In a defiant appearance before the Washington media, the REv. Jeremiah Wright said Monday that criticism surrounding his fiery sermons is an attack on the black church...
Wright spoke at the National Press Club before the Washington media and a supportive audience of black church leaders...
He said his Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago has a long history of liberating the oppressed...

A critism over his numerous rants isn't an attack on black churches any more than a criticism of a white preachers rants could be an attack on all white churches.
Wright in the past said that the US government created the AIDS virus to kill black people. Now, he says "I believe our government is capable of doing anything."
Nice spin.
Concerning Farrakhan, he left out the part today about Farrakhan being given a lifetime achievenment award at Wright's church - with Wright in attendance. He also left out the part where Farrakhan in the past called white people the skunk of the planet.
Wright today: "We have never apologized for slavery." "We have never apologized for Japan."
If Wright knew his Bible, he would know that in Ezekiel it says "The son is not responsible for the sins of the father."
Concerning Japan, who attacked whom?
Did Japan attack the United States at Pearl harbor, or did we attack ourselves?
If we had invaded mainland Japan, miltary operations analysts then (and military historians now) said/say that 300,000+ US soldiers would have been killed. Atom bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki to spare the lives of US military personnel. How he could even infer that this was an act of terrorism is beyond me.
I guess it is more blame America first stuff...
the link to the article doesn’t work
Jesse Jackson, perhaps?
Wright is a radical, anti-American, racist pig, rivaling Jesse and Al. So typical of the left in America. This is their agenda -— radicalism, racism, Marxism, anti-Americanism.
Yes, you stupid Dims, wake up — if you can.
Juan Williams this morning said he doesn't think Wright wants Obama to win, on the contrary, he wants Obama to lose so he'll have a platform to bash the country on for not electing a African American president.
And whites and blacks should be shouting with one voice "Bullshit, Revrrrund Wright! The criticism is of your racist words, and your words alone."
Do all black churches preach this message of hate?
And why did Wright need 3 weeks of coaching to get out in public and answer his critics?
He ain’ta bein’ honest with AmeriKKKa.
So the black church believes this not one man. We were told it was one mans opinion not the churches.
Uncle Tom is a racist term and only bigots would use it.
Someone who holds you down and denigrates your success is NOT your friend or your “brother”. He is your enemy and is selling you out for his own political/social advantage.
Update at AP:

The black churches in Dallas love him.
I updated it.
Works now.
Don’t be so harsh he’s a typical black person, bitter, from large town America, and clutching to racist dogma. /s/
Take your time, Reverend.
Take ALL THE TIME YOU NEED!!!...lol
That’s a good point.
I’ve been wondering what would happen to the Black Congressional Caucus if Obama were to win. Should we start a White Congressional Caucus?
When Obama loses, expect a storm of pro-black racism.
The Lord works in mysterious ways and this one is really a mystery to me.
He has told outrageous lies - things he knows are lies - such as about AIDS.
