TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - Democratic presidential hopeful Barack
Obama's pastor is expected to speak at a Tampa church.
Tuesday's event will be the first public appearance for the Rev.
Jeremiah Wright
since gaining notoriety for his incendiary racial
and anti-American remarks from the pulpit.
Wright was the longtime pastor of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago until leaving last month. Some of his past
sermons have received new scrutiny and criticism in recent weeks.
Obama has denounced the inflammatory remarks from his pastor,
who suggested in one sermon that the United States brought the
September 11th terrorist attacks on itself. Another said blacks
should damn America for continuing to mistreat them.

If he doesn’t like the United States why doesn’t he go live in another country where he could not talk like that about that country without being arrested for that kind of talk. He is living in a country where freedom of speech lets him make remarks like that. And I am so tired of some African Americans hollering about discrimination .They have the same rites and chances as eney other American has they want every thing laid out on a silver platter.

The church does have a live webcast, but the announcement is not clear that it will be running for Wright. I’m sure whatever he has to say will make it to the media and give everyone something to talk about for a few days.

Any time a church,a pastor or any religion preaches hate and racial divide instead of love and forgiveness,you don’t belong there,get up and walk away! There are many groups of americans that have been discriminated against,black americans,native americans,irsh american,poor americans,but you don’t use religion to attack the system.You change the system in a democratic way.You certainly don’t sit there with your children and let them listen to someone preach hate and intolerance.Let’s call it what it is,rev.Jeremiah Wright is a racist and a bigot although a black one and anyone who would condone his preachings isn’t far removed.
