Editorial See other Editorial Articles Title: Barack Obama Revealed, A Dire Warning from an African American... I have been hoping I would never have to write this article. I hoped it would never get to this point, which would force me to openly speak out against the first African American to seriously have a chance to be elected President of the United States. But after reviewing all the Stanley Kurtz material on Barack Obama/Bill Ayers relationship, I've come to the conclusion Barack Obama is definitely under the influence of a radical ideology that is so dangerous, it could literally pose a danger to the very existence of the United States, especially when we have an economy already in crises, and a war in progress against one of the greatest threats we have ever faced, in Islamic terrorism. (Photo to the right is William Ayers mug shot taken upon arrest by Chicago police in 1968 - just before Ayers began his campaign in the early 70's - bombing campaign that is, not political) I know Barack Obama. No I haven't met Barack Obama personally, but I know many African Americans like him. African Americans who were born in the 1950's and early 1960's who are now in their 40 and 50's in age. I am of that generation. Our generation grew up personally witnessing the turmoil of the 1960's and 70's, which shaped our viewpoint of America. During the great civil rights movement of this era a very young radical element evolved and came into being in the Northern black communities of major cities of America. This element I refer to did not embrace the nonviolent civil disobedience philosophy of Martin Luther King. In fact we ridiculed King's non-violent movement going on in the South. We wanted to meet violence with violence, and so organizations like the Black Panther Party, Student Non Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) (which later renounced non-violence) and The Nation of Islam came into being in cities like NY, Chicago, Boston, and LA. Those times and organizations produced leaders like Malcolm X, Stokely Carmichael, Huey Newton, the dis-Honorable Elijah Muhammad, Bobby Seale, and others. In the mid 60's those leaders of the black radical movement began to form alliances with white radical groups also dedicated to the use of violence in the opposition to American policies. Groups like the Weathermen (or Weather Underground as they later became known), the Yippies (Youth International party) , the SDS, had become active on American college campuses protesting the Vietnam war. These groups were led by people such as Abbie Hoffman, Jerry Rubin, Bill Ayers, Berenedette Dohrn , Cathy Wilkerson. I remember them all. Young Kathy Boudin was one who died in preparation of a bomb. At age 16, born and being raised in New York City, these people became my greatest political influence and also that of many other young African Americans, I came very close to joining the Black Panther Party, but in several years I was totally discouraged with that movement and embraced the teachings and beliefs of MLK. But there are many AA's who grew up in that era who never stopped believing the basic idea that America was a evil and racist place, although these same people moved into the mainstream of middle and upper class American society to have families, own homes, and get decent paying jobs, as they grew older. I personally know many of them who still have a deep rooted, well hidden hatred, for white Americans, for perceived racial grievances, both past and present. These people will interact with whites on a daily basis, but in private in the presence of other AA's express their true bitterness regarding this country, and the need for change, no matter how radical that change may be Based on things I have heard and read of his associations in the 90's with Bill Ayers and others,, when he was 34 and not 8 years old (as Barack relates his age to the bombing apex of Ayers, instead of when his true interaction occurred), I believe Barack Obama is one of those people with a basic belief that America is an evil and racist nation that needs radical change. I not only believe that of Barack, but of his wife Michelle too, who early in his campaign let slip her true feelings about this country. I too once held that same bitterness, and I won't claim it doesn't some time well up in me. But I finally rejected , and am able to overcome the hatred and bitterness, as I came to understand through my Christian spiritual experience what the true causes of racism and all other hatred and disputes between humans truly stem from. But I truly doubt Barack and Michelle have rejected their hidden rage and bitterness, under the warped hateful Afro-centric version of Christianity , which they were subjected to for many years under the pastor-ship Rev Jeremiah Wright. Afro-centrisim is basically came into being to falsely legitimize the deeply hidden bitterness and hatred toward the white community. Instead of a true Christian spirituality which would cleanse the person of hatred and bitterness, Afro-centrism re enforces that hatred and bitterness. A couple of very subtle but sure signs of how Barack and Michelle truly feel about his country were his refusal to wear an American flag pin on his lapel, until media coverage of the issue forced him too, and Michelle's statement about being feeling some pride for her country for the first time in her life. Every African American in this country from age 40-60 could probably identify with, and understood those two statements , one physical and one verbal, by the Obama's. But although I can identify with the Obama's,, feelings I can't stay silent in the thought that this type of radicalism may soon sit as the executive head of our government. I feel African Americans in our sometimes blind rage about racism, have made many unholy alliances with less than stellar elements of the white community on a quest to press to their own agendas, to the detriment of ours. I truly believe the relationship between Barack Obama and William Ayers epitomizes those unholy alliances of the 60's and early 70's, which driven from the streets, moved into the inner city black neighborhoods and schools of Chicago, morphed into something seemingly respectable, but only spreading the same hatred and bitterness. My warning to all Americans both white and black (those AA's who can overcome the vote black impulse) is that in Barack Obama, you are not getting Bill Cosby, you are getting a very well disguised version of Louis Farrakhan. The question you need to ask yourself now and on Nov 4th is this. Do you really want to put the toxic cocktail of a character mentored and tutored by Rev Jeremiah Wright and Bill Ayers in the White House? Especially when this country is facing economic and security issues so critical our very existence is threatened. I do not. Some African Americans will read this and brand me a traitor for this article. I say to them what good is changing America from what you may believe is bad to something much worse, for the small satisfaction of being able to say we have a black man in the White House. So personally, with conflicting feeling about it, I'm rejecting the first African American nominated for the Presidency, for what I honestly believe is the future good and well being of this country. I hope all those reading this will give serious consideration to what I present here, and do so too,

Only a vile and disgusting creature like Barry Hussein Obama could make your average sheeple look upon a Juan mcCain vote with temptation or even anticipation. Word on the street is that whitey's gonna riot if the arabmochastein wins.
You know, it could get interesting. The white people--that is other than the white guilters and youngsters who don't know any better--"won't be half pleased" if an admitted Marxist loon and racist gets elected. And there are also some of us who "won't be half pleased" if Juan "let 'em all in and give 'em amnesty" McCan't is elected. There is an old Chinese proverb that says, "May you live in interesting times" and that proverb is actually a curse.
