I lived in New York (Brooklyn to be exact) for a while. Every time I went down to the down town market… there were men standing on the streets wearing some sort of traditional African/Warrior clothes, holding big swords. They sat there and preached how they were going to make restitution for the oppression the “white man” had held over them for 200 years. They would say that in the year 2000 they were going to rise up and slaughter the “white man” because God decreed it.
The same people would corner you (if you were white) on the street and ask you what color God was, then verbally assault you if you said anything BLACK. To tell you honestly… it was quite scary on occasion. These people had a lot of hate and expressed it.

I would like to share my own feelings on this issue:
I’m not racist… nor have I ever been. However, I do believe that a religion or people that teach hate and death of a race should not be tolerated whether they are black or white. I feel bad for the way these people have been treated through history and do not agree with it. I do not, nor have I ever agreed with it.
Do I feel they are just in being upset? No, not at this time… Many years have passed and the majority of people are not racist. They do not harbor the views that others had in the past. I do genealogy and do not from my understanding have a relative who ever owned a slave. Should I be punished for a perception… a perception that all whites are racist or have been slave owners? NO! Yet these groups… (like the Hebrew Israelites) throw us into a group or category making an assumption that is false and as unjust as their forefathers were treated.
Why am I digging this up at this time?
Now I don’t know what Barrack Obamas church teaches behind closed doors. I don’t know what the pastor says when he is in closed quarters. If Barrack Obama is a part of the theology that is even close to that of the Hebrew Israelites… It is not right.
One is based on Judaism the other on Christianity… but they both seem to teach that the white man is the source of all the worlds problems and they both seem to teach contempt for the white man. Honestly… I think religion should teach respect and love for one another. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. Love your neighbor as yourself. Kindness. Tolerance. Peace.
These questions have to be asked. Who is Barrack Obama… and what does he REALLY BELIEVE?
