How many people actually listened to the whole Rev. Wright sermon?

Question

If so please list a few of the racist things he said.

I'm so tired of people saying he's racist. I'm so tired of people saying Obama had to dennounce him.

He's from an era of Martin Luther King, when cops unleashed dogs on Black people for walking down the street. He's simply saying what majority of African Americans no to be true about the hate many White people have towards Blacks. Its something that America has avoided addressing because the pain and roots run so deep.

But, I have a question for any White person. When is the last time you have see a flag of hate for White people waived in your neighboorhood? In Florida I see a Confederate flag everyday. Everyday I encounter people who don't know me, but hate me simply because I'm Black. Am I wrong for talking about the pain that causes me? Am I wrong for being upset with racist remarks towards me? Well neither is Rev. Wright.

5,000 cheering members of his Church agreed with him, are they all racist too?

Answer 1

i make it a habit of never listening to Reverends they are just like politicians, power hungry humans looking to control/infringe on other peoples rights.  Reverends and Politicians are basically latent school yard bullies and need to be stood up to.  This includes white preachers and politicians.  I am all for equal rights and i am part-german and part-north american indian.  i look at it that if they can trample one race they can trample any race.  Look at Ceasar's murder of german prisoners of war in the movie The Fall of the Roman Empire or some other movie, injustice can happen too anybody.

Answer 2

First the stars and bars(flag) is also a part of our history.To forget it is also to forget what it once stood for.(even though now it also stands for a rebellious nature) I dont care what era hes from,he should have knew better and stopped living in the past.As far as wounds running deep,give me a break,I'm Irish,and I seem to remember Britain giving South Africa back,why not Ireland?

Let me tell you a little(true story)

I used to deliver auto parts in South Central(L.A.) before the riots.I was told by an eight year old black child as I entered the Establishment,that my money wasnt good there.I was delivering a part to that shop and I looked up at his mother,whos shop the part was for and asked her"did she teach him that,because maybe I dont want to sell the part to you"....So my dear racism doesnt just come in white,so dont feed me you bullsh!t and tell me its candy.Hes a racist and the David Duke of the 21st century,his biggest sin is using God to do it!

Answer 3

sory i was talking on the fone with elvis...

Answer 4

if 5,000 whites showed up anywhere and made the same comments, replacing white with black, it would a racist issue. you relate the flag to racism, not the people who fly it. a black fellow in my neighborhood wears a confederate flag jacket when riding his motorcycle. you have never, never been a slave so that is a crappy argument. and although wright was raised in an era of blantant racism, so was colin powell, so have several black leaders who do not buy into his hate. and the hate you feel each day, you think whites are not subjest to that. wright was doing it regularly. you sound so uninformed that you did not need to ask this question, you already have the answer. and only 8% approval for wright shows he is not main stream.wright is a w***e for all the haters and every person who sat and listened for any length of time to that is also.

Answer 5

"5,000 cheering members of his Church agreed with him, are they all racist too?".  Yes.. ever heard of brain washing?

Racial hatred isn’t a white thing. It would be absolutely absurd (and racist too) to assume that only white males can be bigots. Racism is not limited to one group. The SPLC, even as liberal as they are, also lists black racist groups that advocate the same hatred against whites that the white supremacists advocate against blacks. These black racist groups advocate separatism and use white people (and Jews) as a scapegoat for frustrated African Americans. Most of these black hate groups were created in response to the discrimination, Jim Crow laws, and other forms of bigotry that blacks had put up with in America for hundreds of years. Although there is no excuse for being a racist, that is the reason for their racism, nonetheless.

There are few black hate groups, however, they are somewhat more dangerous than the white hate groups listed above simply because they are allowed media time and given chances to speak at college campuses. My complaint with the tolerance here is that they don’t have the same hate watch for black bigots that they do for the white supremacist groups. There are many cases where blacks attack whites simply because they are white. Black separatists typically oppose integration and racial intermarriage, and they want separate institutions -- or even a separate nation -- for blacks, just as the white hate groups do.

a. Black Panther Party: This was probably one of the most violently racist black groups. It was founded in 1966 and they sold their organization as one that promoted self-help and keeping drugs out of the black communities, but they developed the ‘don’t need whitey’s help’ attitude. On the one hand, they advocated personal responsibility, while at the same time; they espouse racial hatred and separatism. Like white hate groups, such as the KKK, they try to mainstream their racial agenda. The original Panthers combined militant Black Nationalism with Marxism and advocated black empowerment and self-defense, often through confrontation. The only difference between them and the Nation of Islam is they don’t really have a religious element to it.

b. Nation of Islam: This is a black form of Nazism. The prominent leader is Louis Farrakhan who has referred to Jews and Korean Shop owners as ‘bloodsuckers’, called the Catholic Church ‘racist crackers’ and according to the ADL, once said g*y men were ‘a woman trapped in a man’s body’. He recently published a book called ‘The Secret Relationship between Jews and Blacks’ where he tries to argue that Jews were responsible for the enslavement of African Americans. And just like the white hate groups, he tries to mainstream his views and deny his hateful statements.

Edit:.  This forum will not allow me to eloborate as much as i want, not will you accept the facts.  there are just as much violence from both sides of the race.  Black race is not any better than white or any other race when it comes to violence .. Everyone has heard about the three White teenagers in Michigan who hopped a freight train, accidentally got off in a Black neighborhood in the city of Flint, and were attacked by a gang of Blacks while trying to find a telephone so they could call their parents. The Blacks beat and robbed all three White youngsters, stripped and raped the White girl, then shot all three of the young Whites in the head, execution style, leaving them for dead. One of them, a 14-year-old boy, did in fact die from his gunshot wound. The other two, a 15-year-old boy and the 14-year-old girl who had been beaten, stripped, and raped, played dead after being shot, and eventually they escaped.

I have more examples.. but why bother.. blacks can't be racist.. only white folks can be.. and if you guess i am white, you would be wrong!

Answer 6

Not me.  I can't stand to listen to someone go on and on bashing other people.  I'd rather listen to a pack of dogs bark.

Answer 7

unfortunately some people don't even know their racist and won't understand what you mean.

Answer 8

I'm voting for Obama because Ron Paul has no chance.
