THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST
JEREMIAH WRIGHT RETURNS
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) is drawing criticism for selecting President Barrack Obama’s former pastor as the principal speaker at an awards dinner in Maryland.
Perry Ealim, a black businessman who is scheduled to receive an award at the November 20 event, says many of his friends and associates refuse to attend the dinner because Rev. Jeremiah Wright is going to be the speaker.
"I am happy for your honor, however, I cannot support an organization that would have a racist/bigot such as Mr. Wright as (its) speaker," one of Mr. Ealim's friends wrote to him.
But a member of the Anne Arundel County chapter of the NAACP, which is hosting the dinner, says that Mr. Wright is widely respected in the black community and that his appearance at the podium is certain to make the event a success.
“The man’s an icon to many of us,” the spokesman said.
The Rev. Wright is the former minister of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago where Mr. and Mrs. Obama were longtime members.
In the wake of 9/11, Mr. Wright proclaimed from the pulpit:
"We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye... and now we are indignant, because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought back into our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost."

NAACP proving they are a bigoted and race hustling organisation
This will be popcorn worthy. He is a narcissist. He will not be able to help himself in saying something that will come back to haunt him, and anyone associated with him, and there are MANY people associated with him.
Well, let them continue their downwards spiral. It stopped being a civil rights organization the minute people had to confer with them before making stuff like “Carmen” and other films as pertains to blacks. Same with requiring our elected officials to be on good terms with them.
First....I am glad to see people like Perry Elam refuse to attend this event with Rev Wright...
The NAACP has now jumped the Racism Shrak with inviting Rev Wright. Wright is an outright racist....its like the NAACP should now be called the NAA Klux Klan
Aholes like him are why the klan is growing again!
Mr. Ealim has once in a lifetime opportunity to make a very strong statement here....why not stay home?
This should really help things in general. Hearing the healing words from the good Pastor Wright will certainly calm the waters of discontent. And what better venue to speak those words than an organization committed to the equality and equal treatment of all God’s children. I sincerely hope both Wright and the NAACP can join hands and rededicate themselves to the cause of civility, high personal standards, and the golden rule which have long been associated with their words and deeds.
Is barry going to attend?
Notice that this idiot never addresses the fact that we were attacked by Japan at Pearl Harbor. Bunch of fools.
Sounds like a perfect match to me. They ALL hate crackas.
Thank you, NAALCP for keeping this guy in the news.
And there ya go. If any self-respecting member or that organization remains, this should be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. How can anyone in their right mind align themselves with such hatred?
dude: you’re awesome!
He is perfectly capable of peeing all over the NAACP, its banquet and all who attend. This is could be a multiple-servings-of-popcorn event.
“Thank you, NAALCP for keeping this guy in the news”
Must be a cultural thing with colored people.
