“This is a big find. If anyone in the news business ever follows up on this, Sen. Obama will say he meant “reparations” in the general sense, not as in compensation in cash.”

SUZANNE MALVEAUX: When it comes to reparations, would you take it a step further, in terms of apologizing for slavery or offering reparations to various groups?

SEN. BARACK OBAMA: You know, I have said in the past, and I’ll repeat again, that the best reparations we can provide are good schools in the inner city and jobs for people who are unemployed. And I think that strategies that invest in lifting people out of the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow, but that have brought applicability and allow us to build coalitions to actually get these things done, that, I think, is the best strategy.

It is the duty of white Americans, Chinese Americans, Japanese Americans, European Americans, arab Americans, Indian Americans, American Indian Americans, Mexican Americans, South American Americans and Russian Americans to give money to black people because there was slavery in America 150 years ago.

Reverend Wright’s friend, ‘Bow-tie’ Farrakhan still advocates for a separate black nation-state within the US (African-America, Blackistan, Poorifornia, Why-yo-dissing, Illin’-ois, Hohio, Louisiana [think about it], Michigun, or some other such self-pitying label). President Obama could make some people happy by giving away — say — Georgia.

Hey there, HObama. Why not have your church “acknowledge its history of poor treatment of certain ethnic groups” first. Then maybe bite off something big like America and its past.

The post-race candidate and unity for all B*LLSHIT master of hate.

Any word if Obama mentioned cannibalism in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina and whether Randall Robinson has signed on as one of his campaign advisers yet?

#10 Jack- check out his exams. That’s what this country needs:Afrcian socialist model. Imagine the great judges in the ‘Ujamaa’ mold Urkel would appoint? Umgawah, bang, bang, beep, beep, our own watermelon jake. At last black role models for rest of America to emulate…with a gratuitous ‘68 Mexico City black power salute….

8. Damn that soul has got you on the gravy train. I wonder if I can show up at the cash-in window with my collection of Miles Davis and Curtis Mayfield CDs. My sister’s boyfriend is black too so I think my cred is going through the roof.

Aha- some of ‘professor’ obama’s academic paper trail: Inside Professor Obama’s Classroom. Link provided over at Chas. Johnson’s LGF blog, including final exams from ‘96- ‘03.

If 1/16 black can be black, then I think I should be able to claim blackness because of my rhythmn and soul. I’m sure someone in my family’s distant past as Dutch and Lituanians had a smidgen of African blood, even if you have to go back to B.C. era.

You neocons got feeelthy rich off of the backs of my ancestors and must pay a steep price. We demand raparations for mistreatment of homosexuals also and I will now avow that I am here, queer and in your face. Plus a communist since you dudes were also unfair to that segment of populations. Repent and seek rapproachment now! Change! Hope! fresh fruit! Or else expect rampant riots, rage and recidivism. And don’t forget to learn French and Spanish also.

This is a big find. If anyone in the news business ever follows up on this, Sen. Obama will say he meant “reparations” in the general sense, not as in compensation in cash. Maybe he’ll slip up and say he does mean “cash”. That’s a very loaded term and he is an idiot for using it.
