Here is a throwback photo of Rev. Jeremiah Wright with Slick Willy at the White House back in 1998 that has surfaced yesterday. Although the mainstream media are doing everything they can to paint Pastor Wright as a fanatic on the fringe of society, Wright has long been a prominent pastor on the American landscape, who’s been embraced by high-ranking public officials – black and white.

    I did peep that. they are all the same. all of them!!!

    but Hillary scares me the most.

  • Candylicker

    Was Rev Wright a racist then?

  • Stronger than Ever

    Bill Clinton is half black

  • Misty Knight

    This crap has pissmed me off till no end; why do white folks get so irate when somebody criticizes America? why is that “unpatrioctic” this whole hype over rev Wright is such BS

  • JRiddles

    @Heather, I read the story since yesterday. Same group different color…not really. Same political affiliation, different person. I’m not a democrat and I stand behind Barack Obama!

  • lovely and amazing

    Speak Misty Knight.

    Obama 2008!

    Yes We Can!

  • JRiddles

    @Heather…you got the story from somewhere, right? Or was that your personal picture you took in 1998?

    Anyways, their ideologies aren’t the same. Please listen to Obama’s speech on the cost of war!

  • me888

    Heather, CYAD, and get off your high horse. That story has been all over the place since yesterday.

  • GZee

    The media is is trying to make it seem as if the pastor is some kind of paranoid crackpot by him suggesting that the government created AIDS.

    Looking at history, it was the government that allowed the Tuskegee experiment, where they observed 200 black men with syphillis, did not give them medicine just to see what would happen. They let those men DIE a slow death and they jsut WATCHED. Or how about the indigenous indians, they were given smallpox infested blankets and were killed off? Or how theyt became complicit in narcotics trafficking in the midst of its own “Just Say No” to drugs movement.

    Those are just a COUPLE of examples…..so is the pastors comment about the creation of AIDS really so far fetched?

    I have NO respect for Hillary’s campaign tactics!

  • JRiddles

    @me888, CYAD…spell that one out for me.

  • GZee

    It’s a damn shame that we can’t have a basic conversation without name-calling. Classy.

  • BellaY

    OBAMA 08!!!

  • Bohwe

    We have choices in life, just because drugs were put in the black communities didn’t mean people had to waste money (which could have been used to support their families) and buy them, and become addicted to drugs. We can’t blame drug abuse on the government, because we have a choice individually on right and wrong. I can look at alcohol all day, but that doesn’t mean I’ll take a sip.

  • http://aol jo jo boo boo

    when in doubt blame… the white man, you’ll always get a amen…

  • the truth is in me

    bohwe, i disagree with your comment…Yes the government is to blame for all of the poverty in the black neighborhoods.

    When you keep a group of people down for more than 200 years, not alow them to go to college, keep them from getting jobs, force them to live in ghettos and stick drugs in the hoods..what do you think you are going to get?!

    My Grandmother is 87 years old, she was not able to attend college…therefore my mother and father didn’t go to college because simply,there was not alot of awareness out there about getting a good education, and even if you did, you weren’t getting a job because white people were not hiring you. So this is HOW YOU GET PEOLPLE LIKE ME THAT ARE FIRST GENERATION BLACK COLLEGE GRADUATES. sure we have HBCU’s but lets face it, many african americans were too poor to attend college.

  • the truth is in me

    we as black people are just starting to climb out of a large grave that has been dug for us…

  • the truth is in me

    All of the problems that are going on in the black communities are generational problems, and it is going to take a long time to fix them and it is going to have to start with changing the government. When you give more money to the poor communities,and secure the basic needs of children all across of the u.s., then we can be able to change the attitudes and beliefs of the children, and adults in these communities.

  • astralgirl01

    All of us should send it in to CNN as a reader-submitted news…

  • beautiful b (really)

    hmm.

    hmmm.

    are we surprised…i mean really? can the clintons do anymore to shock us?

  • ray ray

    Thanks for posting this. It is very convenient for the “race issue” to flare up just before the race in Penn. As many of you knowk, it’s not a coincidence. It plays very well in a state where there are so many concrete ethnic divisions. After the vote, I’m expect the mythological narrative that Pennsylvania is some sign about how all of America feels about Barack’s candidacy and remember that this whole thing is an attempt to woo superdelegates. It’s the only way to win at this point. Politics is a cold game.

    peace

  • terrence

    This is no surprise. Whites talk just like the good ole rev. Listen around am radio and search the net. Hell, white folks speak more vehement toward their country than anybody else. Hell, most of the men dying are white and from the sticks.

    China and India are waiting. When the oil starts to dry up, america will fall. So we better get our game right quick and plan an exit strategy.\

    No more children for us black folks. Lets just work with what we have. Yeah,I know how it sounds but in the end you’ll thank youself.

