The president ial. They are like they are really close together. Obama got away with it because he read his quest for the presidency as divinely ordained so he usurped the prophetic prerogative and then it was passed upon him looking for the end result of political power was disempowered at the very moment when he should have been riding writing gunshots with the statistic barack obama and and the faroe figure now assumed prophetic power. It was a brilliant move but also was unfortunate because barack obama wouldnt be who he is without Jeremiah Wright being who he is. Host barack obama and the politics of race very familiar to another title. Thank you so much for being controversial and always sparking conversation. Thats who you are. What is the take away from this book in the few remaining moments we have left . Guest people can see my love for this man. I see his remarkable imprint upon this culture that i also have an obligation to lovingly criticize him and engage him in a convers
Howd that titlet into in of your book. I want to begin with this quote from your book, real racism still exists in modern america and it hurts real people. When hustlers like al sharpton and liberals are quick to label from voter i. D. Laws to the shooting of lack teams. T it diminishes the rightful intention that true racism should receive, so what is true racism and why are some of the issues that are brought up in that example are not racism . Guest aye vote a chapter in the book con job to racism. Its my familys personal story of being discriminated against. When i was a little girl and we apply to a country club and we were told that they didnt want my parents to be members because they were black and that case actually went all the way up to the u. S. Court of appeals at the time in 1980, 81 when it went to the Appeals Court the u. S. Justice Department Filed antm amicus brief because it said 13 years after the Civil Rights Act had passed this is not whatis america was about so t
I want to hear about candidates policies to make all lives better. So right now, there is a race going on a democrat side with the candidates to get socalled black endorsements. It is fast and furious, their meeting with al sharpton. I dont know about you john, but im a black woman. I speak for myself. You was a white man dont have white people telling you how to vote. Why arent Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders getting the endorsement of socalled white americans and so fault socalled white spokespeople . They should be talking that their agenda for black america and they havent. Hillary clinton supported her husbands crime bill which locked up and incarcerated more black men than any president in u. S. History. He created the disparagement between sentencing of crack and crack cocaine and cocaine. That led to the mass incarceration of black americans. I would argue that neither candidate has done anything in their decades of services to help black americans. In your bookue that they
I have a feeling that we would probably not agree on manye firt things. But after hearing her, i think that i might change my opinion. So the first is i do sincerely disagree with you respectfully. But with your definition of tru. Racism versus i suppose you categorize it as not racism. I think that your definition should be broadened to include lookover versus overt racism which is really the definition that you probably should be speaking to. But my other statement is that i agree with you in some aspects and that the Democratic Party probably should not have a lock on this. And its not very informed of some voters. Myself, i suppose that i identified with the democrats because i voted democratically in every election. But as i get older i become mor, informed and i suppose i becomeu more active in the political process. I believe that i have changed my understanding of who i should vote for. I think thank you. You make some great observations of racism. And i think racism if i had m
