Will Obama sell whites out to the muslims if elected President and have us picking cotton?
COTTON ROOTS GROW BIGGER AND DEEPER IN TEXAS

The friends a person keeps defines who you are and I think the white hating racist Reverend Wright defines Obama perfectly.


I don't know that he could "sell whites out" because he would still have a Congress and the "people" to deal with.

Indoors slaves rarely.. if ever.. had contact with outdoor slaves because they did not live in slave cabins.

    By Olesia Lysenko in Shymkent (RCA No. 596, 26-Nov-09)

    Parents in southern Kazakstan have complained to the authorities that children are being forced to pick cotton during school hours, in defiance of a ban on child labour. In recent years, plantation owners there have tended to hire adult migrant labour from neighbouring Uzbekistan. However, it appears the appeal of taking on minors for a third of the wages paid to adults means the illegal practice continues.
