NEW YORK – The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama’s controversial former pastor, said in a letter obtained by The Associated Press that he is “toxic” to the Obama administration and that the president “threw me under the bus.”

In his strongest language to date about the administration’s 2-year-old rift with the Chicago pastor, Wright told a group raising money for African relief that his pleas to release frozen funds for use in earthquake-ravaged Haiti would likely be ignored.

“No one in the Obama administration will respond to me, listen to me, talk to me or read anything that I write to them. I am ‘toxic’ in terms of the Obama administration,” Wright wrote the president of Africa 6000 International earlier this year.

“I am ‘radioactive,’ Sir. When Obama threw me under the bus, he threw me under the bus literally!” he wrote. “Any advice that I offer is going to be taken as something to be avoided. Please understand that!”

The White House didn’t respond to requests for comment Monday about Wright’s remarks. Several phone messages left by the AP for Wright at the Trinity United Church of Christ, where he is listed as a pastor emeritus, were not returned. Wright’s spokeswoman, his daughter Jeri Wright, did not immediately comment on the substance of the letter.

Then-Sen. Obama cut ties with Wright when his more incendiary remarks became an Internet sensation in the spring of 2008. At a National Press Club appearance in April 2008, he claimed the U.S. government could plant AIDS in the black community, praised Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and suggested Obama was putting his pastor at arm’s length for political purposes while privately agreeing with him.

Obama denounced Wright as “divisive and destructive” and later cut ties to the pastor altogether and left Wright’s church.

The letter was sent Feb. 18 to Joseph Prischak, the president of Africa 6000 International in Erie, Pa. Wright subsequently agreed to write a letter to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner on the group’s behalf to try to get access to millions of dollars.

Wright’s original letter ranting against Obama’s treatment of him surfaced in an appeal filed by federal inmate Arthur Morrison, boxing great Muhammad Ali’s one-time manager, who was convicted of making phone threats.

Charles Lofton, Wright’s executive assistant, told The Associated Press that he faxed a copy of the letter to Morrison’s attorney as requested. A copy of the faxed letter signed by Wright showed that it was sent from the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago on March 31 to the fax number for Goodwin’s law office in Tulsa, Okla.

Prischak, of Africa 6000 International, is a business partner of Morrison, who has been imprisoned for nearly 18 years after he was convicted of making phone threats between 1989 to 1992 to hospitals where an ex-girlfriend worked.

Prischak told Wright in a Feb. 11 letter that he was seeking the clergyman’s help in reaching out to the U.S. Treasury Department. He said that Uday Hussein, the son of Saddam Hussein, had entrusted 87 million British pounds in 1990 to Morrison and Ali to buy pharmaceuticals, milk and food for the children of Iraq.

Prischak said the money was never spent because Morrison was imprisoned. He sought Wright’s help in lobbying U.S. authorities to permit 25 million British pounds in interest from the money held in an overseas account to be allowed to be sent to faith-based groups for the children of Haiti.

    President Obama shouldn’t have thrown Rev. Wright under the bus. That’s was wrong. Seem like the Pres is trying to hard to please these white folks. I seriously think if the shoe was on the other foot a white President would not have thrown his pastor under the but for speaking the truth.

    For those of us who live in Chicago we know what Rev. Wrong is saying is a lie. He trew himself under the bus with all that B/S he was talking and then got mad because Pres. Obama left him alone for doing so.
    Check the real news and see for yourself.
    Rev.Wrong & Jessie Jackson were not real supporters.

    That’s why Obama likes JayZ so much, and the liken each other to the other. They use people who represent the streets, or ear to the street, for their own street cred, then when they make it, leave your ass in the dust like you never existed and they never associated with you. It was KEY to these 2 getting in with black crowds, but now that they don’t need the black crowds to succeed, since they have whites backing them, POOF you’re gone!

    He did throw him under the bus, He had to disown his ties with the pastor in order for the white liberals to vote for him, almost as if selling his soul. Im surprised he didnt throw his wife under the bus too! He is a politician what do u expect??

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/EbonyBishop/ EbonyBishop

    Wright is an agitator, considering what was at stake at the time, he (Wright) should have had more common sense and kept his ignorant commentary on the low.
    Like it or not, Obama had a game to play and he played it well. As much as it sucks sometimes you have to silence the politics around you if they may ultimately hurt your goals. Wright is where he belongs, on the outside.

    Like I said when all of this first happened…I would have done the same thing.

    “Guilt” by association is a real thing. Obama would NOT have become President if he aligned himself strictly with Wright.

    To those of you saying Rev. Wright was telling the truth. He may well be telling the truth, but as it stands, it’s his OPINION and that opinion is very divisive. That’s something you can’t have if you’re trying to UNITE a country…y’know…as President of the UNITED States??

    It’s as simple as that.

