"The white man....is our number one enemy.The white man crushes us underfoot while we teach our children about his civilization, his universal principles and noble objectives...We are endowing our children with amazement and respect for the master who tramples our honor and enslaves. Let us instead plant the seed of ...disgust...in the souls of these children from the times that their nails are soft that the white man is the enemy of humanity"

Who said it, Epa?
Was it Sayd Qutb?
Is your point that while we'd expect it from Wright, it is important to note that Qutb held to the same racist ideology?
I dropped 4 words. "white man of europe and america" (where else?)
It is Qutb.
I find no difference in spirit and scant difference in words.
We reject Qutb and all who support his way of thinking as not only anti american but as being against all the values we have espoused, yet when this same train of hate, invective and anti american racisms spout from another source such as that like Wright, another std is applied.
I find no reason for this.
Jeremiah Wright's path is the opposite of unity.
Obama simply could not reject the man, having been an admirer for WHATEVER reason for too long.
If you ask me, and I realize no one did, Obama is wedded to the idea that he is a big, tough, black revolutionary.
He is the kind of guy who would get photos taken of himself in a black leather jacket with a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, and then put them on his desk at work and gaze longingly at the photo with a nebulous idea in his head of some other person he could be if only this world would allow him to be.
He then tells himself that the world won't allow him to be black, but
methinks that is not, at all, his problem.
Yeah, if Tommie Smith and John Carlos grew old, hateful and bitter, and were ran for the Senate, THAT would be the feeling underlying his motor.
IMHO
To him post racial just mean he personally calls the shots.
Just as he told Ali Abunimah that he was sorry he couldn't be more up front about his feeling in the middle east.
Every once in a while I look at him and see Raymond Shaw. Not that he is a product of our enemies, but that he is a product of warped history, hateful ideology, covertly racist race theories and recognizes to succeed he must be 'other'
It's a real worry. Of course the alternative is that he is a naive fool. I mean if GWB thought pootey poot was a good man.....
I don't much care for Barack Obama, but he certainly is not the first politician to have gained high office, who is a racist playing a double game.
