Define "hate filled"...

Yeah, fir white folks, who have always had the stack rigged in their favor, for a black person to say that the "deck is stacked against us" to say that is "hate filled" is about beyond reason...

Those thoughts, in themselves, are as racist as any KKK'r burnin' crosses in folks front yards...

Yeah, lotta white folks are as clueless as clueless can be here...

I done some time in black churches in the South and lerant up my lessons well...

Lotta white folk ain't got one bit of a clue what is like to be black in America... I don't either bvut I have at least been in the trenches and it ain't purdy... It's downright disgustrin'...

If there is one thing that I wished upon white America is that each and every one of us would have to spend a month as black... If tghat were to happen then we'd have a lot less absoluite insensitiveity here...

Like I said, I been in black churches... I understand... Civil rights came outta black churches... It happened because clergy took stands...

I remember the 60's and the minister of the church I grew up in took a stance against the Vietnam War and he was history within a month... Split the church down the middle...

Gay rights have split churches...

Churches ahve been institutions of social change... For Obama's minister to follow in that tradition is not a sin...
