Separate and not equal ... you, being white, are not welcome.

Looks like they just kicked the plan into motion.
Did Obama know of the sentiments of his pastor?
Absolutely.
Did he just deny it:
Absolutely

LIAR.

Do you have a link that backs that up? It'd be interseting to see it.

So it's okay if they're separatists, just as long as they're not supremacists?

As I am not a racist or bigot, I have no need to hold Senator Obama to a different standard than I would a white person. If a white candidate belonged to a segregated church, and the pastor spewed this sort of ignorance against blacks, and hung around with race-baiters, and apparently the candidate approved of this until he got caught, I would disparage said candidate as well.

So congrats, Barack - you can stop fighting the power now. You're equal.

...said that nor suggested that. All I have been trying to say is that it is not fair to denounce Barrack and his church and Jeremiah White in the same context as the KKK and the history of slavery in this country. I'm saying there is a big difference in the damning actions done to blacks well through the 1900's v. the words of Wright and Obama being a member of the congregation damning the US in words.

I disagree. Racism is racism, no matter where it comes from, and there's no excuse.

Contrary to Claims, Obama Very Close With Racist Preacher, Wright | NewsBusters.org

More detail of Obama trying second-handedly avoiding his Pastor's Rhetoric:
Political Punch

And for the Capstone:
"Last year, April 30th, 2007, New York Times article: Reserved "Wright, who has long prided himself on criticizing the establishment, said he knew that he may not play well in Mr. Obama's audition for the ultimate establishment job. 'If Barack gets past the primary, he might have to publicly distance himself from me,' Mr. Wright said... 'I said it to Barack personally, and he said yeah, that might have to happen.'" Well, now, this is April 30th, 2007, not quite a year ago. This is the second time now Reverend Wright has been found or discovered to have said things, that indicate Obama knew full well what Wright was saying."

...that's right. I mean, Jeremiah Wright and Barrack Obama/Grand dragons and the Ku Klux Klan. Hell, it's all the same...
