This should get the blood pounding for a few Democrats, but apparently Obama's church, and it's outspoken pastor are racists. On it's website, the Trinity United Church of Christ (Obama's church) introduces itself as....-->-->-->
We are a congregation which is unashamedly black and unapologetically Christian,†“We are an African people and remain true to our native land, the mother continent, the cradle of civilization.†-->-->
When the Aryan nation makes this same statement, with the color appropriately changed, it is racist statement--so why is this not a racist statement as well.-->-->
This Church and it's pastor are pledged to a Black Value System includes such items as commitment to God, education, and self-discipline, it refers to “our racist competitive society†and includes the disavowal of the pursuit of “middle-classness†and a pledge of allegiance to “all black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System.†It defines “middle-classness†as a way for American society to “snare†blacks rather than “killing them off directly†or “placing them in concentration camps,†just as the country structures “an economic environment that induces captive youth to fill the jails and prisons.†from

To quote the Article above-->-->
Just before Obama’s nationally televised campaign kickoff rally last Feb. 10, the candidate disinvited Wright from giving the public invocation. Wright explained: “When [Obama’s] enemies find out that in 1984 I went to -->-->Tripoli-->-->†to visit Col. Muammar el-Qaddafi with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, “a lot of his Jewish support will dry up quicker than a snowball in hell.†-->-->

So what is the message of Obama's Church--is it racist and anti-semitic; and is Obama simply a slick politician hiding these views?-->-->
