I can't believe this Wright 'scandal' is still going -It shows the immaturity & ignorance of America   Updated at 11:02 PM
   

The stunning thing is not what the Rev. SAID....

The stunning thing is that Americans take no responsibility for our collective brutality against so many groups (race, sexual orientation, religion, etc), and becomes utterly outraged not because of those ACTS...but for being CALLED out on those acts.

Look at the Iraq war. The most recent (disgusting) example. The best estimates show a 1,000,0000 Iraqi people killed, a similiar number wounded, triple that number displaced, and millions upon millions of torn apart Iraqi families. Women forced to sell their bodies on the street to feed their children. Their capitol city has literally been transformed into a CESSPOOL. And, HALF the population thinks the Iraq war is going 'well'. The ARROGANCE of the American people to feel entitled to bomb a nation into smithereens due to the mere PERCEPTION of threat, it is sinful. The LAZINESS of the American people in their complicity in allowing this murder and slaughter to continue is beyond excuse. And, our refusal to DEMAND that this entire administration and Congress be held to account for such a mass slaughter and destruction has laid the soulless face of our nation bare.

We deserve every damn bit of suffering that will rain upon us as a CONSEQUENCE of our narcisstic entitlement and indecency to the rest of the human race.

What the hell is wrong with this nation?

We should be be DEEPLY ashamed.

I don't know exactly why this post got my attention.  maybe it's because I never imagined that one person could be so staggeringly misguided about virtually everything  that they thought, or attempted to think about.

No,what is stunning to me is that some want to continually dredge up the past,which can never be changed,to try to ram an evil political ideology down peoples throats.

1,000,000 dead iraqis is the least ingnorant thing that she had to say on that post, and she said a lot of stuff.

This reminds me of how the lefty lunatics act whenever the homosexual agenda is exposed.

That race baiters still want to revisit slavery which was 160 plus years ago and beyond anyones control today.
It was an awful thing,was done away with and never will be reinstituted.

Rather then regard it as a dark moment that we found ourselves as a nation to be better from they want to use it as an excuse and free pass to push a socialist ideology.

We will never get past race issues as Sen.Obama says he wants when race is used as a club to beat someone with and that doesn`t matter what color or position one takes.

He and the Jesse Jacksons,Al Sharptons..etc do not wish for that day because then they would be nothing.
Instead they keep the racisim of the past alive to further their personal goals.

I thought that was the direction you were going, I just wasn't sure.  Because we have to point out that for the last 20 years hussein has been happily and willingly enjoying this type of racist venom .

What is stunning is what is never addressed about black Americans. 

Black Americans have made up arounf 12-13% of the total population of the USA since the Civil War.  There has been no growth, percentagewise, even though their rate of reproduction is higher than whites.  There is a reason for this, and it should be discussed in Rev. Wright's church, if indeed the Rev. Wright cares about black Americans.

That is why he gave the "speech".
Not to address any issues but to slyly begin to turn the issue and conversation away from the hate filled things Wright has spouted (and he soaked up) into a white racisim thing.

Bringing up his granny wasn`t an accident or a meandering thought,it was to reinstill the notion that only white people can be racist.

He is a disgusting individual.

I have never though about or noticed that but you are right,that has been the percentage for as long as I have been alive.

Okay maybe but then why insinuate or virtually declare she was a product and perpetuator of some sort of ingrained white racisim.

You are probably right about playing both sides against the middle and is further evidence he is nothing but a calculating politician rather then the great hope.

well, when the entire world suddenly thinks that your pastor is a bigot against white people, pointing out
that your granny is white, and has had racist thoughts, probably seemed like a good idea.
