Rev. Wright: Civil Rights Movement About 'Becoming White'
fox ^ | 6/28/10 | staff

Posted on 06/28/2010 12:10:55 PM PDT by Nachum

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.

We will, undoubtedly, see lots more about this on reports on NBC, CBS, ABC, MSNBC, CNN et. al.

Oh how sad. How very sad. There seem to be a lot of intellectuals jumping on that bandwagon. Booker was right.

If the first black president had been more conservative and less radical, and less likely to view the WH as party and golf time, I think racism would have disappeared as a force in this country.

For me he has reinforced every stereotype I ever had of black men. Rode to power on Affirmative Action but didn’t really produce, hangs out with creeps, likes to party too much and self indulgent, expects others to pay for his free ride, just plain lazy, plays basketball when regular hard working folk are going to church on Sunday morning, and everything is someone else’s fault. He IS a stereotype.

The only one he didn’t do is that he married his babymomma.

That is so sad.

And IIRC, this is Rev. Wright's new home in the "land of the greed and home of the slave". (old picture - I'm sure it's finished now.)

There is nothing leftists love more than war, misery, and death despite their “peace” rhetoric. They will continue to divide groups and pit them against one another until the end of the world.

"He’s insane."

A succinct and accurate observation.

You have to laugh at all the people who were expecting Obama to be a “healer” when he spent 20 years listening to this guy.
