An epidemic of black preacher bigotry
First piece of advice to Jeremiah Wright: It’s probably not a good idea to accuse someone else of being “stuck on stupid” when the “stupid” they are stuck to is…you.
Second piece of advice: Funerals are supposed to be about the person being eulogized, not the self-aggrandizing eulogizer. Or maybe that’s just a racist norm I’m oppressively imposing on his diverse culture.
Disgusting:
The Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., former pastor of Barack Obama’s Trinity United Church of Christ, has kept a low profile since some of his sermons landed him in the middle of a political firestorm.
But on Saturday Wright made his first extensive public remarks since the controversy began as he paid tribute to his friend, former appellate judge R. Eugene Pincham, a congregant at Trinity since 1987.
While discussing “seven lessons the judge taught me,” Wright never mentioned church member Obama, who has rejected some of Wright’s comments, which included denunciations of America for its mistreatment of black people and claims that America’s promotion of terrorism abroad helped prompt the 9/11 attacks. But Wright did take the opportunity to bash some of the critics of his controversial statements, including Fox News personalities Bill O’Reilly and Sean Hannity.
And while Wright made no mention of terrorism, he did revisit the topic of America’s mistreatment of blacks, saying America’s founding fathers “planted slavery and white supremacy in the DNA of this republic,” and adding that Thomas Jefferson wrote, “ ‘God would punish America for the sin of slavery.’ I guess that makes Thomas Jefferson unpatriotic,” he said to the cheers of the congregation…Escalating into full-preaching mode, Wright thundered, “Fox News can’t understand that. [Bill] O’Reilly will never get that. Sean Hannity’s stupid fantasy will keep him forever stuck on stupid when it comes to comprehending how you can love a brother who does not believe what you believe. [Pincham’s] faith was a faith in a God who loved the whole world not just one country or one creed.”
At that point, congregants nearly drowned Wright out with a booming standing ovation.
Wright also referred to Fox News as “Fix News.”
Third item on the agenda: Meet yet another loony black preacher, Pastor Mack King Carter of New Mount Olive Church in Fort Lauderdale (big hat tip – Marked Manner). In this video of his sermon last week, the preacher’s about to pop a vein as he screeches and howls that “the thing about the Jeremiah Wright thing is White People have never repented of their transgressions:”
As you’ll note, he’s also a big fan of Nat Turner. And of shouting the n-word at the top of his lungs.
Bitter much?

These bigots really need to listen to themselves sometime. Or maybe they should just stick to preaching the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John.
Typical black nationalist propaganda. How much longer are the blacks going to put up with leaders like Wright, Sharpton, and Jackson?
Since when has the left ever left politics out of funerals and memorial services?
I’m sure if we stand near MLK’s grave we’ll hear:
1) A voice begging “Please pile more dirt on top of me!”
2) A distinct spinning sound.
From now on let’s just refer to MLK as ‘Pinwheel Marty’ and be done with it.
Prerequisite to getting “Reverendhood” be a racist.
Squealing in the Name of the Lord.
Wright is Wrong.
He is also a typical black man.
Thanks for covering this Michelle.
I’ve said it before:
Most black churches are truly like this. They don’t worship a god, unless it’s themselves. It’s less a church service and more of a “Blame Whitey” rally. (Did you know many black church preachers have no seminary education??)
tsk tsk tsk….we cant tell them that…that would make a “typical white man” like me racist, and it would be too close to the truth.
I dont know why you cant understand, its just their anger and pent up feelings about being slighted, and about slavery, and every other social injustice we’ve thrown upon their backs. It’s our fault, and we should immediately make reparations.
/sarc off
I always find it ironic that the first people to play the race card, like Wright, are usually the ones who first throw out racist, inflammatory comments. The same ones who fuss about the evils of slavery have never experienced it. The same ones who complain about racism are the same ones who actually perpetuate it by the venom in their speeches. And even though i’m not religious anymore, I’m positive that church should be about preaching the good word, and not using it to grandstand and broadcast a purely political message.
Ugh, these race hustlers make me sick.
