must stop! It is them evil white Republicans that are the true racists!
Not at all surprised. I bet that the % would be much higher in the area that I live.
I would like to hear Bishop Jakes' take on this, though.

Isn’t that like 3 points higher than Congress?
Who is Bishop Jakes'?
That double post is the work of one of Rev. Wright’s trolls, just to make me look bad. Pay it no mind! LOL!
Wright would have been better off claiming Bush planned 9/11.
Bishop TD Jakes is a well-known black minister in Dallas. His flock would be classified as a mega-church, known as “The Potter’s House”.
Thanks, we in Maine don’t get much news about what’s happening in Texas.
“”Just 8% Have Favorable Opinion of Pastor Jeremiah Wright”””
What are their DU screen names?
Thats 8% of the 13.3% of the total Black Population of America?
Until he refutes the ENTIRE CONGREGATION that is eagerly lapping up this racist rhetoric, his apologies aren’t enough. We must keep hammering this home....
Interestingly unreported was the fact that ‘Pastor’ Wright only approved of just 2% of people in the United States... /sarc
They had their chance on Saturday...they didn’t seem to have any second thoughts.
I'd say the entire theology, but your point is correct.
Wright is not some off-the-wall preacher. He is a highly effective preacher of Black Theology.
This is a separatist and racist theology from the 60s - it's the Christian version of the Black Muslims, and was designed in part to combat flight of angry young males to the Nation of Islam.
It's not "traditional African American theology" as Wright would tell us. It's certainly not the theology of a race uniter as Obama wishes to sell us.
Americans, black and white, reject this theology, and that must be the focus of issue here. Obama must be forced to defend the beliefs of his church as he chose them, not just Pastor Wright.
Just What Did Obama Know About Wright's Past Sermons? (Plenty)
“Barack Obama either agreed with what was preached from the Trinity pulpit, or he tuned it out and stayed around pretending to for political reasons. To say he stayed for 20 years but doesn't agree with Wright's preaching is incredible denial. It'd be like a man buying White Sox season tickets for 20 years, attending the games, and saying he's not a fan.”
Obama’s supporters want us to ignore this story… just push it under the rug. While they’ll align Republicans with any obscure pastor who does or says something controversial, they’re trying to convince us that Obama’s 20-year long close relationship with Wright, including his effective endorsement of him, his church and rhetoric with a $22,500 donation in 2006 is irrelevant.
“When Obama decided against wearing an American flag pin, we may all have been a bit too quick to accept his rationale, too quick to find that issue unimportant. Now, that American flag pin has gotten a lot bigger for a lot of us, especially in light of what may have been and may still be Obama’s deeper, and, perhaps, secret, less than patriotic beliefs about America.”
“Wright says that blacks can’t be expected to sing God Bless America because of racism. Obama doesn’t salute the flag during the National Anthem. That sure strikes me as an amazing coincidence since Obama swears he never heard Wright say anything against America.”
“So almost 80% of blacks support this kind of speech. Does anyone see the 800lb gorilla in the room? Or are we too P.C.?”
Exactly, if seeing those videos didn’t dissuade you from voting for Obama you would have to be a racist, a fool or someone totally consumed by hate.
Looking at the statistics, remembering how many felt after the OJ travesty of justice, I’d say that racial integration has not worked very well.