    That said, I’d wager that people on this board are more angry about it than Rev. Wright is. I think the man was just explaining why he felt his advice wouldn’t be acknowledged by the Administration and that they should seek other routes to gain exposure for their cause.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    @EbonyBishop…you are clearly brainwashed. That same :30 soundbyte Hillary leaked to the press, was from a Sermon made years before Obama running. Funny, you use the same word to describe him as was used to describe MLK many times, AGITATOR! Don’t you see that every time someone is bold enough to speak raw truth, they always get branded a hater, an agitator, rabble rouser? One term you RARELY hear though…….LIAR! Why should anyone be afraid to speak the truth?

    @Rev Wright, don’t feel bad, he threw many of the people who worked tirelessly to elect him under the bus as well. This is very telling of the character of the man. He is Politician FIRST and foremost, everything else afterward.

    He shoulda kept it real. Stand by your preacher. Obama was there for 20 years. That is somthing you can’t hide.

    Johnny_walker, you never cease to amaze me! If the truth is “divisive” and should only be spoken if it is palatable, then how then do you “bring a nation together?” IF you put a little thought into that, you would clearly see how impossible it is to do. I want you to imagine you’re in a relationship with your girl, and having problems and she cheated on you. But for the sake of getting back together, were not going to speak on that because it would be a source of division. What are the chances you forming a true and lasting bond? Slim to none is probably too much wishful thinking. No matter how far you sweep something under the rug, it will always be there festering.

    And lets be real practical here. Since when is it the Presidents job to bring the country together? IF that’s true, then EVERY SINGLE PRESIDENT HAS FAILED MISERABLY. A TWO party system exists because of an inability to “bring the nation together as one. (even though both have the same objectives) That’s pipe dream, pie in the sky thinking. Even before the two party system existed, there has ALWAYS been division and dissatisfaction. You Obamaites are so drunk of the Kool-Aid, that it’s now becoming a source of embarrassment!

    Johnny, have you ever stopped and thought, Hey, “Obama didn’t have a problem with Black theological philosophy, UNTIL FOX news had an issue with it (Since he attended, and knew the man for TWENTY YEARS). So please, spare us the “OBama was doing what’s right for the country” speech, that negro was doing what was right for himself!!

    @Sub-Negro, that 20 year bond might as well been “i just met that nigga last week” because that’s exactly how he treated him.

    @capriaCORNYworld. what exactly does living in Chicago have to do with this. Reverend Wright spoke about the 9/11 bombings, and racism in general. Oh and by the way, if you think THe Rev was wrong about 9/11, then go look up a term “BLOWBACK.” It’s a term coined by the CIA!

    I think you need to some fact checking. That sermon Rev Wright gave that was in so much dispute, was given years prior to the 2008 campaign season. If Barack and Michelle cheered and yelled amen to sermons like this for years past, doesn’t now, rejecting this message make them at best hypocrites and at worse, despicable hypocrites? I will answer that for you. YES IT DOES!

    Rev. Wright is a hypo-crypt, he is crying relentlessly, while crying someone should ask him, “What are the babies going to be able to do if he is crying”? Rev. Wright, Obama only did what Jesus would have done, accept he was nice when he threw your ignorant crying self under the bus, truth be told Jesus himself would have kick you under the bus.

    ok i read these comments and some are very true but tell me what would you do. if you have a goal and these white folks throw BS in the mix to discredit u,your govenment and your religous beliefs are things that shouldnt be mixed,you have to play your part at both ends if you wanna get ne where as a black person. and if anything i would think and black man would know how hard it is to get ne thing. Now as im a business owner and working hard to complete my goals, these white people in my city throw things at you to stop you from getting where u gotta go, soo hell i put a white face on my team and played the background and i seen a big diffrence, and now im getting some where as if i put my face out there,imm being question. in this world you have to play the games that are put out there if you wanna win. but personally you can feel what every way u want. Obama knows that man is tell the truth he is a black man too and no matter what he is still seen as a nigga to the whites,you cant give some whites the pieces they need to make you lose the game. That doesnt make sense to say ill stand but my pastor who would hurt the things im trying to accomplish, somethings and people have to be push to the side because they hurt the goal. But once you win the game and its all said and done, people will understand why you did the things you did to get where you wanted to go. Im sorry I dont let nothing get in the way of my goals and dreams . there GOD FAMILY AND MY GOALS every thing else ,will be delt with accordingly…

    @katdaddy2. Keep in mind. Obama knew, respected and LOVED the man for 20 years. At one time and for many years, Obama and Michelle clearly agreed with the sentiments of the good Rev, since he didn’t just all of a sudden start preaching like that. So Obama went from Ride or die, to Ride then Deny!!!!

