LIVE THREAD- Rev. Jeremiah Wright addresses the NAACP in Detroit

CNN | 27 April 2008

And the worst of it are the white people who give this hatred legitimacy, while they run a man like George Allen or Trent Lott out of power for much less. Though I blame them too for letting it happen to them. I don't see Robert Byrd resigning from the Senate. When are we going to stop being intimidated by the "R" (racist) word, and start calling them on their BS???!!!

[kcvl]

I know I should understand that by now. Just think how ‘rich’ we will all be with a Hillary or Obama in the White House?

It makes me sick to think anyone will have to pay more for the ‘poor’ to get ahead. As if they aren’t already getting more than they deserve! Try to hire one of these ‘poor’ people and see them run the other way. The government pays them better to sit on their butt.

“What a tawdry spectacle our politics has become!”

Yes, it has become a tawdry spectacle and if it wasn’t so pathetic and saddening it would almost be amusing.

[kcvl]

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”.

But it's still our fault when they kill one another. /s

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.

Gad-eFing-Zooks! Janet J is drink stronger Kool-Aid than I am!

Re: But it's still our fault when they kill one another.

Yet, it is all those typical White people who cause Black on Black killings!

And while on the subject, it is all us typical White people who also caused all those killing down in Mexico between the drug gangs!

Thank you Dr. Wright for clarifying that different is not deficient, just simply different.

Who, pray tell, and when has ANYONE said that being different is deficient?

That line is evidence that Hussein's campaign hacks are at work on this board, they sound just silly, setting up arguments when there is nothing to argue about, lol!

For starters we need to drop the laundry list litmus tests for our candidates, and start electing men who have already produced results, have talents, are accomplished, ruthless and SOBs.

No more running only lifetime pols, lawyers and preachers.

I think you mean "...start electing men who have already produced results, have talents, are accomplished, ruthless sumbitches.

After all, most of the "lifetime pols, lawyers and preachers" I know are SOBs already!

[windsorknot]

Obama .. you just might be really cooked.

I prefer my Obama well done.

[Bender2]

Ya know, you'd think the nObama Campaign could get a spokeswoman who didn't have a Valley Gal accent to plead his case on Fox!

But then again, the Rev Wright wouldn't have a target if the gal spoke Ebonics!

[windsorknot]

After all is said and done we will have hours of verses from the Book of Jeremiah Wright to “take out of context”.

[1035rep]

"It is time for America to step up and embrace change or go the way of previous empires like Rome and the UK."

Someone should explain to Miles El that embracing race baiting, black militants is not the kind of change America is looking for.  Miles El is so deluded that I wonder if he's a plant just for the comedy.

[1035rep]

What! You didn’t “hear” or “understand” her? LOL

Just saw it via Tivo.

[vox humana]

How many times is CNN going to rerun this speech?

The new CNN motto:

Wright News You Can Trust

[weegee]

So is ALL of this still “out of context”?

Is the hatred explict yet?

Is Bill Moyers outed as a white hating bigot yet?

Has the NAACP and the NOI been tainted by the stain of Original Sin of BLACK BIGOTRY yet?

[don-o]

nObama Campaign could get a spokeswoman who didn't have a Valley Gal accent to plead his case on Fox!

That pattern of speech drives me crazy. I hear it from kids in East Tennessee, fer cryin' out loud

[whatshotandwhatsnot]

How did this speech do anything but enhance Wright’s racism? Was this supposed to help Barry Hussein or just provide a racist hate monger more than his 15 minutes? CNN hasn’t an ounce of credibility in any case and it was a slow news night.
