Did you notice this? It's in the section where Obama's about to join a church :
After many lectures like this, Obama decided to take a second look at Wright's church. Older pastors warned him that Trinity was for "Buppies"--black urban professionals--and didn't have enough street cred. But Wright was a former Muslim and black nationalist who had studied at Howard and Chicago, and Trinity's guiding principles--what the church calls the "Black Value System"--included a "Disavowal of the Pursuit of Middleclassness.'"Reverend Wright " was a former Muslim"???? Anyone ever seen THAT before? Interesting, too, the way it's written...as if his being a former Muslim was of particular importance to Obama. Sure would like to know why the author wrote it that way....
good catch... I wonder if this has legs...
“But Wright was a former Muslim and black nationalist who had studied at Howard and Chicago,..”
???WHAT???? This is the first time I have ever seen something like this. Although, I would not be 100% surprised, since he is good friends with Louis Farrakan, I’m still shocked that this hasn’t been brought up before, if true.
This too . . .
At the University of Chicago Divinity School, Wright earned a masters degree in the history of religions with a focus on Islam.