    How can you trust a dude who blatantly exhibits signs of doublethink?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    @keytoharp. You’re talking something different here. We all know that “game” within the game that needs to be played, in order to be successful. But this is beyond that. I for one am not saying I don’t understand why he did what he did, because I do. My issue is, people are saying he did it for the greater good. But when you ask these people, well what is he doing for black people then it’s “he isn’t the president of black America, but all America.” Well guess what? black America have more dire needs than the rest. When a Surgeon walks into a trauma unit, ain’t the guy with the gunshot wound to the head going to take priority over the guy with a broken arm? Bottom line is, people are suggesting that Obama sacrificed his friendship with one black man, in order to help the millions of other blacks, but yet, he has said OUTRIGHT he will not pay special attention to blacks since a “rising tide, lifts all boats.” Some of you applaud that foolishness. I ask, go see what he says when he addresses the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee. That negro can’t stress enough HOW hard he is willing to work to maintain and keep Israel safe and in tact.

    well for me there isnt a greater good in ne one ,i feel he did what he had too, i dont agree with every thing this man does, but i do agree that he is working on something for the good of people, just cause then man is black doesnt mean that this is a black american and that black need this special treat meant. Yes we are in dire need of a lot but soo is every thing else, he is one man, with a big job.Im not going to say he is pushing black down while working on the world affairs but some of these thing are already in place before he got in. i total agree with how u feel to a point.,but i dont expect him to be the big black hope to save us blacks. we also have to work on ourselves and make us strong , not looking at handouts i like his cause but i will not prise this man till i see the work done, i care less bout how he feels about his pastor,but like u said i understand . america really dont like truth, so u feed the false and do what u want behide close doors and that what i think is going on or going to go on

    This dude is still crying? Man cry me a river…You know what, yes he got thrown under the bus. And he needed to get thrown under the bus. Obama was running for president and needed a majority of votes to get there. Co-signing Rev. Wright’s sentiments would have been the death knell for his campaign. Rev. Wright had to have the common sense to know that. But instead of just shutting the fcuk up and going somewhere while Obama ran for president, he has to go off and keep putting himself out there. Obama had to choose between the presidency and him….He got backed into a corner….and, sorry, he made the choice he had to make. Maybe the good Rev. will learn to play his position the next time.

    Sorry but Rev. Wright’s behavior amounts to some n*gga mess IMO.

    Please….

    OBAMA rolled all 97% of BLACKS that voted for him under the BUS! He took our votes and wiped his ass with them. He has shown a concerted effort to avoid any black agenda. Who cares if he rolled WRIGHT under the bus…OBAMA SAT UNDER him for 20 years, whites arnt stupid he didnt stop believing in WRIGHT or FARRAKHAN he thinks he fakes SATAN out by rolling folks under the BUS.
    But they are planning night and day to roll him under the BUS. And when they are done with him, the BLACK community wont want him. So forget what OBAMA dont like. He dont like what the whiteman dont like…If whites were all over FARRAKHAN and WRIGHT these NEGRO leaders like Jesse and AL Sharpton would be trying to kiss them. But the JEWS bought out Jesse Jackson and now GOLDMANSACHS funds him, so he cant stand strong at all. Same with AL Sharpton, some Jew done gave him some money, now hes saying we dont need a black agenda, and POST racial America….Now he hides and protest on Radio..Hes weak, and dont need to be infront of us anylonger…We need the youth to take a stand. OBAMA sold us out, and our former leaders did too for a spot next to Barry Santoros(OBAMA). The only man left standing for us is LOUIS FARRAKHAN..

    Moreover..
    Who the hell does Wright think he is? I mean you cant call a man names, then ask him to help you to help others…Wright killed himself with his rants..HE DIDNT LIE THO. He just did it with malice…He should have waited til OBAMA showed us that he was selected before he was elected(FARRAKHAN). He should have waited til OBAMA started disses black causes. But like a slave who thinks hes truly free, he finds himself trying to get a drink of water from a well he threw trash in. WRIGHT WAS DUMB FOR THAT..HE AINT FARRAKHAN

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    @keytoharp. DO I think things would have been better or worse under McCain? Impossible to say. All I know is in a time of economic collapse, spending and increasing the debt IS NOT the way to come out of that. Just think about in your own household, and if the bills start to outnumber the income, what’s the first thing you try to do? Look to cut spending right? So if you’re going out twice a week for entertainment, I’m sure you would look there first for cuts. Obama (really his team, because he DOES NOT dictate monetary policy) have continued to spend, while the FED Reserve continues to print money, creating hyperinflation. THis will be so subtle my brother, that not only will many not notice it until it gets really bad, but the average person won’t even realize how we got there. The ignorant among us will still continue to blame Bush, but the fact is, Obama has ran two months with the highest deficits in the history of the nation. His projected deficit will be 1.6Trillion this year, two hundred billion higher than the record……..which he set last year. My brother, deficit spending can’t continue, soon the bill will have to be paid, but Democrats are good for kicking the can down the street. Many People HAVE NO CLUE that a lot of the Bush increase in Government spending came from legislation from the Clinton admin. Another thing people may not realize, this entire Credit Default Swap mess, from the Subprime mortgage mess was facilitated by BILL CLINTON repealing Glass-Stegall. This act was put in place essentially to stop these wicked thieves from gaming the system. Clinton once again gave these crooks the ability to STEAL trillions from Tax payers, and when the bottom fell out in 2008, who got bailed out? Now sure Bush signed the bailout package, but who stopped campaigning so he could run back to Washington to vote YES for it?

