FYI the black pastor who is suing is probably an Uncle Tom (shill); covertly paid for by a white interest group.

Of course he must be an uncle tom because he's an individual thinker and not willing to promote the typical crap from the left.

Silly me, I thought the white house was called that based on it's color.

This is a politically motivated stunt by a Republican group. The Reverend has previously filed a similar suit that was thrown out of court.

From the website the Reverend is associated with:

"Devoted Christians - Proud Americans - Active Republicans"

I like being part of the group also, but I refuse to do a *** to impress anybody.

I do believe he represents a white district." What she was saying is well-known code for Uncle Tom or Oreo.

Which begs the question. If you are Black and oppose this particular President, are you somehow less authentically Black? Do you have to think and act Black to be Black.

This sort of comment by Black leaders always reminds me of Dr King's I Have a Dream speech. "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."

And in fact, the same rules apply to black conservatives as to white ones. If you want to criticize Obama on his policies, then you go right ahead. If you want to walk in front of a white audience and call yourself the new Harriet Tubman who will lead black people from the "Democrat Plantation", then people will point out that you're insulting other black people in order to line your own pockets.

Black Pastor Sues Obama & Democratic Party for Racism – Patriot Update

A dim move. It's pretty much impossible to sue Obama or the Democratic party for rhetoric from "the left" calling someone "racist", you basically can't sue much of anyone for calling anyone else "racist" unless it's willful slander, and this reverend has no standing to file suit in any case, since he's not white. Seems like just another black guy who has realized that he can make money by pandering to the racial anxieties that are far too common among white republicans.

And I see that the site has included the standard "But, but, but the Democrats are the ones who voted to keep slavery!" rhetoric - the same facts that send them into a rage when a black person uses them in discussing, say, the wealth gap between black and white households. I'm sure that if John Calhoun were running as the Democratic nominee for president, black people would vote against him. But he won't be the nominee, because he's long dead.

This man is doing nothing more than trying to rewrite history. Who's paying him?

I'm sure many Germans were against the massacre of Jews but it does not erase the fact that millions of them were murdered.

I see your point up to the end of the second sentence. I do not necessarily agree that speaking to the danger of being beholden to one polilitical party is lining one's pockets. It is true that Black Americans vote overwhelmingly for one party, and have for decades. It may have been the way to political power when it began, but the lemming like following is now detrimental and the followers easily manipulated or controlled through various federal programs.

Sometimes the truth hurts, and can be seen as insulting, especially when spoken by family to family.

What I descibe is no different that the bondage affect of the many tax incentives and programs for corporations and individuals has on our country. Both situations are harmful to our country.

Folks can sue for anything these days. Our courts are a joke.

For the MILLIONTH TIME, 'Uncle Tom' is NOT a racist term.

Just because you think it is on an internet forum doesn't mean it applies to the real world.

Neither is the N word. It means ignorant.