I call no man ‘holy’ nor ‘reverend’. There is none holy but G-d. I don’t think these men have even read the Bible. What do I know–I’m a typical white judeo-christian person.
Shockingly dishonorable and inappropriate behavior on Wright’s behalf.
It reminds me of that one time that Walter Mondale lost to Norm Coleman in Minnesota. Remember Paul Wellstone’s funeral?
Then why is Rev. Wright using his first ammendment right of freedom of speech. Was this not part of the bill of rights that our founding father’s crafted and therfore would it not also be a racist document full of white supremacy?
This will never be “fixed” until we all grow-up regarding matters of race. Until we can accept a “White Church”, this whole concept of a “Black Church” is obvious, yet completely ignored, racism.
And the whole idea of “racism” is in itself a ruse. It only applies to white people, regardless of what elitists say!
Where blacks excel, like in sports and music, we’re taught it’s because of their skill.
And where whites excel, like sales, marketing, construction, human relations, policing, firefighting, swimming, hockey, political representation, driving, education, science, customer service, business administration, and executive ability, we’re taught that it’s because of white racism. Get the scam? Whites don’t really excell at ANYTHING! Except discrimination!
What would you call one group that excels at a few things, compared to another, that excels at nothing? The answer is…..SUPERIOR.
This is the REAL lesson learned in “Black Churches.”
Believe blacks are supereior to whites? FINE!
Believe whites are superior to blacks IN ANY WAY? It’s off to Hater’s Prison for you! Re-education must be performed to save you from your “hate.”
I can’t say I agree with their words, but I am continually amused by that one move that these preachers enjoy utilizing; the one where they say something “over the top” and then point and look over to someone at the side of the stage, flashing dramatic eyes, as if to say, “that’s right, you heard me, what are you going to do about it?”
LOL!
I don’t give much credence to this guy. He seems second rate compared to the preachers I used to watch occasionally while I was stationed in Norfolk.
As for MLK, he may be on to something. He was turning more and more radical as he faded from the spotlight. Having died when he did, he avoided jumping the shark and being remembered for anything other than the good he did during the early 60’s.
Seems appropriate that Wright gave the eulogy for “Lynch’em” Pincham. Pincham got that nickname when Harold Washington was running for mayor. Pincham stated that any black man who didn’t vote for him (Washington) should be lynched. Birds of a feather.
OMG! I never have apologized for my white transgressions. Let me do it now.
Dear Lord. I apologize for having a job, serving my country, marrying the mother of my children, being sober, never having used drugs and turning my headlights on at sundown. And Lord, I apologize for that right there, and please be with the starvin’ pygmies down there in New Guinea, A-men.
I would argue it’s not a “black church” thing, but a LIBERAL church thing. In many liberal churches (white, black, and otherwise), you get specious theology and rhetoric that blames everything under the sun (read: conservatives, whites, America) for the world’s problems. The thing they ALL have in common is a religion based on the self, rather than a relationship with God and Christ – a religion that requires of them no sacrifice, no self-control or restraint, no deeply reflective examination of their consciences.
That was one of the things that always stood out for me in Wright’s now-infamous sermon. He bemoaned the “killing of innocents” but I’d bet you dinner he never had a discussion about abortion with Barack Obama, or Obama’s refusal to protect living, BORN infants – twice – in voting against the “Born Alive Act” in Illinois.
That’s the kind of half-hearted theology that Wright and the rest preach. And it’s not even theology, it’s spirituality.
There is at least one predominantly black congregation here in Milwaukee, a Lutheran church that is very conservative. While their pastor is white, I’ve heard him on the radio and his theology is pretty sound in as much as it adheres to Luther’s Small Catechism and the like. So not all black churches are like that. And a family friend is a (now retired) black minister and a conservative even more so than I.
Ahem:
An Open Letter to Rev. Lee, Rev. Wright, Mnst. Farrakhan, David Duke, Pat Buchanan, Sen. Obama, and the Obama-inspired Apologists
“…America doesn’t need to begin a great dialogue on race, as this is not about black vs. white.
This is not about Jew vs. Christian vs. Muslim.
This is not about anything remotely difficult to comprehend.
