Right Up Front: Obama's "Race Speech" Offensive

Besides that fact that the living God admitted today to lying on national television, his "race speech" was offensive and marks a giant leap forward for those who appreciate race baiting and victimization. The speech no doubt resonated with his followers, whose bobble head reaction was predictable. But for those of us not willing to buy into the Obama cult, the Reverend Wright scandal was not about race. It was about a presidential candidates mentor and spiritual leader accosting America, saying we brought 9-11 on ourselves and "inventing" the HIV virus. It was about a presidential canidate who claims he wants to unite the country having attended a church for twenty years in which an indignant agitator chants "God damn America!!".

First, the lie. In an inteview with Fox New's Major Garret, Obama claimed he had never heard such heinous remarks from Reverend Wright before. And had he ever heard such ridiculous blather, he'd have surely quit the church. But today, in his speech, Obama admitted, "Did I ever hear him make remarks that could be considered controversial while I sat in church? Yes." So, what you're saying, Senator, is that you willingly lied to a national TV audience about whether or not you had ever heard these kinds of remarks and you lied about rather or not you would leave the church, since you obviously have not.

Then Barack lays into white people, blaming them for all of the black communities problems and calling whites racist, stupid, conformist followers. "Anger over welfare and affirmative action helped forge the Reagan Coalition. Politicians routinely exploited fears of crime for their own electoral ends. Talk show hosts and conservative commentators built entire careers unmasking bogus claims of racism while dismissing legitimate discussions of racial injustice and inequality as mere political correctness or reverse racism".

The "race speech" was laced with images of victimhood and sorrow, the raison d'etre of of today's "civil rights" movement. I know discrimination. I have been called "faggot" and "queer", and I have been made to sit on the sidelines while my fellow citizens reap the benefits of a heterosexual culture. But I was raised in a family and culture that teaches me that victimhood is not an option; that you pick yourself up by the bootstraps; that you make your own opportunities. My sexuality will never be an excuse for my shortcomings or failures, for I am in control of my own destiny.

Barack Obama today displayed typical race baiting that plays on the fears of black America and perpetuates a culture of victimhood in the black community that stifles progress and discourages success. The entire country would be better off without it.

That, my friends, is right up front.
