Civil Rights “Always about Becoming White,”

Sez Jeremiah Wright

It’s a real shame that the mainstream media has continually refused to do simple “fact checks” on the jet-stream of lies spouting from Barack Obama’s lips. Being raised by a radical mother might have contributed something to that, but apparently, Obama learned a lot at Jeremiah Wright’s knee. The pattern he’s shown in the last seventeen months is always the same (nothing about real government and real leadership, but rather) a continual campaign-mode attack upon his opponents’ perceived motives as stated by Obama (and NO actual discussion of issues with facts ever). Wright himself has been attacking the “White establishment” for at least twenty-five years which wouldn’t be that bad (there are problems), but like Obama, he just comes up with attacks on motives never with facts relevant to any purported issues involved.

A couple days after Reverend Jeremiah Wright first came to the attention of most Americans by preaching, “. . . not ‘God Bless America’ but God Damn America,” Barack Obama said he’d never heard anything objectionable from Wright during the twenty years he attended Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ. After ten days heat from the media, Obama denounced Wright for his “inflammatory rhetoric.” Eventually, Obama left Wright’s church to still the outcry. Strange that Obama hadn’t heard anything “nasty” from Wright before . . . because since then Wright’s been making headlines for the same old crap roughly every 20-25 days.

For Ol’ Rajjpuut, who believes that the worst racism in this country comes in from those calling everybody else racist (only 5% of the Black voters voted for McCain, for example, while Obama got almost 48% of the White vote which is more than either Gore or Kerry received) the Reverend Wright’s latest outrages seem to back up Rajjpuut’s thinking . . . . one wonders if this wouldn’t be a great time for Barack Obama to again distance himself from Wright and to GASP! actually criticize Black racism. Now wouldn’t that be something?

A. At a recent Chicago seminar, Wright claimed that there was little real difference in race issues between the United States today and South Africa during its apartheid years.

B. Claimed that the civil rights movement was a joke whose only purpose was to help Black people in “becoming White.”

C. Told his seminar audience, “you will NEVER be a brother to white folk,” because racial divisions in this country are forever too deeply entrenched. Rajjpuut wonders who might be doing the entrenching, eh?

D. Added that “White folk done took this country, you’re in their home and they’re always gonna let you know up about it.” He said this control over blacks was created by a poorly designed American education system that was “by malignant intent” not educating Black students.

E. Most incredibly of all, Wright assailed the Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr. for advocating nonviolence. “We probably have more African-Americans who’ve been brainwashed than there were brainwashed South Africans,” Wright said. Think about that . . . Wright is now comparing nonviolence in South Africa as advocated by both Mohandas Gandhi and (during the nonviolent demonstrations across the segregated American south as advocated by) Martin Luther King, Jr. . . . compared them and their actions to brainwashing. Didn’t a fellow called Yeshua or Jesus or something also advocate “turning the other cheek”?????? Indeed, isn’t Wright a pastor at the Trinity United Church of Christ?

Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,

Rajjpuut
