Weighing in on Wright

[greg2009]

If Obama wins, white institutional racism will still exist. People of white European descent will still be the dominate culture in America. Black on black crime will exist, kids born out of wedlock will still exist, and economic/education disparities will still exist. Obama's presidency (if he wins) will be more symbolic than substantive for blacks in America. The Exec branch, the Congress, and the Supreme Court will continue to be vastly white. Without him in the Senate, it will be all WHITE!!

Preach on Wright.

[adamwishmaster]

This is typical - how can they say that Barack should be true to himself and embrace these comments? Or say that if McCain's preacher said these comments that they wouldnt be on CNN? If McCain was associated with anyone that said the derogatory racist comments against blacks, he not only wouldnt be the GOP nominee, he'd be fined and probably in jail!

Racism is alive - and it's very alive in the reverse form.

Rev Wright just bitched about politics

thats it

who cares?

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE 1ST AMENDMENT???

the thing is that john mccain's spiritual advisers like John Hagee and Rod Parsley made much worse comments that wright

[bapagan]

The media is using this to cut the legs out from under Obama. Rev. Wright is not running for president, Barack is. If people care about a candidate's religious beliefs, why the hell didn't anyone make a big deal about GWB saying God talked directly to him? It's a smear campaign, that's all...because if Barack wins, it won't be business as usual. For the first time in years, I have hope for the future and for my children's future.

Theo doesn't know what he is talking about...ask actual Trinitarians at Howard

[flyingbird0214]

Barak Obama's government is best described by French author Pierre Boulle in his bestseller La planète des singes.

Howard University was founded by the US government, an act of Congress, at a time when Blacks weren't allowed in many universities, or their admission was very restricted. It had a reason to exist at a time. It was open from the beginning to people of all colors. However it lacks the academic standing it once had.

As a student currently enrolled at Howard University I find it necessary to correct your seemingly uninformed response to the video posted above. Yes, HU was founded during Reconstruction by Congress as an attempt to rectify "The Negro Question."(what shall we do w/ the current mass of newly freed former slaves) Initially, Howard was founded on the premise of educating the many offspring of prominent Whites whom just happened to be Mulatto. Since its founding, along with other HBCUs, Howard..

[QckSlvr09]

..Howard has matriculated thousands of successful individuals the majority being of African descent. Because it is a rare occasion for minorities in America (specifically African Americans) to be afforded an opportunity where they can enjoy a positive educational environment in which they learn, among other things, their true history and identity,(many for the first time) HBCUs provide an unmatched richness scarcely found at Predominantly White Institutions...

[QckSlvr09]

..Additionally, because Howard is currently ranked in the top 100 of schools in the U.S.

Only those that can not think with their left brain would not be able to discern the lies that Reverend Wright has told about American government and white people. The left brain delusion is so powerful that even when Barak Obama instructs them that Wright's comments are: "All it was was a bunch of rants that aren't grounded in truth,"

[hypnofan35]

Reverend Wright is ok by me. What happened to free speech? You gotta figure hillary is pretty much of a backstabbing genius. Barack Obama was not saying that it was a completely other guy. People like to declare stupid wars because it makes them seem like they are somehow on the right side. i was once forced to be a JW until i said "not in this lifetime". It is hierarchical bullshit. Sometimes it play out real bad. It always plays out stupid.

[studio7manga]

Encouraging to see almost everyone thought that the Rev. Wright business was bullcrap.

Also, "I've been black for about 21 years now", lol.

[pathrhino]

lets open our closed in minds and stop falling for the positioning of the mainstream media. we are being orchestrated to the tee like parrots in an echo chamber. it is comforting to see young minds that are actually thinking of any racial ethnicity. allow that to be an example when you also open your mouth.

[Dresden718]

Howard university is racist. White people cant make all white colleges, so wtf.

[WyattHalliwell2009]

Most colleges are mostly white. The reason HBCUs exist in the first place is because blacks were not allowed to go to college. So learn your history before you try to comment. White people go to HBCUs as well as other races. It's just predominantly black, just like most other colleges are predominantly white.

[leedime2]

I see you you've Tim Wise. ;)

[leedime2]

Correction; I see you've watched Tim Wise ;)

[MIXMASHUP]

this statemant is EXACTLY the problem.. do you know why black colleges were created? think!
