Driving while xenophobic

Driving while xenophobic


April 18, 2008

Senator Barack Obama, under fire for his twenty-year association with controversial reverend Jeremiah has distanced himself from the reverend’s inflammatory remarks, but not the man. In a campaign appearance in February, Sen. Obama said, "I don't think my church is actually particularly controversial." He said Rev. Wright "is like an old uncle who says things I don't always agree with," telling a Jewish group that everyone has someone like that in their family.

An ABC News review of dozens of Rev. Wright's sermons, offered for sale by his United Trinity Church, found repeated denunciations of the U.S. based on what he described as his reading of the Gospels and the treatment of black Americans. Shortly after mainstream media picked up the incendiary reverend’s remarks, reverend Wright retired and the Senator distanced himself from the reverend apparently arguing that the senator never in his 20-year association with the church, spiritually inhaled.

One of the reverend’s sermons played over and over again in the media is the one where he asserts, "the government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, God damn America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people, God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme”. In an apparent, “good deeds are for show and sermons are for dough”, it has been reported the church is building a multi-million dollar mansion for the retired reverend in a predominately white neighborhood.

As a way forward, senator Obama has brought up the race card to the 2008 US presidential elections, arguing that unless the issue is discussed openly, there will not be healing. Then he brings up the bitter remark belittling the little people in little towns for their inclination to guns and religion.

Following Senator Obama’s suggestions, we thought it would be healthy to discuss the race issue from the new minority in the US:



Proud To Be White!

Someone finally said it.

How many are actually paying attention to this?

There are African Americans, Mexican Americans, Asian Americans,

Arab Americans, Native Americans, etc. .....And then there are just - Americans.

Some pass me on the street and sneer in my direction. They call me "White boy," "Cracker," "Honkey," "Whitey," "Caveman," .....And that's OK.

You say that whites commit a lot of violence against you, so why are the ghettos the most dangerous places to live?

They have the United Negro College Fund.

They have Hispanic History Month.

They have Martin Luther King Day.

They have Asian History Month.

They have Black History Month.

They have Cesar Chavez Day.

They have Ma'uled Al-Nabi.

They have Yom Hashoah.

They have Kawanza.

They have the NAACP.

And BET.

If we had WET (White Entertainment Television) .....We'd be racists.

If we had a White Pride Day .....You would call us racists.

If we had the White History Month .....We'd be racist.

If we had any organization for only whites to "advance" OUR lives, .....We'd be racists.

We have a Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, a Black Chamber of Commerce, and then we just have the plain Chamber of Commerce.

Wonder who pays for that?

If we had a college fund that only gave white students scholarships .....You know we'd be racists.

There are over 60 openly-proclaimed Black-only Colleges in the US , yet if there were "White-only Colleges" .....THAT would be a racist college.

In the Million-Man March, you believed that you were marching for your race and rights. If we marched for our race and rights, .....You would call us racists.

You are proud to be black, brown, yellow and red, and you're not afraid to announce it.

But when we announce our white pride.....You call us racists. You rob us, carjack us, and shoot at us.

But, when a white police officer shoots a black gang member or beats up a black drug-dealer who is running from the LAW and posing a threat to ALL of society .....You call him a racist.

I am proud. .....But, you call me a racist.

Why is it that only whites can be racists?



All good questions – wondering if these questions would be categorized under “driving while bitter xenophobic” by the Senator?
