But more often than not if you read a several verses before, and several verses after you will get the much needed context. That is what this video did. It gave necessary context to the short video clips the news was showing. The one issue I have is that he uses all inclusive words such as "we" and "us" when describing U.S. atrocities. I would also like to see him tie his sermons up with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653700594861871637.post-42809348330186554452008-03-24T16:16:00.000-07:002008-03-24T16:16:00.000-07:00Really great information.I think is the time to ST...Really great information.<BR/>I think is the time to STOP FOX News Propaganda.

Tell them how horrified you were at the full clip, with all the other awful comments he makes; they'll be anxious to hear and then propigate. As they listen, if they have any intelligence they'll think "this isn't so bad...that makes sense...that was a quote of someone else? that was what he meant?" Then, like the rest of us, they'll get upset, and angry - and we'll have 'swifttruthed' those that tried to highjack what he was saying, crash it into Obama's campaign, and bring it down, with the reputation of Wright and the Trinity United Church as collateral damage. They are as willing to destroy innocents as the 9/11 terrorists, to achieve their ends - they are no different. As the realization spreads that two good people and a 6000-strong christian church were intentionally wrongly defamed in order to damage Obama's campaign, they will have done more to damage themselves and boost Obama than anything Obama himself could have done. If Americans and the rest of the American media do not respond by denouncing and punishing this behavior, then these Rovian methods will continue until they are no longer effective...and then 'god damn America' will be a well and truly deserved curse upon all of us for allowing it to happen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653700594861871637.post-835290169961914332008-03-23T14:43:00.000-07:002008-03-23T14:43:00.000-07:00FOX's Sean Hannity, who whines night after night a...FOX's Sean Hannity, who whines night after night after night about "the Black value system", etc., is Confronted Over His Relationship With Neo-Nazi Hal Turner...<BR/>http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/03/23/sean-hannity-confronted-o_n_92961.html<BR/><BR/>Hate the hypocrisy, love the hypocrite...I guess.expropriatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01021521586817049564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653700594861871637.post-1355034780412355562008-03-22T21:12:00.000-07:002008-03-22T21:12:00.000-07:00I wasn't supportive of Obama before.

That is expected of them.<BR/>Rev Wright it out of the country at the moment. At least CNN tried to show his speech in context, but hardly devoted anytime to the issue.

The media rips and tears things apart and then pieces them back together in a way that benefits those who are seeking power and not change for America. Why do people want to keep us fighting with each other? The beauty of the words that Obama spoke were amazing. It's how I have always felt. As a white woman who was raised in Louisiana, I've grown up seeing the racism, even in my own family. Why? Why do white people hate black people? They didn't ask to be torn away from their families and country and brought here to be tormented and beaten and treated as property. It has just never made sense to me! We are all PEOPLE. No matter what our skin color! It is absolutely rediculous to me that this hatred is still in so many hearts. I know that Obama can make a difference, but I fear that with the media's successful manipulations, that we won't get a chance to see what he can do for this country.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653700594861871637.post-11782595884946148312008-03-22T13:23:00.000-07:002008-03-22T13:23:00.000-07:00My girlfriend and I watched in horror as the event...My girlfriend and I watched in horror as the events on 911 unfolded. The only thing we saw that moved us towards something positive was the coming together of all the races in the United States, we were finally ONE, witnessing so many people helping each other with no regard to race or religion. It took a disaster to get there. Then some few years later we again watched in horror another disaster, Katrina, and we watched our government try hard to destroy race relations in our country by withholding basic life needs to predominantly Black people suffering horribly. I think their intent was to start riots. I am so sorry that Barack Obama has had to put aside his principles in order to stay competitive in the presidential race.

