Is Mr. Wright Wrong?



Is it wrong for Jeremiah Wright as Pastor of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago to say from the pulpit:

“God, damn America!”

“God should not bless America, but curse it!”

America is the KKK!”

“The United States secretly developed the AIDS virus to kill young black people.”

“The United States imported drugs to destroy young black people.”

“The United States supports Zionism shamelessly while ignoring Palestine.”

“9-11 was an inside job.”

Is it wrong for Pastor, Jeremiah Wright to preach anti-white rhetoric from his Chicago church pulpit?

Or is it wrong for Pastor, Jeremiah Wright to endorse Barack Obama while making sexually explicit, denigrating references to Bill and Hillary Clinton from his Chicago church pulpit?

Is it wrong for Pastor, Jeremiah Wright to tell his congregation of over 8,000 people that the United States is a racist society?

Is it wrong for Pastor Jeremiah Wright to preach hate for white people, to perpetuate angry feelings between the black and white communities?

Presidential candidate, Mr. Obama has described Mr. Wright as his "sounding board" during the two decades he has known him. Mr. Obama has said he found religion through the minister in the 1980s. He joined the church in 1991 and walked down the aisle in a formal commitment of faith.

It would be impossible to determine the ripple effect from the 8,000+ parishioners of the church as they repeated and accepted Wright’s statements as truth. If each person told two people who told two people, and so on, the damaging effects from Wright’s hate speech and skewed, revisionist version of history would calculate to be catastrophic. Wright’s factitious preaching over the decades may have single handedly done more damage to America from within by poisoning the minds of impressionable people against Caucasians and the government in general than drugs and AIDS combined.

Wright has single-handedly mitigated the good intensions of noble Americans who have worked tirelessly to embrace, support and help the black communities. Geraldine Ferraro was criticized for factually stating that Barack Obama has been well supported by the black community who might not have supported him if he were another ethnicity. Obama’s campaign wasted no time in calling her statement, racially insensitive. Come on. It is time to get real. Racism is a business which would fail if it were not kept alive by the men and women who benefit the most from it.

Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Jeremiah Wright need to keep racism alive because without it they, and countless others like them, would be out of business.

If Obama wants to lean on his Christian faith, and on the man who has been his inspiration and sounding board to take the spotlight off of his Muslim early education, then he needs to stand and be accountable for the bitter, hate inspired, anti-white speechifying. He needs to convey how he could have been a friend and student under Wright for over two decades and not share the same values and ideas.

Doesn’t it seem a bit convenient that Obama forged a friendship with Wright over 20 years ago, a man who hates America and what it stands for, and more recently forged a relationship with the billionaire, America hater, George Soros? How can Barack Hussein Obama expect any reasonable person to believe that he is not influenced by the men who have given him his start, his inspiration and the financial foundation to seek the highest office in the land?
