As we get closer and closer to the election, more bits and pieces about Barack [middle name redacted] Obama are leaking out. Today, Kenneth Timmerman reports on Obama's close ties to Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan:
A former top deputy to Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan tells Newsmax that Barack Obama’s ties to the black nationalist movement in Chicago run deep, and that for many years the two men have had “an open line between them” to discuss policy and strategy, either directly or through intermediaries.Farrakhan is more plain-spoken than Obama:
Farrakhan has called Jews “bloodsuckers,” “satanic” and accused them of running the slave trade. He has labeled gays as “degenerates.” In a 2006 speech, the ADL again condemned Farrakhan when he said: “These false Jews promote the filth of Hollywood that is seeding the American people and the people of the world and bringing you down in moral strength. … It's the wicked Jews the false Jews that are promoting lesbianism, homosexuality. It's wicked Jews, false Jews that make it a crime for you to preach the word of God, then they call you homophobic!"But Obama evidently shares more of Farrakhan's views than he would like his Jewish followers to believe:
Obama was careful to “denounce” Farrakhan’s comments – but not the man -- during the Democratic primary season earlier this year, but only after Hillary Clinton called him out for benefiting from Farrakhan’s support.And don't forget:
Farrakhan endorsed Obama in a videotaped speech to his followers at Mosque Miryam in Chicago in February. “You are the instruments that God is gonna use to bring about universal change, and that is why Barack has captured the youth,” Farrakhan said.What flavor Kool Aid do you think those Jews for Obama were drinking?
FIRST, I question the credibility of Vibert White's accusations about how "close" Obama and Farrakhan are. Why did White leave the Nation of Islam in the first place, after 25 years? While I do agree that any high-profile Black person in Chicago would have to have some contact with Farrakhan if they wanted support from the Black community, I suspect vindictiveness from White against Farrakhan for some reason, and probably jealousy against Barack Obama for his achievements. And for those who are "concerned" that Obama attended or even participated in the Million Man March, you should try EDUCATING yourself on what was the TRUE purpose of the march. You had over a million Black men (most of whom were NOT muslim, by the way), getting together for the purpose of encouraging one another to be better human beings: to be better and more involved fathers, to be a better partner to their girlfriend/wife, to be active in a positive way to better their communities. I watched the event on T.V., it was not a call to Black men to hate and terrorize White people LOL. BUT, all you have to do is say that a million Black men got together and that Louis Farrakhan was involved, and you can scare the crap out of people, that's for sure lol.
ReplyDeleteEveryone needs to GROW UP and relax, because Barack Obama is NOT a "black nationalist" lol. On the contrary, he believes (and hopes) that his biracial heritage will be part of what will bring Black and White people together, rather than bring us further apart, because both groups can relate to him. Is he guilty of being a dreamer, an idealist? Yes. Is he a "racist", No.
You conveniently left out this portion of the Chicago Reader article in which Obama comments on black nationalism:
"Obama thinks elected officials could do much to overcome the political paralysis of the nation's black communities. He thinks they could lead their communities out of twin culs-de-sac: the type of politics which only helps a few upwardly mobile blacks to "move up, get rich, and move out"--and the equally impractical politics of black rage and black nationalism"
Barack Obama DOES NOT support black nationalism.
