Rev. Wright Gives eulogy for former appellate Judge R. Eugene Pincham, a member of Wright’s Trinity United Church of Christ
Fox News
Rev. Jeremiah Wright told a congregation in Norfolk, Va., on Sunday that reporters sneaked into a private funeral service a day before, in which he blasted America’s founding fathers for slavery and white supremacy and received standing ovations for attacking FOX News for covering his anti-American sermons.
Wright’s speech
Barack Obama’s retiring pastor delivered a sermon at Bank Street Memorial Baptist Church, where his late uncle had been the pastor, about overcoming trouble. The public appearance was his first since news broke that the Democratic presidential candidate’s pastor frequently rails on the United States.
“Some troubles that come up in your life come up out of nowhere,” Wright said. At the end of the two-hour-plus service, about two dozen ministers gathered around Wright and his daughter to pray for them. One of the ministers asked God to give Wright courage as “the world tries to demonize him.”
Though Wright said nothing about Obama or the uproar itself, he alluded to the controversy while briefly back in the pulpit Saturday to deliver a eulogy for a late congregant of Trinity United Church of Christ — former appellate judge R. Eugene Pincham.
Wright, who is on sabbatical before retiring from Trinity United, said America’s mistreatment of blacks is the result of the founding fathers, who “planted slavery and white supremacy in the DNA of this republic.”
First reported by The Chicago Sun Times, Wright told mourners at the funeral that Thomas Jefferson, who partook in “pedophilia,” would also be considered unpatriotic these days because he wrote, “God would punish America for the sin of slavery.” He also quoted Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who said that the U.S. has a “congenital birth defect.”
Speaking of the seven lessons Pincham taught him, Wright said the judge’s faith “was not the jingoistic, chauvinistic ‘you’re either with us or against us’ demonizing kind of faith.”
“FOX News can’t understand that,” Wright said to rousing cheers and applause. “[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.”
Wild Thing’s comment………
Keep it coming Wright baby. Wright on. Speak very clearly into the microphone. The whole world is watching you.
Can you believe he made these comments during a funeral? Good grief!!!
Just like OJ Simpson – play the race card AND victim, eh? Sooooooooo F’N obvious! Oppose the status quo = racist, but float along in their polluted mainstream waters = advocate… Like saying an islamofascist terrorist is a freedom fighter, eh?
This man can’t say one nice thing, can he?
You can’t blame a whole race of people for a small amount of bad slave owners. Remember, History is written by those who have hanged heroes. (Braveheart). There were some slave owners who were kind to their slaves–some even freed them and paid them for working the land, didn’t punish them, etc. And what about the Jewish slaves in Egypt? There has always been slavery in some way or shape.
Rev. Wright is a moronic, overblown dictator with delusions of Godhood.
To listen to Wright our country was founded on a fraudulent concept. Steeped in hatred and bigotry. To say Thomas Jefferson was a pedophile is blasphemy as far as I am concerned. The founding fathers knew at the time that the case for slavery, was a Rattle snake lying asleep under the table waiting to wake up. But it was there all the same and founding a viable form of Government was more important than one social issue. But they instilled in that Republic the means by which to do away with this ‘stain’ on the new country. It was part of the system they inherited and they tried to work around it.
Suppose the Colonies had lost the war for Independence, does Wright think that life would have been better for slaves under the king. No Black minister ever mentions the fact that the ruling tribes in Africa, also Black, would sell subservient tribes for the slave trade.
I don’t know whether Wright is a poverty pimp or not in the model of a Jackson or Sharpton. What I do know is he is wanting to perpetuate the hatred between the races especially the Evil White Race, which he claims is the root of all their problems. How long does Wright and Obama think they can play this card that all Blacks are still victims, and the United States OWEs them something? By perpetuating the hatred he perpetuates the idea of all Blacks are victims, because once in our history they were slaves and nothing has changed in 150 years.
