So, Obama and his fellow congregationists are Black Separatists. The flip side of the Aryan Nation.
Looks like Obama is a divider and not a uniter.
Switch the word "white" for "black" in this diatribe - and it reads racist.
When you start pointing fingers at people's religions, you're heading down a slippery slope.
Wow. If that wasn't a "black church" it would be recognized as OBVIOUSLY racist. Good thing only whites can be racist.
So much for MLK's dream.
Unbelievable. I am so tired of the double-standard racism tolerated by Democrats and the MSM. When will this garbage ever end!
Egads!
That's cute, the way the author capitalizes Black, but leaves white lower case.
That was my first thought. What would people say if such a sermon substituted the words "Black" and "African" with "White" and "European"? I imagine there would be an uproar and the writer would be called an extremist.
...or that was committed to Ireland or Sweden?
. A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA.
With the emphasis, I would assume everything else is negotiable.
Commitment to the Black Family
The Black family circle must generate strength, stability, and love despite the uncertaintyof externals, because these characteristics are required if the developing person is to withstand warping by our racist competitive society.
Disavowal of the Pursuit of “Middleclassness”
Classic methodology on control of captives teaches that captors must keep the captiveignorant educationally, but trained sufficiently well to serve the system. Also, the captorsmust be able to identify the “talented tenth” of those subjugated, especially those who show promise of providing the kind of leadership that might threaten the captor’s control.
Those so identified as separated from the rest of the people by:
Killing them off directly, and/or fostering a social system that encourages them to kill offone another.
Placing them in concentration camps, and/or structuring an economic environment that induces captive youth to fill the jails and prisons. Seducing them into a socioeconomic class system which while training them to earnmore dollars, hypnotizes them into believing they are better than others and teaches themto think in terms of “we” and “they” instead of “us”.
So, while it is permissible to chase “middle-incomeness” with all our might, we must avoid the third separation method-the psychological entrapment of Black “middleclassness”: If we avoid the snare, we will also diminish our “voluntary”contributions to methods A and B. And more importantly, Black people no longer will be deprived of their birthright, the leadership, resourcefulness, and example of their own talented persons.

Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
Under his leadership, Trinity adopted the motto "Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian" and has set out to make activism within and on behalf of the African American community a key aspect of the church's mission. An outspoken community leader, Wright has been vocal in making once-taboo issues, such as AIDS, a priority within the African American church leadership and service. His commitment to political activism, coupled with his dedication to the African American sermonic tradition, has made him a highly sought-after speaker nationally and internationally.
The Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Senior pastor of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, is considered one of the nation’s leading authorities on and advocates for social, spiritual and economic justice. His topic is “The Emerging of African American Cultures: Who Stole my Identity?”
When he took over Trinity United Church of Christ in 1972, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. was a maverick pastor with a wardrobe of dashikis and a militant message.
Six years later, he planted a "Free South Africa" sign on the lawn of his church and asked other local religious leaders to follow his lead.
None took him up on the invitation.
The sign stayed until the end of apartheid, --long enough to catch the eye of a young Barack Obama, who visited the church in 1985 as a community activist. Obama, was not a churchgoer at the time, but he found himself returning to the sanctuary of Trinity United. In Wright he had found both a spiritual mentor and a role model.
with his win in the Democratic U.S. Senate primary race for a U.S. Senate seat, he found a growing audience by preaching the politics of social justice
The rebellious son of a Baptist minister, Wright was hired by Trinity United when he could find no Baptist church to take him. The congregation on 95th Street, then numbering just 87, had recently adopted the motto "Unashamedly black and unapologetically Christian." They did not mind his fiery red Afro and black power agenda.
often questioning the common sense of Scripture, objecting to mandatory prayer in schools and clashing with clergy
"The black church is probably the only space in America where black men can have unquestioned authority,"
Wright takes members of his flock to different African nations every year. Wright also encourages youths in the congregation to attend historically black colleges and universities
The pastor warned the community activist that getting involved with Trinity might turn off other black clergy because of the church's radical reputation.
the senator does check with his pastor before making any bold political moves.
Also, what's with this "Disavowal of the Pursuit of Middleclassness" (#8 ) ?
How does that "jive" with Osama's purchase of a sumptious home and sidelot ?
Sorta odd for an alleged "Christian church" to profess a total of 22 committments, and not a single mention of Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior.
BTTT
Obama considers himself an African American even though he is half white. This fraud if elected will not be the presdient of all Americans. He will do what he thinks is the best for "his people" (blacks). Most whites that will vote for him will do so out of guilt in order to prove that they themselves are not racist.
