Okay, it's time for Little Miss Political to voice her opinion on today's' politics. Now, first off let me start by addressing that I DO NOT SUPPORT Obama because he is an African-American. I support him solely because he's the one candidate I agree with the most. I'm getting tired with America making this election about race! Sure, there is an African-American and a woman running for the first time in history but this race has been going on for how long now? It's about time to get over the shock value. We, as a country, are in too critical of a place to be focusing on details that really play no part with how the country will be ran if either one of these candidates were elected.
I know that many Americans are now upset because of Obama's pastor Richard Wright and his "anti-patriotic" comments on America. But to be honest you can't judge a man by the words his pastor says. What the media has been portraying has been taken totally out of context. I'm really big on politics and I've been following this race closely, so when these allegations came about instinctively I set out to do research. And after reviewing the particular message the media extracted the sound clip from, I was utterly disgusting with what the media has once again done. And let me pause parenthetically to say: if you're basing your votes solely on what the media has shown, you as a person are cheating yourself and this country. Now I know you can't conduct personal interviews with each candidate and then decide who's best BUT you can do your research to either back up or deny what the media has fed you. But anyway back to what I was saying... the message Jeremiah Wright was preaching was a Palm's Sunday sermon was urging his congregation not to treat the government as God.
And if we want to still bash him for his comments, let us not forget that when Hilary was in the white house with Bill their pastor was Billy Graham and he has even said in so many words that America is going to have to pay for her misdoings.
But, wait, let me disclaim my remarks by saying that in no way am I condoning anti-Americans but I don't believe Jeremiah Wright nor Obama are in any way anti-America. Wright is a radical-type preacher as many other preachers are declared. Some things he says maybe be shunned upon --especially by white America.
I was watching the news the other day and some politician said that Wright was psycho because he mentioned his belief that AIDS was a government instituted disease. But to be 100% honest that concept came about in the 70's and its something I've heard many times within the black community. And it's not like it's 100% unbelievable since we do know of the government giving a camp full of blacks syphilis to see how it would react with humans. My point is just because you have not heard these notions you can not discount them to be something of alien descent or even say that he's some type of crazy cultist. And you can't believe that some one's pastor is their sole source of knowledge. I don't necessarily agree with what people within my church congregation have to say.. and I'm not judged by their comments either.
Obama is a good man! And on the other hand I don't support Clinton because she comes off as very passive-aggressive and sneaky. There is just something about her that is dishonest. And at the start of this race I was for her but she lost my trust by letting Bob Johnson speak on her behalf to tell us that as African-Americans we shouldn't vote for Obama because he's exploiting the black vote. And I'm thinking isn't this the same guy who exploited blacks on his BET channel then sold it so that we could be exploited even more. But I guess exploitation is only okay when it involves money.. but votes? OH NO!
Let me digress.. my blood temperature's rising. Lol. Think about what I said.. Spread the love or hate and comment. I'm GONE!
