Jeremiah Wright: The Gospel Of HATE

Last June, Wright was invited to Philadelphia to speak at a forum on the topic of proposed reparations for slavery in the United States, and the Chicago preacher was true to form. He said:

'America will not repent because to admit their guilt means they will have to repay. We stole this country from the Delawares, the Mohawks and the Chippewa. America does not want to apologize to us. When they wrote the Constitution, Africans were not even considered to have the same rights as whites in this country. Yes, as a people, we have to take responsibility for our communities and our families but that doesn't let the white man off the hook.'

Isn't it interesting that Wright includes himself (by association?) in the theft of lands from Native Americans, but then alludes to the "white man" being "on the hook" for the various difficulties within the (BLACK) communities and (BLACK) families? Having it BOTH ways is a unique position and one that his protege, Obama, takes for granted.

Should the Democratic Party, U.S.A. change its mascot from the JACKASS to the ZEBRA, given the nature of their candidates' predeliction to be both BLACK and WHITE when the political need warrants?
