Barack Obama Knew That Rev. Wright Was A Racist I

This is the first in a long line of blogs that will show that Barack Obama knew that Rev. Wright was a racist, long before the You Tube video clips of Rev. Jeremiah Wright saying "white America, U.S. of KKKA" (among other things) surfaced.

Barack Obama, according to his book, "Dreams From My Father," said that at the very first service he attended at Trinity United Church of Christ, and the very first time he heard Rev. Jeremiah Wright preach from the pulpit, he heard the following words spoken by Rev. Jeremiah Wright:

Dreams From My Father, Page 293

'"... It is this world, a world where cruise ships throw away more food in a day than most residents of Port-a-Prince see in a year, where white folks' greed runs a world in need, apartheid in one hemisphere, apathy in another hemisphere ... That's the world! On which hope sits."

And so it went, a meditation on a fallen world. While the boys next to me doodled on their church bulletin, Reverend Wright spoke of Sharpesville and Hiroshima, the callousness of policy makers in the White House and in the State House ... "'

Barack Obama has the words "white folks' greed runs a world in need" in his book within quotation marks.

If a white politician had said "black folks... " and followed up 'folks' with something derogatory to describe black people, or something derogatory to describe their nature as people, there would be hell to pay since it would be considered a racist statement.

No difference in this. "White folks' greed," is a racist statement.

Barack Obama should have ran from that church as fast as he could. But rather, he joined the church. He knew what Rev. Jeremiah Wright was about, from the very first time he heard him preach from the pulpit.

Barack Obama has no excuses. And we need not take a meaningless trip into what Rev. Jeremiah Wright meant in that sermon. Some words and statements are just unacceptable, and this is an example of just that.

When Barack Obama says that he had no idea what Rev. Jeremiah Wright was all about and did not know what kind of man he would choose to be as his mentor and spiritual advisor was, it is a bald-faced lie on his part.

So wealthy “black folks” who take cruises cannot possibly be greedy because they are an exploited and oppressed group, right, or are they the insidious Uncle Toms, whom the (wealthy) Rev. Wright can excoriate along with all us greedy middle-class white exploiters of po’ folks everywhere?

I just passed a filthy white homeless guy. I guess he is one of the oppressors of the filthy rich Rev. Wright?
