Editor’s note: CNN Contributor Roland Martin has listened to several of the sermons of Rev. Jeremiah Wright from Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. Portions of the sermons have been excerpted in recent stories. Martin says listening to the full sermons help put the excerpts in context.
I just finished listening to the nearly 40-minute sermon Rev. Jeremiah Wright gave on April 13, 2003, titled, “Confusing God and Government.”

The more they talk about it, the more it won’t go away.
CNN has lots of lipstick for pigs.
It’s the nuance, baby!
so much so it could knock the earth of its axis.
Yes, but lipstick can't cover the smell of porcine feces.
I am so sick of this crap. Now we need to read all of his statements so we can better understand.
After I read the whole sermon, I realize now that, well he is a racist pig.
Someone in the press should ask Obama why his church is “committed to Africa” but not there own state or country.
This is great, keep talking about it, never let it die.
Maybe CNN can tell us what kind of discharge Jeremiah Wright received from the Marines, where he was stationed and what was his rank?
And they even put the lipstick on the wrong end of the pig.
Yes, you are correct.
P U....it stinketh
Maybe someone can ask Obama if he even registered for the draft?
His detractors keep saying everything is out of context. Heads must be exploding at Dumbasses Underground.
Would they go through this many hoops if it were a white politician who attended a “white nationalist” church for twenty years? Defenders of Wright’s “church” say that it is a great church because they provide day care and social services. Would such actions absolve the Klan? Racism is ugly and morally repugnant regadless who practicies it and offering day care and social services does not make it acceptable.
CNN trying desperately to save their black sock puppet.
“committed to Africa” but not there own state or country
Sorry. “their” own country.
The Trinity Church subscribes to Black Liberation Theology. I believe that Obama does not leave that Church for one simple reason. Despite his new found disgust in "some" terminology that Wright employed, Obama has bought into and agreess with the theology that the church teaches. He is raising his kids in it.
Most of us feel strongly about the christian churches we attend. If the clergy depart from the theology that we accept in our hearts, we leave them and find a congregation and doctrine that we subscribe to and will make better men and women of us (through the atonement of Jesus Christ) and allow us to help others.
The Black Liberation theology subscribed to by Trinity is what Obama subscribes to. He's been going and donating to it for twenty yerars. That theology, is the admitted theology of Reverend Wright and the congregation. Wright admits that he preaches his brand of that theology based, in part, on the works of one James Cone...who describes that theology as follows:
"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community ... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love."
That theology accepts a perverted and wrested interpretation of Jesus Christ because it describes him as a poor black man (or man of color) living under oppressive white European rule (the Romans) and that he was as much about social change as he was spiritual. He therefore meets their criteria for a God who supports their black power insurgency against what they describe as the ruling rich white men and women in America.
They have perverted the love, peace, forgiveness, and inner focus (spiritual focus) of Christ and His atonement which teaches us that we change within, and when we are healed spiritually, then the outter man follows... and they have turned him into a social radical, hell bent on political and social change at any cost who supports their hate and "revenge" to suit their needs.
This is the message about Obama and his "church" that needs to be spread. I do not believe it is at all subscribed to by most blacks, and certainly not by society at large. But it has been hidden and flying under the radar in these churches and for political correctness purposes has been heretofore untouchable. But now the cat is out of the bag.
It is shocking, is is disgusting...and it is dangerous. And it is in no wat related to, or a derivitve of American foreign policy or society. The fact is America has set more people free (even through a horrific civil war of our own) and assisted more people's than any other nation on earth.
This same type of liberation theology has been used for decades in Latin America to pervert Catholics and goad them into rising into Marxist rebellions in class warfare. That is what this is...and it is the version accepted and practised by black radicals in this country and it is intent on changing this country into a socio-marxist state where wealth, opportunity, and position are not earned by individuals, but instead are handed out by the state...and in this case they simply want to be the ones redistributing it all.
I do think we all need to be more aware of how extensive Anti Americanism is as a form of fashionable bigotry and hatred.
It is more than this one pastor and is extensively promoted within academia.
It needs to be seen for the hatred that it is.
Gee, Trent Lott had to go away for one sentence he uttered. Everyone said that by that one sentence they learned something about the REAL Trent Lott.
(Not that I’m a big fan of Lott.)
I’m less of a fan of hypocrites who use a tiny yardstick to measure people they don’t like with, and use a huge-ass yardstick to measure people they do like. Like Wright’s defenders who called for Lott’s (and every other conservative who says something stupid and takes it to be unforgivable) but say we have taken Wright out of context.
Bullcrap to these hypocrites.
