[According to Jeremiah Wright there are more African Americans in jail than in college, therefore the American Criminal justice system is biased. But in Jeremiah Wright's Chicago, gang members routinely kill African American students who get too good grades. Death happens to be a very powerful disincentive when used properly, especially if its associated with being "Too White" by getting too good grades.
There was a recent article in the American Spectator in which the author described Black Grievance, something the Reverend Wright is in the forefront of, as a combination of the divorcing wife, where nothing the soon to be ex spouse has, or ever will do will please her, and the scene from the movie "Independence Day" in which the American President asks the alien what we, the people can do for them and the alien replies simply "Die!".]
"On the issue of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obamas defenders attempt to make you feel insane. How could you bring up the Rev. Jeremiah Wright?! It injects race into the contest! Obama supporters warn, After four years, how dare you re-litigate the matter!
In fact, it was never litigated in the first place.
2008 Republican candidate John McCain feared being accused of playing the race card. But Wright is not about race. It is much, much bigger than that. Wright is about Obamas character, beliefs and policies. The question remains the same one that should have been addressed four years ago: Do Obama and Wright share the same view of social injustice, a perspective that reveals Obamas character and beliefs and reflects his current and future policies?
Obama, in 2007, described the 20-year father/son-like relationship this way: What I value most about Pastor Wright is not his day-to-day political advice. Hes much more of a sounding board for me to make sure that I am speaking as truthfully about what I believe as possible and that Im not losing myself in some of the hype and hoopla and stress thats involved in national politics.
But Wright is off-limits
Obama was probably the most surprised politician in America when McCain refused to jam Wright down Obamas throat as Obama would most assuredly have if the situation were reversed. Reluctant to inject race? Obamas hand-picked chair of the Democratic National Committee routinely accuses the Republicans of wanting to literally drag us all the way back to Jim Crow laws. People forget the bare-knuckled way Obama got every serious opponent kicked off the ballot in his first Illinois state Senate race and was therefore elected with no serious opposition.
But Wright, who described himself as a second father to Obama, is off-limits.
Obama selected Trinity United. He selected the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Wright married Barack and Michelle. He blessed their home in Hyde Park.
He baptized the Obamas daughters. Obama initially wanted Wright to deliver the invocation when Obama announced his run for the presidency.
Wright calls the criminal justice system racially biased against blacks. So does Obama. Wright, in 2006, falsely said, Weve got more black men in prison than there are in college. A year later, Obama repeated the Wright canard almost verbatim: More young black men languish in prison than attend colleges and universities across America. Pre-emptively deciding Trayvon Martins death was a matter of racial profiling, Obama said, If I had a son, hed look like Trayvon. Obama sided with the indignant black Harvard professor instead of the white cop who was properly responding to a call about possible burglary. The Cambridge police, Obama said, acted stupidly.
Obama, in Dreams From My Father, quotes Wright from the Audacity to Hope sermon: White folks greed runs a world in need.
What does Obama blame for the financial crisis? Greed and fat cat bankers on Wall Street. Obamas greed-based view explains why he denounces millionaires and billionaires for failing to pay their fair share of taxes. It tells us why candidate Obama told an Ohio plumber, I think when you spread the wealth around, its good for everybody
Wrights relationship with Obama helps explain the presidents handling of the Israeli-Palestinian dispute.
Wright said in a 2007 interview, When (Obamas) enemies find out that in 1984, I went to Tripoli (to visit Moammar Gadhafi) with Farrakhan, a lot of his Jewish support will dry up quicker than a snowball in hell. Wright also blamed Zionists for ethnic cleansing in Gaza. Does this not shed light on why Obama condemned the reckless building of Israeli settlements in east Jerusalem causing an immediate chill in Americas relationship with Israel? Does Wrights anti-Semitism tell us something about why Obama said nobodys suffering more than the Palestinian people from this whole process?
But Wright is off-limits
For his new book, The Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House, reporter Ed Klein taped a lengthy interview with Wright. The reverend claims that Obama secretly met with him and tried to dissuade Wright from speaking out until the election. He says an Obama surrogate offered him $150K to stop giving speeches until after the 2008 election!
Even then-Sen. Obama thought Wright was fair game. I think that people were legitimately offended by some of the comments that (Wright) had made in the past, said Obama in April 2008. The fact that hes my former pastor, I think, makes it a legitimate political issue.
But Wright, four years later, is off-limits unless youre nuts."
