Rev. Wright : U.S. 'land of greed and home of slave'
WorldNetDaily ^ | November 01, 2009 | Jerome R. Corsi

Posted on 11/02/2009 6:10:17 PM PST by RobinMasters

A new video has surfaced of Rev. Jeremiah Wright's speech at the 60th anniversary celebration of the independent socialist magazine, the Monthly Review, in which his antagonsim for the United States is on display.

In the New York City speech Sept. 17, 2009, Wright, President Barack Obama's pastor for about 20 years, once again reveals his disdain and lack of respect for the United States of America as he identified his belief in black-liberation theology with the Marxist ideology that is central to the Monthly Review.

Calling the United States, "the land of the greed and the home of the slave," Wright's antipathy to the United States was clear from how he described his personal history.

"My background consists of childhood experiences in racist America; teenage years in a segregated country that has never apologized for slavery; college years which were molded in the cauldron of the sit-ins in Richmond, Va., the capital of the Confederacy; six years in the military which showed me the inside and the underside of the beast Martin Luther King called 'the Number One purveyor of violence on the planet,'" Wright said as began to explain his "social location" to the audience.

Let us not forget that the first legal slave owner in this country was a black man.

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/secret/famous/johnson.html

(from the article)”What makes Anthony Johnson a central figure in the debate is an utterly bizarre and “politically incorrect” twist of fate. From evidence found in the earliest legal documents extant, it is Anthony Johnson who we now must recognize as the nation’s first slaveholder. After all, the court battle he eventually won in 1655 to keep John Casor (Ceasar?) as his servant for life, identifies this unfortunate soul as the first slave in the recorded history of our country.”

Are these people greedy to want it all and for us to give it to them, no matter what the hardship to us (higher taxes, lost jobs, bankrupt US economy)? Are they greedy to expect cash in hand from this administration illustrated time after time (voter perception lingers)?

Turnabout being fair play to the Marxists on payroll in this administration, is reversal of who is the slave the precise goal?

I’m curious. What kind of personal fortune does this guy have? I’d be willing to bet he gets a nice chunk of change from ACORN and its satellites.

I doubt he’s taken the vow of poverty.

Wow, what’s the odds of that?

Several Democrat congresses have "apologized for slavery".

They were warned no one would pay attention and it seems they were correct.

Unfortunately, the Reverend may be right: We might just be the land where greedy bums unwilling to support themselves are trying as hard as they can to live off the taxes paid by the slaves who support themselves by earning a taxable income.

And he's here making money off of the US and its guilt.

Sounds like rev. has "mastered" greed and his sermons keep people with similar pigment perpetual slaves of government programs and people like him, Jackson and Sharpton and the politicians who continue to play them. Here's a chunk of sermon for you rev:

You do your country wrong and your people dirty. Wise up or you will Burn in hell, you evil bastid. May your teachings...come home...to roost.

"How many square feet is your newly built home you (expletive) POS

BY KRISTEN SCHORSCH SouthtownStar

Trinity United Church of Christ is building Barack Obama's controversial former pastor a million-dollar Tinley Park home complete with an elevator, whirlpool, butler's pantry, circular driveway and four-car garage, building plans show.

The four-bedroom home being built for the Rev. Jeremiah Wright is in the Odyssey Club neighborhood, which boasts some of Tinley Park's largest homes and a mix of town homes. It backs up to the Odyssey Country Club and golf course.

Construction continues on the $1 million Tinley Park home Rev. Jeremiah Wright will move into after having it purchased by Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. (Joseph P. Meier/STNG) "I think it's where people kind of decide to get away from things," Tinley Park Trustee Greg Hannon said.

The mansion under construction is estimated to cost $1 million, a building permit shows. It will also feature a large family room with a fireplace and bar, a rubberized exercise room and a spare room for a future theater or swimming pool, building plans show.

Trinity United Church of Christ, 400 W. 95th Street, Chicago, is listed as the landowner on the permit.

The Rev.Wright has not a word for the hundreds
of thousands of Americans who died to set his
ancestors free, the ingrate.

Liberation theology? Is that what they are calling
Islam nowadays?

When he retired he moved out of Chicago’s south side - and into a McMansion in a white neighborhood.

No worries. He disowned the pastor. So, it is a done deal. Obama does not believe in anything this radical racist pastor said or believes. Those 20 years, Obama never heard a thing like this out of this pastor’s mouth. </s>

Wright needs to tell us all which country he thinks is better than the U.S., then renounce his citizenship and move there.

I sure don’t want anyone in America that thinks it’s a bad country. This ain’t Cuba and we don’t force people to stay. Heck, I’ll even chip in for his plane ticket. Buh-bye Reverend Wright. GTFO of my country!

Oh yes. Reverand Wright is indeed a nationalist socialist black power punk.

If Wright had his way, the nation would have all white people entered into second class citizenship and slavery , as a matter of historic justice, the calling card of every modern fascist of the 20th Century, including pretend president Obama, Wrights #1 parishioner.

And a pox on them both.

Thanks!

I also noticed the car wasn’t a Mercedes, but liked the ‘toon so much that I saved it to “share”.

I would have guessed the car to be very close to a Corvette in style. Thanks for the info on the Koenigsegg CCX !!

Wright and the entire afro whiner squad uses white guilt to their advantage. The louder they cry and whine, the more they take home and keep. The louder they spew, the more they are recognized.

The MO is kvetching to the max. When whitey wakes up it may be too late.

Chinese were brought here to slave away on our railroads.
The Japanese-Americans were interned during WW2
Millions came here as indentured servants
I don’t hear them complaining

Slavery ended 45 years before any of my people arrived in America
For Blacks to blame their present problems on slavery is total BS but it has gotten them plenty of handouts and affirmative action and Great Society programs so why would they ever give it up? An honest person would but this is not what you are dealing with
With all the free education and countless other social programs open to blacks any problems they have are their own fault. Last fall NYC handed out $200 to any parent for school supplies for their children. Instead it was blown on TVs, fancy Nike shoes and other consumer items

The slaves in this land are the ones on the Democratic plantation. They are enslaved in their minds and hearts. They are exploited for profit by their power hungry slave masters the Democratic elite.

I wonder how very much better off our black brothers and sisters would be if they could stop seeing themselves as victims.

Well the ballot box gets used first, and if the Obama Junta pulls their voter fraud act, you can bet that America will rise. Of that I am sure.

These guys have no idea what they may yet unleash, for freedom will not be relinquished in this country. They will have to kill millions of us. I do not think they have the stomach for it. Those who value freedom and the constitution do.

The clock starts ticking when it finally dawns that the ballot box is history. The constitutionalists will always fight for liberty.

Disruption of gasoline, electricity and communications due to any long term disaster will cause immense destruction.

The democrat secretaries of state are the key. It's too late to remove them for the 2010 election cycle. Voter rolls need to be purged and voter ID needs to be airtight.

This is their default strategy - a childish go for broke whine that is amplified by the media.

Now that they have intimidated the adults into letting them have their way the house may burn down. The electorate has undergone a lifetime of propaganda conditioning by the left and can't think for themselves.

Yes, we need voter ID now more than we ever did before. In Vermont they might use drivers licenses, and a computer check, but they drag their feet. Motor voter is not popular with the idiot dems that run the state, even though its easty enough to impliment.
