“One hundred years of racism. It's not going to go away."

Rev. Wright, National Press Club, 04/28/08.

Now, I know, that as an accountant, I’m not supposed to work with numbers unless I have my calculator firmly in hand. But, if you’ll indulge me for a second, let’s look at this statement by Rev. Wright. First, notice the date. April 28^th, 2008. Ok, so, according to the good Rev’s statement, racism in America stated 100 years ago. Now, if I’ve done the math correctly, that would indicate that Rev. Wright believes that racism started in American around 1908.

I’m sure that Abraham Lincoln will be happy to hear that. And, to quote Rev. Wright, did all those American’s that died in the civil war “die over a lie”?

I’m referencing an article that is on the Wall Street Journal’s web site. In the article it reports that Rev. Wright stated that “…that criticisms of his provocative sermons, and questions about his patriotism, were "an attack on the black church."”.

Well, not actually, Rev. Wright, but good job trying to deflect the real issue here. All the criticism was directed at you, not the black church. Nice try in attempting to say that it’s all our fault for not understanding you, rather than taking responsibility for what you actually said. It interesting really, when you look at it, because rather than defend what he said, he’s attacking us for our interpretation of his words. Or, more importantly, rather than apologize for his comments and how they were interpreted, he’s blaming us for our supposed ignorance of “black liberation theology” and saying that any attacks upon his comments are basically racist.

Now, I would like you to think about what Don Imus said and what happened to him, and then consider what the Rev. Wright has said and done. Do you think the punishment in these two cases has been just and equal? Don Imus, lost his job for months and months at the cost of millions of dollars of income. Just under one month later, Rev. Wright is out on the liberal talk circuit, getting cream puff interviews and being cheered as he essentially continues to drive wedges between the races.

Hey, do me a favor, and go out to vote for Obama. Because if he is elected, Rev. Wright has pledged “"I'm coming after you (Obama).'' The minister said he had issues with U.S. policies.”. Good luck with uniting the races if this nut bag is one of the advisors in the White House.

You know, you just have to love it. Obama says he’s not going to let his White House be run by lobbyists, but this fucking idiot is going to get a free pass inside anytime he wants. Perfect, just fucking perfect.
