NEWS: Angry Black Men Are Scary

POLITICS: Angry Black Men Are Scary

America seems to be in a lot of trouble. We have a possible Democratic presidential candidate who has been spiritually mentored by a black pastor who is clearly a madman. Obama’s pastor, Jeremiah Wright, actually said things out loud that any true American would never agree with. This is unparalleled in American history and we should now be very suspicious of Senator Obama.

For those of you unaware of Wright’s horrifying “hate speech,” here is a sample.



This is disturbing. I cannot believe any politician would be associated with a man who uses such hateful language. Never in the history of America have we faced such a troubling situation. We have a long history of compassionate and loving religious leaders influencing our political leaders.

It seems like just yesterday that the kind and wonderful Religious Right leader Francis Schaeffer was delivering his loving words to America.

God bless him and his sweet call for the violent overthrow of the US government. Years of making these types of comments got Francis invited to lunch with Presidents Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford and George Bush Sr. – as he should have been. He was a true American.

Wright’s comments, on the other hand, are inexcusable, especially when compared with some of our nation’s greatest spiritual leaders, like Pat Robertson.

He was right, of course. Foggy Bottom is the nickname for the State Department’s DC headquarters. Pat knows that the State Department has spent years trying to kill us and therefore, should be annihilated with a nuclear weapon. God bless him for his kind and understanding heart.

Comments like this are the reason George W. Bush relied on Pat Robertson as a trusted consultant. And we should be thankful that he did so, unlike the horrible Jeremiah Wright, who clearly hates America. See, President Bush understands that Pat does not have a hateful bone in his body. The nuclear weapon Pat spoke of was made by Jesus. He only wants what is right for our country and the people living on her soil.

Pat is just carrying on the tradition of warmhearted American spiritual leaders. The recently departed Reverend Jerry Falwell was another great man of God. After 9/11 he helped to heal our nation.

God bless you, Reverend Falwell -- and Pat Robertson for agreeing. Statements like this are the reason Falwell had an open line to the White House and called whenever he wanted.

Falwell's passing was a great loss, according to our political leaders.

John McCain

George W. Bush

Yes, indeed. George even sought the advice of his "loyal friend" Jerry when selecting Supreme Court nominees.

John McCain’s has a new friend, pastor John Hagee, who has often expressed his Jesus-like views of the Katrina disaster.

Bless you, John Hagee, that is exactly why you have "the ear of the White House." You embody the spirit of Jesus and American patriotism.

Preach on, brother! Clearly the man loves America, because he says the liberal coasts will experience nuclear warfare. That’s patriotism. Hateful Jeremiah Wright could learn something from love filled John Hagee.

Jeremiah Wright’s language is so hateful that I can barely contain myself. How dare anybody know him! Look at this drivel.

It’s not the kind of speech we are used to hearing from our white, white, and very white ministers. It doesn’t include the usual simplistic attack on a minority because of their sexuality. Nor does it justify the deaths of thousands because of their ideology. Wright does not call for the death of American citizens living on the coasts of America and he doesn’t hope for the nuclear destruction of a department of the US government. What a jerk.

Wright has the gall to suggest that there is a link between the United State’s bombing of or meddling in other countries, and the desire of fanatics to attack America. The last thing America wants is to hear someone speak the truth. For God’s sake, the man is saying there is a cause and effect relationship. BUT HE’S NOT BLAMING QUEERS! Didn’t he get the fucking memo? God lets terrorists kill us because men are putting their penises in other men’s bottoms.

Here are the things Jesus hates:

The State Department
The IRS
Global Warming
The UN (Oh man, does Jesus hate the UN)
Old Europe
Gays (duh)
Liberals
Jews
Muslims
Anybody but Christians, actually
People who don’t own guns
Soccer
ACLU
Abortionists
Feminists

That's it. Anything not on that list, Jesus does not hate. Those are the subjects our spiritual leaders are allowed to cover. Or, at least our white religious leaders.

