Ain't pullin' rank, GG...

We are all a sum total of our experiences and My life's experiences had me workin' as a communtiy organizer for a CAP program, a jail house teacher, a social worker and a drug rehab couselor for the first 20 years of my working life... All these experiences were in inner city Richmond, Va. and almost exlusively working with and living with black people...

Does this make me a better person than anyone else here??? No, but it does provide me with a perspective that some folks are now overlooking...

We have long avioded an all imporatnt discussion about race... BIll Clinton tried to get it going back 'round '96 and ther push back was fast and furious...

The reason we don't have this discussion is becuase the "white power structure" would rather rather keep it buried because it may end end a discussion about "repair"ations and that scares the crud outta the "white power structure"...

That ain't patronizing... It's my observations... Yeah, a balck man stand up and tell a white woman that she don't know nuthin' about being black ain't patronizing... It's the truth... And for Bill Clinton to suggest that he was the first black president??? NHow that is patronizing...

I mean, lets get friggin' real here... We've had decades of hate speech spewed from the pulpits of white churches demonizing pro-choicers, gays, liberals, anti-war folks and just about any other group of people who don't fit into the Suzie Creamcheeze mold and guess what, GG??? Where's the outrage... Yeah, we've had parisheners go out and burn black churches and kill doctors because of this hate filled crap blown down on them by right winged redneck preachers...

So, I say "Get over it" whene a black preacher makes an observation that Hillary Clinton doesn't know what iot is l;ike to be black... That ain't hate filled... It's reality...

As for "Obabma's sins"??? That, like the sins of all of us, is between him and God... If he sins aginst you then you have a beef but, frankly, I don't see where Obama has sinned aginst anyobne... He lives his life, IMO, as a man of Faith and as a good Chruistain...