    America has be comprimised.

  • memchee

    stop playing………bill clinton DID NOT join or remain rev. wright’s congregation for 20 years.

    bill clinton DID NOT have chelsa christianed by rev. wright.

    AND bill clinton DID NOT have rev. wright perform his matrimony.

    This ish is gonna disillusion too many voters of the democratic party.

    Obama was/is irresponsible to energize so many voters without bringing this potential issue to the forefront in the beginning of his campaign.

    Republicans nor Democratics can spin this against the common sense of decent people.

    Recognize, he may keep many of your votes but he’s going to lose the independents that would have swung the general election in his favor.

    I was never an obama support but I did see him winning the democratic primary election.

    He can not, will not win the general election having associations to a radical hate monger any more than a politican having similiar close associations to kkk grand leader!

    I think we all need to think responsibily and take in the long term effects of going forward with a candidate with obama’s past, current, and future connections.

  • Chris Jones

    Did anyone listen to the sermon? Honestly, I am just now learning that the controversial “chicken’s have come home to roost” was a quote from another diplomat who happens to be white.

    Seemed to me that Rev. Wright was just expounding upon that statment by providing historical context. I found it interesting that when he referred to the US he consistently used the word “we”, not generally a term used in hate speech. Think its a sad day when years later after a sermon any of our political candidates become vulnerable as a result of listening to the discourse of a pastor who is critical of his society and it’s role alignment with God under a biblical context. Even if one disagrees with a pastor over one issue, it’s not always prudent to be church hopping as a result of what seemed to be a view on a political quote from a official of the government

    Very disappointing that Hillary herself didn’t just come out and quash this whole mess but I guess why would she screw up such an opportunity to scare mainstream citizens from voting for her opposition.

    BTW…Don’t think anyone should acquire any Intellectual Property rights for pointing something out on a site that is viewed by at least 10mm people a day. And, please stop cursing at folks who disagree w/you.

  • AN OLDER ADULT

    PLEASE LET ME SHAR SOMETHING WITH YOU YOUNG PEOPLE.I LIVED DURING THE HARSH TIMES OF CIVIL RIGHTS IT WAS A TIME THEY YOU SOULD NEVER, EVER IMAGINE.THIS COUNTRY HAS DONE A LOT OF WRONG STUFF TO PEOPLE.MY FAMILY NEVER GOT AN APOLOGY FOR THE ATEMPT TO BETTER OURSELVES AND BUILD A HOME IN A NEIGHBORHOOD BLACKS COULD NOT AFFORD WHEN IT WAS ATTEMPTED TO BE BURNED.I COULD NOT WALK OUT OF MY FRONT DOOOR,WE LEFT FROM THE SIDE NEAR THE GARAGE AND WENT TO THE CAR BECAUSE NEIGHBORS WOULD THROW SODA BOTTLES AT US,MY BROTHER AND I COULD NOT WALK T SCHOOL,MY MOTHER WAS A NURSE AND MY DADDY WORKED AT POST OFFICE MAILROOM CLEANER THEN THEY HAD NO BLACK LETTER CARRIERS BLACKS ONLY WORKED CUSTODIAL JOBS AT THE POST OFFICE.A WOMAN WITH AN EDUCATION COULD GET A BETTER JOB THAT IS WHY THEN YOU SAW MORE WOMEN BECOMING TEACHERS AND NURSES OR SOCIAL WORKERS.

    I HAVE HAD TO WORK HARD AND NOT BEING BITTER,MY BROTHER WHO IS OLDER STILL TO THIS DAY HATES WHITE PEOPLE,I DO NOT AGREE WITH HIM AND I HAVE AGRANDSON WHO IS MIXED HIS GRANMOTHER IS A WHITE WOMAN AND I COULD NOT HAVE PICKED A BETTER MOTHER IN LAW FOR MY SON.YOU SEE I UNDERSTAND OBAMA COMPLETELY AND I UNDERSTAN REV.WRIGHT TOO!!!!

    IN LISTENING TO HOW PRESIDENT OBAMA PATIENTLY COMMUNICATES WO PEOPLE EVEN UNDER PRESSURE, HE NEVER SEEEMS TO BE ANGRY,SOMETIMES HE SEEMS TIRED AND RIGHTFULLY SO CAN YOU IMAGINE HOW MUCH LOVE HE IMPARTS TO HIS FAMILY.HE IS NOT AN ANGRY BLACK MAN OR A BIGOTED WHITE MAN.hE IS BARACK OBAMA A BLESSING TO THIS COUNTRY.