This is about bigots vs. Everyone Else. No dialogue, no excuses.
Lee, Wright, Farakkhan, Duke, Buchanan, and any Obama-inspired apologists?
You’re adults. Get your f*ing acts together…”
Why is it that People of Non Color have heard Martin Luther King. grasped his message and worked to bring King’s Dream to life and the People of Color have rejected that same Dream in favor of shakedown artists and Marxist-revolutionary preaching?
I have lived in DC all my life. This crap has been going on for DECADES! Only because of Obama has this stuff come to national attention. Many, many black people believe in this stuff. Why should they not, white socialists, “civil rights” leaders, and the entertainment industry has screamed this stuff into their ears for a very long time.
BTW, last summer Clinton told a young black audience that the reason for the phenomenal high rates of AIDS among blacks here in DC was not irresponsible behavior, but white racism. It never ends.
Those wacky Democrats, remember Paul Wellstones funeral. Apparently Mr.Obama picked Wrights nice to whitey Sundays.
Does anyone here believe Obama isn’t in lockstep with Wright?
Ask any preacher of any stripe who is calling out the sins of the State/Society/ Big Laundry Pile—
“To bring about the changes you allude to or insinuate as necessary: WHO DIES FIRST and WHAT IS YOUR POSITION IN LINE?”
nuf sed.
Does the media give an accurate picture of anybody in this Clown Fest?
Image: Mob of piggies running through the muck for the pile of rotting vegetables.
ewww.
and yet he will smile and rub elbows with the evil “white devils” when it comes time to accept the grants and donations. As long as there is white guilt, people like Wright and mack king carter.
The problem here lies in the fact that the older generation of blacks that did have to deal with not having the rights that whites had seem to want to pass this down to their children when their children live in a totally different world than their grandparents lived in. Instead of embracing the change that has occurred in our nation over the last 60 years they tend to bring up the past as if these problems happened yesterday.
But hey what do I know I am just a white man that had nothing to do with slavery or the denying of citizens their rights 50 years ago.
Kinda makes that McCain-LaHaye thing pale in comparison, now doesn’t it.
Mohawk,
They won’t let racism die because that’s how they pay their bills. It’s a rather lucrative business ya know. A shake-down, and shake-down there, diversity training, etc… These people have no desire to fix race relations…they are the problem.
“the thing about the Jeremiah Wright thing is White People have never repented of their transgressions:”
Well when people are bitter, perhaps because the affirmative action gravy train is winding down, they will cling to their religion.
I’ll turn the tables on the left, who like to paraphrase Matt 7:16 “Ye Shall Know Them By Their Words”.
============================
Matthew 7:16 actually says “Ye shall know them by their fruits”. That would also be applicable considering the trash that pose as preachers in these so called churches!
Agreed. To add to it though, confronting people with this mentality is almost, at this point, an exercise in futility.
If you agree with them, you’re getting screwed over.
If you disagree, you’re labeled a bigot, a racist, a hate-monger, and everything else they can think of to demonize you. Once that starts, its hard to hold a forum to discuss the issue without someone calling your point of view invalid, because you’ve been assigned those labels. That doesnt mean you give up the good fight or back down from these hustlers…but it admittedly makes the fight a bit more difficult.
As in all things, eventually, the truth comes out and exposes people (like these frauds, racists, and others like them) for what they really are.
I have too repented of my transgressions. That’s why Jesus Christ took my sins on Himself to save me.
A preachers job is to take a passage from the Bible and explain what it means. They can’t make political statements, like this, or they risk losing their tax-free status.
These preachers need to reread the Gospels, to see what Jesus had to say about people, like them, who were trying to advance their agenda from the pulpit.
30 pcs,
Great point.
Why is it that a few generations ago I might have been in the place to hear this type of racist talk amongst older generations of whites and most likely people that were close to me in my own family.
I on the other hand do not believe in that type of talk. I will refuse to let my children here that so they can be raised in a world where they will treat everyone with respect.
I watch the kids at my daughters daycare. White, black, asian, latino all playing with each other and having fun. I wonder if by the time they are my age if this type of anger amongst races will still to exist.
