"He has the ability to help us bridge the divide of religious extremism. To maybe even give power to moderate Islam to be able to stand up against this radical misinterpretation of a legitimate religion." So said Sen. John Kerry (D) about Sen. Barack Obama (D).
When asked why, Mr. Kerry said: "Because he's African-American. Because he's a black man who has come from a place of oppression and repression through the years in our own country."
Barack Obama was oppressed and repressed for years? It's my understanding that he led a life of near privilege, attending first private school and then Harvard, being elected first to state office and then to national office. What evidence is there that he was ever oppressed or repressed, or is this something Kerry simply takes for granted?
Barack Obama can help bridge the divide of religious extremism. He can give power to moderate Islam. Why? Because he's black?
He went on to say that Mr. Obama would be "an important lesson for America to show Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, other places in the world where disenfranchised people don't get anything."
So, America should elect a black man because it would be "an important lesson"?
This is a racial comment: That's a good looking black woman.
This is not a racial comment: That's a good looking woman.
A liberal wouldn't understand the difference between the two. Their racism is as unconscious and as natural to them as breathing.
