I’ve spent the last 15 minutes reading the responses to Reverand Wrights sermon. It’s easy to see who is black and white. I am a black man who considers himself to be a concervative Christian. Most white people don’t understand black theology. They do not teach and preach Bible theology, that would take away 90% of their sermons. I am a member of a mostly black congregation where our black pastor has taught us the difference. He would never allow the Reverand Wright to speak in his pulpit. I use to attend a church just like the one’s who invite the Reverand Wright to speak. It’s more about civil rights than Jesus Christ and loving your neighbor as yourself. I did listen to his sermon and I did hear the hatred talked about here. Only a small minority of blacks would give his the time of day. He needs to get SAVED!

The poll reveals that many people don’t believe Obama supports or accepts the views of Mr. Wright. With that understanding, if these same people consider themselves fair and balanced?
I’m curious, if a person hangs out with drug dealers would those same respondents assume the person hanging out with drug dealers are law abiding citizens….or the possibility they also do drugs or accept those who do?

The Reverand, no I don’t think of him as reverand, more like the Devil himself, raving and ranting, what Wright should do is go visit Shreveport Lousians and especially (The Bottoms ) there and he will get a very clear picture of race and the filthy surroundings, I am wondering if any politican has EVER VISITED that area just to see the drunken men laying in layers on their dirt yards while their children go hungry and naked…some politicans would not dare go near there out of fear.it will make you sick as there is NO CURE for this.

Reverend Wright has a mental problem He is obsessed with his hatred for whitey and he just doesn’t know when to quit. If things are so bad and the white man has suppressed him and his, what should he do? Leave the country.
No one is alive that had anything to do with the enslavement of your ancestors and the rest of that crazy talk is all in your mind, Rev. Why don’t you quit whining?

“Reverend” Jeremiah Wright with all his rantings has departed from he call of a Pastor let alone a minister of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Christian faith speaks to forgiveness rather than keeping counts of wrong doings. The sound of the bitterness that is in his soul is the outward evidence that he neither loves His brethren let alone the true gospel that Jesus preached. As mean spirited as Mr Wright sound he is still worthy of prayer from the Body of Christ. We must pray for his repentance and deliverence from the hatred that is imbeded in his soul. One doesn’t need to hear the full sermon to know of what spirit he is preaching from. When preaching from the spirit of Christ the message doesn’t focus on man’s natural condition but on his spiritual condition. Mr. Wright would do better to focus his own soul on Christ and His love for mankind rather than on bringing division to mankind.

Scott, those were not “Salem witches” that the Russians placed in Cuba, just 90 miles off our
Florida coast, in 1961. They were nuclear warheads. In his memoirs, Nikita Khrushchev said
that Russia owed a great debt of gratitude to Julius and Ethel Rosenberg for the fact that they
helped provide the technology to enable Russia to possess the atomic bomb. In 1943, an American colonel placed wiretaps which recorded correspondences of Roosevelt and Truman staff members with Moscow. The correspondences of Harry Dexter White, Alger Hiss, Harry Hopkins, Julius Rosenberg, and many others were documented. These documents were declassified and released in 1995, as “the Venona Papers.” When folks speak the term
“McCarthyism,” with sort of a snarling, growl, maybe they also should say “the Venona
Papers” the same way, because they now prove that ol’ Joe was right on the dot!

“comprehending how you can love a brother who does not believe what you believe. [Pincham’s] faith was a faith in a God who loved the whole world not just one country or one creed.” The question is, will Reverend Wright practice what he preaches?

Rev Wright is more of a threat to the set-back of racial harmony in our country than anyone in the last 40 years. My concern for Mr. Obama is that in sitting under his tutorship for 20 years is that he must agree with many and most of Mr. Wright’s philosophies or he would have long ago left. I do not want a President who has such a tutor.

Wright is right. I know we don’t like the ugly truth but, as a true conservative, Caucasian in appearance and Northwest European mutt in ancestry and as a clergy person, I know truth often-times is ugly, it hurts and its voice often grates against our conscience. But he is correct and that church was correct in rallying around him. People, we are letting the press tell us what is important, now they tell us that we should judge a candidate, not on the content of his character or the content of his ideas, but on the words of his or her associates. Have we become such sheep that we cannot recognize the McCarthy-ism, the Salem witch trials, inherent in the press today? It’s a terrible parody of what the press should be. Vote for/against Sen. Obama based on his ability to enact policy that will improve our nation will raise the level of the public square out of the gutter, and consider Sens. McCain and Clinton under that same light. Evaluate their ideas for a future, not the words of someone else.

The United States did not have a perfect beginning. I don’t know of any society with an unblemished history. Mr Wright talks about exposing our history. We have not hidden from our history. On the contrary, we have confronted it head on.

The beauty of our country is that we have learned from our mistakes and continue to do so, and we stive to constantly improve as a society. While still not perfect, we have one of the most diverse, tolerant and progressive societies on the face of the planet. I prefer to live in the present, not dwell on past wrongdoings. To do so will serve nothing more than to stir up old hatreds and prejudices. For this reason, I serioulsy distrust Referend Wright’s motives.

Yes we had slavery, but we abolished slavery. Yes, even today, we have remnants of prejudice, bigotry and racism, and alas, may always have a percentage of our society that harbors such thoughts. Mr Wright’s forcus should be on how far the United States has come since its inception. God Bless America. Two hundred years in the making - and still progressing

I’d like to ask Mr. Wright if he has ever read the Bible from Genesis to Revelations. Surely not. The Bible is a book written by men inspired of God and is full of wonderful treasures. If he would read and study Gods Word he would learn, among other things, that God teaches us to do good to those who despitefully use us and to pray for our enemies. If he thinks white people are his enemies because of the slavery trade in the past, then he needs to have his church pray………..not teach them to hate. A person who lives in the past never has a present.

He has to be one bitter and miserable man.

I thought the sermon was really good and well prepared…I’am unsure what the other listeners heard that garnered the responses above. It seemed they all had preconceived thoughts or ideas concerning Rev Wright prior to listening. None made any comments concerning the direct issues Rev, Wright raised concerning our history. As a black man I was moved and outraged that that this man of God has been treated and demonized by so many fair-minded individuals!

My grandmother was ( she died at the age of 105, her mother 110) was 100% blackfoot native American. They love this country and NEVER cried poor poor me for what the white people did to her mother and father etc. SHe loved THIS LAND!!!!! And to hear this so called MAN of GOD PREACH HIS HATE. Just HURTS my soul. I have had family in all the wars that were and now they defended this great nation. Sure it has had its bitter time in its history , but this is now and these hateful . hateful words cuts this nation and leaves her to bleed. As long as this goes on she will never heal. I nor my family see color we see what is deep in your soul and that is how you take the measure of a man Even though some think it ,Obama is no MARTIN or Bobby or JFK and yet he THINKS he is just watch him walk all I have heard is change that is what I am afraid of what is his change?. As Martin thank you for giving me time.

outland - When Obama looses the presidential race this will certainly have been a factor. It is NOT Jeremiah Wright’s fault, however, it is Obama’s. Wright could have stayed out there preaching hatred all he wanted and it wouldn’t have had an effect on the election. It is Obama’s decision to follow Wright, to support Wright, and to spread Wright’s message and base his book on Wright’s teachings that causes concern.

Reverand Wright( If you can truly call him that) proved through his comments that he is a raciast and truly should be held accountable for his acts of treason toward our contry during time of war. For Obama to sit in this hateful atmosphere for 20 years shows his own character! He wants to be our Commander in Chief! God help US! If the shoe was on the other foot McCain would of been run out of the country.
