Putting Wright In Context

Like many, I'm perplexed by Rev. Jeremiah Wright's recent speaking tour, particularly his appearance at the National Press Club in DC this morning. Wright's sermons were deeply twisted by the media--and he has every right to speak out and set the record straight--but amidst the current media frenzy his latest comments won't do anything to repair his public image or help Obama. Ten days before important primaries in Indiana and North Carolina, the re-emergence of Wright was the last thing Obama needed--and a gift from heaven to Hillary Clinton and the Republican Party.

That said, Bill Moyers' interview with Wright on Friday was fascinating and informative, putting Wright's statements--and entire life's work--into context. You can watch it here.

In other news, at least Obama can ball.

1. watched wright on the news today...i liked the guy.

   it WAS a media circus, though...

2. Once you actually listen to Wright talk outside of the context of a soundbite you realize he is a very intelligent guys who's comment was not at all what the media spun it to be.

3. I agree, Ibble. On the right, your basic Wingnut thinks that anyone who disagrees with the current state affairs in the USA is looney lefty terrorist traitor. This is why Wright's comments, taken as he says entirely out of context, seem to need no comment. "Goddamn America?!!!" How can THAT need "context"?

   But most of these "patriots" have never been near an African American church at any time in their lives, much less attended services in one in an inner city neighborhood. So it comes as an absolute shock that the parishoners and pastors would have anything other than an entirely rosy view of the USA Today. These folks also seem more or less ignorant of the "prophetic" tradition of gospel preaching that is deeply anchored in the worship of many Black congregations. After all, it was a comforting thought to them that some day a new Moses would come along, in full-prophetic fury, and free them from their own version of Egyptian captivity. (Maybe this was never so appealing to white congregants.)

   But give the man a break, for crying out loud! He comes from a long line of pastors in a family of preachers and his given name is . . . JEREMIAH!!! (Uh, for you non-Bible readers, this was a guy who was pretty intensely into harshing the gig that the ruling class in Jerusalem were grooving on, if you dig my rap. Word up.)

4. I watched the Bill Moyers interview and the national press club sermons-speeches as well as the speech he gave at the NAACP convention. That was not the same man as portraid by Matthews and company on MSNBC. does corporate America fear this man that much as to try and distort him that much.

7. No, they don't fear him. They can USE him, so why not? What can he do to THEM? He's a pastor at a predominatly poor & African American church in inner city Chicago--getting ready to retire in a month. What can he possibly to do hurt them? They can exploit him with utter impunity--so they have.

   They MIGHT fear us if we caught onto their game and as a unified public said, "Oh, no, you DIT-ent!" and began boycotting them and their sponsors. It's the only language they understand--power and coin.

    I don't think the Pope said that? But then again I never saw his tour in the US. Besides that aren't you the one supporting Hagee a man who has condemned the Catholic religion and by proxy the pope himself?

    Posted by Cccomfo1 at 04/28/2008 @ 7:30pm

14. So...I think, honestly, that Jomamma is treading a very dangerous line, perhaps even crossing it entirely.

    That being said, though, one thing from both the interview and the press conference struck me. When asked why Obama had distanced himself from Wright (in at least some fashion), Wright's response was that he was doing so because that's what he as a politician NEEDED to do. Not because Obama didn't agree with him, but because Obama as a politician needed to maintain popular support. Now I'm not sure that's an accurate description of Obama, but if it is, shouldn't that be cause for at least some concern, especially given Wright's adherence to repeatedly disproven conspiracy theories?

15. The politics are clear...Wright needs to (or needed to) take a 7 month long vacation...out of country would be best.

    Instead of re-stoking the fire with an "explanation tour" that simply gives more ammo to the Hillary'ites and their allies the McCainiacs!

17. The crucifixion of another man by people he was preaching the truth to about themselves. All the same ones cutting the same dealthe same deal, whether you call them Jews or not.

    That goes for content in this episode. It's not a lynching. Carter, the peanut farmer, is the one getting lynched. Wright's is a crucifixion. He said so himself and Clarnce Thomas is called upon to agree.

    As to Form (category, type), the chief issue this episode raises is the choice of two social orders : religious freedom vs. state religion.

    In my book, he can say and preach anything he damn well pleases, whether any pinkoass leftists or Aryian Nationalist like it or not, he is a man of God. Let the Jews, Repubes, trailor park Dems and Pentacostals or Hitler's Pope brigades take their best shot. He'll still be there ....

    if only for this shard of truth (Thirdly): (I think it is the Dark Crystal of Jim Henson's movie)

    Imperial behavior abroad, as in Reagan/Casey instigating jihad against the Soviets in Chechyna; Bush1 desecrating the Saudi desert with weapons of destruction, Clinton bombing Iraq; Bush2 slaughtering millions and destabilizing the region ... brings blowback reaction in kind at home.

