“The Founding Fathers Planted White Supremacy In The DNA Of This Republic”
April 13, 2008
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.
Standing ovation
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.
Reflecting on the late Pincham, Wright said his faith “was not the jingoistic, chauvinistic ‘you’re either with us or against us’ demonizing kind of faith.” Wright said Pincham was friends with “Jews, Muslims, rabbis, imams, fathers in the Catholic church and [Louis] Farrakhan in the Islamic faith.”
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.”
And, talking about Pincham’s integrity and honesty, Wright said, “You don’t change who you are because of where you are. You don’t stop telling the truth because it is not politically correct or it makes a racist uncomfortable. You don’t blame other folks for not fixing some of the problems in our own community that we can and need to fix ourselves.”
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.

What a fucking moron………..
April 13th, 2008 at 8:05 amI love it. Obama and Wright just can’t keep their mouths shut.
April 13th, 2008 at 8:09 amThe more they talk the more transparent they become.
To quote Cousin Eddie (yes, I know it’s my second movie quote this morning) in his admiration of Clark’s bosses Christmas bonus of “The Jelly Of The Month Club” : “It’s (He’s) the gift that keeps on giving …”
April 13th, 2008 at 8:11 amWhat a moron. I can’t believe people believe this shit. Or subscribe to this way of thinking. Education should be the #1 issue in this campaign now behind National Security. If people believe this crap, there is a HUGE disconnect in our schools somewhere.
April 13th, 2008 at 8:12 amAll I can say Mr. Wright is….. Keep talking. It’s awesome. Keep digging. This cockroach won’t hide. This is great! The more Wright says the more he makes the analysis of O’Reilly and Hannity shine!
April 13th, 2008 at 8:30 amProof positive that African-Americans are no less susceptible to the intellect-degenerating influences that lead to Trooferism.
I blame Dan Brown and his stupid “secret organization” novels like Davinci Code.
Without all this brainless conspiracy bullshit permeating our culture, it is no wonder everybody regards trust and faith as carcinocenic vices of the mind.
This nitwit’s brain functions are no different from a Klansman’s; he falsely attributes (scapegoats) negative conditions on an identifiable and, within his clique, unloved segment of society. “I’m miserable, and it’s their fault!”
Crimus, if this guy hung himself and came back from the dead, he’d hang himself a second time!
At least this useful idiot serves a purpose: He’s showing the country just how useless Hussein is, as Hussein worshipped at this guy’s feet for 20 years.
And Hussein is clearly contaminated with the bitter invective of racism.
April 13th, 2008 at 8:46 amCan that stupid Abed ever shut his freakin mouth!? At least we ended slavery unlilke our Cousins the Arabs who NEVER will Abed is Arabic for SLAVE & Negroe. He wants to say we are bad when if he took his black ass to Palistine (he loves them so much) they would cut his balls off and put his ass to work. He might even get lucky and be a house N-word.
April 13th, 2008 at 9:09 amKILL WHITEY!!!
April 13th, 2008 at 9:23 amWe all know whitey invaded the earth after landing in the mothership eons ago…LOL
This fool is either the dumbest quack on the planet or he’s suffering from some sort of degenerative mental illness.
April 13th, 2008 at 9:38 amMy mother raised me not to judge based on race. I have taught my children the same.
April 13th, 2008 at 9:47 amI wonder if we have been fools, as my wealth and opportunity is taken from me because of the color of my skin. Robin Hood taxation and affirmative action is biased against me because of my pigmentation. How much of this shit will people take?
Black Racism has been covered up for 5 decades, but now its spitting its venom all over the place for all to see.
Enough of special treatment for blacks. Equal treatment for Americans and the rest of you can leave.
By the way, is the GOP sponsoring this scum? They certainly should…
April 13th, 2008 at 10:05 amI see him crying all the way to his 10,000 square foot mansion in a gated “whitey” community….
April 13th, 2008 at 10:15 amI was always taught to not be racist. only judge people by the way they treat you personally or their overall character.
I too wonder sometimes if i was hoodwinked. there seem to be alot of racist blacks out there. while i look at people in equal terms, those who i have tried to be equal to may be looking back at me with opposite intentions.
But what do i know? im just another “racist white Republican”. what bullshit! we have heard that so many times you almost start to believe it. but in reality we may be the fairer group.

