Rev. Wright Delivers Fiery Address to NAACP

Can someone tell Jerry Wright to Be QUIET? He is out of control and they are doing all this (including wright whom I am beginning to seen is jealous) to stop Obama!

"Africans and African-Americans are right-brained, subject-oriented in their learning style," he [Wright] said. "They have a different way of learning."

But ... Obama's left-handed, which MEANS right-brained, doesn't it?? Must be his WHITE side. (This is all so darned dumb. Wright also said blacks have five tones and whites have seven. I think Mr. Wright was jiving these people -- none of whom is going to say a mumbling word, for fear of being labeled "racist" -- and more power to him for THAT.)

vukasika,
The Clinton's have always supported black issues, nothing has changed today; Hillary's platform still puts minorities and those who struggle at the top of the list of importance in America. Yes, you are right, the black community didn't have to support Bill. They had a choice. They could have supported Bob Dole. I can promise you how much Dole would have supported the black community. The Clintons are the ones who are getting slapped in the face. And you know something, when Hillary gets into office, she will turn the other cheek and continue to fight for black issues and the advancement of blacks and all other minorities in this country without a second thought. You all should be ashamed!

"Africans and African-Americans are right-brained, subject-oriented in their learning style," he [Wright] said. "They have a different way of learning."
What? Are there genetic differences between white & black races? So, Rev. Wright, why does Obama speak English so eloquently? Is he a mutant?

Bill writes:
"I miss Jessie Jackson."

AMEN! If Jesse had followed his OWN politics, he would have endorsed John Edwards, instead of corporate fraud Obama, with his lukewarm "post-partisan" this and that, and his made-up biography, and it'd all be over by now.

I find Reverend's Wright's behavior divisive and offensive. I am an African-American woman and a PK-Preacher's Kid. His behavior is a reminder of the divisive tactics and remnant behaviors of slavery. Right now he is doing a poor rendition of a house....

While he may have a right to want to lick his wounds for Obama the man. Where is the Christian counsel or compassion in his words? How do you seek to destroy as part of God's love and kindness. He is functioning on a carnal level. Did Christ, other than indicate that one of you will betray me, openly seek to prove his majesty on the cross. Then, who is Reverend Wright to feel as a Christian Minister that he is above the opinions of people.

The history of the black church is a rich one. In its pure sense it seeks to uplift the downtrodden, unite masses of people and to promote positive change thant can enhance the lives of people across the globe.

Is Reverend Wright above Ecclesiastes 3:1-8, to everything there is a season. Why is he so verbal now? Why in such a crucial time as this is he so public about his views?

He is acting as Mr. Wright-he has lost focus of the Wright Reverend.

We need change. I need to know my daughter can go to college. I need to know my nephews won't be forced into fighting in a war without cause. I need to know that I will have a pension when I retire. I need to know that education in America will improve. I need to know that violence against children will cease.

I don't need to know that similarly to the walk of most Christians, Reverend Wright felt persecuted.

I am outraged, disappointed and baffled by how we continuously do the work of our enemies and get in the way of the good works of a friend.

Obama's pastor said Blacks' Brains are different from Whites' Brains. This is racist and crazy.

He also said that Black children hop on desk-- this is so outrageous.

He make it sound like black children are frogs who can't control themselves in school.

Also how can you take out of context when obama pastor said the government invented HIV to kill off people of color? -this is racist.

"If you listen to the original sermons in full, there's really very little to disagree with. It's amazing what a little context can provide."

Funny, Hugh Hewitt played them in their entirety, and there was a lot to take exception to.

Whereas Wright's defenders make this claim a lot, but never bother to provide any context. Just claiming it exists without bothering to try to show it.

And when the entire sermons are played? Context doesn't seem to help.

But it's certainly a popular defense. Quite a few comments in here try that defense.

How many of those actually show any of the "context" that would make Wright's statements acceptable? None.

Number of Wright's detractors who have made these sermons available in their entirety to show that "context" won't help?

Hugh Hewitt makes at least one... so that side seems to be in the lead.

So the resounding point being made is that Obama can't win because certain groups will not vote for him, because he's Black. DOES THAT MEAN THAT HILLARY ONLY WINS BECAUSE SHE'S WHITE? NOW BY A SHOW OF HANDS, WHO SAID RACISM DOESN'T EXIST! I WOULD HATE TO BE THE FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT ONLY BECAUSE OF RACISM! I GUESS ONE GOOD WAY TO LOOK AT IT IS THAT WE ARE PROGRESSING IN SEXISM!

How is it a JOKE to mock JFK?
Who made Rev. Wrong the criticizer in chief? Why do you in the media give a forum to this devisive sociopath?

