Obama & the preacher-man debacle

i have been a fan of Obama since he spoke at the democratic convention in '04! i didn't notice he was black then...and guess WHAT? he is just as much WHITE as he is BLACK! i don't get it. are people really so racist? what makes a difference if he's half jewish, half swedish, half african?? granted, there's that whole slavery issue, none of which his family was a party to, nor were many other african-american families in this country! get a grip, a-holes!

OMG...i was raised southern baptist. i 'know' these preacher/pastor guys! they just say things! i went to 'church camp' every summer until i was 15. southern baptist preachers (SBPs) are the biggest racists out there whether their skin is black or white. i was told i would go to hell if i didn't stop hangin' around with catholics. SBPs seem to have their own spin on the bible.

for Obama to have to justify knowing and respecting this guy for 20 years is ludicrous! he went to church, got religion, the guy was his pastor...i doubt the last 20 years this preacher-man has yelled constantly about race and this damnable america. and hasn't someone you've respected said stuff you haven't agreed with? come on!

i swear, if it wasn't for the media takin' this crap on like it's a sequel to some major movie drama and youtube didn't exist would this be important? an issue? known about? do ya reckon hillary's 'team' put them up to it?

i say the whole preacher/pastor debacle isn't gonna hurt Obama at all...people have got to be smarter than that! don't they?
