Democratic U.S. Presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama’s campaign rally in Coral Gables, Florida on Friday was interrupted by a group of African-American protesters, calling themselves “Blacks Against Obama”.
The “Blacks Against Obama” group, consisted of about 10 African-Americans that showed up at the Obama rally in Florida. The protesters held signs saying, ”Obama was for gay marriage and abortion, and said his candidacy was “endorsed by the KKK.” Another sign said, “Jesse Jackson hates Obama.”
Barack Obama was going to allow the protesters to stay at the rally, but they kept on shouting and interrupting the rally, and had to be escorted out.
BSOLEFUL
What I like most about Obama is not only is he an educated, handsome, black family man, and a role model to so many, but he’s so diverse. When he speaks, you can tell he’s very comfortable around people of all races, gender, social classes, etc. That to me, is a true American.
OBAMA 08′
Couldn’t put it better myself; wether you agree with all his policies, or even him as a president, there is an apropriate, credible and intelligent way to protest. This was not it. (…and as for that KKK claim, surely that’s just a blatant lie)
I AM SO HAPPY THIS HAPPENED AI AM BLACK BUT WILL NEVER SUPORT BARACK OBAMA IN HIS WILDEST DREAMS. HE IS RACIST..HUNG OUT WITH WILLIAM AYERS WHO WAS A TERRORIST AND OUR MEDIA REFUSES TO REPORT THIS.
LET ME ASK YOU AS A BLACK FRIEND..HOW WILL RAISING TAXES TO THE RICH HELP YOU? WORK HARD MY FRIEND, BARACK IS NOT WINNING…ALL I HEAR IS WHINNING FROM HIM AND YOU
Its funny to me that Blacks who aren’t for Obama are considered CRABS, but the whites who aren’t for McCain aren’ considered CRABS. Blacks always want to have it their way or no way at all. GIVE ME A BREAK!!
i have been campaigning for barack here in virginia, a state that is supposedly a toss up–could go red, could go blue. here in virginia barack’s supporters (black and white) are focused on winning in november. the protesters at that rally are nothing but distractions–like the jeremiah wright thing, like the lapel flag pin, the race card stuff, like the lipstick on a pig brouhaha. these are nothing but distractions. these slings and arrows keep on coming and barack keeps on rising. he is staying the course, working hard and still inspiring. and the naysayers can’t stand it. but they better stand it, they better get used to it. because come January 20, 2009 Barack Obama will be president of these United States.
This shit is getting ridiculous. Every fucking comment I post on an Obama post it gets moderated. If I make a comment on a bullshit post like a celebrity sighting, sometimes it gets posted twice. What the fuck is going with this socialist ass blog? Whatever happened to freeddom of speech and freedom of expression?
This was so disrespectful, I don’t even know what to say…….I’m beyond disgusted by this. These are some real low lives!!!
I have heard a lot about going to vote and that is great. There are more of us registering. But even more important, is to do it early. You know how it is. I am in Texas and their are some backwards things here still. So vote absenty. And then on the day of the voting you can help others get there and not worryabout yourself and your friends that you tell.
And those folks, forget about them. Get rid of the bad energy (including the republicans) and bring in the new positive.
O.k….How much did Palin pay them? That sneaky bytch!
Ja, please do us all a favor and admit you’re a white republican so we can ignore you in all future posts! Thank you.
I LOVE black people, can’t stand N*GGAS! This country would be far better off without rednecks and n*ggas! Crabs in a barrel…
Ignorant…
At first seeing this I was shocked and was questioning Obama…..why would he accept money from the KKK…..I drew many conclusions as to why I thought he would and was growing disappointed it this matter….then I did some research and found that the KKK contributor was actually a former KKK participant who lives in Virginia and is now in politics and is supporting Obama I think it is huge for him to change his views to the point that he is supporting the first African American canidate and for Obama to see past what he may have been associated with in the past is in his past and what is important that we come together to make America a better place where we can forgive and work together for the positive…..some might not agree with my comment and thats cool I just hope people research what is what before assuming or making a statement about something that seems one way when its really another……It would have been cool for Obama to address the issue at the time instead of ignoring it but for him to keep his composure and continue with the speech was commendable too……ight I’m out
What?! They are black so they have to vote for obama?! Now that is ignorant!
