... Obama's pastor Jeremiah Wright? http://bumpshack.com/2008/03/18/pastor-jeremiah-wright-controversy-quotes/“We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye.” “We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America’s chickens are coming home to roost.” (Sep 2001) “The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing ‘God Bless America.’ No, no, no, God damn America, that’s in the Bible for killing innocent people. God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme.” (2003) “In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01. White America and the western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just ‘disappeared’ as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring black concerns.” (magazine article) “Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run!…We [in the U.S.] believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in God.” (sermon) “Barack knows what it means living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people. Hillary would never know that. Hillary ain’t never been called a nigger. Hillary has never had a people defined as a non-person.”[Mondo note: A totally laughable statement ... Obama is one of the rich 1%.]“Hillary is married to Bill, and Bill has been good to us. No he ain’t! Bill did us, just like he did Monica Lewinsky. He was riding dirty.” (sermon) “The Israelis have illegally occupied Palestinian territories for over 40 years now. Divestment has now hit the table again as a strategy to wake the business community and wake up Americans concerning the injustice and the racism under which the Palestinians have lived because of Zionism.”Read more: http://bumpshack.com/2008/03/18/pastor-jeremiah-wright-controversy-quotes/#ixzz1tprurwzXhttp://righthandthief.blogspot.com/2008/03/least-favorite-jeremiah-wright-quotes.html1. "I am convinced that [this] is one of the most unjust wars that has ever been fought in the history of the world... The judgment of God is upon us today."2. "A riot is the language of the unheard."3. "It is incontestable and deplorable that [African Americans] have committed crimes; but they are derivative crimes. They are born of the greater crimes of the white society."4. "The question is not whether we will be extremist but what kind of extremist will we be." 5. "All of America's wealth today could not adequately compensate [African Americans] for [their] centuries of exploitation and humiliation."6. "God didn't call American to do what she's doing in the world now. God didn't call America to engage in a senseless, unjust war... And we are criminals in that war. We have committed more war crimes almost than any other nation in the world and we won't stop because of our pride, our arrogance as a nation"7. "We must ask the question, 'Why are there forty million poor people in America?' And when you... ask that question, you are raising questions about the economic system, about a broader distribution of wealth. When you ask that question you begin to question the capitalistic economy. "We are called upon to help the discouraged beggars in life's marketplace. But one day we must come to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring. It means that [radical] questions must be raised.....'Who owns the oil'...'Who owns the iron'...'Why is it that people have to pay water bills in a world that is two-thirds water?' [Mondo note: Meanwhile, Obama is very rich.]8. "A nation that will keep people in slavery for 244 years [will]... exploit them, and poor people generally, economically. And a nation that will exploit economically will have to have foreign investments and everything else, and will have to use its military might to protect [those investments]. All of these problems are tied together"9. [Note: this one's a doozy-- it's all from the same sermon]"While [our enemies] both may have justifiable reasons to be suspicious of the good faith of the United States......"Then came the buildup [to war], and I watched... and I knew that America would never invest the necessary funds or energies in rehabilitation of its poor so long as adventures like [this war] continued to draw men and skills and money like some demonic destructive suction tube...."I knew that I could never again raise my voice against the violence of the oppressed in the [inner cities] without having first spoken clearly to the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today -- my own government....[quoting Langston Hughes]:O, yes,I say it plain,America never was America to me......"What then can I say to Castro... as a faithful minister of [God]? Can I threaten [him] with death or must I not share with [him] my life?..."Our government... again fell victim to the deadly Western arrogance that has poisoned the international atmosphere for so long...."So they go, primarily women and children and the aged. They watch as we poison their water... They must weep as the bulldozers roar through their areas... So far we may have killed a million of them, mostly children. They wander into the towns and see thousands of the children, homeless, without clothes, running in packs on the streets like animals. They see the children degraded by our soldiers as they beg for food. They see the children selling their sisters... soliciting for their mothers...."We have corrupted their women and children and killed their men. Now there is little left to build on, save bitterness. Soon the only solid physical foundations remaining will be found at our military bases and in the concrete of the concentration camps... ..."Here is the true meaning and value of compassion... when it helps us to see the enemy's point of view, to hear his questions, to know his assessment of ourselves. For from his view we may indeed see the basic weaknesses of our own condition, and if we are mature, we may learn and grow and profit from the wisdom of the brothers who are called the opposition...."Increasingly, by choice or by accident, this is the role our nation has taken, the role of those who make peaceful revolution impossible by refusing to give up the privileges and the pleasures that come from the immense profits of overseas investments. I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin... the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights, are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered...."We are now faced with the fact, my friends, that tomorrow is today. We are confronted with the fierce urgency of now. In this unfolding conundrum of life and history, there is such a thing as being too late."http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/j/jeremiah_wright.htmlAmerica is still the No. 1 killer in the world.
