WASHINGTON -- Barack Obama's controversial former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, says the lesson in Obama's rise to the White House is that black people shouldn't limit themselves -- or allow others to.

Wright delivered his sermon Sunday during church services at Howard University in Washington.

IMO, the most interesting part of this story is that Wright is in DC at this time. Does he have a part to play in the inauguration?

The left uses the race card to hold people down more than anybody else.
These people makes me sick.

The right reverend wrong: “And if you’re white, don’t pin yourself down, we’ll pin you down ourselves.”

Yes, the Rev has a way with words as proved by past sermons.

Listen, heed, and follow...only if one is a mindless idiot in need of ANY direction that is.

I wish that Wright and other “victicrats” of his ilk would stop always viewing themselves as black people and start viewing themselves as simply people.

I think you’ve chosen the positive interpretation of his remarks. Having the benefit of knowing what this man has said in the past leads me to believe is something on the order of “Don’t let yourself be worried as you continue on your program of race-revenge, keep your nose to the wheel.....”

This is one place where the rev has practiced what he preached: he didn’t let race pin him down; he made it a business! As have so, so many.

I believe that Dr. King would have been repulsed by wright’s behavior and views! I also don’t think he would have voted for the abortionist-elect.

We need to read up more on Black Liberation Theology and James Cone. Wright's church and it's members held these beliefs. 0bama included?

The race wound that has been opened by this freak, pieces of garbage like him, including Zero and that thing he sleeps with, my never heal, at least not for generations to come.

Just wait until the morons that voted for Zero figure out that they have been had..... it should be interesting, as well as entertaining. Of course it could also be bloody, but hey, they made their bed.....

Who says they want it to heal? You can’t ride the gravy train when you’re evaluated on exactly the same grounds as everyone else.

Hell yes, old wright can come back out of the closet now, Bozo is elected and can say G-D Damn America all he wants. Bozo will come up with some BS explanation about how the American hating Wright has now reformed and loves America.

I also don’t think MLK would have approved of Wright’s low, self-serving, and ranting racial sermons, crafted to work the congregants into a frenzy, then fleece them and laugh all the way to the bank. MLK had a more purely ideological agenda (although a lot of his travelling show was about boozing and getting laid under a veneer of idealism and highmindedness); he was a racial egalitarian (explicitly supported affirmative action), a socialist, and brazenly anti-American in protesting the Vietnam War, calling the US “the greatest killer in the world.” I’m as sure as can be that MLK would have voted for Obama, unless he went for an even more radical third-party candidate: distinctly possible as MLK was by the end a very far-left crank who didn’t think LBJ nearly liberal enough. I doubt abortion would have turned MLK; his Christianity was of the left-wing “social justice” kind, secular stuff dressed up with the soaring language and imagery of Scripture.