I am a thirty four year old African American woman and I have watched several of your broadcasts dealing with my pastor Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright, Jr. I must say that I am appalled by your and your network's mischaracterization of this man. Furthermore, I must say that although no message can be played in its entirety, the lack of context provided regarding Dr. Wright's "controversial" statements is even more outrageous. Why, out of all the footage aired, are these statements taken and played repeatedly, as if these were the only statements made, out of an entire 20 minute sermon, out of more than 40 years of ministry?<BR/> <BR/>Whether you agree with him or not, which I know you don't, I believe that you are completely missing the point. Historically, the black church was the only institution and medium for which and by which social change could be advanced for blacks. We couldn't vote, were precluded from reading, separated from family, forced to slave in a country that constitutionally recognized us as three-fifths of a person. That's sixty percent. When have you ever lived in a country where the governing laws of your country already defined and confined you, recognizing you as property rather than as a person? <BR/> <BR/>Well let me break it down for you. Let's say that you are at a baseball game. You step up to the plate. You look at the pitcher to try and determine what pitch will be thrown to you. All of a sudden, before you swing, the umpire takes away your helmet, your shoes, and your bat. Your uniform has been stripped away and you are then told you must attempt to hit the ball (still without a bat, mind you) from a crouched position. So even if you attempt to do all of that, you get to first base, and then you are told by the umpire that the rules have changed and now there is no first base but because you didn't get to second base, you are out. So you walk back to the dugout, dirty, disgusted, tired. But the insult doesn't end there because the next batter gets to play with all of the rules and all of the equipment.<BR/>You may ask why to the umpire and he says "it's because you have dark hair."<BR/> <BR/>Now clearly, this is unfair. But Mr. Hannity, what I am trying to get you to recognize is that African Americans have been playing this game way too long without bats, without protection, without fair rules, and all because of who we are. So we invent our own rules and try to make some headway in a society that already has the odds stacked against us. Pastor Wright is no more of a racist than you are a lover of the truth. He loves this country but is holding all of us accountable to our choices, our decisions, and our responsibility to live holy, seeing to do justice and love mercy. His sermons are a mirror to us all, so that we fail to flee from what images reflect back to us. Prophetic preaching, as Pastor Wright has done every Sunday, across this country and this globe, is to "comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comfortable." True spirituality does not reside solely in the pulpit, the synagogue, the temple or the mosque. It involves taking what is learned and applying it to everyday life and for the betterment and uplifting of mankind. <BR/> <BR/>The mischaracterization of my pastor is untolerable. In my more than twenty five years at this church, Pastor Wright has shown how I can reconcile as Dr. W.E.B DuBois describes my "twoness", my African ancestry with my American citizenship. Furthermore, Pastor Wright has encouraged me and undergirded me, helping me to celebrate my Africanity with my Christianity. And ANYBODY who says that politics shouldn't belong in the pulpit has never read any of Jesus' sermons or teachings or have only read them in a vacuum and out of context. <BR/> <BR/>I write this email with a disclaimer. I, at the beginning of this email, have never intended to change your mind about how you feel. I just wanted you to know that this modern day lynching of this man cannot go on and I, for one, will do everything in my Godgiven power to stop it. Consider this notice that the tides will turn, seasons will change, and in the not so distant future, you will remember what is said in Romans 8:28. Here's a soundbite: All things work together for good to those who love God and for those called according to His purpose. So when you see Barack Obama become this nation's next President, please remember this conversation because God's goodness is here and now and will be all the more evident in the future. <BR/> <BR/>See you at the Presidential inauguration in 09!<BR/> <BR/>Sincerely, <BR/>Natasha RobinsonNatasha Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07957606123184046155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653700594861871637.post-25375217043657861082008-03-22T11:18:00.000-07:002008-03-22T11:18:00.000-07:00I'm a big a fan of context as the next guy, and pe...I'm a big a fan of context as the next guy, and perhaps the full one here mitigates things in some ways, but I think many are missing the point of why this guy is such a liability to Obama, and why Obama has done everything <I>short</I> of disowning him.<BR/><BR/>It's not so much the God Damn America thing, or that some white guy agrees with him, but the fact that this guy so forcefully expresses his opinion that America in effect "had it coming". <BR/><BR/>Most people, myself included, view that as ridiculous and offensive. The fact is that the mass-murder which was 9/11 was not motivated by any kind of rational mind, but by brainwashed insane minds. There's no change in foreign policy short of <I>perhaps</I> completely withdrawing from the world, or domestic policy short of mass conversion to Islam, that would <I>perhaps</I> satisfy the kind of "mind" that did 9/11.<BR/><BR/>I really don't think it's good advice for this video, full or in part, to get "more exposure". I really doubt Obama would approve of that. Actually, the full context in a way is even more damning, because it makes clear that he thinks we had 9/11 coming. Not a popular notion except with the extreme left or maybe even right in some cases. <BR/><BR/>Also, I think it's a little unfair to peg this on Foxnews, when pretty much everybody has been playing highly edited clips, as television always does. Wasn't it ABC who really brought this into the national consciousness, and isn't it likely the Clintons who finagled them into doing so? Aren't they the original context violators?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653700594861871637.post-13478859984767073412008-03-22T11:09:00.000-07:002008-03-22T11:09:00.000-07:00This white man recognized Rev.

