Rev. Wright: Civil Rights Movement About 'Becoming White'

Rev. Jeremiah Wright unleashed a slew of racially charged proclamations at a seminar in Chicago last week, reportedly comparing the United States with apartheid South Africa and claiming the civil rights movement was about "becoming white."

The comments were reported by the New York Post, which provided details about a five-day class President Obama's former pastor taught at the Chicago Theological Seminary.

In the seminar, Wright reportedly told those in the class they will never "be a brother to white folk," describing racial divisions in the country as entrenched -- as he did as pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ.

"Marxism sure does provide a wealthy lifestyle for the upper end of the party."

Don't you mean the "uppity" end?

Take a look at the “reverend” - he’s lighter skinned than a suntanned Irishman.

Wright reportedly told those in the class they will never "be a brother to white folk,"

Well, they'll never be my brother because A) I never had one to begin with and B) both of my Parents were white, which pretty much rules out any black children.

Jeremiah Wright appears to be half-White himself..
Like Barry Half-White himself...

Looking at that big mouthed race baiting worthless clown, he has a lot of White daddy’s in his gene pool.

Booker T. Washington knew.

Wish I could think of a clever bumper sticker with that: hmmm

[Tax-chick]

It seems to have worked out pretty well for him. I’ve got kids with darker skin than Rev. Wright’s, and they’re only 1/8 Cherokee.

BUMP

So, he wants blacks to be a perpetual underclass,

because what he’s really railing against is assimilation
into the successful AMERICAN culture.

“I would like to buy this newspaper...”

[Fred Hayek]

And when did Booker T Washington write that? Indeed prophetic.

It’s nothing new. Newark (NJ) Central High School in the 70’s: Students who wanted to learn instead of just occupying space in an age 14 and up day care center were called “oreo”, “uncle tom/aunt jemima”, “race traitor” and even “white m-f”. By the faculty and administration. Peer pressure and authority pressure to remain in the underclass.

This from a guy who lives in a brand new 10,000 sq. ft. home built by his church in a high end gated community that has only 2% blacks living there.

Sounds pretty damn 'white bread' to me.

They’re called Democrats. I can’t imagine how Rev Wright would answer this. But he seems to be one of those that Washington speaks of, at least with comments like these.

Wow. Wonder what the “Reverend” would label Mr. Washington? Nothing complimentary, I’m sure.

[avacado]

Looks like the liberals and Democats have already classified Booker T Washington as an "Uncle Tom." Google Search Results: Booket T Washington "uncle tom"
