Have you noticed something missing in this Wright fiasco? When he fulminates that his theology is “Black Theology” and all black churches preach hate this way, there was not a single peep in the media from Black Baptist pastors in the US objecting to his assertion.

Just as we often ask where the moderate Muslims are, who fail to confront the jihadis, we need to ask where the Black ministers are who are not objecting to Wright’s claim that his preaching reflects the Black version of Christianity.

One wonders if they are afraid of offending their members, seeing attendance and contributions decrease, because the Black pastors live very well indeed. Just what is their message to their own congregations? Would the Prince of Peace be welcome in any Black church in America?

Yes.

There is no media attention whatever on black preachers who don’t indulge in hate speech like Wright.

And there are a great many rational, truly Christian black ministers who speak on the Gospel and make good sense. They are being ignored by the media.
This is a media crime.

Among many other crimes.

As well as ignoring Thomas Sowell and others.

Would not just one columnist comment on this? Just one?

Also notice the expected “any attack on me is racism” first refuge of scoundrels of color.

“Would the Prince of Peace be welcome in any Black church in America?”

Not if He were perceived as “Whitey” or didn’t cater to Black Victimhood Theology.

I have, but I've also noticed no clergy has been questioning the tenets of what he seems to assert is a distinct denomination, believing that Jesus was a black persecuted by white "garlic nose" Italians.

The issue of Liberation Theology really hasn't been explored yet, in the context of Obama as a practitioner. Nor has it's, and Obama's connections to Marxism. Remember his political mentor was Frank (Davis-last name left out of his book), a poet and Chicago political organizer who moved to Hawaii, where Obama met him. Also an admitted member of the American Communist Party. And Obama followed in his footsteps. Consider why someone from Indonesia and Hawaii, who went to school in California and NYC, ends up as a political activist in Chicago. My guess Davis was the connection.

That’s the part that really gets me. I’ve read that since Wright’s takeover in the early seventies, Trinity United Church of Christ has been considered on the far-out fringe of radical black churches, disdained by most pastors. Now suddenly, Wright is the Pope of Black America, acclaimed by all his peers. Now he speaks for the Black Christendom and his crazed, hateful, paranoid attitudes are those of Black America.

Obama notwithstanding, that is the really destructive thing to come out of this imbroglio. There is going to be a price for that. The self-marginalization of african-americans will be complete. “Why cater to these people anymore? They’re just plain nuts!” will be the attitude from here on.

I found that there was one major telling comment in Mr. Wright's speech (I believe it was in Detroit before the NAACP). He was saying something about Louis Farrikan not “being my enemy. He didn't make me a slave. He didn't make me black.” My head just about exploded at that point. So...o, let me get this straight. Am I correct to infer that an “enemy” would make you “black”?????

I really hate it when people pick other people's words apart. Again, he may have been “caught up in the moment,” but that was the Daddy of all Freudian slips in my untrained, humble opinion.

Would that be why the Reverend Mr. Wright is building a home in an all-white suburb of Chicago, on the grounds of an exclusive golf course, away from the reminders of who he had to milk in order to get away from his “blackness”??? How the poor souls who sat in his pews every Sunday (the majority of whom were black) could not see through this sham of a shepherd who fed them lies and victimhood on a regular basis to not lift them up, but rather to make a buck on race-baiting is so far my ability to remain silent on the issue as it is to fly to the moon without the aid of a rocket. The programs he administered were also laced with the poison of divisiveness and bitterness.

I don't care how much money Mr. Wright has taken in and dispensed, he can never get away from his blackness and it isn't anyone's fault who is presently on the face of the earth. His ancestors gave him his blackness and there is no shame in that. What is shameful is that he feels it was an enemy who made him black — would that be European Whites???? I think not.