April 13th, 2008 at 10:45 amYou’ve summed up my feelings pretty well. I grew up believing it was who you were as a person that mattered most, now I discover you can be the biggest assclown in the world and as long as your apart of the approved “victim” class it’s all good.To say that’s sad is an understatement. BTW, has anyone noticed the “Reverand” has all types of understanding and forgiveness for just about everyone except a certain pale shade of folks?
This man is truly a died in the wool racist. I am sure Obama has learned his lesson well. I have never heard a minister,
April 13th, 2008 at 12:03 pma supposed representative of God spew so much hate. I don’t know which Bible you study, but it sounds a whole lot like the one Mohammed read.
RACISM KNOWS NO COLOR! 
April 13th, 2008 at 1:22 pmWright said Pincham was friends with “Jews, Muslims, rabbis, imams, fathers in the Catholic church and [Louis] Farrakhan in the Islamic faith.” secular jews, muslims who secretly have no respect for you and wish you and your countries demise, catholic priests who teach contrary to church doctrine like rev. pflegler, and louis farrakhan who teaches that judaism is a gutter religion and that christianity is the religion of slavemasters.
excuse me to say that anyone can befriend people who willingly betray their religious principles or outright reject them in favor of a world view that belittles one race before another, exacts revenge via governemnet redistribution and reduces life to the least common denominator thus fomenting further animosities so as to secure power amongst so-called civilrights activists like farrakhan, wright sharpton and jackson.
People should be picketing these so called “churches” and tell them to convert to a more appropriate religion namely islam where hatred is virtuous.
On one hand he says america: “planted slavery and white supremacy in the DNA of this republic,”
Then he says: “You don’t blame other folks for not fixing some of the problems in our own community that we can and need to fix ourselves”
which is it wright: Blame whitey or not?

April 13th, 2008 at 4:30 pmadding 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.
Maybe I’m “stuck on stupid” but I never heard O’Reilly or Hannity state that they were pro-slavery, or that liking slavery = patriotism.
Or maybe by us being punished for the sin, Wright is referring to the “inevitable” election of Hussein. That would certainly be punishment for us all.
April 13th, 2008 at 4:56 pmOMG.. You know our forefathers may very well have been racist but my God look how far we have come. We have a black man running for President for crying out loud. Instead of sitting there whining and being a victim of the past praise how far we as a country have come in seeing all people as equal.

But not if you’re a mofo’in CRACKER!
April 13th, 2008 at 6:56 pmWhy is he even allowed an audience
April 13th, 2008 at 11:12 pmI had to hear this crap on a daily basis from the back seat of the cab for 18 years from ‘75 to ‘02. Now, I only hear it on television. In fact for the past five years I hardly even see many of them except on television. Life can be nice.
April 13th, 2008 at 11:45 pmas was posted on this site befor..”how many white people died freeing slaves”
April 14th, 2008 at 3:51 amClassless. This fool makes every church look bad.
Obama has brought the discussion of race. His pastor interpretations have allowed people to know his views.
Clearly no one in America is pro slavery except the Democratic party. The Democratic party hold urban kids in failed schools. The Democratic party denies vouchers to maintain ignorant voters. The teachers union and dept of education are Democrat controlled.
Now the Democratic party have the Hispanics in the same sanctuary cities. The Hispanic kids will have the same teachers in the same schools………….All Democratic controlled. Slavery is alive in Democrat controlled cities.
The fool in this is the so called Pastor Wright. Pastor Wright is part of the Slave ownership. Jumps up and down and points his finger at the wrong side. Pastor Wright retires, moves out of the city, I wonder why? I’m sure enjoy his retirement in his brand new house in the gated community.
April 14th, 2008 at 5:14 amJohn McCain w/ Condie Rice as VP, If Obama wins get ready to watch a parade of white women with black men all over the white house, Fuck him and his stupid ass rev.
April 14th, 2008 at 5:37 amRev Wright is a charlatan. He is no man of God, preaching and saying such hate. “We reap what we sow, more than we sow, later than we sow”…Rev Wright’s harvest may not be in this life, but possibly the next. If he loves The Lord, he would try a bit harder to emulate His ways and teachings. His venomous speech and twisted ideology gives him away. Too bad for those who buy into his garbage, they ought to know better…if they actually took the time to read a Bible…
Give ‘em enough rope…