“the thing about the Jeremiah Wright thing is White People have never repented of their transgressions:”
– spoken like a true racist.
We have some very good black preachers in this country. What we need is a video showing one like Tyrone Jones of Calvary Temple of Christ compared to Wright, Sharpton or Jackson. Tyrone is the real thing and the rest work for the opposition from hell. I am a typical white person who voted for Alan Keyes in the primary simply because Duncan Hunter dropped out before Arizona voted in the primary. My favorite cartoon is of the Republican elephant holding a gun pointed to his head labeled McCain. God help us because government is definitely not going to be able to.
that must be why the lib’s are trying to destroy it…or is that why they want Obama to be the leader of it?
Rev. Wright must be running McCain’s campaign. Everytime the guy opens his mouth, Obama looses ground.
He whines about whitey and how he’s oppressed the black folks, but look at any city run by the black folks and show me one that hasn’t been run into the ground and/or has done anything to improve life for Blacks. I’m sure there are some, but I think of New Orleans and D.C. as prime examples.
The breathtaking irony is that in the same breath he cries of racism, he’s spewing racism. It doesn’t get anymore insane than that.
Mohawk,
I don’t believe it will be any better. I pray that it will but as they say, it gets worse before it gets better. Here’s to hoping for the better…
It’s funny just last weekend my in-laws were visiting and I have a four year old niece who just adores me and my husband. My husband is white and I am black… well she was showing me all of her toys and stuffed animals that she brought along. She handed me a brown teddy bear and said, “my teddy bear is brown, just like you are.” It was the most innocent thing… Yes, she sees an obvious difference in the color of our skin but she loves me the same. That’s difference. These race-mongers don’t have any love for anyone not black. They use the pulpit to spout their hatred. Liberals excuse their behavior and offer up interpretations of their statements as we, conservatives need a translation (I personally own a secret liberal decoder ring!)… shhh don’t tell the libbies.
Not the religious type, but…could someone, other than being white, taking care of my children, working 40+hours a week, donating to Make A Wish, paying my taxes dutifully, holding the door for women and treating them like my mother raised me…what am i missing?
If someone could point out what cardinal, heinous sin i’m perpetrating by trying to be a decent human being…i’d be happy to repent to something, somewhere
orlandocajun, don’t forget to add Philly to the list. Mayor John Street was to busy naming streets after MLK to do anything about actually cleaning up his city.
Barack Obama belongs to Trinity United Church of Christ which describes it’s congregation as “Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian.” The hypocrisy in this statement is obvious in that Christianity teaches that God is no respecter of persons, be it race, gender, or social status. MSM’s refusal to report the race identity aspect of this theology is pure cowardice.
Whatever happened to grace from the pulpit? Did it go the way of “turn the other cheek?”
abstractmind,
You have to apologize for your ancestors behavior towards my ancestors. You also owe me and you owe me big. 40 acres and a mule. I don’t accept checks. Cash only.

30 pcs,
Thanks for you insightful post’s. I too fear that things will remain status quo.
Respect is all we need for each other and all of the other problems will fall in line.
When we all realize we are all American regardless what our color is things can only get better.
I said the same thing when I read how Wright brought up Fox and Sean at a eulogy, that was so inappropiate but look who we are talking about. And I can not believe this bigotry is a black church thing. Maybe the person who wrote it lives where these churches are. I am not black but went to a black church and it wasn’t a church like the ones we are hearing of now. I also agree, none of these men in particular or any man should call themselves Reverend.
Found more Oh!b♥m♥ apology audio.
Wright will put McCain “right” into the White House. He (and his pals) is the gift who keeps on giving.

Problem. I’m Native American (half cherokee to be precise).
Where’s my reparations and apologies for losing all my land, and so many of my people losing their lives on the Trail of Tears?
/sarc off
I dont want, or expect, others to answer and pay for the mistakes of the past. It would be nice to see these folks do the same.
It seems to me that any black male who reaches the age of 30 is automatically anointed ‘Reverend’ status. Every time I turn around, there’s a reverend in the black community B’n & M’n about something. The black churches are nothing more than plotting grounds against whitey.
