The peculiar theology of black liberation By Spengler
Senator Barack Obama is not a Muslim, contrary to invidious rumors. But he belongs to a Christian church whose doctrine casts Jesus Christ as a "black messiah" and blacks as "the chosen people". At best, this is a radically different kind of Christianity than most Americans acknowledge; at worst it is an ethnocentric heresy.

All 3 mainstream candidates agree that a targeted group of people are going to be exterminated on way or another. This seems to be okay with a faction of folks who can recognize atrocites elsewhere, except the one brewing right here.
