Barack Obama: “I can no more disown him, than I can the Black Community” This tells us more than his words! You do not join a football team, if you do not like football!

I just really can’t believe I heard what I heard! Barack Obama talked, but he didn’t say anything! All he did was try to glamorize the hatred that his church and according to him, that the black community feels! “I can no more disown him, than I can the Black Community”, that is the quote that stands out, this is the quote that bothers me. His speech today was as his speeches always are, very eloquent, yet empty. I think that a post HotAir.com puts it best:

It’s essentially a non-distancing distancing, akin to the non-apology apology. He excuses Wright’s anti-American rhetoric with a mixture of rationalizations

Finally, Barack Obama sounds like a true politician! My feelings are this, I could never believe that ALL people in the black community, nationwide, could agree with the hatred espoused by that church! Again, read this post on Sweetness-Light.com with this in mind, do you honestly believe that “The Media” is picking on Reverend Wright for a few “out of context” remarks? Read more

Ancestors: Past, present, and future? Why is America so divided? Why is Race/Nationality still an issue?

Ok, this is a topic that has people completely and totally divided, but why? Where did your ancestors come from? I am not asking this to be funny, this is a serious matter! Yes, I am a white guy, but what is my nationality? Well, I was born in Texas, that makes me an American, right?

I have ancestors from Germany, and Sicily, does that make me a German-Sicilian-American? No, just an American. Doesn’t this same rule apply to everyone? No! Why is it that some won’t let go of the past?

Just because your grandfather came here from Mexico, why are you a Mexican-American? Why is it that people whose ancestors came here 200 plus years ago, are still called African-American?

Here is the way I see it, if you know who Dikembe Mutumbo is, (excuse me if I spelled that wrong), he is from Africa, and Plays basketball with the Houston Rockets, if he were to become an American Citizen, he would be an African-American, because he was born there, right? If he was to have children born here, they would be Americans, right?

Doesn’t an ancestor represent the past? I know about Germany, because I lived there, I married a girl from there and have a daughter, who was born there, guess what, she is a German! They don’t have any body that calls themselves American-Germans! So what is up with America? But my family, from there or elsewhere, became Americans! Many even changed their name so that it sounded more American, what happened to assimilation? Read more
