Rev. Wright: Civil Rights Movement About 'Becoming White'
fox ^ | 6/28/10 | staff

Posted on 06/28/2010 12:10:55 PM PDT by Nachum

Rev. Jeremiah Wright unleashed a slew of racially charged proclamations at a seminar in Chicago last week, reportedly comparing the United States with apartheid South Africa and claiming the civil rights movement was about "becoming white."

The comments were reported by the New York Post, which provided details about a five-day class President Obama's former pastor taught at the Chicago Theological Seminary.

In the seminar, Wright reportedly told those in the class they will never "be a brother to white folk," describing racial divisions in the country as entrenched -- as he did as pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ.

So, why did the good Rev move into a mansion in a white neighborhood?

People like Wright don’t WANT to see see racism go. It will deprive them of their power - they live off victimhood.

That said, Wright doesn’t have to worry. Obama has made sure racism will be around for a hundred years.

If he had governed logically, from the center, it could have been the death knell of racism and people like Wright. But there are lots of people out their that will remember Obama with a shudder and never, ever, vote for a black man again.

So he can throw stones at little white children while they’re waiting for the school bus.

Whites are becoming the new Jews, a perfectly legitimate target for blacks. I wonder, if these idiots realize that Asians and Hispanics don’t really like them either because of how blacks target them.

keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the 
Negro race before the public. Some of these people do not want
the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to 
lose their jobs. There is a certain class of race-problem 
solvers who don't want the patient to get well."

Exactly. I wonder if whether or not people will even vote for them as senators. But, this was not the fault of whites, we didn’t tell Obama to run this country into the ground.

For the Rev. Wright the civil rights movement is all about him “becoming rich”.

Who in their right mind would want to be white, these days?

I’d like to start with an apology to all the incredible black American patriots on this site and in this country, because what I’m about to say is blunt and not very nice, however it is true:
Find a place on the planet where Whites or European ideas are not in charge,and you will find a $h*thole...

IIRC, his “church” gave him a $10M mansion in a gated community on a golf course as a retirement gift. Marxism sure does provide a wealthy lifestyle for the upper end of the party.

wright taught a class at a Theological Seminary?? That’s a good one. My guess is he will understand theology when he asks dead red kennedy (RAT-Hell) and sheets byrd (RAT-Hell) for a glass of water.
