Jeremiah Wright speaking live now.
Fascinating.
You can also get it live streaming from CNN
He got his degrees from Harvard (BS and MA) and his doctorite from some theological school in Chicago (in ISLAMIC STUDIES!).
That bit about people with different accents not being criticized for their English was ridiculous. ("Only the black child is told he speaks bad English.")
It should be obvious that there is a huge difference between having an accent and being unable to conjugate verbs and determine when to use an adjective vs. adverb etc.
Good English is the universal language of success. To defend the speaking of Blinglish is to condemn kids to the ghetto. It's child abuse.
There was plenty of sarcasm to his so-called humor.
sw
I think half or more of these arse-monkey copmmentators, are pandering in the hopes that they will not be the first ones beaten up when the next Civil War begins (in about 6 short months!) GEEZUZ! I am astounded by the people that blindly follow this hate-filled rhetoric!
Rum and coke for me.
I had to turn it off. Maybe if I can just read a transcript without all the screaming I’ll be able to keep my blood pressure in check. I don’t respond well to screaming.
Soledad O’ Brien is high right now.
And how do other blacks that go to school every day, get good grades and go to college learn?
I’m guessing it’s even worse for YOUNG single white man. LOL!
What’s the difference between Reverend Wright and the DNC followers?
“He [Wright] translated the Bible into lessons about...the misguided pursuit of ‘middle-classness.’”
To listen to Wright — more an apostle of the left than the Christian church — the model for blacks is alienation, deep resentment, separation and grievance. All of which leads to militancy. Militancy is important. It’s the sword dangled over the head of society. Either fork over more tax dollars, government services and patronage or else. And unlike the Reverend Moss and his kindred, I’ll specify the “else.” Civil unrest. Disruptions in cities. Riot in the streets.
If any further proof is needed that black liberation theology has nothing to do with the vision of Martin Luther King — with reconciliation, brotherhood and universality — the words of James H. Cone, on faculty at New York’s Union Theological Seminary, may persuade. Cone, not incidentally, originated the movement known as black liberation theology. He said to The Washington Post:
“The Christian faith has been interpreted largely by those who enslaved black people, and by the people who segregated them.”
Did Bill and Hillary slip something in his drink before the speech? Or maybe Carville.
I assumed that was codespeak to the audience indicating that the media was there and they were LIVE! From Detroit!
It’s the Reverend Dr. Fullofshit!!!!
Thanks, Miss Eva.
I knew it was Black Liberation Theology - I had no idea about the islamic religion deal, though.
I’m starting to wonder if racism will ever end with professional grievance mongers like Wright.

Obama Just Lost New England [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
I’m only half listening, but Jeremiah Wright seems to be attacking Boston accents — and the Kennedys in particular.

Shocking News [Kathryn Jean Lopez]
CNN is airing Jeremiah Wright at a NAACP dinner in Detroit live.
UPDATE: He just plugged CNN’s Soledad O’Brien and Roland Martin. So maybe not shocking.

Judging from the way he’s blowing his campaign, I’d say he used neither.
Rick Sanchez is so freakin liberal. Are all CNN “analysts” Obama supporters or limp wristed guilt mongers like Sanchez?
Btw, the DUmmies claim to have a 100,000 membership. All one has to do is compare the length of their thread to the length of this FR thread to know that claim is utter BS.
He uses the term “European”
-——————————————————>
Well has it not dawn on the Rev that we all came over on the Boat? Just from different Countries?
He needs a history lesson about white, yellow and black slavery!
Has the thought of assimilation every crossed this bigots mind? How many other people of color do we have in the USA that call ourselves AMERICANS....NOT....AFRICAN AMERICANS....what if you are born in America, are you still an African American.
Rev Wright is his and the black community’s own worse enemy.
“After watching the speech, I don’t know if I want to barf, laugh out loud or start sipping some of my stepdad’s expensive Courvoisier XO Imperial cognac just to wipe out the memory of that speech. “
I vote for the Cognac! Wish I could join ya!