    JESUS WOULD NEVER REJECT THE PERSON,HE DIED FOR REV.WRIGHT JUST LIKE HE DID YOU ALL OF US.THAT WAS AN HONORABLE THING TO DO. jUST LIKE DAVID IN THE BIBLE WHO HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO KILL SAUL(THROW HIM UNDER BUS) AND DAVID SAID WHO AM I TO GO AGAINST GODS ANOINTED.IF THAT MAN OF GOD PRAYED ONE PRAYER WITH OR FOR BARACK OBAMA OR ANYONE YOU BETTER LEAVE HIM IN THE LORDS HAND, AND WHO SAID OBAMA DOES NOT HAVE JUDGEMENT YOU BETTER GET YOUR BIBLE AND STUDY SOLOMON OBAMA USED THE WISDOM OF GOD IN HANDLING THIS SITUATION AND IF AND WHEN WE ALL GET TO HEAVEN WE WILL HAVE TO ACCOUNT FOR OUR OWN WORDS,OBAMA WILL NOT HAVE TO STAND FOR REV.WRIGHT NOR WILL REV.WRIGHT BE ABLE TO STAND FOR HIM.

    THE WORD OF GOD SAYS TOUCH NOT MINE ANOINTED AND DO MY PROPHET NO HAR. GOD IS LISTENING TO AND HAS HEARD EVERY EVIL WORD DECLARED ABOUT OBAMA AND REV.WRIGHT.

    LET ME SAY THIS IN CLOSING ALWAYS REMEMBER “GODS MERCY ALWAYS,ALWAYS TRIUMPHS OVER JUDGEMENT”

    OBAMA IS ALSO A PRAYING MAN I GUARANTEE YOU THAT WHEN THE MEDIA SAID REV.WRIGHT WAS ON VACATION ON THAT MAN IS SOMEWHERE PRAYING AND OBAMA STAYED UPP HIMSELF AND WROTE THAT SPEECH UNTIL 2AM NO AIDE WROTE IT, YOU BETTER KNOW HE GOT GODS WISDOM.

    WHEN PEOPLE DON’T KNOW THE WORD OF GOD, DON’T HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT, THEY DON’T AND CAN’T UNDERSTAND THE WAYS AND WILL OF GOD.

    THIS LAST STATEMENT IS FOR THE SUPPORTERS OF OBAMA ONLY…WHEN SOMEONE SAID TO ME THAT THEY MIGHT KILL OBAMA WHEN HE WON IOWA..I SAID THEN THEY ARE NOT GOING TO USE GUNS THIS TIME LIKE PEOPLE OF CHANGE AND UNIFICATION IN THE PAST, THEY ARE GOING TO USE THE MEDIA AND THE INTERNET AND IF FOX NEWS CABLE NETWORK COULD GET A FIRING SQUAD AND PERSONALLY MURDER OBAMA THEY WOULD DO IT. THEY HATE THE RACISM REMARKS BECAUSE IT EXPOSES WHO THEY REALLY ARE,NOT REV.WRIGHT.A BITE DOG WILL HOLLER.THEY ARE SO BUSY TRYING TO CLOUD YOUR MINDS ABOUT OBAMA SO YOU YOUNG PEOPLE CAN’T REALLY SEEE WHO THEY ARE.

    LISTENTO THEIR TONE WHEN THEY SPEAK OF OBAMA VERY HATEFUL, VERY HATEFUL.

    GOD BLESS YOU ALL CHILDREN AND PAY ATTENTION!!!!!

    P.S. GUESS WHAT TRINITY UNITED CHURCH OF CHURCH GOT SOME STRONG PRAY WARRIORS IN THAT CHURCH MY COUSINS ATTENDS,KEEP MESSING WITH REV.WRIGHT AND OBAMA.YOU ALL DON’T BELIEVE FAT MEAT IS GREASY AND GOD IS NOT MOCKED WHATSOEVER A MAN SOWETH THAT TOO HE SHALL REAPED, MANY OF YOU YOUNG WHITE PEOPLE HAVE NOT BEEN TAUGHT THE FEAR OF GOD MANY YOUNG BLACKS KNOW BECAUSE IT IS OUR HERITAGE HE DELIVERED US FROM SLAVERY AND OPPRESSSION WEHN YOU WERE OUR OPPRESSORS SO WE LEARNED TO FERA THE LORD AS A PEOPLE.

  • Uncle Tom

    Im telling ya’ll, white people will kill Obama before they let a black man become the most powerful man on earth, even if he does win, they gonna try and change the constitution to give the president less power.

  • Uncle Tom

    @Heather, that reverend has sung Obamas ship!

  • Uncle Tom

    Oops, thats “sunk”

  • MeMees

    reason I dont trust preachers. People show up to hear one person give an opinion that anyone can have and then give this person a round of applause. They go on ranting, raving in the mists of an excited ground then say something stupid cause everyone WILL clap. Afew good clips doesn’t excuse what he said.

  • lovely and amazing

    This is just more white liberal racism and double standard.

