This is whats wrong with white america, They refuse to face the truth about the many disparities of which affects us today. They want to keep their heads buried in the sand when it’s come to racial injustice. what’s wrong? Do they not know that we are angry at the way we have been and still being mistreated by white america. why be afraid of this church? when there are white churches all across this world refuse to address the the root issues of racial injustice and unequality. This is a sin as well. “The sin of omission”. Refusing to to deal with the issues that affects us. Lets all do the right thing and treat all races with respect and dignity.

Please get to know the real Pastor Wright, go to youtube and type in Pastor Granderson Wright, the street Preacher and you’ll get some real news worthy news. He’s on the Streets of Los Angles really. He looks for the gangs of Los Angeles at night to let them know the true power of God. They take no guns or knives justThe Bible and Love.

We will have lots of endure with in the future; we don’t need a civil war to fight. It is better to elect Hillary Clinton or John McCain. I don’t really see how BO could be win the election in November. Superdelegates could be really wrong.

Thank you Fox for reporting all the articles relating to the Rev. Wright controversies and the church. Other news media appear to have a different agenda and only reporting the articles that causes chaos, prejudice and anger among us. No story has one side or view, these follow-up stories allow us to see the damages the media caused to not only Rev. Wright, our citizens that were offended by the sermons, but a church that has been helping the community faithfully for years. What happened to ” freedom to worship”? Thank you, I think I will be viewing Fox more often.

I am a pastor and every week I read my Bible and the newspaper. When I enter into the pulpit each Sunday I try to give some Christian direction in light of what I read in both. As a pastor I have felt a high level of anger in the white community since the Jeremiah Wright sermons have been broadcast… and after reading the comments of the new pastor, Moss, I fear we have just slipped back ten years…as I fear the white community will no longer be interested in trying to understand…and the reason I have heard many of them give is…they feel the black community wants to be treated special instead of equal…and they just don’t have the time, or the heart for it as efforts so far have not been acknowledged…America has far more important and urgent matters to take care of and a man named Abe gave us the best advise…A House Divided Cannot Stand. American races do not need to mix together just for the mixing…but rather they need to bring back the true joy of the Christian message to all churches and then jointly carry it out to a troubled world!

How can Barack Obama still be a contender? It’s totally outrageous. His church has single handedly set our country back 40 years. These churches should lose their tax exempt status immediately. All are political. Start taxing them and watch em’ crumble.

To form an intelligent opinion on the Wright sermon one must first have
an open mind and it would help to listen to the sermon in it’s
intirety.I did this and heard a great sermon by a learned Pastor.The
snipets played adnauseum by cnn and fox accomplished their miss-
ion to discredit Obama but could’nt sabbatage his lead in the polls. I don’t
expect this to be posted.So surprise me!

I have seen Dr. Wright’s messages in context and have concluded that while they aren’t politically correct.. they are in NO way racist or anti-American. As a matter of fact his statements are understood completely differently when seeing the message in entirety. While I may not agree with how he stated certain things, Im sure had he known that his messages were going to be cherry-picked and nationally exploited, he would’ve framed his words differently. Notheless, Im disappointed at the irresponsibilty of the media. I doubt very much that this will hurt Obama very much though, giving that the context is now available and viewed by millions. CNN has even began to play the clips in context.. Hopefully Fox will follow suit.

In reference to the “social Gospel of liberation” mentioned in this article, as Christians we must remember what the apostle Paul warned when speaking to the the Galatians of that day: “I marvel that you are so soon removed from Him that called you into the grace of Christ to follow ANOTHER GOSPEL: which is really no gospel at all; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the GOSPEL OF CHRIST. But though we, OR AN ANGEL FROM HEAVEN, preach any OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that which we have preached unto, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, IF ANY MAN preach any OTHER GOSPEL unto you than that which you have received, let him be accursed.” (Galations 1:6-9) This still applies to those who speak from the pulpit today. While Jerimiah Wright is “damning” and condemning America, maybe he should take a moment to reflect on these sacred words.

Wright came from an upper-middle class neighborhood/family…his mother a teacher & then a principal & his father a a pastor.
Obama is NOT a descendant of slavery in this country (his father was not from here).
So all this talk about these things from these two is ridiculous b/c as opposed to others of their racial heritage they do NOT “know where of they speak”.

I left the RCC over their theology/practices/actions including but not ltd to the molestations scandals & I don’t expect anything less from others.

To stand by evil is to allow evil & IMHO many of Wright’s sermons were evilly racist. IMHO, Wright is of the same ilk as Pat Buchanan…both racist.

And if I were his grandmother I’d kick him to the curb for using me.

I do not believe Obama’s church should use the pulpit for racial hatred. If my pastor preached anything other than the Bible I would look elsewhere for a church. The pulpit is not the place for hatred. What happened to seperation of church and state.

Many people have said many things in this world under the aegis of it being “Christian”. Now we have a few saying that the words of Rev. Wright are “prophetic” ; that he is being treated like Jesus was…that he is being lynched. This church, this Rev. Wright are heretical. They clearly represent a “point of view” and it is their right to do so, but neither are Christian by any generous standard or non-standard application of that description. Barack Obama has stated that Rev. Wright has been his “spiritual advisor”. God help us all, if that is the case and he is elected President.

Thanks Fox News for telling both sides. Obama got the 3:00am. call and went on vacation. When is he going to answer the real question? Why he sat in that church so long? It is very clear that this is the strong belief of this church.

Such spewing of anger and Hate from a Church Pulpit
I have never witnessed before from anywhere.

No matter how you feel about this issue, I believe that everyone would agree that Fox’s reporting
on this story has been ” Fair & Balanced “.

Thank you Fox News for keeping us up to date. So what if this issue lasts until the election? It is very relevant in selecting our next President.

To the people who want this story to go away because it doesn’t fit your agenda: Some of us like to know what is going on in this nation instead of taking the stick-your-head-in-the-sand approach.

I respect my brothers and sisters in Christ of all colors. I am married to an American-Asian. However, I served my country and my sons have served in the army of the United States. One of them fought to defend this country. Five uncles fought in WWII.

I don’t agree with the government of the United States sometimes, but I will never call upon my God to “damn” it for any reason. Disagreeing and trying to change a wrong is far different than calling down damnation upon a nation. Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, and the so-called Rev. Wright are mighty poor representatives of my black brothers in Christ.

Obama ought to have distanced himself from this man a long time ago and leaves me very nervous about seeing him in the Senate - say nothing of the presidency of the United States.

The Democrats are not offering much to the American people in the way of good choices.

The “social gospel of liberation” is just double speak for a hand out. The non specific “resurrection fund” is just another slush fund for corrupt ministers. Jesus Christ liberates us spritually and we in turn then find the strength to improve our temporal circumstances through our own efforts. There is nothing Christian, spiritual or uplifting about this so called “church”. It’s just a regularly scheduled pity party. It will be the primary reason why Obama will not be our next president.

ANDREW: I agree with you. I think most people want to believe Obama when he says he disagreed with Wright’s comments but I don’t. I believe that Obama went to that church for 20 years because he believed what was being preached there. I am sure the others that were sitting in the congregation believed Wright too and nodded their heads in agreement. I’m sure there was an ‘amen’ or two.

There is a reporter who was at one of those ‘hate’ sermons with Obama was sitting in the church. He said Obama nodded his head in agreement to all that Wright said. To believe Obama now would be foolish. History is what we should look at. His actions of going to that church for 20 years speak volumes.
