********WHITE PASTORS ONLY!!! ************** |
|
Edited on Mon Apr-28-08 02:01 PM by uponit7771
I'm a gen x black male that has been blown away with 60's level media response to Dr. Wright relative to responses Falwell and Robertson have gotten in the past for outright hateful things said about blacks.
They might as well to me have a sign above their green door that reads WHITE PASTORS ONLY when criticizing America.
There have been white pastors that have been sought out by reThugs that have said things that are far far far more racist, unpatriotic and down right illegal ("America exist to destroy Islam...", Rod Parsley McSame spiritual guide) for DECADES upon DECADES and hasn't received this kind of media attention.
I know it's a rating getter and I can see some hay being made out of Wrights statements but so far it's been a circus
One question I do have to ask though is WHERE ARE THE BLACKS WHO WORK FOR THESE NETWORKS!?!?!?!
These black folk know full WELL about Hagee, Parsley, Falwell and Robertson and they hatefulness and not that Wright wouldn't raise a few eyebrows but THEY know the attention Wright is getting is disparate!!
When John McSames pastors he SOUGHT the endorsement of get this type of negative attention in the US media I'll be the first to post about it but for some reason I think they'll get a pass because the US KKK Media doesn't mind a racist white pastor

1. I think you have a very valid point... |
|
As far as the blacks who work for the networks, they seem to be MIA....

"Wright was wrong/bad for Obama meme". The only leading black figure I've seen support Wright to any extent was Dr. Cornell West on Real Time. I'm sure someone will interview Ron Christie (RNC shill) and give him an opening to condemn Wright and try to make it look like the good Rev. is out of touch with the black community, when really, who is more out of touch than Ron freaking Christie? :wtf:

I am forced by the events of recent days to largely agree with your above statements. Racism is alive and well, it appears. Well, maybe so ... but a lot of people heard the message behind Rev. Wright's words and we want that reconciliation.

20. I've told the good Rev. more than once to shut and get his ass to the back of the bus. |

:sarcasm:
It is shameful what has been done to this decent man to hurt another decent man -- both black.
Peace

I am tired of these people telling me when I am expected to be "offended" and such. Wright does not offend me, but a couple of the assclowns on MSNBC are really pissing me off.

5. As an ordained minister |

in the Universal Worship, all I can say is that I wish all people would get along, and be raised above the distinctions and differences which divide.

8. And former candidate and potential VP Mitt Romney's church |

Edited on Mon Apr-28-08 02:11 PM by notmypresident
The mormon church teaches (taught?) that africans are damned for behavior in the pre-existance (WTF that is) and are the children of Cain and cursed by god.
They did not allow them to become priests until 1978 when lawsuits forced the issue.
Very racist church and Romney is one of the most prominent politicians of that faith and not one damn word about it in the MSM.
This is the entire church, not just one man and not one word of condemnation or one question about it was ever raised.

10. Jessie Jackson? Al Sharpton? |
|
As far as I can tell, the media goes out of its way to look for polarizing figures in the religious communities.
Has Rod Parsley really been interviewed as a "spokesperson" for christianity? I know he's a nut with tv audience, but I didn't realize he had been speaking for "Christians on the news networks. "puke"

14. Hagee had a "bring back slavery" sale at his church weeks before McSame sought his endorsement |
|
...and like I've said before I know the MsM has to get rating and all and to me some of these stories are worth reporting but not exploiting to the level the MsM has done with Wright especially relative to McSames sought after pastors.

15. McSame also sought out Hagee's endorsement |
|
Why isn't the media in an uproar about Hagee calling Catholicism "the great whore", and saying that Hurricane Katrina was punishment for New Orleans' sinfulness? Certainly that's more offensive than anything Rev. Wright said.

16. McCain calls both Parsely and Hagee his "spiritual advisers" |
|
Parsley believes that a world wide dominionist theocracy must be established before Jesus Christ can return (which is exactly the opposite of biblical doctrine, btw)
Hagee believes that the literal borders of Israel must be the Nile and Euphrates rivers which, to put it lightly, is considerably more real estate than even the Likud wing of Israel ever seriously considered to be theirs.
But these Nazis get a pass from the whore media. As does Doug Coe, who leads Hillary's domionist prayer group "the fellowship".

Very well said. This whole singling out of Obama's church and pastor is less than subtle racism.

17. It sets the progressives back almost fifty years. |
|
It is such a shame when the media, conservatives, and Hillary supporters have proven to a Tee what Wright has said. Wrights only problem with the aforementioned groups is that he is black.
