERGENCY. GET OVER IT! IT’S A LIE! UNLESS YOU LIKE THE STATE OF THE COUNTRY NOW, THEN GET BACK ON COURSE AND DISCUSS THE REAL ISSUES, BEFORE EVERYONE OF EVERY RACE, CREED, AND CULTURE WHO RESIDES IN AMERICA GETS THE SHORT END OF THE STICK. WAKE UP, UNITE AND LETS BRING THIS COUNTRY BACK TO GREATNESS AND BEYOND. I AM SO SICK OF DIVISION AND BACKSTABBING AMONG PEOPLE WHO ARE DETERMINED TO HAVE “ONE UP” ON THEIR FELLOW CITIZENS. WE ALL WILL EVENTUALLY SUFFER IF WE DO NOT HUMBLE OURSELVES, LOOK OUT FOR OUR FELLOW MAN AND MAKE CHANGE. BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, BUSH SOLD EVERYONE OUT…BLACK, WHITE, YELLOW, AND GREEN. I DON’T THINK ANYONE WHO IS IN FORECLOSURE WILL BE ABLE TO SAY “I WHITE SO I NEED A BREAK,,,OR I’M BLACK SO I NEED A BREAK.” FORECLOSURE IS FORECLOSURE, HIGH GAS PRICES ARE HIGH GAS PRICES, YOUR SONS AND DAUGHTERS IN IRAQ ARE JUST THAT….IN IRAQ. SO WITH ALL THAT SAID, DO I GIVE A HOOT-NANNY ABOUT MICHELLE OBAMA AND SOME ALLEDGED TAPE. UNDERSTAND THIS, THOSE WHO ARE SUPPOSEDLY INSULTED BY A NON-EXISTENT TAPE WILL GO TO THE SAME HELL IN A HANDBASKET AS ANYONE ELSE IF THE ECONOMY AND WAR STAY ON THE SAME COURSE. USE COMMON SENSE AND SHAKE THE “RACE” ISSUES OUT OF YOUR HEAD. WE ARE HUMANS ON A EARTH THAT NEEDS TO SAVED AND IT CAN ONLY BE SAVED WITH UNITY. IT IS ONLY ONE RACE, THE HUMAN RACE. LETS MOVE ON, THIS IS NOT THE 1800′S. WE GOT IPODS AND TECHNOLOGY BUT WE NEED AN UPGRADE FOR OUR MINDS….THATS ALL I’M THROUGH!
The truth about Michelle
Lie:
On May 30th, Rush Limbaugh said he had heard a rumor that a tape exists of Michelle Obama using the word “Whitey” from the pulpit of Trinity United Church of Christ.
Truth:
No such tape exists. Michelle Obama has not spoken from the pulpit at Trinity and has not used that word.
Lie:
Blogger Larry Johnson wrote on May 31st that he would add “New and dramatic developments. This is a heads up. I’ll post the news Monday morning by 0900 hours. Now I know why people who have seen the videotape say it is stunning. Barack’s headaches are only starting.”
Truth:
Johnson posted no such update.
Lie:
Proven GOP sleazemeister Roger Stone said on Fox News on June 1st that “there’s a buzz, which I believe now to be credible, that some indelible record exists” of a tape of Michelle Obama using the term “whitey.”
Truth:
Stone conceded on June 2nd that he hasn’t met anyone who has seen the tape and that it therefore may be a hoax.
Lie:
“The Michelle Obama Rant Tape was filmed between June 26th - July 1st 2004 in Chicago, IL at the Rainbow/PUSH Coalition Conference at Trinity United Church: specifically the Women’s Event.”
Truth:
Michelle Obama was not on a panel, and the Rainbow Push Conference was at the Sheraton.
FOR A COPY OF THE CONFERENCE SCHEDULE: http://web.archive.org/web/20040811233750/corona.tpsgi.com/rpc/Conference_Schedule.htm
Well, as loudly as they’re denying the tape exists and as indignant as they’re acting that the issue has even been raised, Obama and his people better pray that they’re right! If, after all their outrage, that tape surfaces in October, McCain will sweep the country.
Kim,
I doubt that story about the tape is true. If the tape has really been doctored to that extent, it will be very obvious in the video. You can splice audio like that, but doing it with audio/video is another thing entirely. The Republicans aren’t that stupid.
