And that is that he is a selfish, attention hungry, republican stool, fucking idiot.
As a black guy, I love to hear old white guys chide a black man on what it is to talk black. I love to hear a white guy telling a black man to stop talking like us white folk. You have a place in this country, and that place is to talk about the ills of the ghetto. You shouldn’t go beyond that and if you do, you are not real. I loved to hear Nader tell Obama to talk about the Ghetto. Come on Barack, I know you didn’t grow up in the ghetto, but don’t you watch BET, ALL black folk know about the Ghetto. I love to here him chide Obama for what is going on in my community and the way ALL black folk should talk about it. I didn’t know that I am supposed to be like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. If only Nader had spoken earlier, he could have saved me a year of humiliation in law school. I could be a reverend; of course that is what ALL black guys should be, like the great Black leaders that set out my path. Obama should not be the president of America, but instead be president of black America.
You can tell the fucking idiots who pay no attention to stuff before they open their mouth.

Here is a excerpt from Obama’s speech just a couple months ago:
Just as black anger often proved counterproductive, so have these white resentments distracted attention from the real culprits of the middle class squeeze - a corporate culture rife with inside dealing, questionable accounting practices, and short-term greed; a Washington dominated by lobbyists and special interests; economic policies that favor the few over the many. And yet, to wish away the resentments of white Americans, to label them as misguided or even racist, without recognizing they are grounded in legitimate concerns - this too widens the racial divide, and blocks the path to understanding.
Now look at what this piece of shit says:
I haven't heard him have a strong crackdown on economic exploitation in the ghettos. Payday loans, predatory lending, asbestos, lead. What's keeping him from doing that? Is it because he wants to talk white? He doesn't want to appear like Jesse Jackson?
You tell me what is missing here. He talks of the coporate structure purposely separating the two races, does he?
Go to Obama’s website and you’ll find this:
Civil Rights
There is no more fundamental American right than the right to vote. Before the landmark 1965 Voting Rights Act, barriers such as literacy tests, poll taxes and property requirements disenfranchised many Americans, especially minorities. More than 40 years later, there are still numerous obstacles to ensuring that every citizen has the ability to vote.
Or this:
Poverty
There are 37 million poor Americans. Most poor Americans are in the workforce, yet still cannot afford to make ends meet. And too many poor Americans are single mothers who are raising children. Barack Obama has been a lifelong advocate for the poor -- as a young college graduate, he rejected the high salaries of corporate America and moved to the South Side of Chicago to work as a community organizer. As an organizer, Obama worked with churches, Chicago residents and local government to set up job training programs for the unemployed and after school programs for kids.

Or this:
Family
Strong families raise successful children and keep communities together. While Senator Obama does not believe that we can simply legislate healthy families, good parenting skills or economic success, he does believe we can eliminate roadblocks that parents face and provide tools to help them succeed. A husband and father of two, Senator Obama has promoted strong families in the Senate.

The Problem
Pay Inequity Continues: For every $1.00 earned by a man, the average woman receives only 77 cents, while African American women only get 67 cents and Latinas receive only 57 cents.
Hate Crimes on the Rise: The number of
None of which BLACK folk care about I guess.
The problem with people that say tings like talking white is that they are lazy and don’t take the time to realize that the problems of Predatory lending are not just a black problem. Good lord, open your eyes and take a look at the housing crisis. I hate to say this, but I can’t wait until that generation is gone. Barack said:
This is the reality in which Reverend Wright and other African-Americans of his generation grew up. They came of age in the late fifties and early sixties, a time when segregation was still the law of the land and opportunity was systematically constricted. What's remarkable is not how many failed in the face of discrimination, but rather how many men and women overcame the odds; how many were able to make a way out of no way for those like me who would come after them.
But it seems that its people like Nader as well who are stuck in the past. Now I don’t want Boomers dead, but silenced. Black folk no longer need to tell ourselves that black is beautiful, black is strong. We KNOW it mutha fucka, we no longer have to sing in the streets about it. Hope that’s black enough for him.
He wants to appeal to white guilt. You appeal to white guilt not by coming on as black is beautiful, black is powerful. Basically he's coming on as someone who is not going to threaten the white power structure, whether it's corporate or whether it's simply oligarchic. And they love it. Whites just eat it up."
Even though Barack said:
The thing about Nader is that he would love nothing more than Barack to loose. That way people like him stay relevant, but I say:
Fuck that dude, and all those who pretend that he said something valid.
But on a bit of good news, look at what Clinton said about our boy today:
"I know Senator Obama," Clinton said. "I have served with him now for four years in the senate I campaigned with him for 16 months on the campaign trial I have stood on the stage for 22 debates, but who is counting? ... In his own life he has lived the American dream and a community organizer, state senator and us state senator he has worked to make that dream possible for others."
She went on: "Your passionate engagement moved our nation forward and I don't want to see that forgotten or overlooked I want to see participation by Latino voters continue to grow and more Hispanics join the ranks as elected members. I believe firmly the best way to continue this fight is to elect Barack Obama as our next president. The Latino community has felt the effects of the policies of the past eight years, president bush has set our nation backwards."
