This sermon is brilliant, humane and profoundly Christian, and Reverend Wright is wrongly maligned for it. I wish President Obama had stood up for him at the time this was getting shouted about three years ago. I had been troubled by the last verses of Psalm 137 for many years, and was deeply moved by what Reverend Wright had to say. Thank you for posting this--I never would have been able to listen to it otherwise.
The wealthy are all white oppressors, and the darker people are the oppressed? Jeremiah hasn't gotten out much has he? Africans captured and beat and sold their brothers to other people for a buck. White europeans were the last people to get involved in the slave trade. Black on Black crime is highest in our country. More black women have abortions than any other. I think it's blacks that have oppressed themselves more than any other people. by the way there's alot of poor whites in this world!
CJay, Aren't whites always being accused of being the bad people of the earth? It's time to tell all of history not just "snippets" I'm definitely not a racist nor do I believe any people should blame a whole other race for all of their problems. My comments were to show that there are 2 sides to every coin, I know several Black attorneys, doctors, business owners, many succeed and don't find excuses not to work hard and make a good life!! I'm tired of hearing whitey oppresses us!!!!
@leesec1. Yawn. I love your anecdotal evidence. We don't even know you. On the other hand, blacks being incarcerated, denied mortgages, and mistreated in all spheres of socio-economic is backed by countless academic sources. One just has to look at papers regarding the prison crisis. The under representation of blacks in politics in the liberal north. I don't even have to start about the third world. This "excuses" notion is so annoying, because I'd start looking at you.
@raptorkiller2k5 You need only look to yourself, self victimization is what's killing people like you. Stop making excuses for bad behavior and for a lack of self respect. I tell you the truth I have never seen so many people celebrate their own demise. Ya need to only look at you. Franny and freddy remember those 2 banking institutions that had to be bailed out? Please tell me why? Wasn't it because they were giving out loans to minorities that did not pay their loans? I think so.
@leesec1 well in that case then friend are you willing to put yourself in our shoes for one day? in fact look up on you tube the tyra banks show... where she had an idea on doing some social experiments... where she ended up puttin herself (in disguise) in the common everyday americans shoes to see what happens and how everyone else reacted to the characters that she potrayed...which was in fact the everyday common american, exposing how fucked up everyone is in this country...uhhhmerica.
Let's just say you are correct in all that you say about black people being oppressive to each other. So what? What does that have to do with the fact that America codied subhuman and inhumane treatment to slaves and descendents of slaves? Moral equivalence is a false argument and does not negate responsibility. So, other people's involvement in triangular trade negates America's involvement? That's illogical.
@10ruthie. That's pretty obvious considering over a million young black men are in the prison system. These black men are largely incarcerated due to petty drug possession (despite being the minority of drug users). In addition, these men are usually poor.
What does that mean? The grants allocated to poor, by census income stats, doesn't reach black communities, but well off rural areas where prison complexes are based. White people, in return, significant over represent on the welfare line.
@leesec1. The demand was driven by whites, though. It's akin to me holding down your sister and then I sign a contract, where I sell her virginity (and life) to this cat, Ignorant Fuck. Do I have to provide more graphic examples? Is the ignorant fuck, i.e. white buyers, not guilty as well?
This is so annoying as hell, because this shit is still occurring now. Don't get surprised that WTC was taken down. That's what happens when America and West kills innocents in the third world.
jEREMIAH WRIGHT MADE A STATEMENT NO ONE CAUGHT WHEN HE SAID EDOMITES!! THIS IS THE HATEFUL SPEECH THAT BLACK RACIST HEBREW ISREALITES USE TO DESCRIBE WHITE PEOPLE! I NOW KNOW jEREIMIAH wRIGHT IS A RACIST!!
CJay, please my friend did ya catch the prayer? WRIGHT HAS SHOWN HIMSELF TO BE ANTI AMERICAN!! If he wasn't he would rebuke and console in a fashion less accusatory without the hateful rhetoric and without the white people remarks. Jeremiah loves America, he loves a black America. This man is not representing God or God's word. Scripture says God is not a respecter of persons, nor does He favor one race of people over another. Jeremiah does not speak for God.
Jeremiah Wright served this country as a Marine in the military. I would say that qualifies as patriotism. Critiquing your country's actions honestly does not make you anti-American. It's the MOST American thing you can do. If you don't agree with him, okay. But, doesn't he have a right to his opinion and viewpoint?
Never confuse criticism of America's injustices with anti-Americanism. He said God Damn America as he would any other country who kills innocent people. He said God damn America AS LONG as she tries to act as if she is god.
Yea x20brandon06x murdering people is wrong and calling them out on it is good. Funny how Jeremiah is pro abortion. there's a whole lot of hypocrisy in that don't ya think?
wow what a racist!!! all of the people in poverty black??? yeah right... what about in eastern Europe? the people in Asia?? the people on the streets? Not all black I can tell you that much! What propaganda! This disgusts me
The muslims are not the Hand of God and we as Americans are not "Jerusalem". Any time some terrible tragedy occurs it is because of wicked men, not "God" invoking his wrath on the children of Earth. We have our own free agency and so whether we do "righteous" works or "devilish" works it is still we who do them. Not some predisposition by the Almighty to "punish" us for our supposed unrightesness. It's wrong of Wright to suggest otherwise and is arrogant of him to believe such fallasy.
Your an idiot. Nice fucking try! Wright is a certifiable whack-job marxist. Thanks for posting this so the world can see it first hand. Your videos don't help Obama out what so ever. You don't need to watch any of these. The sound bites say it all. They weren't taken out of context. Wright hates America, or pretends to for money. Get a life crackhead.
Thank God for this man of God and the internet that is allowing the truth to be spread. The news media is anti-truth, and anti-the Word of God and anyone who speaks it.
