"White Man's Greed" (1st Rev. Wright Sermon That Obama Heard At Trinity United
Slate.com ^ | 3/30/2008 | Mickey Kaus

Dreams of My Father

... Page 293 (paperback edition)

Obama remembers a sermon by Rev. Jeremiah Wright:

"... It is this world, a world where cruise ships throw away more food in a day than most residents of Port-a-Prince see in a year, where white folks' greed runs a world in need, apartheid in one hemisphere, apathy in another hemisphere ... That's the world! On which hope sits."

And so it went, a meditation on a fallen world. While the boys next to me doodled on their church bulletin, Reverend Wright spoke of Sharpesville and Hiroshima, the callousness of policy makers in the White House and in the State House. ... [E.A.]

Sounds controversial! Keep in mind: a) Obama isn't disapproving of this sermon. In the book he weeps at the end of it...

More from the article:

1.) "This quotation is at the heart of the afrocentric philosophy that Obama says drew him to the church."

2.) "In his March 18th race speech Obama reads the passage from his book that describes his emotional reaction to this very sermon (his "first sermon at Trinity") -- how it made "the story of a people" seem "black and more than black."'

3.) "Wright's sermon at Obama's very first service, highlighted in his book and his 3/18 speech as an epiphanic moment, was controversial and objectionable enough. And it didn't make him leave the church. It made him join the church."

4.) "... the "white folks greed" line and the Haiti reference do not appear in the seemingly official version of the sermon. But Obama has them in his book within quotation marks."

Add to all of this:

A.) Obama used the words "typical white person" in reference to his white grandmother.

Obama would never say "typical black person."

B.) Obama still didn't leave his church even after the anti-white, racist Louis Farrakhan was given a lifetime achievement award at Trinity United in 2007.

D.) The links below, it becomes clear that OBama stereotypes white people, and has racist tendencies.

“White folk’s greed”—well, I still think Wright looks a lot whiter than Obama. The first time I saw him on TV I thought he was a fat white guy acting black. And from the look of what he takes from his church, his million-dollar mansion among the White Golfing Folk—I guess Wright knows whereof he speaks.

Reverend Wright isn’t greedy though, he deserves his 2 million dollar home & 10 million dollar credit line. Wonder if he’s offered anyone from Port au Prince a room??

Is this the Reverend Obama didn't know?

white folks' greed

So, if Obama is only 25% black does that mean he's 75% greedy?

Obama knew exactly what he was getting with Rev. Wright.

OBama can say that he is being smeared all he wants, but he just doesn’t want it to be known that he is a racist and has hung around racists.

No food? Well I guess they need to be glad they were moved over to this better-hemisphere than reside in that old country hemisphere.

Lets see, how did that happen? They were sold into slavery (by their own kind) and brought here to the USA.

But they will complain about that one too!

Typical greedy white person.

a world where cruise ships throw away more food in a day than most residents of Port-a-Prince see in a year

The average chicken shack in the poorest US community throws away more food left uneaten by its poverty-stricken patrons in a day than the average resident of Port-au-Prince sees in a year.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Those cruise ships are owned by other countries..

I’m sure they can be shamed into sending the food to the good folks of Port-a-Prince ..

And, me, a greedy typical white person who is somebody’s grandmother..

I’m paying my taxes each year as fast as I can..

I pay for midnight basketball, and put sevaral illegal aliens through college...

And I dont throw away a ship load of food..

Anything else I should be doing ??????????

Yes, publicly begging for forgivness for being born white, kiss the boots of all democrat black leaders, and then donating all your money to a black reparations fund. Then, you must offer your service free of charge, to work in Barack Hussein Obama’s campaign. That may do it, although you may have to continue to kiss their boots every day for the rest of your life

Obama's Church: Gospel of Hate
Kathy Shaidle, FrontPageMag.com
Monday, April 07, 2008

In March of 2007, FOX News host Sean Hannity had engaged Obama’s pastor in a heated interview about his Church’s teachings. For many viewers, the ensuing shouting match was their first exposure to "Black Liberation Theology"...

