Obamas Rev. Wright

We have all heard a lot about Barack Obamaâ??s spiritual guide and mentor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Wright has a whole lot of respect for Black supremacist Louis Farrakhan and, as if thatâ??s not enough, he also has a past of anti-white rhetoric himself. In his preaches he regularly attacks white people, arguing that they continue to oppress African-Americans, and so on.

Now a new, and damning, video has appeared of Wrightâ??s last sermon (before he retired), in which he, once again, talked trash of whites and praised Barack Obama (and attacked Hillary Clinton several times). Hereâ??s the video (h/t):
WATCH THIS!!!:mad:

For those who are working today and canâ??t watch the video: heâ??s praising Obama for being a black man, from a single parent home, who knows how it is to be a poor black man â??living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people.â?�

He also compares white Americans to the Romans, who crucified Jesus - a black man according to the Reverend (which is most likely not true of course; Semitic, yes, black no; a man of color yes, a black man no. Unless the Reverend believes that Jews and Arabs are â??blacksâ?? of course).

Wright also said that he knows why people are criticizing Obama: heâ??s not white, nor rich enough. Heâ??s black. And poor.

Perhaps someone should tell Obama that, considering that he and his wife are Harvard graduates and have earned many millions of dollars in the last couple of years.

â??The Romans,â?� Wright said, â??were white people.â?� European people (he seems to refer to white Americans as Europeans).

And Hillary? Hillary is white and rich. As such, blacks canâ??t trust her.

He also has something nice to say about blacks who vote for Hillary Clinton: they make him sick.

There was a thread in here related to Obamas color. I find it completely ironic that EVERYBODY else has to denounce/fire people that make remarks about Obama/race but when his own Preacher does this shit it's o.k. in his book.

Hey Obama you hypocritical assclown, when you changing churches? :mad:

Have a good one!:s4:

"The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing God Bless America. No, no, no, God damn America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people," he said in a 2003 sermon which was aired by ABC television.

"God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme."

"Barack knows what it means living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people," Wright said. "Hillary would never know that." He went on: "Hillary ain't never been called a "N". Hillary has never had a people defined as a non-person."

"Hillary is married to Bill, and Bill has been good to us. No he ain't. Bill did us, just like he did Monica Lewinsky. He was riding dirty."

â??White America and the Western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just â??disappearedâ?? as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring black concerns.â?�

Wright has been a key supporter of Louis Farrakhan, and in December, honored the Nation of Islam leader for lifetime achievement, saying he â??truly epitomize[s] greatness.â?�

Farrakhan has repeatedly made hate-filled statements targeting Jews, whites, America, and homosexuals.

Michelle Obama said flatly, â??For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country, and not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change.â?�

Rev. Wright married Obama and his wife Michelle, baptized their two daughters and is credited by Obama for the title of his book, â??The Audacity of Hope.â?�


I can understand completely why the left wing Obama supporters don't reply on this.

So what does Obama have to say?

In a campaign appearance earlier this month, Sen. Obama said, â??I donâ??t think my church is actually particularly controversial.â?� He said Rev. Wright â??is like an old uncle who says things I donâ??t always agree with,â?� telling a Jewish group that everyone has someone like that in their family.

Real nice response....why is he the ONLY candidate that doesn't have to explain himself in this election?

"Bill Clinton pointed out that Rev. Jesse Jackson had won South Carolina in 1984 and 1988 -- campaigns that went nowhere."....How many times has she had to apologize about this?

Got some advice for the "white male non-vet" out there. IF he is elected, invest in K.Y., your going to need it!

ALSO, where the fuck is Al Sharpton with the Rev. Wrights use of the "N" word? OOOOPS...wasn't a white man saying it right?

Have a good one!:s4:

:bump2:
Come on....just one justification maybe? :S1:

Have a good one!:s4:

Ok, I shall respond for ya... I usually try to with your political threads, just missed this one..

First, I find it quite amusing that you only posted the first half of the "Two Extreme Pastors" article.. :D

Obama's pastor does sound a bit... off...

I don't know what he is talking about, the Gov giving out drugs (where? :stoned::stoned:) but he has a point regarding unequal treatment of minority groups (but not just African Americans) regarding drug laws. The rich white men get small fines or probation for coke use (and maybe a year or two at most for trafficking, if that) while the minorities (who are much lower income and thus cannot afford powdered coke) receive lengthy prison sentences, up to 5x longer than that of their counterparts, for the rock form of the substance. Also, drug law enforcement is rarely targeted in wealthy neighborhoods, and often dealt with much more leniently.

Is he just talking about just black citizens here? If he included poor people, veterans, homosexuals, non-violent criminals, and foreign countries in this statement, than I believe he would be right on the money. The U.S. does think it is entitled to some God given supremacy and treats many groups as less than human.

