Barack Obama Will Unite This Nation By Saying Crazy Old Black Men And Crazy Old White Women Are Both Old, Crazy
19 March 2008, 12:25 PM. By Daniel Mauser
Black, non-female presidential hopeful, Barack Obama, recently tried to distance himself from Jeremiah Wright, the charismatic and hopefully audacious “Liberation Theologian” and Senior Pastor of Obama’s Trinity Church by saying:
I can no more disown [Jeremiah Wright] than I can my white grandmother – a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.
Jeremiah Wright’s church has often been accused of promoting Black separatism and, possibly, racist or racially-charged rhetoric. Some -people with access to computers- journalists have even gone so far as to accuse Obama of racism for ignoring or underplaying the White side of his family, particularly his maternal grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, whom he mentioned in the speech above as being, well. Pretty typical of women of her generation, we’d wager.
Either way, it’s interesting to us how Obama chose to handle the controversy surrounding Rev. Wright and his message. By saying that he can’t disown Wright and his Church just as he can’t disown his grandmother and her racist thoughts, isn’t he essentially equating the two? And, if that’s so, and because he cannot easily literally disown his relatives, why would be not try to actively disown Rev. Wright? Why make the choice of aligning himself with someone who he is alluding to as holding and promoting racist, or at least harmful, beliefs?
We think the reason is obvious. Barack Obama? Doesn’t care about old people.

Yuck, you guanabee editors are turning into perez hilton with the constant obama bashing and ridiculous propaganda
it has turned me off for the last time…
and just like i don’t go on his site anymore, i will also bid you farewell
i am OUT permanently, PEACE!
p.s. don’t act like you don’t care either
@ rebekah: I’m not exactly sure where you’re finding Obama being bashed in this post. That said, I’m confident in saying we’re equal opportunity assholes. Except when it comes to David Archuleta.
Ay que Rebekah. You’re aure are one high maintenance, whiny ass chick. Where’s GBAN when you need him?
oooops and i can’t spell by the way…
meant “You sure are one…..”
@Rebekah: If you feel wronged by Guanabee, I encourage you to take out all of your anger on Cindy. But please leave Alex alone. Sure, she’s a self-identified asshole (who isn’t?), but she’s wonderful! Love her!
@Alex: :)
@jrod: I learned a valuable lesson a few weeks ago. If I attack Rebekah, all hell will break loose. Cindy will single me out and declare my words misogynistic (which is hypocritical). Guanabee readers will call me an idiot, a retard, or other lovely things. It’s me against Guanabee. Sure, I can take the punches, but you know what, it’s lonely at the top. If I had a soul, I’d cry.
Anyhoo, re: Obama’s speech, I commend him for discussing race in a very direct way, but he’s preaching to the choir. Honestly, I’m stunned by how the media is eating up his every word without hesitation. His wife and pastor have both made VERY questionable statements about America. And those statements contradict Obama’s message of unity and change. No one cares that he neglected to address the issue earlier, and, before the speech, he even made misleading comments suggesting that he had no idea that Wright had made the incendiary comments in question. That’s bull.
One more thing: it’s also interesting that the media is praising Obama’s message, and echoing his call for us to reevaluate the racial strife that exists between Whites and blacks. He mentioned slavery directly in his speech. Now, the media is talking about this issue to death–it’s like everyone’s excusing Wright’s hateful words and Obama’s clear lack of judgment.
Wright didn’t say anything that wasn’t true, Hillary has never been called “nigger” and has never been passed up by a taxi driver, but white folks are scared to talk about race. Wright was jus being inappropriate b/c he said it on the pulpit. And those selected sermons are single times in 6 years worth of sermons so we can’t generalize him.
@ GBAN: Obama has removed him as a spiritual advisor so what else can he do? He is now guilty by association.
He is trying to address this race issue to move past it so it’s not just ” a black man running against a white women” presidential race.
@xixa_xicana: First of all, I’m not blaming Obama for Wright’s hateful comments. That’s not the issue. Some of us (democrats) are now questioning his judgment, honesty, and electability. Those are the issues. Frankly, I don’t trust the man anymore. Let’s not pretend like he’s the messiah. He’s not. He’s a professional politician. Please don’t forget that.
Now, I’ve been called an idiot and a retard by Guanabee’s lovely readers, but I’m nobody’s fool (I feel like Mr. T right now)! According to some sources, Obama joined Wright’s church in the 80s in an effort to improve his political chances in Chicago. He made what seemed to be a smart move back then, joining an influential Black church in the Chicago area. Before the speech, he made misleading comments suggesting that he had no idea that his pastor had made the previously mentioned hateful comments. He then denounced those comments and claimed that they don’t reflect his personal values. Again, I’m nobody’s fool.
Obama has known Mr. Wright for 20 years. Interestingly, he even quotes and mentions Mr. Wright in his book several times. And, to make matters worse, he even used one of Wright’s phrases, The Audacity of Hope, as the title of one of his books. Oh, but it gets better. His lovely wife Michelle probably agrees with Pastor Wright (just read her undergrad thesis on Blacks and White America).
My point: We really don’t know who Obama is. He changes positions when it suits his political needs. When he wanted to gain political power in Chicago, he exploited Wright and his church. Now that he needs the White vote, he denounces Wright’s comments and distances himself from those values. This man is a walking contradiction. Will the real Barack Obama please stand up?
Seriously….what could Obama really know about race relations here in mainland America besides what he’s read in books? The guy grew up in Asia and in Hawaii where he was raised by white people. I’m not saying that he’s never experienced discrimination or racism BUT, I don’t think he’s the proper person to address a huge issue that goes on here in mainland America when he himself was never subject to it throughout his formative years. Not to mention his exclusion of other minorities when making his big “Race” speech….espcially a little group of people called “latinos” who make up the largest minority group in America (yes, larger than blacks). I’m sorry, but he did not learn that whole “preacher man” speech style in Honolulu. The guy is a clone.
GBAN: I’m coming for you…
@xica: Wright didn’t say anything that wasn’t true? So…. AIDS was invented by the US government to target people of color?
Yeah.
