I believe that everybody is missing the point with Obama and his Pastor. He has got everybody where he wants them and everybody is playing to his tune. What I mean is I hear everybody is comparing him and his Pastor to a white politician and a white church and this is the wrong approach. Yes it would be different but by doing this I believe many blacks will run to his defense and I don’t blame them. They are saying they are only going after him because he is black. But, if you compared him and his pastor to a black Republican it would be different. For if he was a black Republican going to a church like this the liberals would crucify him. We need to point out the difference between a black Democrat and a black Republican. When ever you see a successful black, who is a Republican, if they are also a conservative and are talking about hard work and personal responsibility they are an Uncle Tom. We need to get away from this black and white comparison. For until we are able to move forward and get away from this we will keep on playing into the hands extremist in both the radical left and right.
Just look at J.C. Watts, Michal Steel, Condi Rice, Colin Powell, and Justice Clarence Thomas just to name a few. All of these are good people who worked hard to get where they are and had problems with the Liberal Democrats.