Here is something that I wrote last night.<BR/><BR/>The Jeremiah Code...<BR/><BR/>Be afraid... Be prepared to feel very uncomfortable. God Damn America... your chickens have come home to roost.<BR/><BR/>With these words, played in an endless 30-second loop, our nation has been introduced to a fearsome firebrand, a hate-America mongerer, a fomenter of violent dissent: the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. And such words have ignited a national response, reheating a cauldron of 400 years of racial history. Blend in a heaping dose of religion and politics and you have just about the toughest kind of heated conversation to wager through.<BR/><BR/>Who is this guy? How is it that, in 30 years of preaching this - judged to be - militant racism, he has not come to national attention before? Why is it that we hear about him not from the shattering of some sacred window by a thrown brick, or through the invocations of some riotous crowd? Why is it that he comes to our attention through the aspirations of a man who is oftentimes cerebral, sometimes truly inspirational, as he speak of hope, possibility, and coming together to resolve our differences?<BR/><BR/>It is as if there has been a murder in the Louvre, and the odd markings of the deceased at once beg my deciphering as they pique my trepidation. Here, a man lies murdered by an instinctive national response - so sure are we that we have heard what we heard, and that we know what it means. <BR/><BR/>Yet the paradox is that this is a man who not only built, over a 30 year period, one of the most vibrant and successful congregations of a major national church and has done it not in some distant land, but right in the heart of one of our largest cities. This is also a man who has graced the halls of the White House, praying with a President, and has been the a distinguished lecturer at such venerable institutions as the University of Chicago and Union Theological Seminary. All three are pillars for me. All three are seminal, not only in the shaping of my life, but in the shaping of our national identity as well. How could something so clear, so out in the open, go unnoticed?<BR/><BR/>One thing is for certain: I cannot find the answer in these 30-second loops - they simply spark a pre-disposed response which may tell me more about the person responding than about this man in question. At the very least, I need to hear the sermons in which they are embedded.<BR/><BR/>Upon further digging, I find that there is, indeed, a context that shapes and shifts their meaning. Even though it has been defended that they spring from the stylistic differences between the "black church" and the "white church", I sense that it goes deeper still.<BR/><BR/>These are highly charged phrases: God Damn America, and your chickens have come home to roost. When I listen to the sermon that contained the latter phrase, given shortly after September 11th, 2001, I find quite different intent and meaning than has been bandied about in the media.I find that not only were they originally the quote of someone else, but they seem to have been used to make a quite different point. Look inward, consider your relationship with God, don't be so ready to judge, or, more appropriately "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" are my take-aways from this sermon. Before you cast a stone, I encourage you to listen to this sermon.<BR/><BR/>I also wonder... those were highly charged days. What if someone made a 30 second loop about some phrase lifted out of the context of a much larger conversation that you or I had during those days? Do sound bites pass for knowledge today? Are they the sum of the man?<BR/><BR/>God Damn America takes me down a different path, especially since it it quickly linked to its following phrase: that's in the Bible. Which Bible? One clue for me is that Dr. Wright is, in fact, Dr. Wright. He holds a masters degree from the University of Chicago, and a doctorate degree from the Union Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio. He has also been conferred 8 honorary doctorate degrees and has taught courses at seminaries and universities throughout this country. In short, he is a theologian of some note.