Obama officially denounced Farrakhan's views in 2008. The former president respects him as a human being, just as he respects all human beings, but denounced the figure when Farrakhan announced his support for Obama as president.

The Congressional Black Caucus officially renounced Farrakhan way back in 1994 -- almost 30 years ago.

Congressional Black Caucus Renounces Farrakhan Pact : Race relations: Panel chairman Mfume labels anti-Semitic remarks made by aide to leader of Nation of Islam 'evil and vicious.' Reply is expected today.

The Congressional Black Caucus Wednesday renounced its "sacred covenant" to cooperate with controversial Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan in the wake of mounting furor over Farrakhan's refusal to repudiate an anti-Semitic outburst by one of his aides.

Oprah interviewed Farrakhan. That doesn't mean she agrees with him. She has also interviewed Donald Trump, George Bush, John McCain, and many other Republicans. Does that mean she's a republican?

I have not been able to find official statements from AOC, Tlaib, or Abrams concerning the Muslim-American figure, but the above is more than enough to indicate that you are a liar. This is why I was too quick to renounce your other statement as a lie. When you lie so much, people distrust everything you say. Why should we trust anything out of your mouth when you're constantly posting falsehoods?

It was all smiles when Louis Farrakhan strode into a weekly luncheon for the Congressional Black Caucus in Washington DC, where he had been invited to address the most powerful black lawmakers in the country.

The year was 2005, and the Nation of Islam boss was greeted by a new up-and-comer among their ranks, a senator from Illinois — Barack Obama.”

Here is an example. Assuming this youtube will last and not be taken down.

This is a protection racket and the local authorities are in on it. When I was a young man in my mid-20s a bunch of young financial executives rented an enormous house at Rehobeth Beach Delaware and I was one of the last to arrive and had to park my car across the street. I'm sure I went in to see what people were doing and I came back out and probably to unload the car and the car was gone. It was behind a large house that have been converted into a restaurant called the dinner bell. So I went in with my roommate and ask if anybody they might know what happened to my car. They said well we towed it. So there's a big sign there that says that if you park your car will be towed. I said there's no sign about towing back there so yeah it's 4 feet tall and 8 feet wide you can't miss It. I said there's no sign back there at this point my roommate who is a hothead starts screaming and cursing at the top of his lungs right in the middle of lunch hour ( The sign had faded to complete white). I saw that this was going south fast so I drag him out screaming and cursing every step of the way by his belt. And the maître d' who we were talking to who was as big as Arnold Schwarzenegger, sent the entire kitchen staff out to kick our ass. We get out to about the middle of the street and the kitchen staff comes pouring out the back of the restaurant, meanwhile all the financial executives see what's going on in the middle of the street and they all pile out of the house we rented. What ensued looked like a scene from west side story. I think I'm the only person there who didn't throw a punch, and didn't get hit. I was trying to talk people are fighting. Everybody else was intent on getting their pound of flesh or bouncing somebody's head off of a car hood, so they just left me alone. Well of course the local police showed up, they been called in by the maître d' and when I told the police that the maître d' sent the kitchen staff out to kick our ass, nobody was charged with anything. But that's what normally happens when somebody loses their cool in a business. The police get called and it's descalated. The only reason the police were not called in this video is that the police were not going to come to descalate the situation.

I do not believe in race it is a manmade invention.

Nor do you believe in commas, it would seem.

Imagination has nothing to do with it. It's called definition.

I would like to see a left wing forum with this vile racism. Please do post examples so I can see all this alleged racism.

The forum above is 100% in support of Trump so no more excuses.

As soon as we accept that all races are equally capable of racism, the sooner America can move on.
This current fashion of focusing the spotlight on one particular race will not allow for any healing, but rather promote more strife.

 

[Thistle]

Obama is NOT left by any stretch of imagination.

Obama was not left when he ran for president the first time in 2008. In the run up to the 2012 election he had Al Sharpen to the White House almost 90 times to figure out how to race bait the American people into voting for him after he had destroyed the healthcare system in 2010. From that point on it was all left-wing race baiting Eric Garner and Trayvon Martin. In 2008 he was a post racial president. He was the furthest thing from it in 2012.

 

[DeSanto]

Oh come on, you're dealing with people who were willing to call the obvious MAGA capitol rioters "antifa". They'll sleaze their way out of this one easily. Fake website, fake posters, Soros paid them to infiltrate the forum, etc. etc. They've been given the templates for how to think this way and now they can improvise.

