o’reilly’s major complaint was wright’s lack of appreciation for the united states.
that’s not fair. whites criticize their government without being attacked as wright was attacked.
also, wright’s old enough to remember the structural racism of america.
a black woman i know said wright was correct because she remembers black men in her home town when she was a child in alabama being hung.
Nothing unfair about it. Wright is an Anti-American race monger who deserves zero respect.
I guess Rev Wright is such a keen judge of countries and history and justice, and this is why he visited and praised the murderous terrorist dictator Khaddafi, and why he regularly denounces America for daring to criticize the likes of murdering dictators like Khaddafi and Castro. Perhaps since you heard there once were some hangings here, and you know Rev Wright is correct, you should go live in one of the utopias that Rev Wright is so fond of. I’m sure places like Cuba and Libya have none of the problems Rev Wright has discovered here. You would be so happy there, even though they’d imprison you, you’d never dare post a comment on a message board there, there is no defense for anyone charged with a crime, no free speech, no privacy, no ownership of anything. In other words, Rev Wright praises countries in which you would be a SLAVE. Yeah, Rev Wright is a brilliant man.
Yeah, I've heard that.
So, because a black man was hung in Alabama in the what- the 30's? that means wright is right, that the constitution has white supremacy and slavery structured into the constitution?
What about that polish guy who was murdered by blacks in Chicago in 1955?
Shouldn't Polish people be shouting from the church pulpit that America has black supremacy and bigotry against Polish people structured in it's constitution?
But you see, ken21, Wright doesn't consider America his country.
He considers Africa his Motherland and is pledged to loyalty only to Africa. It is so stated on their web site.

Besides, he doesn't actually believe half of what he's saying. The whole rant at America is a business to these people. Even Booker T. Washington said it a hundred years ago.
They are professional rabble rousers whose income depends on stirring the pot.
In the meantime, he's getting ready to move into a new 10+million dollar house in a gated community, with new white neighbors, a house paid for by his parishioners. He drives a Porsche...
Poor, downtrodden black man in a country that keeps the black man down....not hardly
It's a flim-flam business...and the people he's fleecing are his own...
It is his preferred delusion that the entirety of the US, societally, economically, politically, and (of course) racially is corrupt to the bone, start to finish, alpha to omega.
In this view, he is full of crap. Further, were he not a black man and a 'preacher', he would instantly run afoul of PCism, and be condemned by the PC boffins.
Never mind the PC boffins of the Left; this jackass, this braying jackass, deserves the contumely of every decent citizen of whatever race and/or set of sociopolitical views.
In short, he is a spewer of nothing but hatred. No ideas, no philosophy, no viewpoint really. Just ''I hate the United States in every one of its aspects''.
And, given the house in which he lives, he is also stunningly hypocritical.
I didn't see O'Reilly's piece on this turd. No matter; whatever he said, O'Reilly was FAR too easy on him.
Slavery still goes on today, it's a cultural "right" according to the religion of peace's prophet Mohammad. Yet many blacks convert to Islam, the dult that was largely responsible for the slave trade to European slave traders shipping to America.
Polish and Ukrainian people, escaping virtual slavery in the Soviet union, came to North America only to have their property stripped from them and tossed in enternment and labor camps here at the beginning of the 20th century.
You don't see them or their descendants blaming their failures today on the past. They got over it and moved forward.
So am I and I don't hate America.
a black woman i know said wright was correct because she remembers black men in her home town when she was a child in alabama being hung.
I was bussed to my jr hi school in 1960s Florida. Hardly a day went by that our bus wasn't attacked by angry whites pelting it with rocks and any thing they could find to throw. I also remember the day our bus had to take a detour around a black man hanging from those spikes used by linemen on a telephone pole. Every child on that bus saw it and like me will probably never forget it.
But I still don't hate America.
I remember accompanying my eldest brother to his job at a filling station, a station that had three bathrooms; men, women and blacks. I remember angry whites yelling "Hurry up, Nigger" while my brother, obviously embarrassed could say nothing but continue filling their tanks.
All this, yet I still don't hate America.
Blacks who choose to hate 21st century America do so because they want to, not because they have bad memories of days gone by.
Is that like the black churches bill clinton remembered burning in Ark? It didn’t happen. And do you think it’s OK for a preacher to yell “God Damn America” from the pulpit? I read every day about black people killing white people just for being white, but I don’t blame America for it. Wright is a racist POS.
If any of the other candidates’ spiritual advisors were spouting racist hatred as does Obama’s, that candidate wouldn't still be in the race and rightly so. Your race card isn't worth playing here.
Wrong.
O Reily's major complaint was that Wright is a very influential and irresponsible racist and antagonist, along with being a complete loon who literaly makes claims that the US deserved 911 and engineered AIDS to strike down blacks. Considering that the #1 method of contracting the disease is homosexual anal sex, and the #2 most popular method is sharing a hyperdermic needle with an aids infested junkie, what does that say about Wrights logic - that the CIA took a poll and deduced that only black men are gay &/or IV drug addicts, so they could easily dispense of them with no worries for the dozens of other races here?
Same thing with his rants about the 3 strikes law - to believe Wright, you'd have to assume blacks are so likely to commit felonies and so predictably unlikely to rehabilitate, that the government could count on permanantly locking up blacks and only blacks?
Have you noticed that no other pastors of any other race are babbling this nonsense?
What you're calling "attacked" is what in reality is being "exposed".
Yes, Wright is old enough to remember racism. He exudes racism. He fosters racism. He depends on racism, and he got caught exposing his and Obama's racism.
He's a disgusting little man that has got filthy rich nurturing hate and keeping racism alive while the rest of the country has for the most part walked away from and rejected it, and he should be called on the carpet for it, and not just because he's influenced a similarly racist and elitest member of his congregation who is (badly) trying to hide his racism.
It's because there's no room for that crap in this country, not from anyone.
that’s not fair. whites criticize their government without being attacked as wright was attacked
I guess you've never heard BOR talk about Cindy Sheehan, Michael Moore, Sean Penn and dozens other anti American wankers.
One thing you won't often hear "whites" as you put it do is talk like Pastor Wright about another race, but not just because they would immediately be locked up for a hate crime. It's because no one would listen.
There were two black students in my high school thirty years ago...and at my daughter's high school the population is about evenly represented. We say she has no black friends...because she just has friends (some of whom are black.) Because we and others have no hatred poisoning our hearts, our world is a different place.
It is people like this so-called minister that keep racism alive. It would be dead and gone if not for the kind of hatred of others that he cherishes in his heart. Jesus would stand up immediately and walk out of this man's so-called church...given twenty years, why didn't Obama?
Yeah, but that's called murder by some racist, The United States government and the majority of good people in this country at the time did not condone these acts. Are you so blind with idiocy you don't get the difference between murder and condoning murder because some are racist?
Wright went far beyond critizing his country to boarding on being an enemy.
Yes, the same "lack of appreciation" which allows him to live in that million dollar mansion he built with parishoners money...the US has been so awful to this hate-filled prick. BO is exactly wright!
Being hung by Democrats along with white Catholics being hung by Democrats. Perhaps Wright is with the wrong political party is why he's so confused.
Excuse me for sounding callous, but so what?
I don't buy into "hate crime" enhancements, such as when a murder is motivated by race. Murder is wrong, period. It's wrong when whites kill blacks, no matter what the reason. It's also wrong when whites kill whites. It's wrong when blacks kill whites.
This black woman you mentioned, who remembers black men being hanged in her hometown...I wonder if she remembers any other murders from her childhood, maybe black on black or white on white. It's not as if the only murders which occurred before the modern civil rights era were white on black.