    This is descriptive law of nature Rev. Wright brilliantly points out. Where was Spock on Starship America, reminding what anybody could see (and everybody else did see), if mass emotion from the trauma could be left out of the picture even for five minutes? Couldn't happen. Too immature. Instead, denial.

    (sarcasm) No one acting for U.S. imperialism had anything coming for anything they did, so there would be no talk of karmic retribution; no talk with any geopolitical entities possibly involved. Right up to the Iraq Army; now to Iran and Hamas. Once you've got a terrorist "enemy" attacking you, you've got a "war on Terror" on your hands, see, and you don't talk to anybody unless the crypto state religion fascists say so.(end sarcasm)

    "The enemy", you see has become evil; that is to say, Evil Itself (non-being; to all Right thinking Americans, of whatever stripe, which it is the duty of every elected official, parent, school teacher, policeman, pastor, politician and Cable TV news networks to fight against. (sarcasm..)

    By God! if they don't. (can't tell anymore)

18. Wright actually preaches self-reliance. He does not forget the past, but he is not stuck there either. Anyon who has listened to hsi sermons in context can tell you that.

19. I think it's about time we aired some of the dirty laundry in America's closet. Too many American think that the US can't possibly do anything wrong.

    It's time we were treated like adults and be taught that our government has not always acted as the best global citizen, or acted justly to its own citizens for that matter.

    I find it amazing that the same people who want to crucify the good reverend probably say worse things about our government in the privacy of their own homes.

    To those who think that America is lily-white, I say, "read a book."

23. <i>What line did I cross..the truth?

    Posted by JOMAMMA at 04/28/2008</i>

    No...the line you crossed was suggesting that African-Americans should actually be grateful for slavery. That's absurd, and I'm disappointed to see it from someone who has often made a positive contribution to a discussion (even if others, including myself, disagreed about whether the claims made in said content were accurate).

    Also, bleedingheart has a strong point. The fact that Wright repeats many of these old canards about AIDS does kind of disturb me. His willingness to criticize the US' actions, however, does not. Even if I believe he is wrong, the idea that criticizing US policy is unpatriotic is both absurd and dangerous. It's especially problematic for those who consider themselves Christians, because a Christian should never consider him or herself an American first and a Christian second. They should be willing to not simply praise the US when it does good, but prophetically challenge the US to improve its deficiencies and correct its injustices.

    I don't disagree with your logic. However what kind of Africa do you think there would be without the impact of Europeans? Maybe it wouldn't be in the state it is in now if it hadn't have been for the fact that Europeans constantly found things there they wanted, diamonds for example, and used it to help rip the country to pieces.

25. Posted by JOMAMMA at 04/29/2008

    I fully see your point and I don't think it is an invalid point at all. I happen to be one of those descended from slavery and I admit I have never thought about it in the way you presented. I contend though if it hadn't have been for the slave traders and those looking to rape the lands and peoples of Africa to make a profit I think the country would have been a very different place.

    Posted by Cccomfo1 at 04/29/2008 @ 01:56am

26. For any one here that might be a believer don't we say to ourselves: "I am damned, I have sinned again, I repent.." If a Christian does not say that every once in a while, he/she is in deep trouble.

    I think that is what Rev. Wright meant damning America. That simple moral thing that we are not saints either, that we need to change our relations with other countries and trade power to equality and understanding.

    I don't think he is bad by any means. Now the media, and an important fraction of the public will not understand him ever. We are just too solitaries, we need to get from other cultures and countries as well. It is all too sad.

    Your statement that both bad and good has come from slavery and that therefore African-Americans should be grateful for that would be like saying that Jews should be grateful for the Holocaust, for the role that it played in the creation of the state of Israel.

29. Has anyone else noticed that Sen. Barack Obama and Rev. Jeremiah Wright are, in fact, two different people?

    Posted by skeletonman at 04/29/2008 @ 07:39am

30. The problem with Wright is that 95% of the "lunchbucket" voters will not listen to his entire sermon. They'll have heard the 30 second soundbytes and that's all they needed to hear.

    Wright is not the bad guy but at this moment in time he is poison. He should have STFU and faded away. On his own, I think Obama has a great chance to make some real headway in today's political spectrum. Now with Wright creeping back into the headlines (or rather bull-rushing them), Obama is going to be seen as radical as Kucinich - albeit in different ways - and now faces the same outcome.

    I know Wright is not running for office but unfortunately people will equate Obama with Wright.

    Posted by FritztheCat at 04/29/2008 @ 08:53am

31. It's becoming increasingly obvious that Wright has moved from "not understanding" that he's hurting the Obama campaign, by keeping his face out there....

    to perhaps WANTING to hurt the Obama campaign, because he's jealous and may realize that his "White Government keeps crushing us down" talk...

    won't work if Obama is elected and he'll be out of a gig!

32. rese ... I know how you feel... I'm there, too. Will be forever. But spamming, in the context, is saying the same thing over and over to no effect.

