There's a certain group of white people that use cross burnings for the same purpose.............
I stopped there. Puhleez. You are just afraid we indeed do and can see the difference between our friends, acquaintances (of all types) and then you and your ilk.
Yep, whitey’s not only a racist, but an ignorant racist.
Let me axe her a question?
How do they speak their peace?
My two black neighbors go to nearby bi-racial Christian Churches and in talking with them, they don't want anything to do with the bigoted talk that come from crazy uncle jerry's mouth.
Jeremiah Wright’s remarks are based on 50 year old rhetoric designed to divide America. In that regard, Rev Wright is no different then Calypso Louie.
His campaign is over.
Absolutely correct.
She does have a point. Rev. Wright is doing nothing new.
The revrunds Al and Jesse have been race-baiters for God for years.
I’ve met a few racist white people, but I’ve never met one (let alone a preacher) who said “God damn America” just because he didn’t like blacks.
Somebody buy that woman a clue, cause she sure doesn’t have one.
Shw wants her cake and eat it too.
I don’t mean to minimize in any way the horrible experience of slavery and discrimination in this country, but the words G-d damn America do not belong in the pulpit.
If understanding these hateful comments means I do not understand black people, I confess, I do not understand black people. The whole thing, especially the full throated defense of this hateful person by a significant number of blacks is appalling and frightening. I, as many white Americans, wanted Obama to be a white knight (this is a metaphor, not a racial comment)as I think a black president would be a good thing. I wanted to be cautious because of the hate I have heard being spoken by blacks in my life. I am now convinced Obama is not a white knight. He will never get my vote. I also read his wife’s “thesis” from, I believe, Princeton. I do not want a person with those views in the White House. I suspect some will defend the thesis and this whole sordid affair but thankfully I still have the right to vote for whom I choose.
The age-old coincidence of the ignorant and the self-righteous.
The difference this time time is that the paranoid ranting of Rev. Wright has been not only tolerated but encouraged as the "authentric" voice of the black community, and God help any black American, err, I mean "Uncle Tom", who disagrees with the nostrums of white liberals.
The Obama camp strikes me as genuinely puzzled by the uproar over Rev. Wright because no one they know has ever dared disagree with this black nationalist kookery that is almost a perfect mirror image of historical white racism.
According to Wright it was our fault...we fore new Pearl Harbor so that we could into a war against the Japanese so that we white Americans could dominate them another race of color(of course then we became genicidists by using two Atom bombs on their soil). We pissed off the Arabs so they created 9/11 or we blew up the trade centers deliberatley to justify an oil war...take your pick...he has stated both views!
As I said in an earlier post.. I do think this kind of preaching, and thinking is common in black churches across America. According to this author, we should just dismiss this as, “Oh yea, I see their point”.
But, I do NOT concede their point. They are wrong. And preachers who spew this hate are dangerous for the country. They keep an entire race of otherwise productive people from feeling a part of this great country. This kind of rhetoric is counter-productive, and I am glad that this is beingt exposed for all to see. It’s been in the shadows for far too long.

I equate Obama's defense to someone attending a KKK rally and then saying they didn't hear the N-word.
Why is it that the loudest racism rants come from people who make their money from non-profit or affirmative action created positions?