This entire “controversy” never would have erupted if Wright was a white man. That is so fucking obvious – and if you don’t think so, then you are a moron. This is white America getting angry at an uppity black man. This is the side of the US that whites would like very much to keep hidden away, out of view. Angry blacks are supposed to shoot and murder, not speak in ways that force us to think. This is the kind of shit that makes us look at ourselves and we don’t like it. That’s two hundred years of justifiable anger. A lot of people thought they were getting a nice house Negro in Obama, but now they find out he's been hanging out with the angry field Negroes. And they lost their minds. The hypocritical reaction of those who give the Robertsons of the world a pass is sickening.

God damn America is right.

The Republicans idiots will continue to hammer this point home, even after what may have been the best speech in modern politics two days ago. They will ignore the vile hate spewing out of the mouths of their insane religious leaders and continue their constant attacks on Wright. And no “journalist” will ever call if for the obvious racist attack it is. Because this America -- and we have the worst media in the free world.

Personally, I've never been in a church and heard this kind of shit. In a predominantly white or black church. Apparently I live in another America where blacks, whites, asian, and hispanics can all go to an assembly together and practice their faith without having to hear their pastors political views spewn from the pulpit as if it was the word of God.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

this is what I've been screaming at every passing person and car and bus for the last week. your version is just funnier.

What makes even less sense is that Clinton is gaining (poll) ground as a result of this.

I still don't get what the big deal is against the Rev. Yes, he was angry. Yes, he was blaming rich white people for many of the problems. Yes, he was saying that Clinton doesn't know what it is like to be activly oppressed.

And he was right, on all accounts. He is angry because the people in his neighborhoods, his friends and relatives and neighbors are being slowly destroyed by drugs sent into ghettos. He is angry because of unfair laws based on which form of cocaine is being used, and the difference in usage is divided along racial lines. He has every right to be angry.

thanks for putting this all in perspective. now if there was only a way to get this message out to the rest of america...

Exactly. At no point in this whole retarded "controversy" have I thought that Reverend Wright actually said anything outrageous; it's the people who are vilifying him that strike me as being out of line.

its what the rest of the world has been saying behind your backs.

fuck you world for being so god damn rational. this is america!

Dude, all those foreigners belong to the reality-based community - you should just ignore them!

Stuff like this is why Organized Religion should absolutely stay out of Politics and State Matters. In fact, Organized Religion destroys this country.

I can not believe the legs this non-story has grown. I was a little taken back when I first saw some clips, but wtf ?
Thanks FTR, for contrasting Wrights sermons with those from some of our more distinguished white preachers. I think that really helps put things into perspective.

I am utterly shocked that Hillary is actually gaining ground over this. Disgusted really. No, shocked.
No, shocked and disgusted.

Oh and mad,

Here here!

The majority in the U.S. get angry when the topic of past presidents being slave owners comes up. They yell, "Consider the context of the time!" "Everyone with power was doing it!" "We can't impose our present mores on the past." "For the love of God, consider the context that slave owning presidents were living in!"

Then that topic gets shelved. Of course. Why focus on it anyway? There is nothing important or relevant about people in power oppressing people of color. That topic would only affect the lives and contexts of minorities (therefore it is not worth discussion).

The majority in the U.S. stand dumbfounded in disbelief or apathy when the topic of president Woodrow Wilson's overt racism comes up. They say, "That's not true." "I never heard that." "That's in the past (and therefore not important)." "What about the context of the time." "Everyone with power was overtly racist." "The historical context excuses and explains president Wilson's firing of people of color on the White House staff, public support of the KKK, proud membership in the KKK, enthusiastic public praise of the 'historical accuracy' of the racist film, The Birth of a Nation, and unnecessary active military intervention in Latin America."

The majority culture gives the same free pass to the other presidents that FearTheReaper described above. It is thought, hey, these presidents only supported the oppression of minorities. Why does it matter to the majority? Therefore, why does it matter at all?

