WTF is wrong with Rev. Wright?

I can see ignorant blacks thinking that AIDS was designed by the government due to tuskegee, but Wright SHOULD know better, and I think he does. He doesn't sound like an utter moron on other things.

I know very intelligent people who are utterly convinced that 9/11 was an inside job. I know people who are utterly rational on everything else but believe that HIV was created by the government. We live in an age of conspiracy theories.

You might say that someone who said that the govt gave Syphilis to black people was insane if you didn't know it to already be true. It's just your perspective that Wright is insane for believing that the govt invented AIDS to wipe out black people. Wright's beliefs actually have historical grounding. On the other hand Bush believing that God told him to invade Iraq is totally bat**** insane, yet no one makes a big deal out of it. No one makes a big deal out of a lot of crazy **** white people say.

I like the way a black man is blamed for the distrust between the African American community and government regarding their health. That's ****ing brilliant man. You know the problem is that people can't take any ****ing responsibility for ****.

Who didn't take responsibility for what?

Americans never take responsibility for ****. Who's fault is it that African Americans believe that the US govt doesn't have their best interest in mind regarding their health?

Really, Rev. Wright seems like an intelligent fellow to me. You know, it's not like he's just an ignorant nut who doesn't know any better.

Of course that means the alternative is that he's an insidious nutjob who is intentionally manipulating the people he has influence over with dangerous demagoguery.

And that's a whole lot scarier.

Do you believe the government has your best interest in mind regarding your health?

I question the standard you use to judge intellect.

He's very intelligent. He's parlayed his ministry into a mansion in the burbs, a huge line of credit, and a mercedes. The American Dream
