FATHER MIKE PFLEGER brings US Race Relations back a step

Has free speach gone too far? Last Sunday a Catholic Preist, Father Mike PFLEGER, did a sermon at Barack Obama's church. Honestly, I found his dememor a little humourous. After all, we are talking about a honkey preacher trying to fit into a gospel type church. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with embracing the culture and "performing" there. It just seems a little like when Vanilla Ice got into the whole rap scene.

The humour aside, on needs to contemplate the effects of such a white hate filled sermon has on social relations in the USA. Also, the whole giving it up thing seems a little much. PFLEGER knows this will never happen, therfor his speach will always have relivance in the minds of those who choose to use the stupid actions of some of the founders of America against anyone white person trying to move forward.

I understand this is a difficult topic, and there are many sides to it. It is apparent affirmative action has failed, and in fact has brought "black white" relations to a bit of a point of tension. The thing is, why bring up the colour difference in the first place. People are people.

Really, people, us honkey's do not have a problem with people of other colours. Asians have been accepted, as have African American's and recent imigrants from Africa. This whole race war thing is a media frenzy created to sell newspapers. Just as Mike PFLEGER said what he said to get attention and bring people to his church.

So here is the video of FATHER MIKE PFLEGER for you to make your own decision. At least it is good for a chuckle.
