acemona Posted March 23, 2008 Posted March 23, 2008 When does he actually say that one race is superior, or therefore MORE equal, to another race? When does he say that White's should not be allowed to go to the same schools or live in the same neighborhoods? When does he say that white's are not human enough to sit at the sam lunch counters or drink from the same water fountains? When does he say any of those things in any of his sermons. I have not seen or heard it. Pointing out the failings white, European based colonialism and the arrogance of the Postmodern West is not necessarily racist. It may just be commentary from a non-white participant in that history. What is the native American view of Columbus and his followers? I would say they would call him a foreign invader and not a "discoverer". Does that make them racist?
Run To State Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson seems to think he's racist. An excerpt from Hannity & Colmes: HANNITY: ... This is the issue of Barack Obama's pastor, and his adherence to what he calls the black value system. I asked him about it on this very show. You know, he asked his congregation to commit themselves to adherence to the black work ethic, the black family, the black value system, acquire skills available to the black community, strengthen and support black institutions, pledge allegiance to the black leadership who have embraced the black value system, and then we found out this week that he also gave an award and said about Louis Farrakhan, a racist and anti-semite, that this is a man who truly epitomized greatness. Now, if every Republican associated themselves with an anti-semite racist, and if you replaced the word black with white and went to that type of church, wouldn't that be a huge deal in this campaign, reverend? PETERSON: They would not allow it to happen. There's a double standard in America today. Liberal blacks can do and say whatever they want and get away with it. We all know that Reverend Jeremiah Wright Jr. is a racist. Anyone that supports Farrakhan — and I also have to say real fast is that God — if you're born again of the nature of God, then you're of the spirit, not of the color. I particularly like the the part in bold.
acemona Posted March 24, 2008 Author Posted March 24, 2008 No quotes from Wright?? I guess that answers my question.
True blue (and gold) Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 I like the bolded part, too, Run to State.
Habib Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 This thread will be particularly useful since we already moved to the point of having a general belief that every utterance of Wright is racist. What are the specifics, rather than the assumptions?

I particularly like the the part in bold. Franky Hannity has no room to talk. Seems he is chums with a Neo-Nazi. Racist Hal Turner is very open about his friendship with Mr. Hannity. "I can tell you from my firsthand, personal experience that Sean Hannity does, in fact, agree with many of my political and social views. I can also tell you that Sean Hannity disagrees with some of my political and social views. I won't go subject-by-subject to say which he agrees with and which he disagrees with. You can figure that out easy enough on your own! Suffice it to say that my recollection is that when Sean and I spoke by phone, while no one else was listening, he and I exchanged the kinds of views that most White, Irish-Catholic guys hold, but won't speak in public." - Hal Turner
AcesFull Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 No quotes from Wright?? I guess that answers my question.There are plenty of quotes in the threads that already existed. There is no need to copy and paste them. Apparently, no evidence short of a confession is going to convince Obama's supporters that their candidate's pastor is a racist. What do you believe Obama has been condemning, if not Wright's racist and anti-American remarks? :lol: "I have already condemned my former pastor's views on Israel in the strongest possible terms, and I certainly wasn't in church when that outrageously wrong Los Angeles Times piece was re-printed in the bulletin," Obama said in a statement e-mailed to JTA late Thursday. Barack Obama blasts pro-Hamas Op-Ed I have already condemned, in unequivocal terms, the statements of Reverend Wright that have caused such controversy. For some, nagging questions remain. Obama and his bitter church To his credit, Obama has finally admitted that his pastor has some serious problems with race. Why is it so hard for Obama's supporters to come to the same realization?
acemona Posted March 24, 2008 Author Posted March 24, 2008 Pretend to hear Jeopardy music playing . . . Maybe some anti-american statements and even anti-Israel, but no notion of one race being superior to another. His Israel statements were not anti-semitic but anti the country

Obama and his bitter church To his credit, Obama has finally admitted that his pastor has some serious problems with race. Why is it so hard for Obama's supporters to come to the same realization? Yes, indeed. What exactly was Obama apologizing about when he made this statement: "Let me say at the outset that I vehemently disagree and strongly condemn the statements that have been the subject of this controversy. I categorically denounce any statement that disparages our great country or serves to divide us from our allies. I also believe that words that degrade individuals have no place in our public dialogue, whether it's on the campaign stump or in the pulpit. In sum, I reject outright the statements by Rev. Wright that are at issue." Probably just an overreaction on Obama's part. Or maybe a realization that his quest for the presidency had incurred some serious damage.
jwstum00 Posted March 24, 2008 Posted March 24, 2008 Hmm. No one has come forth with actual quotes from Wright. Interesting.
