Or why Obama deserves to get his minister back.
We can stop bad-talking Rev. Wright and start learning the true history of our America. What Rev. Wright said was not malicious and was as the Rev. said this week, used as a "weapon of mass destuction for Obama's campaign".
Greata von Sustren pretended she couldn't understand the Revs use of the word and demanded he explain it as she talked over his comments, a favorite ploy by
the duplicious pundits. He should have told it that the God DAmn America cry used by them was for shock and awe...to be a way to get the least intelligent of us a mantra to repeat for why they hate Obama and his friends. Three words out of so many. Just three..like three words out of any of our dairies...
As a student of African American history I was surprised to learn the real history of a proud people who were enslaved under a perculair institution. One later identified as apartheid and later adopted by the South African nation.
I learned all warring tribes took slaves. The slaves were captured by the winners and wer soon intergrated into thier cultures and habits. As stated in the bible and elsewhere some slaves were allowed to learn to read and write, to intermarry and to eventually buy land and sometimes to even gain freedom.
Thus, whan strangers arrived with beads , mirrors, textiles and trinkets many tribes were willing to trade and indeed capture slaves for the men they traded with, not realizing they were contributing to an institution that treated human beings as less than animals.
The USA HISstory taught in American schools never mentioned or explored these special areas of our past. They omitted, ignored and outright lied about the real story of how America was discovered and populated. John Hope Franklin and excellant historian , researcher and author wrote an excellant book entiled 'A Peculair Institution' which edifies and eleucidates the true history of this shameful period of our past.
Here is what Rev. Wright acutually said in a group of paragraphs that includes the three words he is vilified for:
"And the United States of America government, when it came to treating her citizens of Indian descent, she failed. She put them on reservations.
"When it came to putting her citizens of Japanese descent fairly, she failed. She put them in interment prison camps.
"When it came to putting the citizens of African descent fairly, America failed. She put them in chains. The government put them on slave quarters. Put them on auction blocks. Put them in cotton fields. Put them in inferior schools. Put them in substandard housing. Put them scientific experiments. Put them in the lower paying jobs. Put them outside the equal protection of the law. Kept them out of their racist bastions of higher education, and locked them into positions of hopelessness and helplessness.
"The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three strike law and then wants us to sing God Bless America. Naw, naw, naw. Not God Bless America. God Damn America! That’s in the Bible. For killing innocent people. God Damn America for treating us citizens as less than human. God Damn America as long as she tries to act like she is God and she is Supreme.
"The United States government has failed the vast majority of her citizens of African descent. Think about this. Think about this. For every one Oprah, a billionaire, you’ve got 5 million blacks that are out of work. For every one Colin Powell, a millionaire, you’ve got 10 million blacks who cannot read. For every one Condi-Skeezer Rice, you’ve got 1 million in prison. For every one Tiger Woods, who needs to get beat at the Masters, with his Cablanasian hips, playing on a course that discriminates against women, God has this way of brining you up short when you get to big for your Cablanasian britches. For every one Tiger Woods, we’ve got 10,000 black kids who will never see a golf course. The United States government has failed the vast majority of her citizens of African descent."
"Tell your neighbor he’s (going to) help us one last time. Turn back and say forgive him for the God Damn, that’s in the Bible though. Blessings and curses is in the Bible. It’s in the Bible."
Who can argue with these statements of fact? Why would you? To take three words out of this statement and to imply the man is a racist and Obama is terrorist for hearing these words is unreasonable and downright ignorant. Please share the truth of what was said first. Investigate and find out the truth of the things you are told if possible. By doing so, each one of us could change our selves a little and thereby maybe help to heal the world. Follow the link below for the full storyRev. Wright