Remember Jussie?
The fake hate crime is from their template.
Kamala is implicated.

The whole "identity" obsession is just divisive. Tribal. What good is it.

The first female "minority" VP. Like that's what's important. And mocking it is racist?

While the CCP laughs....

Heavens, no. Why on earth would anyone kill a messenger.

You won’t find the truth on CNN.

Not usually. CNN's problem is they are too eager to be "first" to run a story, so they often get a lot of facts wrong.

 

[Authentic Nouveau]

Farrakhan is a racist hatemonger. I wouldn't call him a leftist. He is extreme conservative like Yemen.

You still trying to pretend you are not far left?

Your trying to connect Epstein with President Trump is hysterical far left trick.

 

[Authentic Nouveau]

That is truly amazing. Photos do not tell me that they are friends or that they even like them. Funny I have posted many articles with photos of Trump with his friend Epstein but right wingers keep denying it???

Barack Obama is a member of Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ, whose minister - and Obama's spiritual adviser - is the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Last year Wright, along with the church's magazine, Trumpet, honored Farrakhan as a man who "truly epitomized greatness" at their awards ceremony.

Your hatred of President Trump is massive.

 

[Authentic Nouveau]

Farrakhan is a racist hatemonger. I wouldn't call him a leftist. He is extreme conservative like Yemen.

We notice how you direct hate mongering at President Trump.

 

[Authentic Nouveau]

Now I have read them. I still never seen where Obama and Farrakhan are friends. The other article does indeed show some democrats that are in support of Farrakhan. Now comes the beautiful part that I have been espousing on this forum. Many democrats are NOT left they are authoritarian which puts them on the right. That is the problem in this country even centrists and mild right are considered left. Obama is NOT left by any stretch of imagination. He deported more illegal immigrants than any potus in history and I don't care how anyone slices it LEFT does not want to deport people they want open borders or a faster way of giving immigrants citizenship.

As soon as we accept that all races are equally capable of racism, the sooner America can move on.

As soon as we accept that America's white racist history was still lynching black people as recently as 1968, the sooner America will come to terms with the fact that racism in this country against African Americans by white people is properly in a different category than the others.

Yes: all races are capable of (and do in fact exhibit) racism against other races. Pretending that this makes racism everyone's problem equally in this country is pure, apologetic fiction.

EDIT: Ooh, I take that back. Last lynching was 19-freekin-81.

EDIT2: over the long run, you're right. We just need to treat racism as bad, regardless of who exhibits it. The problem, though, is that there are still black and white people alive who saw violent racism against black people on a scale that only one other race in this country has had to deal with. This means it's waaaaaaay too soon to just intone "Racism's bay-ad, m'kay?"

Arguably the most recent was actually 1998. Look up James Byrd Jr.

I am not sure what solution you think would be better than treating people as individuals, though. Do I bear some sort of guilt for Mr. Byrd's death because it was within my lifetime and the perpetrators were the same race as me? What kind of logic is that?

 

[Whateverman]

I do remember that name, yes. heck, I was surprised when I'd heard that someone was actually lynched in the late 60s - and now mortified to find that one or more have happened since then.

The take away for me isn't that we're all racist - but that there are legitimate reasons for African Americans in this country to not trust a white establishment.

I doubt there's an easy solution. There are things we can do to help, of course, but not in the sense of them being a collective magic bullet.

The user spinningstill recently posted two videos from a Christian pastor who questioned the evangelical approach to abortion, and then (separately) discussed the problem of racism in America. In that second (racism) video, he answered a number of questions he'd received from viewers, and one of them asked why the average modern Christian should consider racism in this country a problem that WE have/created. You posted in that thread, so I know you're at least familiar with what I'm referring to.

His answer was that the extent to which we take credit for our country's successes is the extent to which we should take blame for its failures.

In short, I wouldn't call you guilty for racism in America. However, I would say - if you care about the success of your country (and you may legitimately not) - then you bear responsibility to help fix its failures. No, it's not like you and I should start shelling out extra tax dollars to fund reparations (for example), but there are other sacrifices we can make. Investing existing tax dollars into African American communities, for example; take some of the money away from an embarrassingly bloated military budget and put it into public education, or provide funding for their kids to attend college. There are literally hundreds of things we could be doing to apologize, and help our country get past a part of its history that's refusing to go away.

We're responsible for this, because it's a stain on our country. It's a stain on the very core of our American values.