    We need to stop this lesser of two evil argument, because the fact is, it’s impossible to quantify evil in the first place, so although you may think so, you may NOT be voting for the lesser of the two. OBama’s campaign won the 2008 Marketer of Year award from Advertising Age magazine, beating out Apple and Nike. I’m sure you’re fully aware what is at the crux of “marketing!”

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Rhemawrd/ Rhemawrd

    Wright is just another opportunist preacher looking for another excuse to remain relevant in the media. This is just his next gambit at getting national attention. Obama didn’t roll him under the bus. Wright dove under it by venemously dropping the N bomb 27 times in a single sermon. He is still clinging to a ridiculous 50 year old dogma of what he calls “Black Liberation Theology”. For those who think that Obama through all Blacks under the bus,when are you going to stop complaining about the lack of government handouts for you, and do something for yourselves. You seem to praise the ideologies of Elijah Muhammed while conveniently forgetting that the same man said that we needed nothing from the white man. And though you have a Black man in the White House, just who do you think is really running things in America? It certainly isn’t the president. Wake up.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    @Keytoharp. To your second post, I agree 100% on your sentiment about working and doing for self. My issue really always is, these people who have NO CLUE, and whenever someone offers up good and reliable scholarship, foolish blacks want to dismiss it as hate. If you listen to the responsible people of the tea party, you will see, they are opposed to increased Government spending. Silly blacks, including many of the staff writers here at ZeroNews, focus in on the fringe elements of this group and try to convince people that the leaders of these movements are attacking Obama because he is black. If you read up on Austrian economics, and just measure that up with Keynesian economics, pure logic and common sense will tell you which program is more sensible. But the fact is, only with Keynesian economics, can you have guys game the system to the tune of trillions. Can’t do that with Austrian. Now I’m not a Austrian economist proponent, because I see that system as being flawed as well, but there is no doubt that if these politicians were governing under those rules, we WOULD NOT be suffering the type of devastation you see going on in Greece, Italy, Ireland, Romania, and coming soon to a State near you!

    Okay, first off. Obama didn’t throw Wright under the bus it is the other way around.
    Obama ignored the negative press re: Wright but then Wright went on a media tour when he saw his opportunity for 15 minutes of fame. He spoke in front of the Washington Press Club. I saw it and I can tell you I was embarassed for him. He showed his butt. That’s when Obama cut all ties and quite honestly I didn’t blame him.
    Obama was running for the presidency and Wright was doing whatever he could to derail his campaign.
    Then he saw himself cut off from the WH and was like Whoa is Me. Please.

We as people allow these thing to happen then play the blame game ,it there job to make sure this is not happening and that is way things are the way it is.we give them the power to screw us, and thats for all of them Mccain bush and obama.

    he has to spend because it is more then just bills not being paid. if my bills are high and rent is due.. ima take some of that money and invest it into something(businesses) that will benifit the family(people), and look for opportunities(associates/allies), humble up(like how he apologized to the middle east)because they have all of the resources(oil/gas), and the far east(china/japan), we are in debt to them and we are seen across the globe(including european nations) as a arrogant nation.. the republicans are on his ass.. LOOK regardless what happens he has health care for the people.. he has to FIGHT for every inch(anything he do, the otherside will challenge him, slowing progress up)..if he conducted his self the way alot of these BLACK leaders/the population wanted him to act, he would surely be assasinated.. NO DOUBT.. i wouldnt be surprise if he got knocked off now… we never thought a TOM would get in.. now he is reppin the people, all that he IS(NOT CONSIDERED) which is NIGERIAN AND WHITE AMERICAN(physically), raised by asians(and culture is more significant then race, if you dont believe that, then ask our latin brothers and sisters if they are black or latino).. he got to FINESSE it.. he struttin like a brother.. when the police came to the house and a black man was taken down town, he said it could have been racial.. lol! the country was gettin ready 2 fall apart.. save ur self.. create ur OWN business. associate with a tight circle.. independently..

    @keytoharp….Ahhhh…Brother, I knew there was some common ground between us, and I knew eventually, we would both find it and I’m glad we did. My underlying point was, Obama is no better nor worse than all the other Presidents that preceded him.

    Reading is the key, but being able to process information is even better. Many people will tell you that they do read, but if you start to ask questions, you find that they have merely accepted the opinion of the writer, and have become experts at regurgitating other people’s opinion. If you read the op ed pieces on this site, you will see how they ALL share a common thread. No alternative views. This is why we need writers on this site that can offer an opposing viewpoint, but apparently, that’s not allowed!