Personally, I think that it’s no better than 50/50 that the tape exists. But based on her Princeton thesis as well as some of the other comments she’s made, as well as on the fact that she’s been a regular parishoner at Trinity United Church for many years, I have absolutely no problem whatsoever believing that she would say what she’s being quoted here as saying. To me, the only question is whether someone’s actually caught it on tape and whether the Republicans have gotten a copy of it.
Obsessed with race in America and with her own blackness? I think this would be an issue you would be forced to think about a great deal as well, if you were a member of a minority race in the US. Is she obsessed, or thinking intelligently about something that pertains to her world experience in a way an observer could never really understand?
Michelle Obama still has a chip on her shoulder. Why, I dont know. She has had every advantage this country has to offer. However she speaks with the term WE. WE decided to do this, WE decided to run for office. She intends to be as much a part of an Obama administration as he is. We should all be wary of a woman who has had so many advantages in her life and still harbours a hatred for the white race. Does she just have an inferiority complex? I would never be surprised if she did and still does rant about whitey. If you ask me she sounds downright mean, aggressive, and has taken advantage of every opportunity because of her race. She is not gracious, warm and kind. She is Preachy, Finger shaking, And angry. Why? Gets me! but of course some people are never satisfied!!!
I hate racism! That’s why I could never support Obama. Someday we will have a candidate of color that didn’t associate with a church/minister that hates America and is not married to a woman who hates America and who himself assciates with people who bomb federal buildings etc. Sad that the Dems can’t seem to field a pro American candidate!
How sad these right wing loonies are going after Mrs Obama. Smear, smear, smear and lets stay away from the real issues.
The right wing fringe is once again showing their true unpatriotic colors. The Hannity and Limbaughs who hate America and love only ratings.
Still no tape, yet so many still believe this stupid rumor. BTW, how come no one in the media ever question Pat Robertson’s or Jerry Falwell’s patriotism when they both blamed 9/11 on America? Even Franklin Graham was touting that America needs to repent, regarding 9/11; implying that America was at fault. I guess only non-whites can be unpatriotic.
Obama is not the messiah. Its is disgusting that “black folks” blame “white folks” for being racist after the rantings of Wright. You cannot simiss them or put them in to context….the message is hate. Why is it wrong for “white folks” to criticize these rantings of Wright? White folks don’t understand?
White folks might understand that they will have to pay for an eternity for the sins of our forefathers. Walk on eggshells so white folks wont set off the racist booby trap. Get over it! Black folks are just as obtuse as White folks when it comes to racism.
Bottom line Obama is a weak candidate who is promising you the world. He cannot deliver. Some would consider it audacious that he would consider himself presidential material based on his qualifications. I’m sure that will be taken out of context.
BTW Black or not do not correct peoples grammar in online postings
@TH
It’s not about the context of Wright’s words, but about fairness. How come Falwell, Robertson, or Graham’s patriotism hasn’t come into question? Wright fought for the US, how about the other three?
Forefathers?!?!? are you kidding me? Blacks went to segregated schools up until the 60’s. If schools were segregated, how do you think blacks faired in the job market? This isn’t ancient history, but a generation ago. America has come a long way. Some blacks will talk and act like as if nothing has changed, and that is wrong. Many blacks, suffer from the works of their own hands. Yet, it is just as wrong for a white person to act as if they didn’t grow up with inherent advantages over blacks. My 40ish year old siblings were born in the colored side of hospitals. Most of those hospital workers and officials are alive and kicking. So lets not act like racism is limited to Klansmen and people who were photographed in black and white.
Every few years many Universities conduct a simple experiment. They take a black man and a white man. Both people apply for jobs with similar creditials, try to purchase a car, and rent an apartment. All experiments show that the white man gets the job, apartment, and the car for a cheaper price. Until experiments like these regularly give different results, then whites need to stop whining. If its painful to hear blacks complaining, imaging how painful it is to be held back or discriminated against.
this is just the latest work of the kkk. its no coincidence that the McCain campaign has kkk ties.
why do you think Hillary did not give up her delegates. she knows about the tape. she is hoping by the time convention takes place the super delegates may have to change their minds and nominate her. thats the chance she is hoping for.
this is my opionion. i havent heard this from anyone else.
