RT has been to visit the black U.S. pastor James David Manning from Harlem in New York, who claims the world's most-popular leader President Obama only got into the White House by playing on the nation's racial guilt.
“He is full of war, he is full of blood, he is full of sorrow; even Jesus himself called the religious leaders of his days nothing but a bunch of snakes and vipers, which is what Obama is as well.”
“He is not a US citizen and he is hiding his background, his college transcripts from Columbia University, his birth certificate allegedly vaulted in Honolulu, Hawaii. We do not know who he is.”
“He has stolen from the African American people the opportunity to have a first black president because he really is not that at all.”
“He has used racism very effectively to get his way to the office of President. He has misled black people.”
“He has not paid very much attention to the black community since his inauguration. He has not become what black people thought he would be as a black president.”
“White America feels very comfortable with him in their living rooms. He was black, so give him an opportunity to do something about their deep emotional commitment to slavery – and that is why they voted for him. It was racism. The whole world focuses on the fact that he is a black man – that’s racism.”

Swine flu virus began life in a lab?The number of confirmed cases of swine flu has topped over a hundred thousand, with the World Health Organization calling the pandemic 'unstoppable', and suggesting mass vaccination. |
I am white. I did not vote for Obama. I have always thought it was not right that he was not forced to prove his right to be President. He grew up in Indonesia, which does not recognize dual citizenship. He went to college in the USA, as Barry a foreign student scholarship from Indonesia. How much more proof does the world need???? Pastor, except for calling me a Racist, I back up most of what you said. I do not(For the Record) consider myself superior because I am Caucasian. In other words, I do not consider myself Racist at all.
Why anyone would be surprise that Obama has done nothing for Black people really surprises me, that he hasn't doesn't.
I am Black and I didn't vote for him, b/c as I told my son, anything and everything that could possibly go wrong e.g. Boehner, will under his administration, he and we collectively will be to blame for "destroying America" (a scapegoat is needed) playing into more racial stereotypes, and Secondly he don't want to make the good white folks that voted for him mad (he doesn't want to come across as an angry Black man, but I wonder how about an angry man period)
