The term “African American” is a label of racial distinction, a descriptive distinction which is, for the most part, exclusive to American society. A Black or White African born in Japan would not be given the term “African-Janpanese”, or in Mexico, “African-Mexican”, ect…

Other than the passe’ “one drop rule”, racial distinction in America is determined by the color of your skin.

Summer, If an African moves to America and becomes an American citizen, he is now African-American. A white person from Africa who moves to America and becomes a citizen is now an African-American.

Your mixed race definition is wrong.

Obama is not “half-black,” he is African American. African Americans are a group of people with mix ancestry.

Hint: the various skin hues that the group shares.

Most Africans, including myself, can tell an African American from an African almost immediately—facial features and skin hue alone.

Obama is getting my vote—not because he is black, because I like his politics.

You will have to get a little more specific than that. I have not personally seen nor heard anything about Alan Keyes that would make me suspect that his profession of faith isn’t genuine.

I haven’t heard anyone attack O because of his race, but rather, his shallowness. Race is the foremost issue on his mind. Does he live in some sort of bizzarro world (remember Seinfeld here?) or parallel universe? I do find his arrogance annoying…well, that and his mouthy wife.

La Shawn,
I know you know that the imperfect, broken, fellowship of followers of Jesus Christ is the closest thing that we will see on this earth to knowing each other without pretense and preconception. Thank God we know the Overcomer, and He is always there. Try as we might, we cannot duplicate, on a natural level, the spiritual oneness that Christ promises and provides. I just praise Him that He can heal our hearts, followed by our minds, as nothing else can.

Blessings,
Bob Gohlke

To be honest I was not expecting Obama to play the race card this early in the campaign season. I figured he would wait until the fall after the conventions and then use it like a hammer. Now he’s going to run the risk of crying wolf for the next 4 1/2 months until the election.

LorMae, yes, but only one of those comments is correct. The Republicans haven’t touched with a ten foot pole Obama being unqualified for being black, and Obama has played the race card.

Unfortunately, both sides will be playing the race card. Dems accusing republicans of being racist and republicans attributing everything Obama does to “playing the race card.”

Well you have to have thick skin and very high self-esteem to be a politician, I will give them that.

I give President Bush credit on that too.. because he takes a quite a beating from the public.

I still say the one who really got the shaft was Mitt Romney. But I digress..

..The issue being that MOST people just don’t listen OR read and they don’t half understand what they DO read. You have to read EVERYTHING at least twice and print out or save things when politicians AND PREACHERS are talking about things that have an effect on your life.

I agree.
I gained respect for Dr. Keyes. After someone has been manhandled and taken away from a venue righly belonging to them, then laughs about it; gains my respect and willingness to listen.

What about Alan Keyes? I don’t think Colin Powell is, and if Alan Keyes IS saved, he certainly doesn’t act like it

On what basis do you make such a statement?

Being a brilliant orator is cool and all, but I think Senator Obama has shown us how limited that is in value, am I wrong?

I took his speech in Philadelphia and dissected it paragraph by paragraph and presented it to a group of people as an experiment. I had people who supported him confused, and people who didn’t not support him even more conflicted.

The issue being that MOST people just don’t listen OR read and they don’t half understand what they DO read. You have to read EVERYTHING at least twice and print out or save things when politicians AND PREACHERS are talking about things that have an effect on your life.

For example, after Senator Obama “resigned” from Trinity he said this:

“My — again what I want to do in church is I want to be able to take Michelle and my girls, sit in a pew quietly, hopefully get some nice music, some good reflection, praise God, thank Him for all of the blessings He has given our family, put some money in the collection plate, maybe afterwards go out and grab some brunch, have my girls go to Sunday school. That’s what I am looking for.” Senator Barack Obama discussing his reasons for leaving his church this past weekend in Aberdeen, South Dakota

Two-faced! I guess this is why he gave that phony Father’s Day speech at The Apostolic Church of G-d, which is the Theological antithesis of Trinity.

This is why I don’t trust or take politicians who say they are so-called Christians too seriously. Be a politician and do that with some integrity (oxymoron) because contemporary Christianity has enough to contend with than to have a politician claiming to cling to it..

Read between the lines..