Thank you thinking person:

John Hagee??? Why isn't his name and rant posted all over the media.
Things that make you go hmmmmm????
How dare McCain comment on Rev. Wright?

McCain is old...72 years old and has cancer. Why is this not an issue. C'mon
Why would anyone vote for him?

To tejasoutlaw:

You are really confused. Both candidates are slinging mud. The problem with the Clintons is they were so arrogant in the beginning of this race thinking they would win it easily, they didn't plan. They didn't underestimate Obama, they underestimated the people. Assumed it was in the bag. So many people know the game they play and how dirty they get when they are about to lose. It's gonna get even dirtier.
I'm a Democrat to the end but the Clintons should've planned better for this one.

"I am not running for the Oval Office; I've been running for Jesus for a long, long time, and I'm not tired yet."

If this were true, then he would not be in the media trying to defend himself.

Obama would also be able to answer a question about faith without stuttering so much.

Vukasika wrote: "Steve, he served America for 6 years. I'm willing to gamble here that he served about 7 years more than you have."

hey Vuk... not for nothing, but, just because he served in the military doesn't make him a saint.

Heck... Timothy McVeigh was a former decorated United States Army soldier...

I miss Jessie Jackson.

James,

You apologists for racism and hate are truly astounding.

If Wright attended LBJ after a surgery, I'd say LBJ made a narrow escape through the grace of God.

And for the millionth time, Lee Harvey Oswald was a Marine. Serving in the US armed forces -- especially when the draft was in force -- is not a permanent get-out-of-jail-free card for racist lunatics.

It's a tired excuse. Please stop using it.

Is America and any white person just pure evil just because of skin color?

Extremism speech distorts truth because it is motivated by personal agenda.

Why is no mention made of all the white people who have made the ultimate sacrifice so black people could have the freedoms they deserved?

I have white ancestors who died in the civil war trying to offer the black man, woman, and child their God-given right to freedom and to correct wrongs done to them. They were evil? They tried to keep black people down? Was that while they were gurgling in their own blood or when a bullet stole any hope of freedom or future from them or their families? Was that during the time they risked great harm or death to themselves and those they loved helping escaped slaves go north?

If we're going to talk history, it would seem the Reverand's view is, at the least, revisionist. We can't lump any one group of people together and label them because that is the height of ignorance. Yet, it would seem that truth is suspended when speaking of whites within this subject.

Much evil and much good is done by people of all different colors of skin. However, you cannot ask thinking people to suspend reality and substitute diatribe for truly thoughtful analysis and accuracy.

My ancestors thought freedom was worth dying for, so they died. This allowed black people to move forward. But let's not pretend it didn't cost white people anything.

People who won't vote for Obama are myriad in their reasons. Some will be racist; some will like another candidate's platform better; some will think a person who sits under vitriolic and extremism sermonizing for many years without turning away, may have agendas which are not balanced. That would be a fair reason to thoughtfully analyze the candidate and, perhaps, decide not vote for him. It doesn't make them "haters" but rather "thinkers."

At least today we are still free to ask these questions. I am guilty of being white but you will have to take it up with God. He created me this way.

Racism is an Autobahn of two-way traffic. I would advise anyone to exit and take a slower route of thoughtful, meaningful, and more enriching travel.

So, Jimmy the Greek from way back when, said that Blacks were physically built different (in a positive way) and he was called a racist. Wright says Blacks think differently from Whites and this is okay?? Is there proof of that? Obama needs to tell his uncle to keep his opinion to himself. Again, Rev. inspirational can't help himself, he has to insult at least someone in his speeches--this should get Obama votes in MA.

I applaude Rev.Wright for helping Hillary's campaign! Keep up the good work Rev. Wright! What a guy!

"Good lord, how much do we need to hear. Wright basically said that Africans have different brains than Europeans. All Africans are right brained; all Europeans are left brained. Had a white person said anything close to this, it would be a scandal.

Wright is a racist, literally. this man is a confused disgrace. Did you mention that Wright said Michelle would be the first black woman to sleep in the White House legally? OMG!"

hmmm the remarks on cognitive and adult learning were studies dating back to the late 50's and 60's. Africans and Europeans dont have different brains, let's get real!. . They have different ways of learning. Different is not dificient it is just different. I would also submit that this difference is readily evident in our childrens early learning as well. So many are categorized as ADD, instead of probably they learn different!

People will think what they want to, and hear what they want to hear. I myself know what i see everyday and know what it is like to be a minority living in america. What he has shared is mild compared to the speeches of MLK for his time. Taken in their proper context in the 50's and 60s those were HIGHLY INFLAMMATORY!

just saying
