Transcript: Rev. Wright at the National Press Club
Ive said, as I said on Bill Moyers, when Louis Farrakhan speaks, its like E.F. Hutton speaks, all black America listens. Whether they agree with him or not, they listen.Now, I am not going to put down Louis Farrakhan anymore than Mandela would put down Fidel Castro. Do you remember that Ted Koppel show, where Ted wanted Mandela to put down Castro because Castro was our enemy? And he said, You dont tell me who my enemies are. You dont tell me who my friends are.
Louis Farrakhan is not my enemy. He did not put me in chains. He did not put me in slavery. And he didnt make me this color.
In addition to suggesting that Louis Farrakhan, a prominent racist, anti-Semite, and Catholic-hating bigot, is somehow representative of African Americans, Wright even suggests there is something wrong with being Black: Louis Farrakhan is not my enemy
he didnt make me this color. It is critical to remember that Barack Obama knew about Jeremiah Wrights association with Louis Farrakhan before he joined Wrights church. Furthermore, Obamas Dreams From My Father says that Obama occassionally read Farrakhans newspaper, The Final Call.

So Wright is PO’d that God made him black? That’s what it sounds like to me. As to Wrights other points there, America, for over a century hasn’t put anyone but criminals in chains either. He is a clown.
The fact that Dr. Wright has never been a slave in chains before aside, I guess then that his real enemies must include (a) the Africans running the Atlantic slave trade and (b) God.
Beat me to it!

Quote from Barack Obamas book, Dreams Of My Father:
THE PERSON WHO MADE ME PROUDEST OF ALL, THOUGH, WAS MY [half brother], ROY..HE CONVERTED TO ISLAM.
From Dreams of my Father, IN INDONESIA, I SPEND TWO YEARS AT A MUSLIM SCHOOL ..I STUDIED THE KORAN..
From Audacity of Hope: LOLO (Obamas step father) FOLLOWED ISLAM....I LOOKED TO LOLO FOR GUIDANCE.
From The Audacity Of Hope, I WILL STAND WITH THE MUSLIMS SHOULD THE POLITICAL WINDS OF WAR SHIFT IN AN UGLY DIRECTION..
From The Audacity Of Hope, WE ARE NO LONGER JUST A CHRISTIAN NATION, we are also a Jewish nation, a MUSLIM NATION, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.
HATRED OF WHITES:
From Dreams of My Father, I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHERS RACE. Barack Hussein Obama
From Dreams of my Father, The emotion between the races could never be pure, even love was tarnished by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves. Whether we sought out our demons or salvation, the other race (WHITE) would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart. Barack Hussein Obama
From Dreams Of My Father: That hate hadnt gone away, he wrote, BLAMING WHITE PEOPLE some CRUEL, some IGNORANT, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives. Barack Hussein Obama
From Dreams Of My Father, There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs, he wrote. It remained necessary to prove which side you were on,to show your LOYALTY TO THE BLACK MASSES, TO STRIKE OUT and name names Barack Hussein Obama
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!!
A WHITE CANDIDATE WOULD HAVE BEEN CRUCIFIED FOR EVEN HINTING AT SUCH THINGS- MUCH LESS HAVING IT OUT IN PRINT.

This man's hatred has made it mentally ill. Thank God that I as a black man DO NOT think this way. It frees me to live my life to the fullest. And make friends anywhere and from many cultures and backgrounds.
Of course, it would be nice if God gave me a $1.5 million dollar house, too :-)
Isn’t it amazing what the love of Christ has done for us all? There is truly freedom in salvation!
The two faux-ministers get together occasionally to whoop it up on the mothership.