    If I was President Obama I would ignore him too. Damn, the man is trying to go places and do things, not sit around with you. Personally, I have no interest in pastors, priest or whatever. I can pray to God all by myself. I don’t need to go through them for God to hear me. Wright seriously need to sit down somewhere and STFU. Obama has no use for him. To what with exactly, help hold him back. Lord knows so many are against him already so he definately don’t need more by associating with the likes of Wright.

    Jeremiah Wright is an attention addict long overdue to a fix. He is currently suffering from his own insignificance as he presumes to “give advice” to a sitting President whose campaign his incendiary remarks almost served to derail. “Mr.” Wright (as Reverand is too strong a compliment) needs to go away quietly, or simply shut the hell up!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/theopolus20/ theopolus20

    That’s why i believe that any man that endorses or attempts to represent a religion,and utilizes that religion as an engine to change public,political, and economic policies,will inadvertently,unleash a spiritual backlash of a firestorm so intense,that those to whom belong,to that religion will literally turn on each other,It amuses me to no end that foolish man,attempts to use,theology to effect change,and reconciliation.When you utilize religion in that manner,you are adding fuel that will ignite the spiritual primordial principalities,that operate through,cowardly,wicked,evil men,that hide behind political,institutional,and religious principalities of authority.President Obama was given no other choice,but to throw him under the bus.There was a movie,that i looked at years ago,called Troy. In the movie,Achilles walked right up to the enemy gates to challenge,Hector to the death for killing,his kinsman.Now hector ,had a first hand account of the fearless,fighting prowess of Achilles,and he wanted to use words to appeal to Achilles sense of honor,by placing a obligation on him based upon the customs of men.Achilles answered in a way that clearly defines how,war should be waged.He told him,Hector this,there is no pact between Lions and Men.There are men,at least that what they call themselves,who hunt Lions,they even have the heads of lions upon the walls of their trophy room.Now they suppose to be masculine,the essence of what is male,but they are not willing,are able to meet or challenge that lion,with or on the claim of being a man.Now putting that in context,concerning us,they the white man,are not able to meet or challenge us on common ground,as men,fully convinced,that their claim of masculine superiority,will enable them to survive the encounter.So what do they do,like a cowardly hunter they seek to uses weapons that keeps them out of harm’s way.What are those weapons,politics.institutions,economic ,and last but not least,religion.So what do they want you to do,try to use the same weapons that they use,politics,institutions,economics,and last but not least religion.You see Hector knew that he could not beat Achilles,because,Achilles was always aware of himself and the effect he had on others.So Hector thought that if he could insert,military customs upon the mind of Achilles it could even the odds,in his favor.But,Achilles,ever aware,turn his tactic back upon him,by declaring,that he,Achilles was a lion,and that Hector was a mere man.You see your enemies don’t mind when you oppose him with his secular and religious constructs because your actions make it possible to determine where you going and when you will arrive at the appointed place,for the assassin’s bullet.God said be not conformed to this world but be ye transformed,by the renewing of your mind.A lion fights to kill,he doesn’t fear man,and he doesn’t use the weapons of man,and he chooses his own mode of attack.P.S.Only God make men,that live,fight,and die,like Lions.

    _A_
    You’re taking my comment to a level I didn’t write.

    You’re taking a lot of leaps of faith there. No matter how much we pretend to be insightful, neither you, I, nor anyone else on this site has any clue what was going through Obama’s head during his campaign for the Presidency…SAVE for ONE thing:

    HE WANTED TO BE PRESIDENT MOST OF HIS LIFE.

    Even longer than he knew Rev. Wright, I’m sure.

    In order to do so, he needed to become a NON-divisive candidate. Meaning PRO-USA. In order to do that, he distanced himself from those who had various ANTI-USA views. (G**-Damn America, anyone?) I never said that it was something best friends do to each other, I just said it was the right thing to do, given his dream of becoming POTUS. Once again, I would have done the same thing.

    Out of the BILLIONS of people who have lived under the American flag, only 43 (I say again..FORTY-THREE) have been called President of the United States. NONE of them with darker-than-manilla-folder-skin. And you’re sitting at your desk lamenting how one man had to be ‘thrown under the bus’ to achieve that title?

    If anything, _A_ I would have expected someone like you to be HAPPY that a man who listened to Rev. Wright for so many years is in the White House right now.

