Why Are Reverend Wright Videos Disappearing from YouTube?
NR - Media ^ | March 17, 2008 | Greg Pollowitz

Posted on 03/17/2008 1:46:20 PM PDT by bahblahbah

I had a really good post all ready to go.  There was a video posted by the Trinity United Church of Christ, which I found on their YouTube page, of Louis Farrakhan being honored with the Jeremiah A. Wright Trumpeter awardIt's gone from YouTube.  And there was a video of disgraced Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick receiving a similar awardIt's gone from YouTube, too.

But the one I'm really mad about is the one of the church's new pastor, Otis Moss III, talking about gangster rap and crack cocaine.  They pulled that one, as well.  Maybe it had something to do with his blaming gangster rap on suburban white kids and big corporate media.  I didn't really follow his logic, but somehow Ronald Reagan and AOL were involved and there's a hint that the same people who created gangster rap also created crack cocaine.

Although the video is gone, this blogger has a partial transcript:

Moss, continuing on his historical review of hip-hop: "But then something happened in 1984 at the same time that Time Warner/AOL and SONY and MCA realized they could make money off of this music, guess what, we will give you a contract and distribute your song if you put in the N-word, if you put in the H-word, if you put in the B-word...so when we talk about gangsta rap, we are not talking about something that came from the street, we are talking about what came from the corporate boardrooms...

"And the same time that gangsta rap rises, we also have crack hitting the streets...I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but it's mightily strange that gangsta rap and crack hit the same time in our community."

I guess I'm just cherry-picking, right?

People are marking them as abusive or questionable content etc, so youtube embargos them until they can be “reviewed” and a decision made. At their leisure, of course.

Google-Youtube also used to censor Michele Malkin’s own video blogs citing them as “racist” and “adult only” content.

Yikes...between this an what Sweetness and Light had up today showing the morphing of the Trinity Church website from the black agenda to...something less racist, it looks as though damage control is WELL underway.

Of course this will make everything fine- we can pretend it never happened.

Greg should send his complaints to Hellary’s campain staffers.

They will pull the necessary strings to ensure Obama is sufficiently slammed.

After all - not one ounce of dirt is thrown on Obama without the full knowledge and support of Hillary ‘08.

re: so when we talk about gangsta rap, we are not talking about something that came from the street, we are talking about what came from the corporate boardrooms...

But I have been told that when white people object to rap music it is an indication of their racism and a demonstration of their lack of understanding of the Black community.

They certainly can be captured and preserved, but we need someplace besides the ultra-leftist you-tubers to host them. The guy who put together you-tube might not have been a genius, but he struck gold.

The prize goes to the guy who can put together a you-tube site that isn’t completely toxic to thinking humans...

...as if they can take back everything that screwball of a ‘pastor’ has said! Sorry, Trinity church, the cat is out of the bag and Obama has been shown for what he is. You don’t associate for twenty years with someone unless you feel a bond with that person. As I’ve said before on this, birds of a feather flock together. Obama and Wright are obviously two peas in a pod.

Wow, imagine what these people will do when they get in power.

I can see it now: "The First Amendment guarantees free speech equally to all people. But some people are more less equal than others, and therefore, they are allowed additional protections by the First Amendment so we're going to make it illegal for you to speak unless you are saying what we want to hear."

So I just checked and Pastor Manning’s anti Obama rants are still up. This guy is as much of a racist as Rev. Wright, but not affiliated with Obama, (he doesn’t like Obama because he has a “white mama”)...but IMHO he’s really ranting against Obama because Manning is a Clinton supporter. Point being, Manning’s videos are as offensive as Wright’s yet they’re still on youtube.

From The Corner

Durbin’s New Defense of Obama on the Wright Issue [Byron York]

The Obama campaign has just wrapped up a conference call with reporters. On the call, top Obama supporter Sen. Dick Durbin claimed that “many” of the controversial statements made by Rev. Jeremiah Wright were made before Barack Obama joined Trinity United Church of Christ. “Many of the quotes that have been disclosed publicly were made by Reverend Wright at a time before Barack Obama became part of his congregation and in places where Barack Obama was not even present,” Durbin said. Later, asked about fallout from the Wright affair among Democrats, Durbin said, “Let me just say that the people I have spoken to understand, as I hope we all do, that to hold Sen. Obama accountable for speeches and sermons that were given before he joined the church is fundamentally unfair.”

To my knowledge, Wright’s statements “God damn America,” “America’s-chickens-are-coming-home-to-roost,” and “U.S. of KKK A” were made while Obama was part of the Trinity congregation, although the senator says he was not present in church for any of them. I don’t believe Obama has claimed that they were made before he joined the church, and I’m not sure why Durbin is using that argument now.

The Obama campaign quickly ended the call after the second Wright question.

Can’t get Paul Shanklin’s parody played on Rush today, “Jeremiah Was My Pastor” sung to “Joy to the World” (Jeremiah was a Bullfrog version). There are
probably Rush copyright issues, but did anyone capture the
lyrics? It was hilarious. Chorus: “Reverend Wright was Wrong”

And of course, the white man in the blue shirt rode the green bicycle through the red light,

and the San Diego Padres (the name is obviously a slur on Brown People of Color) and the Washington Redskins (the name is obviously a slur on Red People of Color) lost the World Series and the Super Bowl respectively, after both teams had allowed Black men to lose to teams with White men on them, obviously to further degrade Black men everywhere!

ALL IN THAT SAME YEAR, 1984 !!!!!

That proves it, doesn't it ?

Great!

Most conservatives have thick skins and can put up with the crap we receive at you-tube, but it would be outstanding to be able to present vids that reflect conservative values without being subjected to their spurious and arbitrary control over what gets shown.

A lot of conservative folks are currently going to Newsmax.com, Newsbusters.com, and Breitbart.com to view videos (in addition to Michelle Malkins site and others). FreeRepublic.com would be a natural for this.

Thanks,

From Dreams of My Father, “ I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASISVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE”. Barack Hussein Obama

From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “The emotion between the races could never be pure, even love was tarnished by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves. Whether we sought out our demons or salvation, the other race (WHITE) would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart.” Barack Hussein Obama

From Dreams Of My Father: “That hate hadn’t gone away,” he wrote, BLAMING “WHITE PEOPLE — some CRUEL, some IGNORANT, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.” Barack Hussein Obama

From ‘Dreams Of My Father’, “There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,” he wrote. “It remained necessary to prove which side you were on,to show your LOYALTY TO THE BLACK MASSES, TO STRIKE OUT and name names” Barack Hussein Obama

The DBM are thankful for Bear Stearns. Now they can flood the news cycle with that, and Hussein can cover his tracks.

cherry-picking

I just went to YouTube and it seem to me that there were lots of Wright videos there. I'd be interested to know where all these videos came from in the first place; and also are there any Wright videos which might be described as benign?
