    I hope you and your sour-grape mudslingers, who avoid issues and prefer using racist slurs about Barack's church, his middle name, false statements about plagiarism, and attacks on his wife's patriotism KEEP IT UP. That's right! Just keep coming...

    All your sleazy attacks only help Barack win more support.

    KEEP UP your dirty work! Thanks.

    She is proud that America seems finally, and in large numbers, for seemingly the first time, been able to get past their racial prejudices, and vote for someone based on the content of their character not the color of their skin.

      "content of character"......... The man does give a good speech and has a fantastic stage presense. Character........ as I have asked others, please turn me onto what he has done for this great country since his tenure in office on The Hill? What bills has he sponsered and which ones have been passed? Just give me something of 'substance' besides a good 'Change' speech. Anything substantive?? I'll give the man a hard look myself if I can find anything that is worth my vote.

        He stood-up against the War in Iraq. In the jingoistic "United We Stand" fervor, following the attacks of 9/11, very few of our trusted "leaders" had the courage to voice a dissenting opinion. The war went on despite massive common-sense demonstrations against it, both at home and abroad.

    What is that digust you about her? That she comes from a solidly middle class family, that she's well educated, has a successful career and has married equally well? See, white people, we all don't see the world as you do. What she said was said in many barber shops, hair salons, church lobbies and other places where African-Americans hang out. I agree with her in the fact that we have two people who have broken through the WASP domination of the political process for the highest office in the land. I bet a majority of YOU people don't understand why there's an African-American history month

      Way to come off as a bigot and a hypocrite smart guy. Just what do you mean by "YOU people"? White people? You are a racist! You also just exposed the very bigoted double standard in America. If a white person ever said "YOU people" to a black person, they would be crucified by the media. They would have to apologise, go into rehab and their career would be over. Not to mention the financial trouble from the civil suit.

      You need to seek help to get over your hatefilled ways. You are/were not a slave. I am/was not ever a slave owner. I have wronged you in no way. Do yourself a favor and end this foolish bigotry. You were born with the same advantages and disadvantages I was. The only difference between us, (other than your hatred of the opposite race of course) is that you can play the race card whenever you don't get your way.

      The sad thing is, black people don't realize that it is their attitude that perpetuates the cycle of hatred in America.

        Funny thing... a black on here is called a racist because he/she is sick of hearing people crucify Michelle Obama because she got excited and proud of her husband. Many of the comments i have read from the majority of the right, have racial undertones to them. No one has actually talked about it, but it was in the background many times. Here is a perfect example.

        The sad thing is, black people don't realize that it is their attitude that perpetuates the cycle of hatred in America.

        At least you admit that there is racial hatred of whites toward blacks, i have to give you credit for that much.

          No, he is called racist for being a blatant racist. Look at what was said. I never once said that I don't like Mrs Obama because of her race. There was nothing racial about my comment. Then Abu comes and starts in with the "YOU people" in referrence to whites. That is racist N2N. I think you know this.

        Sometimes I use YOU people to stir the pot, having had that dropped on me by YOU PEEOPLE.

        Now, what are my hatefilled ways? No, I wasn't a slave, but 1/2 of my ancestors were and forgive me but it still give me some bitterness. Bitterness because some of them had to stand by and watch and listen as their wives were raped and they got stuck taking care of the lighter skinned Bastard who when grown up felt that he was better than anyone else. Bitter because whenever Blacks tried to establish themselves YOU people tore it down like in Rosewood and that suburb of Tulsa during the turn of the las century and the list goes on.

        No I wasn't born with the same advantages as you. I partially African-American, strike 1, Partially Arab, strike 2 and I am a Muslim, Strike Three. You lot can play the race card pretty good yourselves or else there would be all these Anglo litigation, bitching and moaning about Affrimative Action. Cont

        "The sad thing is, black people don't realize that it is their attitude that perpetuates the cycle of hatred in America." Yeah, tell that to the dude who got head cut off in Jasper, TX, or to that 14 year old girl who doing up to 7 years in prison for just pushing a teachers aide of the way so that she could see the shcool nurse for her meds, or how about the family of the black code enforcer, and what do you know this is also from Texas, who lost their love one in a cold blooded murder only to see the white dude who shot him get 18 months in jail or one of the Jena 6 and the list goes on.