At what point is this debt cleared, the Civil War cost 625,000 lives, and 1.5 Million wounded and maimed and it was paid for with the majority of white blood. In the ensuing 150 years there has been changes unparalleled in world history, Civil Rights has changed almost the entire way of life here. But still that is not enough. The question now is when do these ‘ victims of slavery’ start standing on their own two feet and accept the responsibility for living in this country, that supposedly hates them. When do they take responsibility for their own families, their neighborhoods and their own lives? instead of expecting someone else to pay for it.
Obama is running on a campaign that the White community ‘Owes us’ and he would be generous enough to include Whites who agree with him. The real Obama showed himself when he made the statement about small town America. This is what he really thinks of America. His changes would result in the complete dismantling of a country we fought for and died for, for 233 years and is the best anyone has ever put forth. But Obama and his Black supremacist movement, along with Wright, Farrakhan and the Panthers and any other free lunch parasites could glom onto and destroy what we have built.
To that I say No thanks.
So when is this debt paid in full. When are we allowed to go on debt free. When this debt is paid, do they leave the country and take their white guilt ridden corpses with them.
The Obama campaign is bringing out in public Black racism. It is more than the Sharptons and Jacksons. It is also the Rev Wrights, the Obamas, the Congressional Black Caucus, the Black Panthers and on and on. Katina showed us the mentality that “you owes us” as mentioned by Mark. The nightly news shows us the criminal tendencies within the Black community. School rosters show the excessive drop out rate. Emergency rooms show the drug usage and unhealthy life styles. Civil courts show us the never ending demands for special treatments through civil rights lawsuits.
Everything is in place for the Black community to be a successfully functioning community. Some are very successful, some are moderately successful, but the Black community as a whole is failing. Crime, welfare, drug usage, illegitimacy, gangsta culture,rebuttal of education, etc. etc. Their leaders rhetoric only legitimizes this failure and fuels it.
An Obama presidency will feed the worst aspects of Black failure and add to it by blaming the problems on Whites and probably others. Blacks are also envious and unhappy with the immense success of Asians, many of whom are first or second generation Americans.
Hotdam, I didn’t think I’d live long enough for the black biggotry to be a topic of national discussion. Their self appointed leaders, their so called preachers and Congress have kept telling them to keep segregated and the nation will pay for your perceived wronging in perpetuity. That “you owes us” victim mentality has finally manifestred itself to the glaring spotlight of the national media, that is now a subject the media cannot hide from the internet. Since old Abe signed that document on January 1, 1863, 3 million Americans fought – 600000 died, mostly white Americans, so they could be free to choose. In the 7 generations since, look at who and what they have chosen. Congress has instilled that “you owes us” victim mentality by treating them as wards of the state protected from the everyday things the honkey has to endure in silence because we don’t have the courage to speak out about the gross inequities. Now we have to walk on eggs because of an Osama-Obama? Bullshit!!!, no guilt trips here, 140 years to assimilate and now they want to sieze the nation. Since this political race is all about gender and race, give us a candidate the nation can respect and be proud of, red, yellow, black or white. Not some third rate muzzie functionary funded by Syrian and Iraqi hoodlums that has bought their way into a phony Christian church or that Marxist Clinton witch funded by that Hungarian Communist Soros.
Darth…..”Like saying an islamofascist terrorist is a freedom fighter, eh? “……..Yes! That is what they do.
The hate for our country is disgusting.
Lynn, I wish when he goes on talk shows someone would ask him to name what he does like about America. He might stammer around about it like Michelle Obama and Obama have done and not really answer.
Mark, thank you so much.
Wright really makes me feel sick to my stomach. I wish we had a different Media because if we did they would be ripping him about. Instead it goes ignored this time.
Tom, this is so true…….
“An Obama presidency will feed the worst aspects of Black failure and add to it by blaming the problems on Whites and probably others.”
Jack, hahha I was kidding with Nick about this today and told him that the new bad word now if the F word. Not the one we already know about but the word ” Fairytale” the one Bill Clinton used. To Obama that was a racist word, that really threw me for a loop. hahahaha
