Wright comes of as a REAL racist
Edited on Fri Mar-14-08 08:54 AM by moobu2
not the manufactured racist the Barack campaign invents for political gains. Baracks 20 year relationship with Wright will Doom any chance he had to be POTUS.

30. been using it myself a long time
but stopped and somebody here reminded me of it.

Plonk is a Usenet jargon term for adding a particular poster to one's kill file such that the poster's future postings are completely ignored. It was first used in 1989 and by 1994 was a commonly used term on Usenet regarding kill file additions.

The word is an example of onomatopoeia, intended to humorously represent the supposed sound of the user hitting the kill file. It is also sometimes given as an acronym standing for Please Log Off, Net Kook, though this is likely a backronym. Other used expressions are "put lamer on killfile" and Please Leave Our Newsgroup: Killfile!

5. Maybe he'll shave his head ...
and we'll call him chrome dome. Or Chocolate Thunder Dome (apologies to Daryll Dawkins). Or perhaps the new, improved Super Dome (Katrina-free).

Don't worry, I've got a million of 'em ...

15. You know, that belief is fairly mainstream in the black community
Almost half of all African-Americans believe that HIV, the virus that causes Aids, is man-made, more than a quarter believe it was produced in a government laboratory and one in eight think it was created and spread by the CIA, according to a study released by Rand Corporation and the University of Oregon.

26. it was created in Africa using Chimp kidneys as live material for polio vaccine and the AIDS virus
got to us that way, they never should've used Chimp kidneys. There was a great documentry on Sundance about it. There's NO gov't conspiracy.

6. What was racist about what he said?
You may disagree with what he said, but there was nothing "racist" about it.

19. Don't you understand?
Edited on Fri Mar-14-08 09:05 AM by virtualobserver
When Gov. Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania says ""You've got conservative whites here, and I think there are some whites who are probably not ready to vote for an African-American candidate,". He is just being honest.

but when Wright calls attention to that reality, he is a racist.

14. Let's have at it. I think you are very wrong.
Why is a black man not allowed to have black pride? This is a throw some shit, see what sticks.

It isn't going to stick.

He speaks out against racism.

21. I don't know
I was raised catholic. The priests at our church were pretty blatant racist and a couple are now being sued for molesting boys. Yet their church goes on and many of the same families still go to the chirch. They haven't lost their jobs or businesses because they attended a church that was pretty shaky.
These Hillary and republican spin machines are really digging, digging deep to find something.
Maybe Hillary will turn her slime machine on McCain some day. Oh I forgot, they are buds.

28. Question: Does anyone feel threatened by black on white racism?
I guess that some of what Wright says is technically racism. But at the end of the day, I'm an upper middle class white man. He may have 8500 parishoners. He may be on tv. He may have more money in the bank.

But I'm ultimately more protected by the system.
