Ralph Nader: Obama wants to ‘talk white.’


Pass the popcorn please..
Source: Raw Story

Ralph Nader says the only thing different about Barack Obama is that he is “half African-American.” The Independent presidential candidate also accused his Democratic rival of attempting to “talk white.”


“There’s only one thing different about Barack Obama when it comes to being a Democratic presidential candidate. He’s half African-American,” Nader said in an interview with a Denver newspaper Monday. “Whether that will make any difference, I don’t know. I haven’t heard him have a strong crackdown on economic exploitation in the ghettos. Payday loans, predatory lending, asbestos, lead. What’s keeping him from doing that? Is it because he wants to talk white?




He doesn’t want to appear like Jesse Jackson? We’ll see all that play out in the next few months and if he gets elected afterwards.”


In response, Obama campaign spokeswoman Shannon Gilson told the paper, “We are obviously disappointed with these very backward-looking remarks.”

Nader is getting senile. Please send him to the old folks home, and drive safely.

What's so bad about being black/White I think it's great. Look at Mr. Kitty is a person we all should try to be. Nader like the GOP are so confused they don't know what the say or do about Senator Obama.
