2nd Obama-linked pastor under fire for racist talk
"Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) "has been linked to another controversial pastor, this time a declared spiritual adviser who has called white American mayors 'slave masters,' and referred to black preachers and politicians who 'protect' the 'white man' as 'house n-ggers'," Aaron Klein wrote March 23, 2008, for WorldNetDaily. (The first controversial pastor being, of course, Obama's church pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.)

Meeks is pastor of Chicago's 20,000-member Salem Baptist Church; an Illinois Senator and superdelegate "pledged to Obama"; "has served as an executive vice president for Jesse Jackson's Rainbow/PUSH organization"; and "has reportedly campaigned for Obama and allowed Obama to campaign at his church" in May 2006, as well as "during the presidential candidate's 2004 senatorial run". A "recent Meeks endorsement of Obama is touted on the presidential candidate's campaign website," Klein wrote.

In an August 2006 sermon originally broadcast on "a Chicago community television channel," that was broadcast March 20, 2008, by Fox News Channel's Hannity and Colmes," the Rev. Meeks said "We don't have slave masters, we got mayors."

Continued Meeks in the sermon: "But they are still the same white people who are presiding over systems where black people are not able to be educated. You got some preachers that are house n-ggers. You got some elected officials that are house n-ggers. Rather than them try and break this up, they're gonna fight you to protect that white man."

Meeks at the time was lashing out at Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley over public-school funding issues"
