Speaking at the 100th anniversary of a Washington, D.C. church, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright knocked President Barack Obama and accused Americas elite academic institutions of instilling racism.
Wright opened up his sermon at the Florida Avenue Baptist Church Sunday by reading from the Book of Isaiah and speaking of the importance of foundational stones. Using that as a metaphor, Wright proceeded to list dozens of names that he suggested were foundational stones for the black community, from Nat Turner to Emmett Till to W.E.B Du Bois.
He then seemingly took a shot at his former parishioner, President Obama.
They are the foundation, he said of the names he listed. These stones of memory shall serve as a sign among you so that in the future when your children, who only know Oprah and Obama, when our children who speak the language of Nas, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne (Weezy) and Ludacris. When your children ask you who are these people and what do these stones mean, these stones mean, you can tell them what it is that God did to get us from where we were to where we are.
This is how God brought us out, he continued. This is how God brought us over, this is how God brought us through.
Notably absent from Wrights list of names was the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.
Wright later went on to suggest that Americas elite universities infect African Americans with white racist DNA.

He’s making a point that blacks are as inculcated with cultural muck as whites.
It’s just the Chicago plan that Axelrod has cooking.
“Anyone celebrating 9/11 is an enemy of America and the American people.”
As well as a crap example of the human species.
Good cop Bad cop routine. Don’t buy it for a second. All planned by Chicago.
Not surprising the self-proclaimed Marxist (Wright) mentioned Du Bois.
Du Bois was a big time communist - never heard of the other two.
Don’t tell me. Jerry is PO’d at Barry because all white taxpayers aren’t in concentration camps yet.
WHAT ???
He didnt mention Booker T Washington or Fredrick Douglass ??? (Silly Nana That Booker T made those poor students WORK and make bricks and build their own classrooms)
George Washington Carver and his 300 uses for the common peanut ??? (Silly Nana he would have to admit that Carver said God inspired him in prayer out in the woods)
Harriet Tubman of the Underground Railroad ???

Take a baby born an African, as an African in the oven, he said, using Malcolm Xs saying just because a cat has kittens in the oven, that doesnt make them biscuits as a reference point for his riff.,p> Take that baby him or her away from the African mother, away from the African community, away from the African experience and put them Africans at the breasts of Yale, Harvard, University of Chicago, those trinity schools, UCLA or U.C. Berkley. Turn them into biscuits then theyll get that alien DNA all up inside their brain and they will turn on their own people in defense of the ones who are keeping their own people under oppression.
There is white racist DNA running through the synapses of their under-brain tissue, he continued.
They will kill their own kind, defend the enemies of their kind or anyone who is perceived to be the enemy of the milky white way of life.
The Reverend Wright is making about as much sense as Calypso Louie.
Or as Obama's economic advisers.
I guess Christ, the new testament, the apostles and the church are only white people foundation stones.
Dissing The Won! He and Oprah are only pebbles at best in their rabble of “building stones”!
Racist snake oil is all his he peddling. And why not, it got him a million dollar crib!
I was thinking of the same HEROS of the Black culture, Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington and George Washington Carver, Harriet Tubman. All of them had true strength. The blacks of America would have done better to set their compass and sights on the goals that these had rather than on DeBois, who abandoned America and died a Communist in Ghana.
Some great quotes from Booker T. Washington:
No greater injury can be done to any youth than to let him feel that because he belongs to this or that race he will be advanced in life regardless of his own merits or efforts.

Obama’s race card is overdrawn and will accept no more charges. So now they are issuing him a pity card to go with his, “I’ve tried real hard” whine.
I guess the Reverend thinks the little boys and girls who speak the language of the streets, who are isolated from anything outside the ghetto, will grow up and become leaders of society. Just what values does the Reverend think are important? Gangsta rap?
I celebrate 9/11
9/11/1985 first day of basic training.
