Reverend Jeremiah Wright is at it again, doing what he best: stirring up controversy. In an interview at the Hampton University Ministers' Conference, Wright blamed the Jews for not allowing him to talk to President Obama.
"Them Jews ain't going to let him talk to me. I told my baby daughter that he'll talk to me in five years when he's a lame duck or in eight years when he's out of office...They will not let him to talk to somebody who calls a spade what it is. ... I said from the beginning: He's a politician; I'm a pastor. He's got to do what politicians do."
Of the falling out with Obama, as well as some of Obama's foreign policy decisions in regards to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, Wright said, "Of course I voted for him -- he's my son. I'm proud of him. I've got five biological kids. They all make mistakes and bad choices. I haven't stopped loving any of them. He made mistakes. He made bad choices. I've got kids who listen to their friends. He listened to those around him. I did not disown him." The Tribune has the full story.

"Them Jews".....what a tool.
Not to get into too much stereotyping or pointless racial tension, but those mean, evil Jews were a significant part of the Civil Rights movement of the mid 20th century. Some even died in the Deep South during efforts that helped ensure that members of Wright's generation and its descendants could exercise their basic rights.
I don't pretend to understand Wright's apparently deep sense of anger, nor his political views--I can't imagine being a black man in the USA, especially before the late 20th century--but I do find these comments more than a bit ignorant, which is probably the most disturbing thing.
But they, there are conspiracy nuts everywhere.
When did he say this? I hope it was before the political murder at the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington D.C. Not thet comments are sane in any context. This is why I think the Black community needs far less religion as Wright is one of the more progressive ones
He's got the Farrakhan syndrome...when out of the media spotlight and trying to get back in, mention Jews. The press eats that stuff up, reporting on it as if it had some significance.
Don't you know this all but proves that Obama is a Marxist-Nazi-Islamic-Black Panther-vegetarian-soccer loving-anti-American-antichrist? Get with the program, dude.
Or perhaps you hate America, too.
And I kick pigeons...
(a tip of the hat to Hannibal Burress)
I have pigeons, they are sky roaches. The only thing worse than pigeons are flies!
opps "hate"
LOL. I liked it better when you said you "have" pigeons.
