Former Pastor Jeremiah Wright is not a racist, he's not anti-American or a bigot according to those that know him. Catholic priest, Michael Pfleger, is the lastest person to speak out in defense of the reverand following the firestorm of controversy generated by mainstream media. Pfleger speaks of the double standard in media coverage based on race, and racial injustices that still exist today in America. A couple of things here are worth noting:
- Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. was also critical of US government policy (the Vietnam War), social injustice and racism in America. At times he was demonized by media in his time as an anti-American communist, an evil hypocrit, and a demagogue.
- Neither Bill O'reilly, Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Karl Rove or Glenn Beck has ever enlisted in US military service. But they've all slammed Rev. Jeremiah Wright as a hater of America. Reverand Wright did serve in the military as a marine, not long after integration of the military. Wright also attended to former President Lydon B. Johnson, and was a guest of Bill Clinton in the White House.
For the record, Karl Rove, who might come under criminal investigation now for interference with our justice system, had several deferments to help him dodge the draft. Beck has a history of drug abuse and alcoholism. Hannity is a high school graduate and former construction worker and bartender. Limbaugh is a college dropout, thrice divorced, with a history with drugs who recently encouraged listeners to break the law to corrupt democratic primaries and "bloody" Barack Obama.

This guy is the reason I left the Catholic faith and became a non-denominational Christian instead. Catholic's are nothing more than money beggars who built a golden palace in Italy. Is this a place that Jesus would like, I think not.
Its interesting to me if I point out the double standard when it comes to racism,Im a racist white guy.If a black person does it they are speaking about black pride.Unless you are a supporter of what they say like Pfleger.
Louis Farrakhan never called Judiasm a gutter religion that is a big lie. He said Jews who are doing evil such as what they are doing in Israel belong to a gutter religion. He has also said this about Christian, Muslims etc.. but of course the media leaves that part out and people just run with it.
Look at the morons in Texas who are talking about leaving the union. Let a group of blacks say that and I bet you they would have a prison built around them and told to go back to Africa! That's what Pfleger is talking about. Hypocrities at their best!