    In any case, if I was Rev. Wright, I would have COMPLETELY understood. As I said before, I think _A_ and others are more angry about it than the good Reverend is.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Harvey33/ Harvey33

    I really can’t belive that the folks here on Black Planet are saying the same things that the white media has said about Rev.Wright. He did not look for the spotlight nor did he say he hated the U.S, Have any of you ever been to his church or did you see the whole sermon? No. You defend President Obama and put down any person that has the nerve to call him out.We have a 5min memory in this country. Remember it was Sean Hannity and Fox Klan who keep pushing this story for nearly 2 years. He start to callout the so-called media about not asking who he knew and if he really love america. Racist whites(not all are racist) have been doing this s**t for nearly 500 years tell us who we should or should not listen to. They did this with Malcolm X and yes they did this with Dr.King,but if you were watching tv today they would tell you that everyone love King black and white. Alot of what Rev.Wright said was the same as King but the media got you thinking all King did was have a dream.Yes there were blacks who did not support King and the media and the schools don’t like to talk about that because if we knew who did not have our backs we would come to find out that those in power now were truly House N****rs that help create the issue that we now have. Did i vote for Obama? Yes. Now that he’s been in office for 16 month he has done nothing to help the people who voted 97 to 98% for him.Don’t get me wrong I’m not silly enough to belive that Obama was gonna change things that been in place for hundreds of years. But he could have change Nafta or gave bailout to neighborhoods that have been hard hit by the sub-prime mess or that had jobs leave to go overseas and get tax cuts.He can defend The LGBT Community Defend the Latin Community go to the white community but tell us A Rising Tide Lifts all or tell our people to stop feeding our kids Popeyes chicken or tell blackmen to step up a take care of our children like all blackmen are baby daddies. The media stood outside his former church and harass the men women and children who went to that church for weeks and when he gave a speech in Detroit on a Saturday evening the media cut there programs just to see if he would say something.And they tried and tried to make something of that.Then he gave an interview to Bill Moyers and that still wasn’t enough. But that monday at the press club at first he keep it very low key them that white so-called jew and the rest start to ask dumb questions like do he love america and ask him how can he stand with Farrakhan etc. And guess what he stood up for himself and the white media got pissed and the black media or lack of media got scared and took the side of the racist. Remember what that fat f**ker Tim Russert did Charley Gibson and George Stephanopouls did what Hillary Clinton did and said. What about Andrew Young and Bob Johnson talking about how Bill Clinton was more black then Obama but when Jesse Jackson said it we went crazy over it.NOT ONE BLACKMAN OR WOMAN STOOD BY REV.WRIGHT.But this man stood buy them. He loves this country enough to call it on its BULLS**T. He served in the U.S Miltary went back to his people to help them get a better life. But yet we diss him at every step. Remember Oparh went to his church and Tamron Hall(formerly of Fox 32 in Chicago)MSNBC went there becuase it was the place to be in chicago.( I know this because I’m from chicago and there are aleast 30 churches they could have went to before they gone way to his chruch)Obama didn’t even go to Memphis on the 40th Anniversary of Kings Death. When Tavis Smiley had his Black forum he did not come but said my wife could come. What did we do tell Tom Joyner to get rid of him. And stupid me I went against everything I stood for and gave him a pass. He has spoke about Kanye West being a Jackass but said nothing when Joe Wilson diss him with YOU LIE. When Micheal Jackson died he wouldn’t even say anything in public. What about the couple who got into the white house last year? Nothing happen but the media and the white house blamed Desiree Rogers. What about Van Jones,Acorn etc. Stop defending Obama.He’s a House N****r. Rev.Wright was correct about him. Brothers and Sisters open your eyes.He will not get my vote again.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/GOT-FLAVA1/ GOT-FLAVA1

    And how is this news? Both Obama and Wright Marxist and socialist. Both are radicals that believe in the redistribution of wealth and turning the United States into a welfare state. Dont believe me? Just google the “Fabian Society” and see how it mirrors Obama’s agenda. Let me not expose Obama’s con with the Cap and Trade agenda. Dont believe me? Look up “Chicago Climate Exchange”. Obama’s goal is pave way to global govt. Look up “Maurice Strong” and his “Earth Charter” and Obama’s links.

Wake the F**k Up People.

And now all of a sudden Barry just washes his hands free of that hatred? C’mon. Barry should have just kept it real. But if he did keep it real, he wouldnt be president. So that means Obama will change his views in order to win instead of keepin it real. I still would have never voted for him. Black people: real recognize real!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Harvey33/ Harvey33

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/acallender1/ acallender1

    Rev. Wright was speaking the truth at the pulpit. But at the flipside Rev. Wright is also, like all of these fake pastors out there pimping the church and its members. Obama had to do what he had to do in order to get elected, by the 65% white population, because only the 14% Black vote will not get you the win. Behind the sceens they are still cool because they are both in the Boule clique and Mason. Obama said it in CNN that after he got elected, he went to Rev. Wright’s Masion to talk, prey, and celebrate his win to the Presidency So it is all good by them two.