Hey these people are angry and bitter so they are clinging to God and guns what would we expect they already told us that that was the case. If we Americans had one ounce of sensitivity we would be doing everything we can to get these types resettled back where their DNA points us to. I’m for reparations too I want my wad of money that my ancestors earned ending slavery and if I don’t get it Im startin a churh to get back at ya’ll for it. These black ingrates have never had to pay the butchers bill they always get a free ride I’m sick of it. I would be happy to give each of them a hundred thousands a ticket back where they came from and some land when they get there. While we are at it why don’t we file a lawsuit against the continent of Africa for exporting that hideous trade on to the rest of us. They can pay us in land, land that we will give to these ingrate predatory losers as soon as they have singed on the dotted line and hauled their arses out of here.
Hmmm, has Wright repented for black peoples transgressions yet?
I eagerly await your responses.
I don’t know… last I checked the founding fathers were not brought together to create America because they hated the black man. But that could just be my degree talking. Silly degree.
Abstractmind, you and Barry O’ need only HALF repent as you are only half white.
Don’t forget this, Barack Obama’s Latest Pastor Problem: Anti-Gay Rev. James T. Meeks – this one is a short Wright.
Thank you for keeping up the scrutiny on these racist hypocrites. People like this need to be confronted for any actual progress to be made in race relations between blacks and whites. Black people will have to admit that their racists are bad guys, too. Today there is a mindset of us against them that makes too many black people willing to support anyone who is black, no matter how despicable.

Just read up on them so you can politely ask them a few uncomfortable questions.
Lets see, as a legal white immigrant who got thier citizenship the old fashioned way (you know, legaly) how much of the guilt am i supposed to shoulder for slavery which ended 160 years before I got here? Who should I write the check out to?
Just to offer some kind of counterbalance here … I would refer to Nevada State Senator Maurice Washington(R). He runs his political office from his church and I have listened to many of his sermons. He never preaches hate or bigotry. Rather he preaches unity, responsibility, the Bible and God in his church.
There really is some hope, it is just getting lost in the uproar from the left.

Rev.Jeremiah “the bullfrog” Wright,

Quoted directly from the Trinity United Church of Christ website, http://www.tucc.com …
“We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian… Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain “true to our native land,” the mother continent, the cradle of civilization.”
Subsitute the word “Black” for “White”, and “African” for “Caucasian” …and you’d have every black-activist mouthpiece screaming racism and demanding this church shut down, with live 24 hour coverage on Black Entertainment Television.
It’s separate but equal, only with one side more equal than the other.
These race-mongers don’t have any love for anyone
not black.Fixed it for ya 30.
I have always found that those you scream about racisam the loadest are usualy the most racist of all.
That’s why a Harvard educated, black millionaire lawyer could never run for President. Oh wait…
Abstractmind, if I can’t laugh at this stuff I think I’ll lose my mind. It’s serious business to be sure but if there are educated people willing to accept this drivel – hook, line and sinker, exactly what I am supposed to do. It’s being taught at universities around the country. Stay away from the dreaded African American Studies course. Pure evil.
GwMcB,
Thanks for the fix.
You didn’t get the memo though. Minorities can’t be racist because they are minorities. There’s some circular logic for ya.
I’ve never actually owned a slave, nor oppressed any minorities (that I am aware of). As a “typical white person” born into the dawn of the Reagan era, is there anything I can do to repent for my transgressions? Short of giving my money to people who do not deserve it, that is.
Just wondering.
Since I was young, I’ve heard of white racism in the “deep south”. I’ve seen and heard of it in movies and books. I see and hear the claims of racism everytime Jackson, Sharton and their ilk speak. Now I’m hearing it from Barack Obama and his preacher.
I’ve looked around and I guess maybe I’m sheltered or just haven’t been in the places where racism was prevalent. I’ve not seen blatant racism displayed as depicted by the above sources in real life. At least white against black racism.
What I have personally seen is black on white racism. The perpetrators have normally been female, government workers who have attained positions of authority. That’s because my career was in the government.
