You've seen this, right?

Can you imagine?  Someone talking about race like we're adults?  It's weird, right?

Anyway.  Regarding this Rev. Wright madness.   I would just like to say, I find the consternation of the alleged Christians who are all hyped up about his remarks truly whack because:

a) Liberation Theology.  Not exactly an obscure concept to anyone who knows, uhm, anything about Christianity, especially in the context of the Civil Rights movement in the US; and

b) The United Church of Christ.  Not exactly a whackass cult, just a MAINSTREAM CHRISTIAN DENOMINATION, with roots in the 17th century (the origin of the Congregational church, which merged with the Evangelical & Reformed Church in the 1950s).  I am a titch biased because this is the church I belong to, of course, but come the eff on, morons, don't piss me off by suggesting it's some lunatic fringe freakshow.  I'm happy to be part of a church associated with Rev. Wright, who is a respected thinker in liberation theology and religion in general.  So there!  And finally,

c) That no one is familiar enough with the Biblical story of the Prophet Jeremiah (who's Wright's namesake, of course), who was thrown into a pit to die because people in power thought he didn't love his country enough (although he spoke to his countrymen out of love), is just so effing IRONIC, I could spit nails.

It's nice to hear him actually talk about race like a grown up. Maybe he should have tried that awhile back? You know, when he was talking about being like a blank screen that people could project images of themselves on. That's sort of when I decided that between his striking a pose every 1 - 3 minutes during his speeches, as if he were in Madonna's video Vogue, and his total failure to actually explain what precise changes we were in for and what exactly he was going to do differently than Hillary on getting us out of Iraq (which, as it turns out, is exactly nothing) I didn't like him.
Now, when he says he went to a church that was teaching his young daughters hatred towards whites for 20 years-- but he never noticed it, I pretty much hate the guy. They say the Clintons lie----not even they ever tried anything that obvious and on a subject this sensitive to everyone.
You know Carter quit the Southern Baptist Convention when they were taken over by the uber righties. He never lost his faith, still goes to church--hell he still teaches Sunday school regularly. So, this Obama not turning his back on that vicious preacher makes me sick. God and faith is what Obama is now hawking like a GOPmeister. And,you support him? Yes, well, you go right ahead and vote for him so you can tell yourself you have washed your hands clean of any white guilt over slavery.....it's working wonders for millions of others.