ONLY WE DO THIS KIND OF THING. ONLY BLACK PEOPLE. WHEN WILL WE GET IT TOGETHER?!? THERE ARE NO “WHITES AGAINST MCCAIN” THEY ARE EITHER FOR OR AGAINST HIM. I’M SURE THESE ARE DESTITUTE BLACK PEOPLE WHO WERE PAID TO DO THIS LAME EXCUSE FOR A PROTEST.
That is so disgusting. That’s 10 people too many. Even if they were paid off. . . I’m a broke college student too but damn, you need the money THAT bad? Or you just hate yourself that much?
being for McCain is totally different than being against Obama. He’s a democratic nominee come on now, abortion and gay marriage are typically issues a democrat would be liberal (pro-choice/civil union) about. NOT that either of these were said clearly from his mouth at any rate.
@ Msz. Hewstin
U say Obama’s a “fraud && a liar” becuz he calls himself a christian yet he supports abortion && gay marriage…but im guessin u probably voted 4 Bush who supports abortion as well && is surely enough ALL about WAR, but yet he “claimed” to be a christan man also (when in fact he && his rePUBICans r nothin short of satanist)…&& if u didn’t vote 4 bush, ur surely 4 McSame obviously && oh my HE SUPPORTS ABORTION ALSO!!! …..so what’s ur point?? Really….im guessin u neva heard of seperation of church && state….If u wanna point fingers at “frauds && liars,” plz point away at the republican party cuz all they’ve eva done was LIE their way into office every single time….&& every single time those damn rePUBICans put this country they “care so much about” in recession…PLZ!!!
Damn…..makes me ashamed to be black. If you dont like Obama then fine, vote for McCain…but to interrupt a speech…..Just giving us black people a bad name. You see any white people do that to McCain’s speeches saying it’s endorsed by the Black Panthers?!?!?
Wake up guys!
This is could be a deliberate ploy so that rednecks can be persuaded that not all blacks support Obama. Otherwise Obama will have a political risk of White resentment.
If it was not a deliberate ploy then well and good as it plays well into creating a racial balance in support for Obama
hahahahaha!!
thats what you deserve!!!
“God Bless America, no, no, no, god DAMN AMERICA. Barack Obama knows what it is like to live in a country run by rich white people”. (Rev. Wright). Barack stated his white grandmother had “typical white ideas”. Barack studied the Koran and prayed the Muslim faith. He denounces his white mother in books. Following Rev. Wright who is obviously prejudiced shows he shares the same ideas as this preacher. A true Christian preacher does not preach against other races but preaches unity among all races. “For the first time in my adult life I am proud of my country” (quote from Michelle). Video of Obama REFUSING to put his hand over his heart during the National Anthem. This is not the sight of a true patriot. I did not vote for Barack because he is black, I didn’t vote because he is racist and he also voted against medical help for FAILED partial birth abortions. (Go on the internet and read about the process of partial birth abortions). He also supports giving drivers licenses to ILLEGALS.
Why is the white man always blamed for the problems of black Americans? Slavery has been over for HUNDREDS of years. Many slaves were treated well by their slave owners and when law was passed for them to be free, they didn’t want to leave.(But is that ever mentioned?). Also, the black people in Africa captured blacks and sold them at the docks. How are whites totally to blame for this? Black people SOLD black people. Have you ever thought about where you would be right now if you had not been brought to America by “Whites”. You would be in Africa starving to death, overpopulated, dieing of aids and being murdered and slaughtered by your own people.
Another observation-many, many, many times I see black women downtown SCREAMING at their children, CUSSING their children, DEMEANING their children and yes, physically abusing their children in public. I witnessed a black woman with a child not more than three years old haul off and HIT her child in the chest with her FIST. (The little boy was not doing anything wrong). I was mortified. How can the blacks be so critical of whites hundreds of years ago, when they are physically abusing/ screaming at their little children and treating them so savegely? Where you are in life in this day and time is YOUR own choice and your own destiny. You are in the land of opportunity. Stop blaming everyone else and grow up. Listen to Bill Cosby, he knows what he is talking about.
