The Washington Times recently reported that "the church where Sen. Barack Obama has worshipped for two decades publicly declares that its ministry is founded on a 1960s book that espouses ‘the destruction of the white enemy.’ Trinity United Church of Christ’s Web site says its teachings are based on the black liberation theology of James H. Cone and his 1969 book ‘Black Theology and Black Power.’ …Conrad Worrill, a leader of the Chicago-based National Black United Front, said…’I think most black people would agree that what Jeremiah Wright said is the truth.’"
It sure is ironic, then, that a parishioner of such a church, with the full backing of the church, would be seeking to inhabit the White House.
Or not.
After all, it’s part of a widely noticed but not often spoken of pattern among black Americans. Starting with soda, for example. Most white people drink Coke or Pepsi -- the dark sodas, in other words. But black people consistently prefer Sprite. That is, the clear or ‘white’ soda. ‘Sprite’ even rhymes with ‘white’.

Bad part about this is, McCain really can’t go after this because it will appear he’s bringing race into the debate...even if it’s to expose bigotry on the part of his opponent.
That may be the big draw for the dhimicrat powers. Knowing that they can use the race card to deflect many barbs, they will run a candidate that, otherwise, would be totally unacceptable to the American people
Is this woman channeling Jeremiah Wright? Does she realize how racist this article is? Is this a scrappleface article? This is about as disgusting as Wright’s left-brain, right-brain theories.
“’I think most black people would agree that what Jeremiah Wright said is the truth.’”
I think most white people would agree that Jeremiah Wright is a race baiting, bigoted, and dangerous fool.
We, as a country, will never be able to get past the “race issue” as long as people like him are out there spewing their particular brand of hatred.
I don’t think the article is racist. If it were written by a black person and in the opposite direction it would be fine, so this is likewise fine.
“Bad part about this is, McCain really can’t go after this because it will appear he’s bringing race into the debate...even if it’s to expose bigotry on the part of his opponent.”
I agree. But, it should be exposed. What if a black conservative politician brought this out - would that be good?
