WTF is wrong with Rev. Wright?

[Agathon]

Yet Republican leaders can speak at such tolerant institutions as Bob Jones University and the media doesn't care.

Wright is right. Black people don't get a fair shake in the US because of racism from whitey.

Uh, what? Every politician that has gone to Bob Jones has been roasted on a spit by the media.

Your memory is flawed.

Like the fair shake Hillary got?

“I do not in any way disagree with James Cone. Jim is a personal friend of mine.” - Reverend Wright

James Cone sees the matter very differently. Either God must do what we want him to do, or we must reject him, Cone maintains:

"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community … Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love. [1]

Baloney.

You show me where any one of them got the Howard Dean scream treatment. That's right, they didn't. Wright was the subject of an electronic lynching in which his most inflammatory remarks were taken out of context and repeated ad nauseam.

And Hillary is a poor example, since the one thing that Americans hate more than an assertive black guy is an assertive woman.

Anyone who dares to approach the basic truth about race in the US ends up getting shafted.

At least from what I've heard on conservative radio, a lot of conservatives are frustrated with Obama because they feel that their hands are being tied on racial talk. This is no problem with Hillary. They makes tons a sexist remarks about her, but they're mad that they can't make racist remarks about Obama. It seems every time I come across one of their radio shows, the host is lamenting that he can't talk about Obama being black.

You don't know what you're talking about. There is really nothing I can do to convince you that your memory is incorrect, but here goes:

Which hosts would those be? Limbaugh? Hannity? I could definitely see Savage saying that.

Savage, Michael Graham (Boston radio show), and another I don't know the name of are the one's I've heard.

Oh god. I remember Savage going on about how people who got infected with HIV deserved it because "they knew the risks." I think his solution to healthcare was to simply do away with it.