The fact they attained the position does not necessarily mean they are not qualified for the position. Many are well qualified. There are many whites who attain positions they are both clearly qualified and unqualified for.
It’s what many do when they reach those positions. Not only is there an arrogance, but I’ve seen blatant preferential treatment in the hiring and special treatment afforded black co-workers. They unabashedly promote everything black.
So if I were to step back and look at racism that I’ve personally observered over a lot of years, I’d have to say the most rascist are blacks.
After the “coming out” of Jeremiah Wright and others, I’m beginning to think that my observations are not too far off the mark.
I’ve noted comments in earlier posts about black churhes in general. The one’s you are hearing about are the liberal churches (like the white churches) who have hijacked the word Christian and are making news with their anti-Christ behavior and words.
Most true Christian churches are not vocal with regard to politics and the subjects of the talking heads. They are too busy attending to the spiritual needs of their congregations.
For those who have read the New Testament, I don’t believe you will find where Jesus or any of the Apostles ever railed against the government or the politics of the day. Jesus did condemn the actions of the hypocritical religious leaders of the day.
I see no hope for afro-Americans (this excludes Americans who happen to be black). They hate us, they hate the country.
BUT I have a solution
They want their own state and I say give the 2
Sanora & Chihuahua…
For good reason, the IRS frowns on that and may investigate to revoke their tax exempt status, although I don’t think they have ever revoked any churched tax exempt status that I know of.
They should.
Black racists and bigots have always existed. Typical white people have been too afraid to talk about them openly until now. In the age of the new media their dark little secrets will come out and will have to be dealt with properly.
They can run but they can’t hide.
Black hypocrits running the churches. The most racist people in America today are blacks and they usually call themselves Christians. There’s nothing Christian about Wright and those like him. Meanwhile white people sit back and do nothing to challenge it.
Racist like Wright and the black people that follow him are ignorant. They are all about preaching “it” but not practicing “it”.
“Now I know that I’m supposed to lead by example and all that but I’m not shoving that aside like it don’t mean anything. I know it’s important, I honestly do but we’re talking about practice. We’re talking about practice man. We’re talking about practice. We’re talking about practice. We’re not talking about the game. We’re talking about practice. When you come to the arena, and you see me play, you’ve seen me play right, you’ve seen me give everything I’ve got, but we’re talking about practice right now.”

I took an early part in deployment to the ME on contract. They needed us fast & could only get 6 (1 black).
After that contract was finally filled the next rotation was all black with 1 white exception. The hiring guy was black.
Racism? Of course not. He was a minority…
Make sure your local schools are really, really crappy so the kids who go through them will be dependent on Democrats forever.
Mostly annoyed: I’ve attended a number of evangelical churches with mixed congregations and the reason you’re not hearing from them is not because they are afraid of losing their tax exempt status but because they are preaching and teaching the Word.
We as believers don’t have to have a candidate’s name or party mentioned specifically to know when they are saying or doing something contrary to scripture.
One thing that has been a mystery to me are the Christian blacks who blindly vote for Democrats when that party’s platform is completely anti-thetical to Christian teachings. I’d think one would vote one’s convictions. These people seem chained to the Democratic plantation and don’t realize they can easily free themselves from their bondage.
I am so glad we have access to information today that would not have gotten to us just 10 years ago. The age of the internet is changing the political landscape. For good and bad. I just love having access to the positions and ideals of Americans that I would most likely not get on a daily basis.
How do these individuals consider themselves god loving christians when they spread so much hate.
We are still paying the price for Booth killing Lincoln. Do you think the policies that were directed toward the south as a result of that assassination would have occurred under Lincoln? Well if you read the Gettysburg Address I think that shows that he wanted above all to rebuild the nation. He might have enacted a sort of Marshall Plan for the south. If that had occurred people would have been too busy to form racist groups institute racist polices, we would have avoided much of what followed and I doubt we would be having this conversation right now. The only thing that Lincoln was wrong about was, “The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here”. That’s my dime store opinion anyway.
Because they have no idea what it means to be born again and be filled with the Holy Spirit.
