“Why is the truth, or more important facts deemed so controversal to White America?”

Why can’t this guy accept the fact that Wright was preaching “God damn America” on the Sunday after 9/11?

She looks like she is barely controlling as much anger as the reverend.

It’s all that post modernism that they teach in the colleges and universities. The kids are actually starting to believe their meta narrative.

Does CNN have a board again, like the old All Politics board? That was so much fun, arguing with the liberals.

RE: Michelle, Farmington NM April 27th, 2008 10:47 pm ET

I watched the Rev. Wright Speech and found myself very moved by what he had to say. I am a preschool teacher in our local Headstart program, and I have to agree that children do learn differently based on their cultural background. I would also like to know if your Republican analysist I believe her name is Cherie has ever taught in a classroom to make her such an expert in how children learn. She needs to start checking her facts there are studies that show children from different cultural backgrounds do learn differently. So thank you Rev. Wright for telling it like it is. Cherie you could learn a thing or two from Rev. Wright if you would just listen.

Hummmmmmmmmm? Does Michelle from Farmington, NM, know that Rev Wright was speaking of the chosen Black community only, not those non-slave challenged Hispanic folk, and that the racial breakdown (2006) for New Mexico is White 44%, Black 2%, Hispanic 42% and other 12%?

Well, Sunday is a notoriously slow news day, and they have to use something for filler.

We are done, ishma.

Who supports the moochers and looters in the NAACP audience tonight?

Who has paid their way for the last 40 years?

Who pays their huge salaries at their government jobs? (here in Michigan, we all pay for the cess pool city of Detroit)

Who pays the huge salaries at public schools and colleges, only to have their Unions run attacks ads against our candidates and their “teachers” propagandizing our children against our country?

It is sick.

Now, could you ever imagine a more pompously self-righteous person? She’s perfectly willing to “vilify” people who don’t agree with her. Now Reverend Wright is Jesus.

But it’s making acceptable the expression of racial resentments of everyone. That will not be good for anyone.

CNN message board...

Miles El April 27th, 2008 9:35 pm ET

Just watched Wright’s speech and thought it was fantastic. I can see why anyone lacking critical thought and objectivity would not “get it” or perhaps even be fearful. His was a speech mixing intellect, humor, religion and theater. I have never heard anyone dissect the differences between races by using musical time signatures. It was brilliant, funny and, most importantly, very inclusive of all races.

If you are one of those who don’t understand the “change” he spoke of or merely wrote him off as a “racist” then you’re quite likely one of the brainwashed, undereducated for whom the lies of the Clintons, George Bush and Karl Rove make complete sense.

Both Obama and Rev. Wright rightly see America through complex, multi-layered lens that only the thoughtful would understand and appreciate. It’s unfortunate that America’s racist past and dumbed down modern politrix have made it impossible for some of you to get it. This “enlightenment” is the change that is being spoken of.

The world itself has changed (ie China, India, EU). It is time for America to step up and embrace change or go the way of previous empires like Rome and the UK.

Going to be now, but for all those concerned, the schedule of the IRS Stimulus paper check payment is:

Last 2 Digits of SSN — Date Check Will Be Sent
00-09 — May 9
10-18 — May 16
19-25 — May 23
26-38 — May 30
39-51 — June 6
52-63 — June 13
64-75 — June 20
76-87 — June 27
88-99 — July 4

Just my damn luck! My last two digits are 75 and I got my SSN in 1958 at age 11!

The DU crowd is mentally ill, only mentally ill folks could be so masochistic as to delight in someone mocking them, their race, their cherished heros (Kennedy).

When is some Republican in a position of power and the ear of the media going to point out that the emperor has no clothes? How long are people like Sharpton and Wright going to get away with it, how far do they get to go before someone calls them on it? I am so sick and tired of the double standard—against whites, against conservatives, against Christians (as long as they’re not black). I’m tired of it. I am fed up with it. It’s building up to the point where I am ready for the culture war to become more than a euphemism. That’s terrible, but I am. I am going to go off on the next person who expresses agreement with or glee for, some hypocritical lying racist America-hating traitor.

Wow, scary what our colleges produce nowadays, these kids on the CNN message board are desperately trying to convince themselves that what they just heard was not a bunch of pap, lol!

My last two digits are 84 but we aren’t getting one because we are ‘rich’ (according to the people handing out rebate checks). But, some people who don’t even pay taxes are getting rebate checks. Go figure!

Amazing that all these years we have been trying to raise our kids to be decent and treat everyone with respect, regardless of race.

Only to find out that blacks have been doing the opposite? And in their churches?

What a farce.

We have been guilted into paying their way, when they have been perfectly able to do so themselves, only to produce generations of hateful arrogant incompetent boobs who have accomplished zilch for their precious “community”.

Look at the cities they run, they are incapable of producing a civilized society, that can sustain itself without outside and federal gov intervention.

I think these posts are by people working with Wright or Obama. People really can’t be this stupid without trying.

CNN...

Janet J - WV April 27th, 2008 9:44 pm ET

WOW! What a powerful commentary by an extremely well read, well educated individual. Not only did he back his comments by documented studies from top education and linguistic research/professors, historical data relating to the white and black race, he backed his comments by those of the Bible. Why is it that so many people are threatened by an extraordinary person of color? He is truly a powerful orator who is consice and articulate in his delivery of message.

I just completed a graduate course where many of the points Rev. Dr. Wright made were the common theme in two of the course textbooks. It is a fact that everything has been measured by the Euro-American standard and anything that is different from that measurement is considered abnormal or deficient. Previous commentors that have referred to Dr. Wright as a “looney,” or “crazy,” you need to pick up a book and read about the foundations of culture and diversity as it relates to the formation of this country. Information that is still relevant today.

Thank you Dr. Wright for clarifying that different is not deficient, just simply different. Let’s learn to embrace, celebrate, enjoy, and learn from the diversity of this great country. Thank you CNN for your decision to bring this broadcast live to your viewers.