Now, here comes Rev. Wright and majority culture can't dismiss context fast enough. They ignore and forget the racist context of Wright's upbringing (U.S. legal segregation, Tuskegee experiments, Katrina, African Apartheid, crack epidemic, etc.) Instead, they say, "There is no context for these words, feelings, and opinions!" "He is talking angrily about the majority's historical and present oppression of minorities, this can not be tolerated. "How dare he be hurt and angry over racism!" "Racism ended so long ago and there was a historical context that excuses racism and that can't be ignored." "We can not have a president that is hurt by the majority's wrongdoings." "We can not have a president who is associated with an 'angry Field Negro.'"

And unfortunately, the fear "what if this country's chickens really do come home to roost?" rings so loudly in the majority's ears that they can't even hear Obama denounce Wright's comments, emphasize with the majority's unspoken fears, and provide education on oppression's hurtfulness to the world and to the upcoming generations.

Thank you for the article FearTheReaper.

Nicely put together. I wish people would be given this in a context where they would be apt to actually absorb it.

i keep seeing that as well!
i'm not an expert but i haven't seen much change, as in the view of who's "winning", and yet a i've seen this "Clinton is pulling ahead" shit on yahoo for the past few days, like a schedule of political bs.

and like most above, i believe Obama and Wright are simply speaking honestly, i love it!

I don't believe in religion, but this Wright guy makes a few good points. And with style!

These 'turn or burn' fucks give the rest of us Christians real bad names. Wright only articulated a position that any one who has used the brain God has given him/her can see.

You know, freedom of religion also implies freedom from religion. Separation of church and state anyone? Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and render unto God what is God's?

i think anybody white or black who twists the words in the bible or any other holy book . to fit theyre raceist or anti polictical agenda is wrong . god bless seperation of church and state.

Right fucking on!!!!

These white evangelicals have been spewing these doctrines of hate for as long as I can remember and beyond... reguritating this venomous verbal terrorism with impunity.

It s this kind of rhetoric that justified the genocide of the Native Americans, the enslavement of Africans and the atrocities commited against Chinese rail-workers. White evangelicals were on the forefront in fighting against womens sufferage and the civil rights movements of African-Americans, Hispanics... and now gays/lesbians.

They advocate hatred, intolerance, persecution and oftentimes violence against all who are not of their kind.

These are not the teachings of the gentle master who graced this world some 2000 years ago... a master they claim to serve.


Indeed he said...

"Many will come unto to me and say... 'Lord have I not done great wonders in thy name.' And I will say... I know thee not!"

Hope you're enjoying your stay in Hell, Mr Falwell...

Amen! It's getting way outta control. These fuckfaces are going to do everything possible to keep Obama down. He's going to have a gargantuan struggle on his hands the closer he gets.

which is why we need to come out in unbelievable numbers.

so many votes the republicans can't even cheat their way in.

I'm actually rather furious that somehow Obama didn't GAIN ground after his speech. I agree, it was one of the finest speeches given by a politician since...well, I don't remember hearing a better one in my lifetime.

Fuck yes, thank you for putting this all into one place. I really hope Obama's speech can shake some people awake, but it probably won't because he spoke like an adult should speak to other adults.

This is more true than you may know. Newspapers are written around a 6th-8th grade reading level. No Child Left Behind is teaching test answers instead of critical though processes. Obama spoke as an intelligent adult should speak to other intelligent adults. That is how all his speeches are. And they go right over the head of so many people.

and that brings to mind Bush's speeches, if they can be called that

i think ftr's entire argument is bunk. it should be obvious to anyone with common sense...god doesn't hate global warming! global warming was made up by seculo-homo-environmento-fascists who want to stop the rest of us from using the pure, rich nectar of the earth that god gave directly to lee raymond to use for the benefit of wealthy, obese americans. anyone who loves jesus oves oil and money, duh.

even if global warming were real, god would love it because it would choke out and make arid the lands of all of those seculo-homo-environmento-fascists who are so intolerant of jesus. come on, doesn't anyone remember the part of the bible where god turned to pilars of salt all those who treated others human beings with kindness and dignity?
