@divinejudge1 YEAP!
-
i agree with the sermon and i think the media should have played this whole clip then just thoes 5 seconds they kept repeating
-
the reference to 'white america' is not mine. it's a recurring them throughout many of wright's sermons. i would have thought someone as knowledgeable about him as you would have known that. also if you want specifics, watch this video. moyers plays the clip of the sermon then wright explains what he was meaning at the time. what he says at that moment i don't believe. how hard is that to understand, what more specifics are required?
-
If you want your opinion to be taken as seriously as many take Rev. Wright's you'll have to be more specific in how you reply.
Also, your assertion that he has "disdain for 'white America'" is false and unfounded.
Besides, where is this "white" America you refer to?
-
if you are getting hung up on the word 'buy', i retract it. it's a colloquial phrase. all i mean is that i don't think his explanation is a legitimate rationalization of the things he said. i think he does hold disdain for white america that's why he said the things he said. not b/c of some highly intellectual spiritual concept that he was trying to highlight in his sermons.
-
I was referring to his "explanation", which you claim not to "buy".
Just the same, some books are written and many press tours undertaken not solely to make money.
There are other moral and ethical standards at work here.
Still, why shouldn't someone be paid for writing a book?
Do have any ideas how much work and energy--mental and otherwise--actually goes into producing something others will want to read?
-
sure it is, otherwise why is he going out on a press tour and planning to publish a book?
-
This may surprise you, but I surmised the same thing just from watching the media smears against him; I had never seen or heard about him until then.
Moyers' interview simply confirms my original assessment of Wright

It's not for sale, Einstein.
God Damn America indeed! For putting itself above God and controlling people/citzens.

The only people calling Wright's comments racist are the people who are themselves racist, and the people who see a benefit from making these comments out to be racist.