        You don't know WHAT WE F'N GO THROUGH. HELL SOME OF US, WHO HAS DESIGNER NAMES CAN'T GET JOBS BECAUSE YOU LOT ALREADY KNOW WHAT RACE WE ARE AND THEN JUDGE ACCORDING PER A HARVARD STUDY OF HUMAN RESOURCES DIRECTORS. SO IF YOU THINK THAT WE DON'T STILL HAVE F'N OBSTACLES YOU'RE VERY much, now I'm calm, mistaken

          Oh quit your damn crying. Yes you do have every advantage I had. And probably a few more. You can go to college for free just because of your race. You talk about how you are angry because half of your ancestors were slaves. Forgive me for not giving a crap. My ancestors were Cherokee. My other ancestors were from Scotland. Look at what they went through for a few hundred years. Do you see me crying? NO. Why, because it wont change anything. Who are you mad at? The people who did that to your folks are dead. For that matter, are you mad at Africans? The Ashanti's? They WERE the slave trade. Until 50 years ago that is.

          Since you want to bring up racially charged crimes, why don't we talk about the Jena 6, the fact that blacks protested because the 6 black kids who beat down 1 white kid were being cvharged as adults? Or what about Channon Christian? Her and her boyfriend were tortured and raped for 5 days before being mutilated and murdered by 5 black men?

            Dude where are you getting this information? I went to college free because my parents paid. As far as your redentist view of slavery, how many Africans owned the boats that brought my father's ancestors here? Who was it that demanded slave labor in the 1st place. See YOU people try to use that argument to absolve yourselves and your ancestors of any culpablity for what happened. As far as the Jena 6 goes, yeah 6 black kids alledgedly beat down 1 white kid. So f'n what. That $hit happens on a daily basis on campuses all around America. The f'd up thing about is that they got charged as adults and the two white guys that brandshised a shot gun at one of them got off with a ticket. WTF

            Lastly, my family has carved out a damn good life. Most of us are professionals and have never taken anything from the government. Like I said you don't know me from your ass in the hole in the ground. You don't know what I went through getting to where I am now, so kiss my ass

  I agree with her sentiments about change but I am really,really curious why now this is the only time in her life she's been proud of America.

  I don't like a lot what I see now, but I have been proud of America lots of times and am proud to be an American NOW.

  Just to throw this in I'm really sick and tired of the mentality especially to the rest of the world "I'm an American, I'm sorry."

            BoBo in Texas----"Because obama is running for President of the USA, not Africa"

            Bush won the presidential election and didn't care a lick for the American electorate or the American evangelicals. Contrary to what catstevens states, I don't think that it's going to matter whether Obama's church puts Africa first or not. Obama has America's interest at heart. And another thing, when catstevens says that she "hates to bring it up", don't believe that for a second either. She loves it. I'm undecided as to the candidate that I'll support, but I'm tired of you people who will nitpick and slander over trivial quotes and perceptions that Limbaugh, Coulter, and O'Reilly promulgate.

          Maybe she, and hubby dear, should run for President in Africa. Barak is doing well with Democrats, a few Republicans voting against Hillary, and a smattering of Independents, but in the real world they want substance, ideas, vision. These people will not be there for the Messiah in November.

          We are all God's people...

          ...And those people in Africa need our help. All of us. By going to that region President Bush is bringing thousands upon thousands of dollars and attention for those children who are orphaned and without any one to look out for them. The big United States of American with all of its resources and finances can make a difference to those children. HIV has taken over the country and we, the filthy wealthy rich, can do a lot to help them. And you, who are obviously 'not to needy, look to offer help only to the US first. We are all God's children.

          Good for you, President Bush! He says it best:

          "As I told you,'' Bush said, "and told people all the time, to whom much is given, much is required. Well, we've been given a lot in the United States, and I believe we're required to help brothers and sisters in need.

    I can't say she is wrong and I've only heard the sound bite which is likely out of context. You have to go back in time pretty far to have national events to be be truly proud of, no events recent history (the last 25 years at least) were anything to be particularly proud of, there were no major "greatnesses". The fact that voters in primarily white states are coming out in droves to support a black man for president is indeed a high water mark, something that makes me very proud indeed of Americans and this watershed event with any grace, will be a major blow to the divisions many have invested in. It is on par with the moon landing, which is probably the last major point of pride. That's not to say there weren't very good things that happened, they went hand in hand with disgraceful things though. Our leaders mostly embarrassed us and the public became sheep who stood for nothing and allowed themselves to be bamboozled by one buffoon after another.

      I am a proud American, in awe of our founders and the wisdom of our leaders through our history up to Nixon, They made mistakes too but their insights were remarkable and we went forward. Beginning with Nixon the integrity of the office of President went in the toilet. Carter was a nice man but ineffective, Ford was not so bad but didn't do anything to get excited about (his pardon of Nixon was his only black mark), Reagan obviously was in an Alzheimer stupor as he snoozed through his the Iran Contra thing, a complete embarrassment. Bush SR, didn't do anything to peeve me, but I can't say he made me proud either, I thought it was pretty funny when he went to Japan to try to increase American car sales and the Japanese pointed out that if we wished to sell more cars, we should put the steering wheel on the correct side....then he threw up on them. Clinton managed to balance the budget, which was an accomplishment indeed but negotiated terrible trade deals.

