It seems America owes an apology to the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the one-time spiritual leader of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago and Barack Obama's former pastor. He says those now-infamous, anti-American statements he made from the pulpit were taken out of context.
"The world doesn't know about my 41 years of ministry, or my writing of books, because it was all taken down to a 10-second sound bite that the media chose to show about a sermon that was delivered seven years ago," the Rev. Wright said Thursday night at a gathering in Milford. "The media didn't care about the whole sermon and what it was about. They just used those 10 seconds and used it as a weapon of mass destruction against (Sen. Obama's) campaign."
So when he said, "God Damn America," or "U.S. of KKKA," he didn't mean it in a bad way; he was just taken out of context.
On Thursday night, was he again taken out of context? One newspaper quoted him as saying "it is not just the Bible that has racism written into it, but the Quran, the Vedas and other religious texts," and "(m)y biggest fear is that we will take (Sen. Obama's election) and think a whole lot has changed."
One of our biggest fears is hate-filled, stuck-in-the-'50s race hustlers will continue to pick at the scabs of America's racist past to ensure the wounds never heal.

Well, I'm just an average "Whitey" clinging to my guns and religion, but Jeremiah Wright, Baraq Hussein 0bama, Louis Ferrakhan and all the rest can kiss my a$$, and that is IS NOT taken out of context.
Can anyone enlighten me as to where racism is in the Bible?
There are recognitions of the practice of slavery (not condoning it), but I don’t remember seeing anything about skin color...
“One of our biggest fears is hate-filled, stuck-in-the-’50s race hustlers will continue to pick at the scabs of America’s racist past to ensure the wounds never heal.”
Well, you know, it’s a great way to earn a living. *SPIT*
“(m)y biggest fear is that we will take (Sen. Obama’s election) and think a whole lot has changed.”
Your, Jesse’s and Al’s because if that happens, your careers are over.
“One of our biggest fears is hate-filled, stuck-in-the-’50s race hustlers will continue to pick at the scabs of America’s racist past to ensure the wounds never heal.”
Exactly. Of course, the argument will be made now that he’s only half black, so America still hasn’t truly proven itself.
That’s not “multi-cultural”. That’s still all-white.
They may be referring to going against Egyptians, Jebusites, Samaritans, etc....
Now, Jeremiah, admit what you really feel deep in your heart: you hate America, capitalism, and Whites and wish death and pain upon them.
After you and your racist brethren confiscate all their wealth, of course.
Dear Reverend Wright,
I am sorry that you are a hate mongering Anti-American minister who teaches Liberation Theology and the overthrow of the current power structure in America. I am also sorry that your valued Bible studies and sermons had no impact on particular members of your congregation who palled around with William Ayers and did business with convicted felon Tony Rezko.
Do you accept my apology?
Sincerely, mlocher
