Rev. Wright: Big Oil Attacked Because It's Black
Scrappleface ^ | 4/2/08 | Scott Ott

(2008-04-02) — The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, retired pastor to Sen. Barack Obama, said today that politicians “are getting after Big Oil because it’s black,” noting that “you don’t hear nobody talking smack like that on Big Milk.”

The Rev. Wright said he came out of seclusion to make the remarks out of concern that substantive presidential campaign issues like energy policy might push discussion of America’s racial divisions out of the headlines.

“Milk now costs an average of $3.70 per gallon,” said the Rev. Wright, “while gasoline is still less than $3.30 at the pump, and yet oil gets blamed for all our problems, from global warming to the war in Iraq. People say it’s slimy, dirty, toxic…but you don’t hear them dissin’ milk like that.”

The former pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago asked rhetorically, “Why don’t we see posters of Brooke Shields or Mariska Hargitay sporting an oil mustache? I rest my case.”

Well, the Bigger Issue is bottled water (the cheap stuff at $1.29 for 12 oz) puts water at the price of $6.88 a gallon.

If you go for the “Celebrity” p. diddy Vitamin Water, well your taking closer to $12.00 bucks a gallon...and that Midwestern prices (not including taxes).

I see people drinking this stuff at the gas station and b*tcing about the cost of petro....go figure! BTW...ever see tap water at any of these political rallies? No wonder Hillary can't pay her bills.

This really shows how ignorant some people can be. Back in the 70’s there was a book written called “Bushels for Barrels”. It was about the descrepency of the price of a bushel of grain vs a barrel of oil.
He needs to price milk at $3.90 to oil at $99.00 then he would be in the ball park.
This black vs white is really getting under my skin. I never USED to care what color a person was if they could get the job done.
HOWEVER, I must say that I’ve never seen a “whitey” say he/she was a ___________-American.
I’m an American-American. That needs to be our new tagline when we speak. And, help me out here, is there anyone other than “African-Americans” that refer to THEMSELVES in that form?
GET OVER IT YOU JERK - YOUR THE PROBLEM NOT THE SOLUTION.

In a related story, spiritual head of the Black Irish Church, Rev. Sean Puffy McNoir, expressed support for Rev. Wright’s defense of Big Oil and took the opportunity to pressure Big Cereal for inclusion of chocolate Lucky Charms among pink hearts, yellow moons and green clovers.

So ironic... 'Evian' spelled backwards is 'naive'.

Gotta love Scrappleface.

They just hit all the right buttons on people to have fun. Look at some of the blood-vessel-busting responses so far.

Not too far from reality...I could see him getting around to this, after Obama loses the nomination/general election: “It was all those Typical White-Milk Drinkers!”