You can't argue with that one... the U.S. is definitely controlled by rich, white people... mostly from Washington.

Didn't Bill do ALOT to help minority groups, especially African Americans? There are still many African Americans that have strong ties to the Clinton family because of Bill's work and for the Rev to say that it makes it him sick when blacks vote for Hillary is not only misleading, but unethical as he is in a position that greatly influences many people.

Yea, Farrakhan is a fool. But we can't say "well because Obama knows a pastor and that pastor happens to like some old racist... .."

I saw this plantation house that had Confederate flags everywhere and almost as many Ron Paul signs in the yard a while back. It angered me that this guy may have been subconsciously influencing people to think Ron Paul was racist.. but that is a logical fallacy of association and hopefully people will not link Obama to the views of Farrakhan or even to his pastor.

There are many things one can disagree with their pastor about. Is it really enough to leave the church over? A lot of effort to find another church, keeping in mind that no church or pastor is going to be entirely in sync with every single person's opinion on every issue... unless they are all sheep. Perhaps Obama's wife does not want to leave the church... i.e. they arn't leaving.. lol

I think that is a valid statement, as long as she means the last part. I havn't met anyone yet who doesn't think this country needs change, regardless of party affiliation. The U.S. has done almost nothing in my life that I am proud of... but I will definitely be proud if positive change occurs.

My family is full of aunts, uncles, cousins etc that are uneducated bigots. I certainly do not agree with them on most things and I do not see them often. Nonetheless they are still associated with me as they are blood relatives. I would not be happy if I ran for pres and some fool brought up my family, accusing me of having similar beliefs.

What would you have preferred his answer to be? Bad mouthing his pastor in public is a little immature. And as I said, leaving the church over it may not be any better of an option.

Recently Hillary's adviser made controversial comments that some deemed racist... All she said was that she "didn't agree with all of those views"

And is McCain responsible for his pastor's opinions?

Why only non-vets? And I seriously hope you wern't talking about KY brand lube.... ewww

I can't imagine any one of the candidates that are/were running (with the exception of McCain and Thompson, they are only excluded because I am scared of such violent nature) that if elected, wouldn't improve this country from the current Bush mess... I do not like Romney, Huckabee, or Hillary, but they would all improve the U.S. to some extent.

Why is life going to be so bad for white males if Obama is elected? There is no way the first black president ever elected would ruin that honor by being openly racist to the largest racial group in the U.S.

peace :rastasmoke:

I agree with everything he said...but I contend the use of the "N" word under these circumstances. If the African American community yearns for "change" as the rest of America, PROVE IT!
Put down the word where it belongs and quit making society worse for the rest of us.

Melodious Fellow is right, our country is dominated by white supremacy and anyone who defies this fact is living in their own arrogance.

This is a waste of time.

:S2: AMAZING! This dude is an open bigot; Obamas church for over 20 years, Obama names a book after one of the bigots preachings and you can honestly defend his affiliation? After the way Clinton was raked over the coals for Bills comments in S.C.?

This isn't an uncle...it's his Reverend. I suppose if Clinton went to a church for 20 years that was headed by a KKK sympathizer that would be cool too? Just a CRAZY ol' uncle right? No reason at ALL to switch churches.

melodious fellow: I'll become bi-partisan when others in here do.:D

Have a good one!:s4:

"I categorically denounce any statement that disparages our great country or serves to divide us from our allies," Obama said. "I also believe that words that degrade individuals have no place in our public dialogue, whether it's on the campaign stump or in the pulpit. In sum, I reject outright the statements by Reverend Wright that are at issue."
Obama denounces pastor's 9/11 comments - Yahoo! News

LMAO.....this after the fine defense put up for him. Still though, it took him long enough to make this type of statement.:wtf:

Have a good one!:s4:

Obama is a radical who is a danger to the world. Clinton is all about the power & secret deals. McCain is a hardliner who wants to keep the status quo. We have no one to vote for. WHO & what forces are at work here? We are in deep dodo. Probably won't matter. Bush can start a war before his term ended & suspend elections to stay in power. What choice do we really have anyway. True democracy is dead in the USA. I love my country. I hate our government & the electorial system. Oh, almost forgot about the electorial college. They are the ones who really pick our presidents. Our votes are worthless. Maybe, that's why apathy rules when it comes to people in the know. I just hope Obama doesn't get in control of our thousands of nuclear weapons. Because, anyone who really believes what his spiritual guide is preaching is a bust. :mad:

He isnt so shiney and clean is he?

I don't always believe that the notions of ones friends are the notions of an individual.

I would also like to say I am happy with no candidate in either party at this time, so this election is going to be hard for me. My candidate had no chance, sigh.