LOL 30, I keep forgeting about that memo, they handed it out in my “Human Diversity” class in the acadamy. I was not so politly told to sit down and STFU as I was the only non-minority that would open his mouth. LOL
WHERE IS THE IRS?
Why aren’t they looking into these tax exempt religious groups that are nothing more than political machines for the socialist democrat party?
I know they can get some evidence off the “reverend” j. wright DVD’s.
I bet they all would take a check from a white dude.
I bet this white dude never writes them a check.
Our family has never owned slaves. Seems I must repent for that?
Our family never went into a slum and shot blacks. Seems I must repent for that too.
If I repent for being white, I am going to have a headache for the rest of my life.
I know, I will just love my brothers regardless of skin color. POOF, headache gone.
A slightly different take: it’s not that today’s “blame whitey” black subculture failed to embrace the changes, but rather that they embraced those changes all too well.
Before Lyndon Johnson’s “Great Society,” statistically blacks were working their way up in American society despite the obstacles in their path. The nuclear family was the rule and not the exception, literacy rates were climbing, as were income levels.
It is arguable that had they been allowed to progress on their own, blacks in America would’ve eventually followed largely the same trajectory as other immigrant/minority groups: from discrimination to eventually finding acceptance in the melting pot.
But instead, beginning in the 1960s the Federal government demonstrated exactly what Reagan meant when he said that “The most terrifying words in the English language are, ‘I’m from the government, and I’m here to help.’”
Instead of empowering blacks, the Great Society infantilized them. And while it’s tempting to think that this was just another example of The Law of Unintended Consequences, the brutal truth is that the Great Society did exactly what it was meant to do: create a permanent subclass of adult wards of the state.
Or as Johnson put it in his characteristic way: “I’ll have them n*ggers voting Democrat for the next 200 years!”
What we have today in black America is a catastrophically dysfunctional subculture that sees little incentive to change. It’s hard enough for most people to see their problems and their failings as the result of the choices they’ve made; harder still when there’s encouragement all around to point the finger at somebody else (e.g., “whitey,” “The Man,” “Republicans,” “Jews,” “structural racism,” “Fox News,” etc.) to explain why they remain self-destructive, resentful, stagnant and poor.
Ordinarily, one would expect the Christian Church to help them in coming to grips with the situation; after all, it is the acceptance of one’s inherently sinful/flawed nature that is the first step toward spiritual salvation, just like it must be in overcoming self-defeating attitudes, beliefs, values and behaviors.
But as we see, even the black church is in on the act of keeping blacks focused on external scapegoats instead of bettering themselves. Thus, some of the greatest poisoners of black minds today have something in common: the word “Reverend” before their names (Jackson, Sharpton, Wright, Carter).
It’s going to take a sea change in the institutions and people who serve as black opinion-leaders before any positive change takes place; unfortunately, Lyndon Johnson may have been dead-on accurate in his “200 years” prediction. Certainly I don’t see such change happening in my lifetime…
They don’t follow politics.
I think many “typical white Americans” who aren’t “stuck on stupid” realize how many (not all) black Americans feel about us.
Yes, it really is tragic that there are certain infamous habits that have become common-place to the black community that they have yet to take responsibility for:
1. Gang violence
2. Multiple baby daddies/out-of-wedlock births 70% of overall black birthrate
3. Poverty
4. Drop out rate
5. Dependence on government services
6. Black men killing each other/going to jail instead of to college
7. Broken homes
8. Drug addiction
Yet, there are blacks (and their victim demagogue preachers) who will say it’s whites keeping blacks down. It’s whites denying blacks opportunities. Yeah, those darn whites like Charleston Heston who walked with other civil rights leaders to fight for your rights. Yeah, those racist whites who gave you Affirmative Action.
Here’s a suggestion: perhaps when you get the cahones, Revs. Wright and Carter, to instill some personal responsibility in the black community, and stop crying whites are to blame, then there will be understanding.
How about you clean up your own house before you try to fix up mine.
The Trails of Tears is certainly a black mark on US history. It was ordered by Andrew Jackson, who stole Indian land in Mississippi and had 100 slaves to farm it. Andrew Jackson is the founder of the Democratic Party. I think at the very least the democrats need to make a severe apology for what they did.
