Obama’s Crazy Pastor Puts His Foot In His Mouth
The fact that Obama belongs to this guy’s church (Reverend Jeremiah Wright) makes me wonder why everyone is trying to prove he’s a Muslim.
More on Rev. Wright:
Some conservative critics say that Wright’s Black liberation theology promotes “a sort of racial exclusivity”.[9] Wright has rejected this notion by saying that “The African-centered point of view does not assume superiority, nor does it assume separatism. It assumes Africans speaking for themselves as subjects in history, not objects in history.”[10]
During the course of the 2008 presidential campaign, Wright has also attracted controversy for his association with Louis Farrakhan, leader of the Nation of Islam.[11] Wright travelled to Libya with Farrakhan in the 1980s. In 2007, Wright addressed this by saying “When [Obama’s] enemies find out that in 1984 I went to Tripoli to visit Colonel Gadaffi with Farrakhan, a lot of his Jewish support will dry up quicker than a snowball in hell.”[12] In 2007, Trumpet Magazine (published and edited by Wright’s daughter) presented the Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter Award to Farrakhan, whom it said “truly epitomized greatness.”[13] Wright is quoted in the magazine offering praise of Farrakhan “as one of the 20th and. 21st century giants of the African American religious experience” and also praised Farrakhan’s “integrity and honesty.”[14] Obama, on the other hand, has strongly criticized Farrakhan.[15]
In addition, Wright has said that Zionism has an element of “white racism”, (For its part, the Anti-Defamation League says it has no evidence of any anti-Semitism by Mr. Wright,) and that the attacks on 9/11 were a consequence of violent American policies and proved that “people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just ‘disappeared’ as the Great White West went on its merry way of ignoring Black concerns.”[16]
Got that? 9/11 was our fault. Because we’re racist.
Personally, I don’t care if Obama is a Muslim or not. I do care that Obama has been attending this man’s church for the last two decades and thus tacitly endorsing his message of racial division and hatred.
