Barack Obama’s speech: “I have had enough….”
By Ric Joyner
In contrast to Dr. King’s “I have a dream speech” Barack made the speech that may end his run for president.
The final determination of whether his speech had a positive or negative impact shall be based on opinion, and will depend on who you are voting.
Let’s talk facts. Reverend Wright said these key items of hate speech from his pulpit.
1. The US attacked our own country on 9-11
2. The US injected aids into the black population
3. That Jesus was a black person and put down by rich white folks
Barack also said he would not disown Reverend Wright just as he wouldn’t his grandmother who occasionally said racist things. Thus, the conclusion is that Barack stands by his “man”. Standing by your man may cause the loss of your presidency. It will remain to be seen.
Good character aspect for Barack, but it is not enough because he is essentially saying that the black experience is different and that whites will never understand. For the candidate who wishes to unite the country he isn’t doing a good job. First, he hasn’t done anything to cross the isle in congress and work with republicans and he hasn’t done anything on race either. If a white preacher said racist and hateful comments, he would be run out of town on a rail by liberals, and the liberals would trash the white preacher unmercifully. But it is one of their own, and thus more difficult to sweep under the rug. Is it even possible for a liberal to be racist? If you use your common sense…it apparently is!
This will not go away for Barack and his national polls have dropped 17% nationwide in a week!
