He’s making a point that blacks are as inculcated with cultural muck as whites.
It’s just the Chicago plan that Axelrod has cooking.
Good cop Bad cop routine. Don’t buy it for a second. All planned by Chicago.
Not surprising the self-proclaimed Marxist (Wright) mentioned Du Bois.
Du Bois was a big time communist - never heard of the other two.
Don’t tell me. Jerry is PO’d at Barry because all white taxpayers aren’t in concentration camps yet.
WHAT ???
He didnt mention Booker T Washington or Fredrick Douglass ??? (Silly Nana That Booker T made those poor students WORK and make bricks and build their own classrooms)
George Washington Carver and his 300 uses for the common peanut ??? (Silly Nana he would have to admit that Carver said God inspired him in prayer out in the woods)
Harriet Tubman of the Underground Railroad ???
“They are the foundation,” he said of the names he listed. “These stones of memory shall serve as a sign among you so that in the future when your children, who only know Oprah and Obama, when our children who speak the language of Nas, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne (Weezy) and Ludacris. When your children ask you who are these people and what do these stones mean, these stones mean, you can tell them what it is that God did to get us from where we were to where we are.”
“This is how God brought us out,” he continued. “This is how God brought us over, this is how God brought us through.”
Notably absent from Wright’s list of names was the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.
Wright later went on to suggest that America’s elite universities infect African Americans with “white racist DNA.”
“Take a baby born an African, as an African in the oven,” he said, using Malcolm X’s saying “just because a cat has kittens in the oven, that doesn’t make them biscuits” as a reference point for his riff.,p> “Take that baby him or her away from the African mother, away from the African community, away from the African experience … and put them Africans at the breasts of Yale, Harvard, University of Chicago, those trinity schools, UCLA or U.C. Berkley. Turn them into biscuits then they’ll get that alien DNA all up inside their brain and they will turn on their own people in defense of the ones who are keeping their own people under oppression.”
“There is white racist DNA running through the synapses of their under-brain tissue,” he continued.
“They will kill their own kind, defend the enemies of their kind or anyone who is perceived to be the enemy of the milky white way of life.”
The Reverend Wright is making about as much sense as Calypso Louie.
Or as Obama's economic advisers.
I guess Christ, the new testament, the apostles and the church are only white people foundation stones.
Dissing The Won! He and Oprah are only pebbles at best in their rabble of “building stones”!
Racist snake oil is all his he peddling. And why not, it got him a million dollar crib!
I guess the Reverend thinks the little boys and girls who speak the language of the streets, who are isolated from anything outside the ghetto, will grow up and become leaders of society. Just what values does the Reverend think are important? Gangsta rap?
What a misleading headline.
Citing Oprah and Obama as the present ones the children know is not a ‘seemingly’ hit on Obama.
Maybe that is because Dr. King was a Republican who sought to work within the system.
Nat Turner, on the other hand, is a "foundation stone." Nat Turner and his followers killed about 60 white people. Among the 57 documented are 40 children (many of whom happened to be attending school at the time), with most of the remainder being women and elderly men, many of whom were too poor to even own slaves. But they were all soft targets of opportunity.
As a result of Turner's rampage, 56 of his followers were captured and executed. Those with lesser involvement were sold out of the state. A handful were acquitted. Up to 200 more innocent blacks throughout the south were simply lynched in retaliation.
Sadly, a bill being seriously debated in the Virginia legislature to outlaw slavery and compensate slave owners under the same successful model used by William Wilberforce in England, was voted down and the grip of slavery was tightened, including the outlawing of educating slaves as a result.
Great role model, eh?
