ALAN FRANKLIN writes: Racism is horrible. As a Christian I do not accept the concept of “race,” as all mankind is descended from Noah and his family. All nations emerged from this small gene pool, as modern scientific discoveries verify. However, those who back Obama and like to pose as “black leaders” get away with extreme racism, as our headline reveals.

As a matter of fact, Obama is not a “black American.” He is one sixteenth African, half white and much of the rest of his gene pool is Arab. Even his name is Arabic. Yes, he is descended from Arab slave traders. If those who vote for him bothered to do a little research they would, hopefully, fast rethink.

I get news from many sources, some first hand. I find The Tea Party more honest and courageous than the pitiful outpourings of stations like Fox, which today broadcast a blasphemous piece of filth featuring the vile Madonna. Can anyone really rely on Fox and its ilk to tell the truth? They have as much discernment as a rapid dog, and are twice as unpleasant.

The Tea Party, which all patriots should consider supporting, sent me this astounding news item today. On second thoughts, it is not astounding, as Obama has always been surrounded by unpleasant extremists. Here’s the story and the links: http://www.teaparty.org/obamas-inauguration-reverend-all-whites-going-to-hell-15102/

The Tea Party sent this on from The Daily Caller “All white people are going to hell, longtime African-American civil rights advocate Rev. Joseph Lowery told an audience at a get-out-the-vote event held Oct. 27 in Georgia. He later said he meant it as a "joke." What would he have said if the position was reversed? More importantly, the howls from liberal big media would have rent the heavens.

Here's the report: “Lowery, who gave the benediction at the January 2009 inauguration of President Barack Obama, told the audience of up to 300 African-Americans “that when he was a young militant, he used to say all white folks were going to hell. Then he mellowed and just said most of them were. Now, he said, he is back to where he was,” according to an Oct. 31 report in the Monroe County Reporter newspaper.

“I don’t know what kind of a n—– wouldn’t vote with a black man running,” Lowery also told the audience in the St. James Baptist Church in Forsyth, Ga., according to the Reporter.

“He was saying [that] based on all of the hatred that’s going on” towards President Barack Obama, Helen Butler, the executive director of Lowery’s Georgia-based Coalition for the People’s Agenda, told The Daily Caller.

“He just fell that he should feel the way he used to feel,” Butler, who attended the rally, explained.

“Of course he doesn’t believe that all whites should go to hell,” she added.

“That’s not him — he’s a very caring person.”

“He was trying to get people motivated to ensure they go and vote…. [and] he did make the point that there is a lot of hatred in this country,” she said.

“It was a joke” told via the perspective of a young militant, Lowery told TheDC. “When I said it, I said it was a joke, I identified it as a joke,” he said.

However, the article also quotes Forsyth Mayor John Howard saying he was “pretty shocked” by Lowery’s comments.

Howard “said if a speaker had made the same comments about black people, he would have gotten up and left… He said the Bible gives set instructions on how to go to heaven and it doesn’t say anything about skin color … [and] he said he looked at the face of his pastor, the Rev. Antonio Proctor, and could tell he was real shocked too,” according to the Macon County Reporter account.

“Howard said he and Proctor talked about putting a video of the event on Forsyth Cable TV but decided after [Lowery’s] comments that it wasn’t a good idea,” the article said.

When asked by The DC about the other notable comment — “what kind of a n—- wouldn’t vote with a black man running” — Lowery said he did not remember making that statement.

“I never said that, I don’t remember saying that,” he told The DC.

Lowery’s n-word comment was not a discriminatory comment or an appeal to racial solidarity, Butler told The DC. “He’s not saying you should support the black guy because of his race, he’s saying you should support a competent black person,” she said. “If all else is equal, why not vote for your race?”

When asked why polls show up to 95 percent support for Obama among African-Americans despite their tough economic circumstances over the last 10 years, Lowery said, “I’d like to see it 99” percent.

“When you look at the travails, the rocky road that blacks have had to negotiate in their life’s experience in this country, it is a great blessing to see that we’ve come so far as to have a black president, and I think that people are excited about it and appreciate it and want to see him re-elected,” he told The DC.

Lowery is a major figure in Democratic politics. He was born in 1921 and is called a “civil rights icon” because he co-founded the Southern Christian Leadership Conference with Rev. Martin Luther King and ran it for 20 years, from 1977 to 1997.

During Obama’s inauguration, Lowery declared, “Lord, in the memory of all the saints who from their labors rest, and in the joy of a new beginning, we ask you to help us work for that day when black will not be asked to get [in] back… [and] when white will embrace what is right.”

Lowery also headed the George delegation to the Democratic Party’s 2012 convention in Charlotte, N.C.
