Here's another black man that's stuck in the 1960's Reverend Dr. Jeremiah Wright . I do love when these black ministers insist on adding the honorarium of Doctor to their title , it seems to inflate an already enlarged ego . I watched a video recently where he was addressing his congregation on Sept. 11 and whose fault it really was . Now I'm not writing this today about who was responsible for 9-11 , that I'll do at a latter date. However what strikes me as just a little ridiculous is how some people tend toward over simplifying the facts to make their point . During that particular sermon i watched Rev. Wright expose on how America had dropped the atom bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki . Then he continued on with how we supported Israeli terrorism and South African apartheid ' and then ends his sermon that instead of saying "God Bless America" that blacks should be saying "God Damn America" . I can't speak for everyone but I've never heard of a man of God use his name in a blasphemous way . An interesting note another high profile person used the dropping of the atom bombs on Japan to sanctify their actions and political beliefs .........Osama Bin Laden , in a video statement released just shortly after 9-11 . Now in the aftermath of these shocking statements Sen. Barrack Obama is trying to down play these accusations that Rev. Wright a man Sen. Obama said he considered a "Mentor" made in the past . Sen. Obama said in an interview recently that he did not agree with Rev. Wrights firey statements and that had he heard them he would have walked out . I'm not writing this to endorse a particular candidate , but i find it troubling to think that Sen. Obama may win the highest political office in America and through his affiliation with Rev. Wright may or may not have a chip on his shoulder for white people in America .