<BR/><BR/>Now, there is religion, with its social traditions, its ritual, its syllabi, and there is theology, which I liken to more of a debate. Theologians consider such things as historical context, social subtext, the significance of missing or excluded documents, and the subtleties of translation. <BR/><BR/>Today, the Bible translation that we are most familiar with came out of 17th century England, which may speak more to the socially acceptable language of that time than to the context of the Middle East of 1 AD and before. To put it simply, it seems plausible to me that the intent of condemning or warning about something in those earlier days is not best conveyed with the phrase "woe unto you". Damn you seems to get to the heart of it a bit better. <BR/><BR/>More generally, why do we have this need to segregate our church language from our street language? Did Jesus preach from a pulpit? When he tacked toward such a radical view as loving your neighbors, be they prostitutes or thieves, he did it in the streets where prostitutes and thieves were. This was some unsettling stuff for those around him. I wonder what the language was like on those streets?<BR/><BR/>As for Dr. Wright's sermon, it was given on April 3rd, 2003 and it was titled "Confusing God and Government". The gist of this sermon is, it seems to me, to be wary, with ample justification throughout history, when governments attempt to align themselves with religious convictions. "Bless me, God, while I bomb these people into oblivion." (my phrase) is not a phrase that makes much sense to me. As Dr. Wright says in this same sermon: "War does not make for peace".<BR/><BR/>Suffice it to say that there is much more in each of these sermons that is thought provoking, and sometimes even quite unsettling. Ironically, I would like to thank Dr. Wright for the unsettling part. He has, in his comprehensive yet unyielding style, stirred me to look more deeply at the way things are presented, to question more about the world around me, and to question more about my relationship with God.<BR/><BR/>I have always noticed that religion seems most prominent, faith seems strongest, at the extremes of life. When we are in great need, whether through stress, loss, injury or oppression, help me God seems to bubble up. When we are joyous - in love, birth, success, surprise - thank you God seems to bubble up. When times are mundane, God seems to fall into the background. I guess it comes down to this: if you are going to give me religion, give it to me shaken and stirred.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Reverend Wright. You have shaken my faith, and made me the richer for it.<BR/><BR/>Rick Rossi<BR/>Essex, CT <BR/>860-767-3317Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15206736540870645286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653700594861871637.post-71671886210976670422008-03-22T09:36:00.000-07:002008-03-22T09:36:00.000-07:00I don't normally do this, but I was moved by Rev. ...I don't normally do this, but I was moved by Rev.

(He'll be 35 miles from me for three days next week...I would like to go to hear and support him, and I'm just a "typical white person.")<BR/><BR/>I hope he minces no words in what will likely be sermons with a lot of media attention. He needs to demand an apology from Hannity, Limbaugh, ABC and Faux News. He needs to press that demand everywhere he goes and to clearly elucidate the justifiable reasons for the demand, perhaps by giving his listeners a brief history lesson on McCarthyism and then decrying the new "patriotic correctness." It may not be popular with the dimwits who have bought into the neo-con slime machine's egregiously out-of-context claims of racism and hate-mongering, but it is the kind of political courage and truth-telling that is badly needed at this point in time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-653700594861871637.post-80099491909489128812008-03-22T07:00:00.000-07:002008-03-22T07:00:00.000-07:00It seems Jeremiah Wright has been taken out of con...It seems Jeremiah Wright has been taken out of context when you finally hear 9 minutes of his sermon over 7 seconds like fox news did just to get high numbers in thier polls,,Shame on You fox news,,!..To play with this prophet's character and play with the American people,,Shame on you!! .Seminarian StudentAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