Like the pro-communist Liberation Theology that swept Central America in the 1980s and was repeatedly condemned by Pope John Paul II, Black Liberation Theology combines warmed-over 1960s vintage Marxism with carefully distorted biblical passages. However, in contrast to traditional Marxism, it emphasizes race rather than class. The Christian notion of "salvation" in the afterlife is superseded by "liberation" on earth, courtesy of the establishment of a socialist utopia.

The Real Story Behind Rev. Wright's Controversial Black Liberation Theology Doctrine
Monday , May 5, 2008
FoxNews/Hannity's America
[special Friday night edition--original airdate May 2, 2008]

(some key excerpts)

JOSE DIAZ-BALART, TELEMUNDO NETWORK: "Liberation theology in Nicaragua in the mid-1980's was a pro-Sandinista, pro-Marxist, anti-U.S., anti-Catholic Church movement. That's it. No ifs, ands, or buts. His church apparently supported, in the mid-'80s in Nicaragua, groups that supported the Sandinista dictatorships and that were opposed to the Contras whose reason for being was calling for elections. That's all I know. I was there.

I saw the churches in Nicaragua that he spoke of, and the churches were churches that talked about the need for violent revolution and I remember clearly one of the major churches in Managua where the Jesus Christ on the altar was not Jesus Christ, he was a Sandinista soldier, and the priests talked about the corruption of the West, talked about the need for revolution everywhere, and talked about 'the evil empire' which was the United States of America."

REV. BOB SCHENCK, NATIONAL CLERGY COUNCIL: "it's based in Marxism. At the core of his [Wright's] theology is really an anti-Christian understanding of God, and as part of a long history of individuals who actually advocate using violence in overthrowing those they perceive to be oppressing them, even acts of murder have been defended by followers of liberation theology. That's very, very dangerous."

SCHENCK: "I was actually the only person escorted to Dr. Wright. He asked to see me, and I simply welcomed him to Washington, and then I said Dr. Wright, I want to bring you a warning: your embrace of Marxist liberation theology. It is contrary to the Gospel, and you need, sir, to abandon it. And at that he dropped the handshake and made it clear that he was not in the mood to dialogue on that point."

From the Louis Farrakhan/Nation of Islam website, Final Call...
Malik Zulu Shabazz, chairman of the New Black Panther Party for Self-Defense (NBPP):
"We are happy today to be standing side by side with the Nation of Islam. We believe, like the Nation of Islam and the Honorable Elijah Muhammad believe, in a nation of our own. We believe in a Black first philosophy and a Black Liberation Theology. We don’t worry about the criticism. We love all of those who labored in the Panther Party from the ’60s. Many are with us today."

From the article: REVOLUTIONARY HEROES

excerpt...

"On May 1st, May Day [1969], the day of the gigantic Free Huey rally, two of Alioto's top executioners vamped on the brothers from the Brown Community who were attending to their own affairs. These brothers, who are endowed with the revolutionary spirit of the Black Panther Party defended themselves from the racist pig gestapo.

Pig Joseph Brodnik received his just reward with a big hole in the chest. Pig Paul McGoran got his in the mouth which was not quite enough to off him.

The revolutionary brothers escaped the huge swarm of pigs with dogs, mace, tanks and helicopters, proving once again that "the spirit of the people is greater than the man's technology."

To these brothers the revolutionary people of racist America want to say, by your revolutionary deed you are heroes, and that you are always welcome to our camp."

Obama claims that he was never a muslim and has been a Christian and IS a committed Christian.

Since he said that it was Wright who brought him to Christ, what was he before that day? A non-active Christian? When did his observance lapse? Which of his parents or grandparents raised him as a Christian?

He claims his fathers were non-observant muslims and that the school paperwork identifying him as a muslim was in error.
