| Latin1 | Posted – 6/1/2008 7:03:24 AM | show profile In his book "Dreams of My Father", Barack Obama wrote ' I never emulate white men AND BROWN MEN whose fates didn?t speak to my own. It was into my father?s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I?d packed all the attributes I sought in myself..'. Obama not only dislikes the attributes of 'white men', but also the attributes of 'brown men'...or Latinos. Remember Barack Obama spent his teenage years and young adult life in Chicago which has a extremely large "brown" Latino population. For a man who wants to be president of ALL Americans, including whites AND Latinos, he seems only interested in the 'fate' of those who remind him of his African father...and no one else. Here are a few more interesting quotes found in Barack Obama's writings; ...and people ask me why I don't care for Obama. Because Obama is racist, not only towards whites, but in HIS OWN writings, towards Latinos. |
| my ball...my rules | Posted – 6/1/2008 8:31:00 AM | show profile Its sad to see Obama throw his white grandmother under the bus.Now Obama has thrown his racist,hate white and America church. Obama will do and say anything to get elected. |
| zftcg | Posted – 6/1/2008 11:34:04 AM | show profile According to snopes.com, this is a distortion of what Obama wrote: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/ownwords.asp This statement is a rewording (two separate sentences have been conflated into one, further changing an intended meaning already obscured by the lack of context) of material from page 220 of Dreams of My Father. The material appears as part of a passage in which Barack Obama describes his profound disappointment in learning (from information provided by his half-sister, Auma) that the lofty image he had held all his life of his role model, his biological father (a man he barely knew, because Barack's father had left him and his mother when Barack was just two years old, and Barack had only seen his father once since then), was a flawed, idealized one. Here's the actual quote: Yes, I'd seen weakness in other men ? Gramps and his disappointments, Lolo [my adoptive father] and his compromise. But these men had become object lessons for me, men I might love but never emulate, white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela. So in fact, his use of "brown" in this sentence didn't even refer to Latinos, but rather his Indonesian stepfather. |
| Latin1 | Posted – 6/1/2008 8:23:28 PM | show profile Then Obama is an ingrate. Maybe it was not against Latinos, BUT it still shows that Obama is a racist and an ingrate and does not care about any 'fate' of other races, only his fathers. 1. If you read the sentence again it shows that Obama only cares about his Black side and does not care about the "fate" of those of other races....So how can he be a 'uniteder', when he only cares about his black side? 2. Obama is an ingrate. Like most whinning, crying spoiled brats they bite the hands that feeds them. Barack NEVER knew his black father and was not raised by him or around any black men, but instead attacks the "brown" man and white people who raised, clothed and educated him. This shows that Obama is a rotten ingrate. No black man raised him, bought his clothes, fed him, or sent him to school, that was the "brown" man and the white people in his life. Instead of saying how grateful he was he spits on them and aligns himself with a black 'ideal' he never met growing up. Not only does this show that he is a spoiled ingrate, but a racist also. Obama is an ungrateful brat. 3. thanks for finding that now here are some more of Obama's quotes; The media is way to focused on what Rev Wright is saying. What about what Obama himself has said? The media needs to quit focusing what Wright believes and start reporting how Obama believes!! We already know that the Obama supporters have given him a pass regarding Wright's opioions. In Obama's books, what he believes and feels: Quote from Barack Obama?s book, Dreams Of My Father: ?The person who made me proudest of all, though, was [half brother] Roy .. He converted to Islam.? From ?Dreams of my Father: ?In Indonesia, I had spent two years at a Muslim school? ?I studied the Koran..? From ?Audacity of Hope: ?Lolo (Obama?s step father) followed a brand of Islam ?.?I looked to Lolo for guidance?. From ?The Audacity Of Hope: ?I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.? From The Audacity Of Hope: ?We are no longer just a Christian nation,? ?We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.? From Dreams of My Father: ? I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER?S RACE?. From ?Dreams of my Father: ?The emotion between the races could never be pure?.. The other race would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart.? From ?Dreams of My Father: ?I ceased to advertise my mother?s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites? From Dreams Of My Father: ?never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn?t speak to my own. It was into my father?s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I?d packed all the attributes I sought in myself..?. From Dreams Of My Father: ?That hate hadn?t gone away,? he wrote, blaming ?white people ? some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.? From Dreams Of My Father: ?There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,? he wrote. ?It remained necessary to prove which side you were on,to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names? From Dreams Of My Father: ?I had grown accustomed, everywhere, to suspicions between the races.? Just how clear does Obama have to make his disdain for the white race and his admiration for Islam?? Imagine if Hillary or McCain had said: ? I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST THE BLACK RACE?. ?The emotion between the races could never be pure?.. The BLACK race would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart.? ?never emulate BLACK men whose fates didn?t speak to my own. It was into my father?s image, the WHITE MAN,- SON OF AMERICA,-that I?d packed all the attributes I sought in myself..?. IF A WHITE CANDIDATE HAD THOSE REMARKS OUT IN PRINT, THEY WOULD BE CRUCIFIED. So not only is Obama a spoiled ingrate to those who raised him, the "brown" man and the white people...he is a loony racist. |
| zftcg | Posted – 6/1/2008 10:07:46 PM | show profile Latin, I'm not going to bother asking if you read the book, since you obviously didn't, but could you at least check out the snopes link I provided above before repeating more of the distortions that are specifically refuted there? |
| Nikongirl | Posted – 6/1/2008 11:01:16 PM | show profile A Remedial reading and comprehension course could do wonders for you Latin. However you want to skew his words to suit your obsessive need to paint Obama as the bogey man come to life is lost on those with reading and comprehension skills. You make no difference here, go work on McCain's campaign and do something useful. Help your man get elected and stop wasting your time posting crap that no one gives a shit about. Cause like it or not Obama WILL be the next president. |

| chucho | Posted – 6/2/2008 9:21:56 AM | show profile I love snopes. And it's funny that Latin's claims are specifically addressed by snopes. You know what that means: it means Latin is scouring the web for crap on Obama and posting it here -- instead of thinking of these things himself (or herself). By the way: if I were black I would emulate white people or brown people either. I'd probably emulate being half white and half African American. So farking what! |
| mrejunkmail | Posted – 6/7/2008 5:52:45 PM | show profile Latin! WHO is the ingrate? You've been looking into Obama, fairly in-depth? Wow, you're scarier than anyone I've seen run for president in my lifetime. While I appreciate anyone doing their due diligence, you are one of those ignorant folks who opines on what thy read in an email. One of the quotes you attribute to Obama was complete fiction. The others are stated almost completely out of context. In another you imply he is racist because of what he thought when he was 12 or 13. Wow, talk about having to carry something around for your whole life so some ignorant hick can call you on something 35 years later that you thought AS A CHILD . Tell me you're not one of the morons who believes he's intelligent enough to vote. You're not. You don't have a clue how to do your homework. Next time you want to quote someone from their book, BUY THEIR BOOK. |
