Conspiracy Theory: Is Jeremiah Wright Trying To Torpedo Obama’s Campaign?
It sure seems that way given the amount of time Wright continues to spend in the limelight. The man has to know that he and his rather vicious rhetoric are kryptonite for Obama’s unity-themed campaign, yet again and again he grants interviews and addresses the public during a crucial time for Obama’s campaign.
I won’t accuse Wright of being stupid (crazy, maybe, but not stupid), so this has to be calculated. But what end might be served by Wright taking out Obama’s chance at the White House?
Well, think about it. What is Rev. Wright’s, and an entire generation of “civil rights” leaders’, bread and butter? Conflict between minority Americans and majority (white) Americans. The “us vs. them” mentality. As long as minorities think they’re members of an oppressed victim class they’ll flock to people like Rev. Wright, and Wright profits.
The same is true of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Louis Farrakhan, etc.
But if Barack Obama - a member in good standing of Wright’s own flock - gets elected President of the United States it becomes increasingly difficult to sell the “we’re victims” mentality. And if Wright, Jackson, Sharpton, etc. can’t sell that, they’re out of a job.
Is this really Wright’s motivation? Nobody except Wright himself can know that, but I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that it’s fairly close to the mark.
