Wright Story: Fear Them Here So We Won't Have to Fear Them Over There.

[Bonobo]

Same old story of "Fear Your Neighbor".


Japanese Internment Camp = "Assembly Centers"


Xenophobic racists = "Minutemen"


Private thugs = "Anti-looter security"


"Dangerous Black Man"

1. Nobody can tell me what was wrong about what Pastor Wright said.

NGU.

7. He's crazy AND scary. Especially when you post individual quotes out of any cultural context!

[Double T]

2. NO FEAR here.

Just fighting the raging battle EVERYDAY against obamaganda.

3. That guy was supposed to be all about black people helping themselves

out of their problems. It turns out it's the same old shit about blaming white people for everything. He stands for shit, he's nothing.

5. I dare you to stand on a 95th Street, here in Chicago and say that.

Remember that scene in Die Hard, where what's his face got sat down in Harlem with an incendiary placard?

It'll be what they call a 'teaching moment'. Rhetorically speaking of course.

You could easily just look up what he means to his congregation. But you won't. I'm sure of it.

6. According to obama, the guy is like, retired, he's just an uncle now.

Apparently he don't have a congregation anymore.

Dr. Wright has preached 207,792 minutes on Sunday for the past 36 years at Trinity United Church of Christ. This does not include weekday worship services, revivals and preaching engagements across America and around the globe, to ecumenical and interfaith communities. It is an indictment on Dr. Wright’s ministerial legacy to present his global ministry within a 15- or 30-second sound bite,” said the Reverend Otis Moss III, pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ.

During the 36-year pastorate of Dr. Wright, Trinity United Church of Christ has grown from 87 to 8,000 members. It is the largest congregation in the United Church of Christ denomination.

“It saddens me to see news stories reporting such a caricature of a congregation that has been such a blessing to the UCC’s Wider Church mission,” said the Rev. John H. Thomas, UCC general minister and president, in a released statement. “ … It’s time for us to say ‘No’ to these attacks and declare that we will not allow anyone to undermine or destroy the ministries of any of our congregations in order to serve their own narrow political or ideological ends.”

Trinity United Church of Christ’s ministry is inclusive and global. The following ministries have been developed under Dr. Wright’s ministerial tutelage for social justice: assisted living facilities for senior citizens, day care for children, pastoral care and counseling, health care, ministries for persons living with HIV/AIDS, hospice training, prison ministry, scholarships for thousands of students to attend historically black colleges, youth ministries, tutorial and computer programs, a church library, domestic violence programs and scholarships and fellowships for women and men attending seminary.

9. He's just "blaming white people for everything", you say? Well...

So if a Native American criticized White people for systematically stealing their land,cheating them, decimating them and CONTINUING to do so, you would conclude that he/she was just a loser that is "blaming white people for everything"?

"Blaming white people for everything!". That sounds EXACTLY like what Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity might say. It does. No sense alerting me on it. It is exactly what they do say.

[The_Casual_Observer]

10. That's what he does, blame white people.

I don't care if he does it, I could care less about the bastard. However, Obama lied about what the guy was all about.

[Bonobo]

12. White people deserve no blame for the oppression of black people, you're right.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

16. collective blame is a loathsome concept

[Bonobo]

17. Nice theory. Especially if you've never been collectively victimized. nt

[stillcool]

19. History is a loathsome concept...

What are you more outraged about, a million dead Iraqi's, or parts of a sermon given by an elderly Black Man?

[izzybeans]

15. There are clearly liars on this issue that is for sure.

:eyes:

[stillcool]

18. wow....you know all about the guy...

from listening to parts of a sermon. I don't think it is him you are judging.