    White liberals are legitmized by appropriating black culture, wearing African garb, attending black church, and having progressive blacks as friends.

    But a black people are deemed counter-cultural outcasts and racists when we value the broad continuum of our heritage.

    Only black people are encouraged to disown aspects of blackness and black associates in order to earn the favor of white people.

    Obama 2008!

    Yes We Can!

  • http://Lycos Monotheistic Proof

    No more distractions, with the Reverend smoke screen. We know who is humanistic and who is a racist. Back to the business of winning.

    We are in the lead, and coming off another big win. The Super Del’s are in place and our focus will remove all further hope from the Clinton and Mc Cain Camps.

    It’s definitely not her last greasy attempt at reverse psychology on a racist platform. They are at the chalk board as I type. But these stories are becoming such a familiar pattern of freakish coincidence that even the slower voter will pick up on the source.

    With every move forward we know Hillary is willing to sacrifice her parties chances for the presidency and the country’s future to prevent her loss in an election she can’t win.

    She has all ready destroyed party loyalty and sided with the GOP to gain votes. What a strategic genius this one is. Not the candidate I want running the nation. Nader before Hillary!!!

    Vote Obama in 2008!!

    The next great leader of the finally free world!!

  • http://Lycos Monotheistic Proof

    BTW

    Off of Obama and on to Wright who actually made the comment, when did we become responsible for everyone’s choices on how to use free speech. We all have someone we know and love that has comments that make us sick to our stomach but we would die tomorrow for them just the same if we had too.

    Black people when did we accept this guilt complex? Hillary has shown to run an obviously racist campaign and Mc Cain’s TV network support goes with out saying. It’s just not shocking to even hear a racist siding with Mc Cain it has happened all to frequently. Obama is not racist and loves his country and it shows.

    Besides what did the every day preacher man say in his church that was so truly off base and with out foundation. If some one could send the full clip I would greatly appreciate it.

    Let’s stop pretending America is perfect. For those suffering from any illness we know that denial has never helped us get better. It works the same for a group of people specifically a country. So why feed into the belief that America is Utopia when it could obviously be a much better place. It’s funny that when talking about black America many of us understand this, but the America responsible for our well being is not at all accountable.

    Even from the clips I have seen, I don’t completely agree with him. However I do believe there is a strong base for some of his commentary.

    Just because the truth is racist doesn’t mean you are racist for saying the truth.

    Why do we try so hard to make close minded white’s comfortable with us. I love America and I do believe we are blessed to have what is great about it so you can’t challenge me on patriotism. I will vote for Obama because he is our best chance of making a stronger country.

    But any man living here with out control, knows there is work to be done.

    Vote Obama 2008!!!

    A President with loyalty and Integrity!!!

  • fern

    Someone has to deal with race!

  • thatbrutha

    oNLY THE MEDIA WOULD FAIL TO TALK ABOUT WRIGHTS PAST.

    Was Wright racist then? Who in the hell said that complete and total idiot, aqbout as dumb as a bag of rocks.

    Wright is the same man, and if you listened to the sound bite he said WE. What is he hating on self?

    You people are sheep being led to slaughter.

  • Morgab

    definitely feelin the love for Clinton.

  • Keisha

    Obama is more white than black. He was raised in Hawaii and Indonesia. His father was from Kenya with no slave bloodline. How he even relates to this kind reverend is beyond me.

  • http://Lycos Monotheistic Proof

    Help me out, if raised in Hawaii and Indonesia how does that lead to him being more white than black? Kenyan father and White mother equals 50% black and 50% white.

  • http://Lycos Monotheistic Proof

    Obama 2008

    The intelligent choice!

  • thatbrutha

    keisha you are a fool, ignorant coon.

    See this is the problem with black people today they don’t understand what blackness is. ITs not 106 and park or buying the lateste ghetto threads or coming from some hood. You can be black and be from france, you can be black and never heard tupac before.

    the man is black and if you open your ear you may learn something.

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOdlnzkeoyQ Diva08

    here is the full clip of one of obamas pastor’s sermon. I believe it is when he said god damn AMERICA. Here is the full clip that the media dosent wnat us to see. NOW ITS OBVIOUS WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO DO TO OBAMA. IT MAKES ME SICK!

  • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOdlnzkeoyQ Diva08

    my bad lol

  • http://Lycos Monotheistic Proof

    Thanks Diva08,

    I’m done watching Fox news till they can respect all their viewers.

  • Research Please!!!

    My People, can someone please research this!!! They say that the owner/CEO of the racist and very questionable FOX news has a daughter who married an African man from Ghana, Is this true?? And has two Granddaughters with same mix as Obama? This shocked the hell out of me when I was told this. Damn, I’m learning something everyday.

  • Yep

    I see you didn’t use the word “shady” in this post. Make up your mind. Do you hate the Clintons or not?
