Welcome to Pastorgate.com. Our aim is to remind
the American voters that actions speak louder than words.
Barack Obama wrote the below statements in his book, Dreams
of my Father. As you read these, contrast them with Obama's lecturing
about how we need to rise above race.
" I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and
animosity against my mother's race." (Barack Obama's mother
is white)
"I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13,
when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to
whites."
"Desperate times called for desperate measures, and for many blacks,
times were chronically desperate. If nationalism could create a strong
and effective insularity, deliver on its promise of self-respect, then
the hurt it might cause well-meaning whites, or the inner turmoil it
caused people like me, would be of little consequence."
"To avoid being mistaken for a [racial] sellout, I chose my friends
carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students.
The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock
performance poets. We smoked cigarettes and wore leather jackets. At
night, in the dorms, we discussed neocolonialism, Franz Fanon, Eurocentrism,
and patriarchy." (Remember, Reverend Wright believes that Eurocentrists,
a.k.a white people, think everyone else is inferior.)
"As it was, I learned to slip back and forth between my black and white worlds, understanding that each possessed its own language and customs and structures of meaning, convinced that with a bit of translation on my part the two worlds would eventually cohere. Still, the feeling that something wasn’t quite right stayed with me, a warning that sounded whenever a white girl mentioned in the middle of conversation how much she liked Stevie Wonder; or when a woman in the supermarket asked me if I played basketball; or when the school principal told me I was cool."
'It was obvious that certain whites could be exempted from the general category of our distrust: Ray was always telling me how cool my grandparents were. The term white was simply a shorthand for him, I decided, a tag for what my mother would call a bigot. And although I recognized the risks in his terminology-how easy it was to fall into the same sloppy thinking that my basketball coach had displayed (“There are white folks, and then there are ignorant motherfuckers like you,” I had finally told the coach before walking off the court that day)-Ray assured me that we would never talk about whites as whites in front of whites without knowing exactly what we were doing. Without knowing that there might be a price to pay."
And don't forget this comment which seems to be in contrast to the message
coming from the Obama campaign:
"I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."
"I Studied the Koran."