    Word to the wise: It is all a game!!! and the game is to get paid!!!
    Nobody is mad at nobody in Politricks–It is all a big show–like WWF
    The Dems and The Reps they are all cool behind the sceens, the show is
    for broke asses to get caught up in it, like a soap opera show and

    While some of this is correct in the Black community that we understand what’s going on with the government, sometimes u need to STFU when Black folks is running for President, feel me?
    I see it as Wright wanting his 15 mins when O was popular as a senator. Why speak out when the man was trying to win an election? I believe that is the source of the beef.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Harvey33/ Harvey33

    Look folks Just because a black man or women make it? Does not mean we do not get to callout their Bulls**t. We as a people seem to belive everything the white media say about blacks more so blackmen when they have the balls to speak up. Once again Rev.Wright did not start this it was Sean F**king Hannity and Fox klan and the so-called Liberal news network. Think about it they attack Farrakhan for defending a Blackman attack Jackson for a remake he said 26 years ago. Then go after Rev.Wright for pointing out something that a dummy could see.We defend Rappers Actors and Sport stars who do nothing with us,but diss those who have put their lives at risk so you and I can move around with respect. I often wonder if Malcolm X and King children ever say our fathers were killer for House n****rs and Field n****rs. Take time to study.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MrWantSomeNewBooty/ MrWantSomeNewBooty

    I also 2nd what Harvey33 said. However, in all fairness, what do you expect President Obama to do. While I personally have nothing against Rev. Wright, if President Obama welcomed him with open arms and talked to him openly he would get all types of backlash and not just from conservatives / republicans. Again, I have much respect for Rev. Wright, but sometimes he can be his own worse enemy with his rhetoric….. which I don’t have a problem with but I can see some members of our society having a problem with the things he has said. Especially the folks at “Faux Snooze.”

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MrWantSomeNewBooty/ MrWantSomeNewBooty

    I also agree that Rev Wright did not spew hatred. He only spoke the truth and pointed out the wrongs of America and why we as black people have built up frustration from years of poverty, oppression and mediocrity or status-quo.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Harvey33/ Harvey33

    MrWantSomeNewBooty and acallender1 Thankyou,And I get that the conservatives/republicans are gonna use Rev.Wright but it was the left yelling more so.So what does that tell us about the left.It’s just as racist as the right is just that they know that they can’t hold office without us.So we as a people gotta get smart and make them work for our vote.Maybe I love myself and my people to much and when they hurt I hurt.I pray that we snap out of whatever that devil and his woman has done to us soon or it just might be to late. As I said before REV.WRIGHT was right.Did being President mean that much to him that he would sale his soul for it??

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Harvey33/ Harvey33

    I ask you this Rush Limbaugh said he wanted President Obama to fail do we call him out? Rush,Sean,Beck and O’reilly say some very sexist and racist things do we tell them to shut up?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_A_/ _A_

    @Johnny_Walker. First off, NO WAY I’m more angry about it than Rev WRight, because I prefer to save my anger for things that really matter. Now, I’m not sure if your “he wanted to be President his whole life” is a direct quote from the man or a presumption on your part. Lets say that’s an accurate quote. I find it terribly difficult to believe that a man who is said to be so intelligent, wouldn’t have felt that aligning himself with a Black Liberation Theologian wouldn’t have jeopardized this dream of his in the future. Also working with Louis Farrakhan and Father Pfleger???? These three alone would POISON any chances of political success, so why would Obama be working with them in his early years in Chicago?

    I see you too have accepted the incorrect use of the words (God Damnn America.) I mean, don’t you think you owe it to me, yourself and all those who will read your comments, to at least put those words in proper context? But more importantly, how do you reconcile the fact that OBAMA and MICHELE heard those and similar sentiments for 20 years, and never felt compelled to disown him until SEAN and O’Reilly made it an issue? You are giving Obama way too much credit here. You are trying to revise the actual events and make it seem as though Obama was so repulsed by these words, that throwing his friend of 20 years under the bus was forced upon him, but in reality, this negro acted just like these negroes you see on the “first 48.” As soon as a little pressure is applied, they start singing like Chicken George, trying to save their own azz.

    At the end of the day, trust me, I DO UNDERSTAND what Obama did and why he did it, but just because I understand it, doesn’t make it any less shameful and disgraceful, and shows that the man is indeed a true politician and will say any and everything to curry favor with his audience of that day.

    Google the term doublethink, and you will see an accurate description of how this man operates!

    Bravo HARVEY33, BRAVO! Brother you have eloquently summed up this entire issue. All these negroes do is accept who the white man props up as our leaders and diss those the white man doesn’t accept. If the White man loved Rev Wright, all these Negroes would love him, and you would see black leaders scrambling to get him to speak at their church! I’m glad you mentioned MLK and Malcolm. Many cats aren’t old enough (actually neither am I) to remember how harshly and rudely these two men were treated…..by BLACK PEOPLE. Many NEGROES of that day used the language of their slavemasters and called them agitators and troublemakers, and many of them wouldn’t even let the man visit their church. Fast Forward 30 years, they repackaged him, stripped from him, that which they considered controversial, then parade him around the world as a great dreamer. In my younger days, I used to HATE MLK. Yes it’s true, because I looked at him as some TOM negro just begging to eat and shop where white folks were. It wasn’t till years later I started to understand the depth of this man, and I also saw why it was absolutely necessary for him to be killed. The man was NOT A DREAMER, he was a freedom fighter. Same goes for Rev Wright. This man speaks truth to power, and although I don’t know all that much about the man, the little that I do know says he is a man that loves black people.

