On the other hand B H O CLEARLY knew all the things his PERSONAL PASTOR was saying over a TWENTY YEAR PERIOD.>>>>
There's the problem with this conversation. You see, WHAT the pastor was saying was correct. HOW he was saying it was his error. You don't seem to think that Obama had the common sense to get by the 'how', & focus on the 'what.' However, his life's conduct clearly shows that he did that very well.

"You see, WHAT the pastor was saying was correct."
....ummm no, no it wasn't. Unless you believe the government created AIDs as a means of genocide against people of color.
"In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01. White America and the western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just 'disappeared' as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring black concerns."
"Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run!â;¦We [in the U.S.] believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in God."
Ya the man really tells the truth now doesn't he...

ummmmm, yes it was. And I'm speaking of the number that white society has done on black Americans because of prejudice. As for AIDS, given the other slimy things our government has done (like sterilizing children deemed 'retarded' or 'slow'), and the experiments done on black Americans over Syphilis without their knowledge, NOTHING would surprise me.
What's that saying? Oh yeah "burn me once, shame on you. Burn me twice, shame on me." Not at all hard to see why Wright would suspect 'the man.'

Ya the government made AIDs to kill black people even though when it first showed up it was thought to be a GAY only disease. If the government wanted to kill blacks, AIDs would be the worst way to do it. Its stupid to believe AIDs was made for genocide, as it effects the ENTIRE human race.
And yes, the past has been tragic for black in America. Slavery, segregation and racism has held them down for over 200 years, but the comments Wright makes goes beyond that. He believes that TODAY the government is going out of its way to hold down and repress blacks, which I personally believe is completely false.

wright is from a dif era
things r changing and getting better but if u had lived thru what he had ur outlook would be different
look at what wright said in his damn america speech
the govt supplies the drugs(rememebr ollie north under reagan bringing in cocaine)
the govt builds better prisons than schools
the 3 strike law (which isnt just aimed against blacks but all low income americans)
his tone was hurtful but he didnt lie
hagee on the other hand is very offense claiming the Lord sent the nazis after the jews

I didn't say Wright was correct in his assertion about AIDS. My point was that as a black man who lived prejudice and saw what it did to black people insidiously every day, he has no trust left. Whose fault is that? The man is clearly affected by his life experiences, but he at least deserves credit for reaching out to others who were affected. Obama clearly admired that about him, and so do I.
On the one hand you'll admit the tragedy of the treatment of black people, but I find it ironic that you won't allow the anger that might come over that treatment. I have to wonder how you would react, were it you it was happening to.
Another irony, is that HIV was allowed to get out of hand when our government ignored it because after all, it was only happening to 'gays," they thought. Thousands dead because of prejudice. Be it black people, or gay people, or any other minority that powerful people target, there isn't a whole lot to trust if you're one of those minorities.