          I agree mostly with you europa but I don't think it takes a "big event" to be proud of America for the individual. Of course it would take me a while to think of things.

          I can think of one right now though. I am proud of America that our constitution has withstood some of the messes we've been in the last 16 years.

          I am proud of America for it withstanding the seemingly major polarization of Americans(groups against groups) and some of the venom and hatred it creates.

    I think the problem is that Blacks and Whites don't see America the same and when there is a legitimate situation, like White Males voting for someone who looks African-American, you can almost hear MLK in the background saying "Now that's what I'm talking about, taking the dude for his character and accomplishments. America is finally fullfilling its promise"

    Its still a little gloomy in most parts of the African-American community. Granted, it isn't as dark as it used to be and its getting better. But there still is a forecast of hazy sunlight

  The most interesting thing about her comment - as well as her previous comment that she wasn't sure she would support Hillary if she was the nominee - is the lack of media coverage. I've been watching CNN and CNBC and I'm stunned at how little play this statement is getting... except for "Morning Joe." That was pretty entertaining.

  Although I am very liberal, that statement was a mistake. America is the greatest country in the world to live in. My position as a liberal is to make America ever better, more moral, more respected, and not merely accept the status quo.

  She should apologize for this (mis)statement

    Although she didn't say it wasn't, the vast majority of what has made it great and continue to be great has nothing to do with recent history, in her lifetime what truly amazing thing have Americans done? I think she mis-spoke, and certainly good has been done and individual Americans have done wonderful things but as a country the truly pride producing events have not been in recent times.

  I would think the fact that she and her husband were able to go to Ivy League schools before embarking on extremely lucrative careers would make America a very, very nice place to live.

          LOL! You would think that was what she deserved for making that statement.

          Who knows why she said that. Maybe it was the first time she had felt the pride that our country was ready to accept a black man as an equal, whatever! But does it really warrant this kind of backyard gossip?

              In my opinion, it was blown completely out of proportion! People say things when they are nervous or excited that they wouldn't normally say.

              I know it's had a lot of coverage, too much coverage, the media has gone over the top with this.

                The point is if Hillary or Bill had made that kind of statement they would have been crucified by the media. Period.

                  I'm not ignorant at all. I listen to alot of talk radio and I surf blogs and I have had friends of mine that have suffered racism from latinos that were directed towards blacks. Look at some of Hugo Fox's speeches and the hub-bub about a cartoon character named Memin Pinguin.

                  Also, there's alot of Latin hate directed towards African-Americans in the prison system and right now there's alot of tension in many Southern California cities between blacks and browns

                "Chicano" is a racial slur you freaking bigot.

                Now lets talk about the term "african-American", and how stupid it is. Either you are an American, or you are not. There is no such place as Africa America so the term African-American does not make sense. Especially since 99% of the blacks in this country were born in America, not Africa.

                Tell me something Abubigot, what do you call blacks in France? England? Canada? I'll give you a hint, it's not African-French, African-English or African-Canadian.

                Maybe you should just let racism die. Let go, no one is after you. There is no big white conspiracy to return American blacks to slavery or to keep them in the hood.

                This story is about a woman, a stupid woman who made a stupid comment. Nothing more.

                  1st of all Chicano is not a racila slur. Not in the same way as Redskin. There have been many Mexican groups, like those dudes that tried to occupy Santa Catalina Island that refered to themselves that way. Now as far as what Blacks call themselves in other countries, it depends on the individual. I have black friends from Once Great Britain and they refer to themselves from the respective countries of origin. One of my friends, who ancestry is Trinadadian, refers to himself as such. My mother through her mixed heritage has relatives in France and they refer to themselves as Afro-French. So what's your point?

                    Redskin applies to my ancestors. And if you were to call one of my hispanic co-workers Chicano, you would very quickly regret it.

                    My point is that you are either an American or not. If you have to hyphenate and put some other nation first, you do not love this country and are not a true American.

                      On my father's side there's Native ancestry to. I talk to my cousins and they told me that calling a Native person a redskin is the same as calling an African-American the N word. And if it not apparent to you yet, I NEVER regret anything I say, because I can back my $hit up

    Why shouldn't she of said it? There is something called the 1st Admendment here in this country. Most of the posts regarding this I believe have come from Anglo people or those who identify as Anglo. Most of you could never know how the majority of African-Americans feel about their sense of pride in this country. I know, I know. If we don't like leave. We didn't leave because you wouldn't let us. Everyone, who advocated this during the real brutal years during the aftermath, that advocated this were killed or deported. Marcus Garvey being one of the more famous ones.

    So look at what she said from our perspective, after going through slavery, Jim Crow laws, various Eugenic theories, having the best and brightest o