Democrats are also to blame for the Jim Crow laws that came 40 years after the Lincoln emancipation.
Is Obama really gonna throw this funeral quote under the bus too? How stupid does he really think the white-folk is? THERE’S A WHOLE LOT MORE COMING FROM OBAMA AND HIS TEAM BETTER PULL UP A CHAIR!! CAN’T WAIT FOR THE REAL DEAL!! WHAT A FARCE!
I’ll be DAMNED IF HE’S GOING TO BE MY PRESIDENT AND MICHELLE OBAMA FIRST LADY! GIVE ME A BREAK! No Class at all.
Hey Michelle thanks for opening the comments this is my first post so I hope I dont sound like I’m stuck on stupid.
Anyway as a fellow Illinoisian I see these preachers all the time in the political arenaWe’ve all become sort of numb to it here.
Currently working with the Steve Sauerberg campaign for US Senate. He’s a long shot against Dickie Turbin. If you or your colleagues can help in anyway getting Sauerbergs mesage out it would be greatly appreciated.
Fight ‘em until we can’t!!!!
I blame Bill Cosby!
MISTER P.
it’s for this very reason Wayne Perryman is suing the Democratic Party and is waiting at the Supreme Court. The Democrats started it and the Republicans tried to stop it. see http://www.wayneperryman.com p.s. Mr. Perryman is a Black Respectable Minister.
That sellout…

Bob in Myrtle Beach #59 good post, I wish they would ask OB about this.No one has . More important than what Write said.
Mister P,
I think its time we got some lawyers, because I smell a reparations lawsuit coming on. I feel offended and oppressed. Think the ACLU would touch this?
ROFL
Where’s MLK when you need him? I bet he’s pissed at how the far-left-socialists are ruining all he worked for years ago.
Speaking of eulogies, the ‘garlic noses’ and Jesus’ crucifixion as ‘a public lynching Italian-style’ were from Wright’s last eulogy. Remind me not to ask this guy to speak at my funeral.
Thte sad fact is, Wright, Meeks, Jackson and Sharpton et al are just the public faces of a multi-billion dollar grievance-mongering industry that goes out of business the day America achieves true racial harmony.
This is nothing new. A quote from Booker T. Washington, in 1911:
‘There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public.
‘Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays.
‘Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do do not want to lose their jobs.’
Anybody seen Wright’s new house? Jesse’s NASCAR payday? All the billions in federal and foundation minority grants?
Just wondering.
I just think it’s pathetic that people like Rev Wright,Jessie Jackson,Al Sharpton and their ilk can even try and call themselves men of God. What God would that be? In Wright’s case I’m beginning to think it’s Allah.

thanks for making my day! lmao
Want more bull from Obama he was on C-Span today and more crap is all it is. I say get this race over and get to the real fight in the Primary.
If white people don’t have to repudiate the sins of some of their fathers (and nothing in the true Gospel of Jesus Christ says that they do) then black people do not have to repudiate the sins of these “reverends” or anyone else with the same skin color.
Fair is fair.
re#92-
Well, Wright was a Muslim at one time, according to what I’ve read…
(my first comment. Woohoo!)
Too true. The sad fact is, until hearts are changed, that harmony can never obtain. All it takes is for one person to become offended… and then not blame that offense – not on a$$hatmanship, but on bigotry – to perpetuate this silliness.
Personally, I am of the opinion that when hatred is involved, the basis doesn’t matter.
For instance: while experience an extreme aversion to B.O.&wife, they would no doubt asign it to membership in the VRWC (Vast Repressive Whiteman Conspiracy), its actually simply that plastic-people make my skin crawl.

hey guys, I posting from a Palm Lifedrive. I pressed the preview button, but it submitted instead.
Has that happened to anyone else?
I will do the same w/this, & simply not post it if the preview button works correctly…

I don’t know what has happened to actually help keep this thing (primaries) going, but the longer it lasts the better off we’ll all be.
For far too many election cycles the party candidates were chosen within the first 45 days of the election cycle and nobody got to see who the candidates were until far too late.
Keep it going, keep it going.
