Speaking as a moderate, Jeremiah Wright a racist? Big surprise – NOT!

It’s a shame that Wright appears to have so much in common with the White Supremacist hater that just shot up the lobby of the Holocaust Museum.

What a ridiculous thing to say.

Haters are not limited to one color, ethnicity, or religion, or political ideology, Your Name. They come in all flavors, unfortunately.

“Hater” and “Armed Assailant” are two different things. Comparing Wright to this tool is, in a word, ridiculous.
My god you people need some friggin perspective.

Of course they are, My Name. But, just, for an exercise, listen to Wright’s quote about “Jews keeping him from Obama” next to von Brunn’s rationalization for why he was convicted by “Jewish Judges and Negro and Jewish Juries” for trying to hold the Federal Reserve hostage. (Of course, he said “Jew Judges” not “Jewish Judges.”)

Big yawn to Atlas’ incoherent rant….

Wright is a poor excuse for a minister. He has retired to an expensive mansion, and really should stay there. Wondered how he got enough money as a minister (usually not a well paid profession)to afford that mansion.
As to his statements? Certainly isn’t helping the face of Christianity. Would be helpful if folks would ignore him.

Like it or not, what makes white folks so uncomfortable about Wright is more about their inability to see Black Liberation Theology as anything other than dangerous to whites.
So typical of white folks – you know, sometimes what you want and what you think and what you care about isn’t the be-all, end-all of existence.
Is ANYONE allowed to have something that’s theirs and theirs alone without y’all getting your knickers knotted?

So, Your Name, you think the opinion that Wright is a jerk has to do with him being black? No. That would be him making crude statements about Jews (in this case). Hitler had the same problem…and he wasn’t black. Color of speaker or the color of the target of the speaker has nothing to do with anything. It’s the hateful words of the speaker that’s the problem….not the color. This speaker is supposed to be a retired minister.

So, Your Name, you think the opinion that Wright is a jerk has to do with him being black?
Bzzzzt. Wrong. I think the opinion that Wright is a jerk has to do with his preaching BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY – not him being black.
BLT is dangerous and spooky to white folks, who can’t imagine that anyone could see them as the beneficiaries of genocidal expansionism, oppressive colonialism, and an infrastructure built by slaves and indentured servants.
White folks have this idea that just because the last 30 years or so have been better than the last 400 that everyone is just supposed to forget about the last 400.
That’s just silly, frankly.
The most powerful people on the planet today are straight white Christian men, but to listen to them, one gets the impression that they believe themselves to be the most persecuted segment of the population.
There is this general feeling amongst straight white Christian men that since the law has effectively forced them to stop beating, raping, and genociding their way into dominance, that they are suddenly due some special status that excuses them from the karmic debt that is their due.
For a community that rails so heavily against individual freedoms of the formerly oppressed in favor of their personal flavor of traditional morality, they certainly seem to champion their *own* individual freedom *from* traditional morality.
Traditional morality states punishments for the sins of the father shall be visited upon the perpetrator even unto the seventh generation. Why do straight white christian men balk so much at being shunned out of polite society? Why is it that they whine when denied tenure? Why is it that they complain so much about having jobs for which they deem themselves uniquely personally qualified given to those of a different color or gender than themselves?
Why is it that they demand a meritocracy *now* when they would have strung up a smart black gay woman from a tree for daring to demand equality just a century ago?
What makes them so special in their own minds?
Cry your tears in the silence of your closets, and beg your god to forgive you for the hateful oppression your forefathers meted out to everyone different than you – for the colored, the gay, the female, the non-Christian – they don’t owe you the time of day, let alone the forgiveness you demand so boldly.
Consider it a matter of the benign mercy of those who were destroyed that you are not chased out of the land at swordpoint. Consider it an act of the sweetest love that you are not lynched on sight or tied to a stake and burned as an example to your brethren to not step out of line.
It is not up to you, straight white christian men, to determine for the historically oppressed when it’s appropriate for them to “just get over it and move on.” They are not on your timetable.
Now – let’s see who has the brain power to look past the “oh so shocking fact that someone called Obama’s handlers Jews” and look at *why* that’s such an offense to White sensibilities.

OK, YN. Got it.

Do you?

OK, M N(?), Got it. Yes. IF here was a name instead of “no name” or My name, it would be easier to reply!
