Rev. Wright Calls Sermon Flap an "Attack on the Black Church"

WASHINGTON--Sen. Barack Obama’s former pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, called the month-long debate over portions of his past sermons an attack on the black church Monday and repeatedly accused the media of taking his words out of context.

On whether his public appearances – including one Sunday night at which Wright mocked the voices of Presidents John F. Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson – were hurting Obama’s presidential candidacy, Wright appeared unconcerned with his political impact.

And referring to the U.S. government, he said, blacks are still owed an apology for slavery, and said he’s told Obama, if he’s elected November 5, “I’m coming after you.”

360,000 dead white men and 275,000 wounded white men is more than enough apology. It is he, Wright, who owes the families of those men an apology for profaning and shaming their life's blood from so long ago.

Wright is a hate-filled, bigoted, race-bating, anti-American marxist parading around in a preacher's robe, who teaches an absolute perversion of Christianity where the Truth of God is turned into an abject and absolute lie.

...and that is the well that Obama has been drinking deeply of for over 20 years.

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - OBAMA'S CIRCLE OF FRIENDS AND SUPPORT


Communist Party Members, Marxists, Communist Leaders, Marxist Leaders, Communist Party USA


Domestic bombers & terrorists, International Islamic Terrorist Organizations & Financiers, Fundamental Islamic Leaders


Black Liberation Preachers and militants, New Black Panther Party, Black Nation of Islam, Socialist Party

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY AND OBAMA'S CHURCH


"Not God Bless America, no, no, no, God Damn America!" "911 is America's chickens coming home to roost"


"AIDS was created by the US for black geneocide," "If God is not for us & against whites, then he is a murderer, and we'd best kill him."

"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community ... Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love."



THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - OBAMA'S LACK OF PATRIOTISM TOWARD THE FLAG



THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH - OBAMA'S IDEOLOGY ON DISPLAY




Che Guevara was a radical, murderous Marxist revolutionary in Argentina, Cuba, and Bolivia. He became Fidel Castro's executioner.
Why, then, is his picture proudly diplayed at Obama election Headquarters? What change does Obama intend. What is his hope?

I don't owe the blacks anything. My mom and dad arrived here in the early '80s.

A nation would be grateful if the Most Irreverend Race-baiter Wright can shut his pie hole and stop opening and reopening old wounds (and even rubbing salt into them).

I saw the “press Conference.” I couldn't believe that he was making these outrageous statements, basically calling all white people racists and accusing them of attempted genocide. And he got applause from the audience. Now ask yourself “Who made up the audience members?”
Journalists! They applauded him, they cheered him on, they threw softball questions to him (more like t-ball) and they even finished his sentences. I was appalled.

I guess you can be a good Christian only if you deny the truth of Christianity. Which is the message behind black theology.

"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus

They applauded because they believe everything that comes out of Wrights mouth. I`m surprised they did`nt hoist Wright on their shoulders.

Maybe he believes Obama isn`t authentic enough.

I agree. It would be wrong to smear all black churhes because of what Wright says.

From the look of skin color, I’d say “Rev” Wright has more whitey in him than O’bama.

"blacks are still owed an apology for slavery...."

Was it still whitey's oppression and slavery that is the reason that more than 3 of 4 black kids are born illegitimate? Or the fact that the black prison population is several times the percentage of the general population? Of that more black kids are dropping out of school now than ever before?

You want an apology? Apologize to yourselves for taking your race and dipping it in $hit. And never forget that when you point your finger at someone you have three more pointing back at you.

ditto-what you said. Perhaps he should demand an apology from his black brethren who sold them to the evil white man.

They’ll never consider that...they don’t have any money, and they are not standing in the way of their marxist fantasy.

What a laugh! What a stretch! Black churches all over America are rushing out already *today*, to say that Wright doesn’t represent or speak folr *them*!

Man! *That* came from left field. I certainly did not see this/him as a representative of any other black church, other than his own, and possibly the two others that feted him after his clips were released. And I haven’t heard of anyone else painting all black churches with Wrights hate speech.

There’s an old joke that says “If I’d known then what I know now, I’d have picked my own cotton.”

Not funny now that I’m grown and see the problems of this great nation.

Somebody needs to explain to the Reverend Wright that it is not “The Black Church.” It is God’s Church.
“The Black Church” is blasphemous.
