Like his sermon or not, what he said in this clip is 100% true. There is no defense for the things that the USA did, especially in my part of the world, (the Caribbean) against Grenada and Panama.The truth IS the truth. Americans will NEVER see it like other people would see it as the bombings were not against the USA in that case. I am sure it really hit home when the twin towers were destroyed. One cannot expect to know how something impacts oh him/her unless he/she has experienced it.

Mr. Wright is speaking the truth and that is exactly what the Slave masters did to the Blacks in America and the Caribbean. Slammed there babies head against a rock used them for alligator bait etc with a smile on their faces.

You should be ashamed to be called an American

Are you people stupid ? This is a defense of this guy ? Do you even understand what this sermon is about ? The soundbites were the climax of the sermon, you idiots. This video is just a gradual buildup to the soundbites the media played. For once, the media got it right. What kind of education did some of you have that makes you think this video somehow is setting the record staright ?

Good, I'm glad we can agree that its radical and racist.

Oh I have read it. Again there is no political idealogy. If you mean extremism that they believe in following the precepts of the bible and not the Eurocentric hypocritcal view Christianity that says it's okay to kill your neighbor and mistreat them because God forgives Christians automatically. Then yes, it's radical to actually believe and follow justice and compassion in biblical scripture. If you say radical is serving the community of the church then yes, that's radical.

Of course the news isn't going to play the entire sermon. Don't be silly. However, to be sure of the extremism, racism, and political ideology of this so called "church" go ahead and read their mission statement.

Again it's not the showing of the clips but the sttory around the clips. In a sermon that is an hour and a half, they showed this. In fact, they went back 20 years to paint a picture. That's how media works they play segments of a speech to elicit the responses they want. For example, if I wanted to paint you as retarded, I could show clips of you going duh every time someone asked you a question. Are you retarded nope but I could make it seem that way with the right editing.

Yeah, you think that in a 1 hour show, they with only about 5-10 minutes to show a story, will play this whole thing? not even CNN or msnbc would do that, stop whining.

So what Obama studders. FDR was in a wheel chair you wanna make fun of that too?

@Ryooken And you'd think Obama would at least pick up Wright's fervent public speaking, but no, his favorite word is "uh"......

God bless this man!

Yes and so was Solomon and others God blessed. Again this man made money from his speaking engagements. Are you saying he shouldn't have made money from his own accomplishments? That's where you are wrong. He gave a 3rd of his wealth to his community. He bought houses for people and set up an AIDS ministry in his church. He has given of his money and his time. How many of you have done that?

This man is now very rich Ryooken,he is no longer a poor(by any means)black man.He will never ever wonder where his next meal will come from or what it might be.Does he deserve it?Maybe, does he share it with the poor,not as much as he should,Who needs a multi million dollar mansion when so many people are living day by day?Who cares if Jesus was white pink or green live by his teachings and you be you black or white will see heaven this is promised.

Again you must not be familiar with US history. The US government is the largest drug dealer in the American market to date. If you look at the Scicillian agreement of the 1969 and the Iran Contra Affair of the 1980s you will find that the US has had a hand in bringing drugs into the black community. If you look at how drug addiction is dealt with you will see that whites are sent to rehab and blacks are sent to prison. blacks and whites deal drugs equally but blacks are sent to prison more.

With that in mind how is AIDS any different. First we don't know if the government did the same thing but to be honest based on Horowitz book I wouldn't doubt it. Now I don't know why white people feel this way, and at this stage of my life I really don't care, that blacks cannot look out for their own community without looking to or for approval from white people. Let's get this straight. Black communties have the right to look out and take care of themselves end of story.

You said he believes that blacks should be compensated for slavery and oppression. This is blatantly untrue. In his sermons and his website he states clearly that we should look to God and ourselves to help us out of our situations in the USA. Let's continue black people's lives aren't great. I don't know where you came up with this idea but there it is. Let's talk about AIDS. In 1932 the USA did a 40 year study giving black men syphillis to see how long it will take them to die. continue

"Semitic languages" are really dialectical variants of African languages. According to the Bible, called the "Lamb" of God, with kinky hair compared with lamb's wool, feet the color of burnt brass (Rev. 1:14,15) and a likeness resembling jasper and sardine stone (sard / sardonyx), which are commonly "brownish" stones. (Rev. 4:3). If you disagree then look these facts up. Now let's talk about your other assertions. continued

The Bible classifies the Ethiopians & Jews together, "Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, "O children of Israel? Saith the Lord." (Amos 9:7) Black Paul is mistaken for an "Egyptian" and declares he himself to be a "Jew." (Acts 21:37-39, 22: 2,3) The Jews got their language, religion & culture from the Canaanites & Sumerians through Babylon is well documented by historians. The original ancient Hebrew alphabet was identical to that of the Phoenicians.

Abraham, ancestor of the Hebrews, was from Chaldea; the ancient Chaldeans were Black. In fact, Africa takes it name from Ophren, a son of Abraham by his wife, Keturah (Whiston: The Life and Works of Flavius Josephus p50) Like Jesus, Mary and Joseph, the lineage of Ethiopian Emperor, Haile Selassie also goes back to Judah -through Solomon/Queen of Sheba and King David. Roman historian Tacitus wrote that many of his time believed that the Jews "were a race of Ethiopian origin."