    And quite frankly, if Rush, Sean, Bill, Glen and SArah and a host of others, all hate the man, then I know for sure, HE LOVES ME.

    The enemy of my enemy is my friend!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MrWantSomeNewBooty/ MrWantSomeNewBooty

    I do vaguely remember MLK and I was a little too young to remember Malcolm X when he was murdered, but there have been many great black leaders throughout history. Some good and some not so good or should I say some were not accepted by the majority of our society. Rev Wright is a good man and an honest man who tells it like it is, but we all know that if President Obama associated with him that he wouldn’t have a snow balls chance of getting re-elected. White folks actually have someone in Rev Wright that they can actually openly hate.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Harvey33/ Harvey33

    _A_ I also agree when you said that King and Malcolm had to be killed. Because if blacks and white started to think for themselves the ones in power lose that power to control.And what King and Malcolm said spoke to all people.

    @ kjw_south, then if you don’t like it, why don’t you vote for someone else in 2012? You can cry all you want to for Rev Wright, but he is a grown man with his own agenda and he will be okay. President Obama didn’t fool anyone. The people elected him because they wanted a change from George Bush and the Repuke…. I mean Republican party and their policies. Also, it is obvious that McCain and Palin weren’t a good option for America either. While I feel for Rev Wright, he has to take responsibility for his own actions and words. I’m not totally disagreeing with what he said, but what does he expect?

    @You on Point!! Harvey33, as Black people after Obama, we have to make any new politrickin clown earn our vote. But like D.L. Hughley said in his show that we needed Obama to win this time, because Blacks have been gettin their assess kick for so long. D.L.Hughley also, put in a soccer match analogy of 43 to 1 or 1 Black Prez to their over 40 whites and that’s an ass kickin, but thats cool. The important thing is that the ultimate glass ceiling has been broken–The Presidential Office no longer a White Only Office. Black People: we need to worry about our mission to come up!!!

    @ _A_ Has some good Points-On them TOM as Negroes-I agree Peace UP!!

    @ MrWantSomeNewBooty–I agree with all your Post Here!! Rev.Wright speaks the truth on Amerikkka, but like most of the pastors nowdays they are out for their dolla dolla bills-Rev Wright owns a Mansion and Yacht-Youtube it!

    @MrWantSomeNewBooty. I’m perplexed by your comment that Rev Wright needs to take responsibility for his actions. Not that I don’t understand that, but what I don’t understand is you made that comment then right after AFTER you said you agree with the truth he spoke. So are you saying now, that due to negative reactions to speaking truth, one should opt not to do so? Lets please keep in mind, these comments WERE NOT MADE while Obama was running. These comments were dug up from a past sermon. Anyone find it strange that for a man that has been preaching for close to 40 years, they could only find one or two :30 soundbytes to use against him? It’s important that we see the bigger picture here. Obama has been allowed to become President, while his agenda has been handwritten for him, so like the dutiful servant, he follows orders. Lets not get it twisted. There was NO REAL change coming to this system. When is the last time he has even proposed a real and effective change to the way things are being done in Washington? It’s not hard to tell. When he starts stepping on real and important toes, you will hear them scream out loudly. Right now, the Unions, Wall Street bankers and big business barons, have been silent. In fact, in the first quarter of this year, Goldman Sachs made money on every single trading day possible. By all accounts, this is a statistical improbability, yet one of the leading contributors to the financial collapse seems to be thriving and making record profits.

    CONTINUITY WE CAN BELIEVE IN!!!

    I don’t particularily care for Obama, but cutting ties with Wright was the smartest thing he could do. Still wondering why it took a presidency to cut himself from a man that is obviously full of hate.

    I think Rev. Wright is a man of God and he is speaking the truth. A real man would have said that is my Pastor and God said touch not my annointed. Even if we do not agree with everything our preacher says we still do not let anyone talk about our pastor.
    This showed that Obama will not stand for anything but switch with whomever is at his best interest. If you don’t stand for something you will fall for anything.
    Character is something I think our President lacks because don’t tell me what I want to hear, speak the truth and it will set you free. Rev. Wright speaks the truth which white America which Obama kisses up too is difficult to hear. What is happening in Arizona is a prime example of what America represents. Why hasn’t the president stepped up and took control? He was not too busy to visit with the professor who was abused by the police.
    Rev. Wright keep on preaching and loving the Lord. Speak the honest unadultured truth.
    Too God be the Glory

    I agree with Rock 42063. What type of cheese should I offer Rev. Wright with all that “whine”. He needs to “get over it” and spend more time in prayer.

    Didn’t he throw himself under the bus when he broke the 3rd Commandment?

    You threw yourself under the bus because you talk too much and you don’t know how to play the game like the rest of the lousy politicians and clergy men jocking for position!
