No, he's Christian but his church is a radical black church! blah blah blah...<BR/><BR/>With white men, it's only 'are they manly enough?' but for women and minorities there are multiple other characteristics that people play against each other.Ripleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13114450991313418333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140753599557753204.post-87928241554324684492007-08-12T18:15:00.000-04:002007-08-12T18:15:00.000-04:00Thanks for your thoughts, deborah!

Our candidates need to start questioning the media loudly and often. <BR/><BR/>The mainstream media is constantly framing issues in ways that make sense to them and their corporate masters, but do not make sense to average Americans because they do not reflect reality. What does "black enough" mean? Is it economically based? Is it his skin color? I doubt even those asking the question know.<BR/><BR/>Similarly, what does "progress" mean in Iraq? Who is gauging it? What, for that matter, does "winning" mean in Iraq? The MSM mentions these words all the time as if they meant something, when in fact, they are just empty slogans hung on an even emptier policy organism.<BR/><BR/>I disagree with you about Hillary, but I sure wouldn't mind if Barack Obama became our next President. Wouldn't mind at all. :-)madamabhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13182478139356658751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140753599557753204.post-59095667273470205732007-08-12T12:39:00.000-04:002007-08-12T12:39:00.000-04:00The fact that black journalists ask questions of O...The fact that black journalists ask questions of Obama about his blackness over Hillary and her deception is foolish, almost ignorant.<BR/><BR/>Of all the questions that have a need to be asked, why there is the question of blackness to Barack Obama and not the rest of the Dems? <BR/><BR/>Is it maybe the token blacks who got over on status quo, happened to get the pedigree just don't care about the so many who are living at or below the poverty line, dealing with racism, as well dying from the killing of each other?<BR/><BR/>Mm Obama is winning all of the time, except the MSM, NABJ are not tuned in. BarackObama.com, Youtube, Facebook, Yahoo, Internet are all places where he is winning in a landslide. He is the best choice and if no one sees it then they want Hillary, by which the remnants of Bush will remain.schedulerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14375676085190934980noreply@blogger.com
