I wanted to get any of Wright's books from our local library, but neither they nor any of the 50 libraries on their network have any of them. I am curious to see if their is continuity of the hate filled speech in his writings. If there is it would be more difficult for Obama to distance himself from the "pastor" as his books were written some time ago.

You can get a pretty good assessment of Wright’s views by googling ‘black liberation theology’. Obama was right when he said that Wright was a “respected theologian”. He is respected, in ‘black liberation theology’. BTW, wiki has a fairly good set of articles including one on Wright.

Check out the first chapter from this one, starts on page 3.

Blow the Trumpet in Zion: Global Vision and Action for the 21st-century

Wright contibuted the first chapter. Interesting reading.

Seems Pastor Wright's family as far back as the late 1800’s were so devastated by white racism and lack of opportunity in America that they ALL earned their degrees in Virginia universities & colleges.

"Capitalism as made manifest in the "New World" depended upon slave labor (by African slaves) and it is only maintained by keeping the "two-thirds world" under oppression."

Interesting, also in that book is Otis Moss III, the new pastor of Obamas church.

[Dinah Lord]

"There could be no pretense about not seeing the arrogance and white supremacy of the white pastor of the First Baptist Church of Richmond, a man to whom the Black presence of Mr. Benjamin Lambert (the caterer) was invisible."

I saw that Joiseydude. Otis, with his hip hop ministry is no prize either...

"Honesty is needed in a day and age when the "colored hustlers" of TV ministry try to act as if that social reality is a thing of the past."

pg 12

Is this a case of the pot calling the kettle black? ;^>

[Billg64]

On page four he speaks about his mentors admiration of Marxist reasoning, “he explained the Hegelian method of dialectical thinking, reasoning and arguing.”

[Old Student]

Try Amazon.com for several of his books, many available used and relatively cheaply.
