One of the online biographies refers to both parents as black. His father was a Baptist minister. I think I saw something a while back on one or more of his grandparents which presupposed that they were black. It’s not unlikely that he has some European ancestry, but probably further back.
He was born into a family of means and enjoyed a pampered life in an upper class family and attended the finest private schools money could buy.
Wright’s parents were middle class to upper middle class blacks in Philly. He did not have a harsh upbringing and was just as “privileged” as the average white guy, if not more so.
His hatred for whitey is just his way of riding the gravy train. He became a rich preacher by pandering to an audience who sees themselves as perpetual victims. Every problem or short coming is blamed on an external source— “racism” , and the donation plate keeps getting filled to the brim and the $$$ keep rolling in.
It’s like he’s Arby’s; Sharpton is Jack-in-the-Box; and Jesse Jackson is McDonald’s. They are all in the same industry, but represent different franchises.
