If it were any candidate other than Barack Obama whose pastor of 20 years had preached a gospel of hatred and anti-white and anti-Semitic bigotry, he?d be a footnote in the history books right now. But Obama it was, and the mainstream media collectively jammed its fingers in its ears and hummed, even as the shrill and despicable hate mongering of former Rev. Jeremiah Wright befouled the airwaves on national television.
In case you thought Wright had vanished after his former parishioner?s now-famous defenestration, think again. Last week, Wright was in the spotlight again, this time at a seminar in Chicago, where he compared the United States with apartheid South Africa and claimed the civil rights movement was about ?becoming white.?
Never one to mince words or err in the direction of the truth, the ever-incendiary Wright is reported to have told the black seminarians assembled that they will never ?be a brother to white folk,? adding?in what Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid would revealingly describe as ?a Negro dialect???White folk done took this country. You?re in their home and they?re going to let you know it.?
The loony Wright made further use of his bully pulpit to take shots at the American education system, which he insisted is built to poorly educate black students ?by malignant intent.? No target was off-limits, not even civil rights leader Martin Luther King, who Wright took to task for advocating nonviolence. ?We probably have more African-Americans who?ve been brainwashed,? he observed, ?than we have South Africans who?ve been brainwashed.?
If Obama was made aware that the man he one affectionately called ?a father figure? is on a tear again, it is not something he has chosen to acknowledge publicly. Then considering that Obama never heard any of Wright?s bitter, racist invective in the twenty years he sat in the pews at Trinity Church of Christ, in Chicago, is it any surprise?
But of course, Obama had no idea of any of this. Naaaa, not a one
