Obama's critics

For your perusal:::

I am a white American Protestant.
In regard to what America has done toward Negroes through the years since 1776, if I were black, I would hold an underlying animosity at the least and a seething hatred at the most for all of that terrible treatment.
In a country where many whites still hold an abiding disregard for African Americans, it is remarkable that Obama is able to set all this aside and use his intelligence and wherewithal to move into the highest area of prominence in the land and interact with anyone and everyone as though he was being treated like this is an equal playing field.
If Obama wins the presidency, this will indicate that enough of the voting public are able to set the hatred aside as he is doing. Even more devastating to contemplate, if he loses, there aren’t enough of the voting public who can do this in the year 2008 - 232 years after the US became a nation.


Note: Reverend Wright has spoken out about the anti-Negro attitudes, beliefs and policies. One must admit that there is justification for much of what he calls attention to.

As for Bill Ayers, he has been critical of US policies in Vietnam in the 1960’s and 1970’s. Lots of other well reputed folks have done the same.

It must be remembered that in a democracy such as ours, the citizens have the constitutional right and responsibility to critique government policies and practices.

McCain’s and Palin’s accusations make the US sound like a police state.