    Wright isn't poison -- except to the poisoned ones we both hate.

    It's reversal (techniocal term for holding the victims guilty for the attack by the attackers): they have reversed the truth, as Libs warned would happen, and this is advanced stage enantiodromia (Jung: conjunction of opposites, predicating on contradictions, with political disambiguation.)

34. The US Gov. did inject syphilis into black soldiers during the Second Word War and did refuse to fund clean needles. what surprised me the most though is the ease with which the media; ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX are able to distort reality in the Wright issue. I had to go back and listen to the. Reverend's address again to the National Press Club to make sure that I had heard correctly the first time. Actually FOX and CNN did the most honest job at the beginning of the issue. Soledad O'brien was the most honest. The media's portrayal of the man and the reality of the man are two totally different pictures. The media has caricatured the man beyond recognition . I don't think that what they drawn is even human. Is there any way that we can force the media to be honest brokers of fact?

37. I think many here and "The Nation" might be hitching their wagon to the wrong horse with Rev. Wright.

    His Press Club appearance indicates somebody who's more interested in his OWN promotion than that of Obama's...in fact, he seems to be GOING AFTER Obama, either out of anger (for Obama distancing himself rom him) or perhaps jealousy ...or maybe self-interest given how an Obama Presidency would change the paradigm for what Wright has based his life and beliefs on!

    The "Rev." in Wright's title identies what he is about and "promotes".

    The reptilian fascist state religionist propaganda spewers are all over him like lizards on a hot rock.

39. i dont know...the pundits are all groupthinking themselves into a conventional wisdom clusterfuck again and i'm not sure they are right (yet again).

    perhaps the more reverend wright puts on his dog and pony shows (which i kinda enjoy) the more the average idiot in this country will get used to them and with familiarity, cease to be shocked by the man...

    whats so shocking anyway? is there not a grand tradition of patriotic citizenry who point out flaws and shortcomings in our country as well as those who cheerlead the deafening chorus of "WE'RE SO GREAT - WE LOVE OURSELVES SO MUCH"? lol...

    the more rev wright runs around daring to speak his mind, and the more obama just calmly goes about his business casually reminding stupid media morons that reverend wright is not a spokesperson for the obama campaign...

    at some point the average schmuk idiot might become dimly aware and accepting of the fact that jeremiah wright is jeremiah wright and barack obama is barack obama...

    yeah, i know...both are light skinned african american types and its sooo hard for some folks to tell the difference between the two, (especilally the remarkably dim pundit class) but eventually this may well work out to obama's favor...

42. Posted by JOMAMMA at 04/29/2008 | ignore this person

    perhaps. i mean, i dont think obama saw this coming at all - the initial flap.

    pure speculating, here....

    i think long ago when obama decided he wanted to go into politics, he understood that outside of a few places in california and the northeast, in order to be a politician in the US, especially a statewide or national politician, you have to be a christian (or a jew in some instances). he was apparantly, an agnostic, but thats just not acceptable.

    so he looked around, found this denomination, which seemed pretty mainstream (and apart from its former minister still does) and was socially active as well, and figured, "this will do".

    so he went to church off and on throughout the years, enjoyed the fellowship, endured the stand up/sit down, mumble/warble, listen to sermon ceremony, from time to time engaged in earnest fellowship and discussion...

    then got kind of blindsided...

    it just seems terribly unfair assume obama must share all of his pastor's opinions. i guess many hyper religious morons do eschew their critical faculties to their pastors and find it hard to concieve of folks who don't, but the plenty also understand "the deal"...

    you know...ritualistically go to chuch, sit and stand, mumble and warble, half listen to the lecture, renew contacts with potential business and political contacts and look all middle class respectable...just part of the game.

    What you ask about is in L.G. Horowitz, Emerging Viruses: AIDS and Ebola. I'm vague on details now, but he contends the Salk polio vaccine was contaminated and weakened immune systems so that some contaminant connected with Nixon's War on Cancer experimentation to find a virus that caused it, tested out in some secret DoD experiment to seek immunity for our soldiers, set off the epidemic. The AIDS scourge followed the path of smallpox/polio vaccine distribution across Africa.

    There is a lot of supporting documentation, going back to Hitler's bio-chemical experiments and the origin of the US CIA by Allen Dulles, operation paperclip etc..

    So what would you do if you found out it were true? No one ever says, making it hardly worth answering. here is no use answering.

Wright has taken the stage, and we can hear him for who he really is, he shows that he's even MORE anti-american and racist than the evil Fox news portrayed him to be by deviously picking out soundbites that supposedly mis-represented who he was!

    I was pointing out that there was a very detailed answer to your question from a source whose credibility you can judge for yourself. The question was to point out you wouldn't do so, you don't really want to know anything. The CDC is complicit and the virus existed before l980, whatever you think you know.

    Here is one source:

    "In his well known report WHO MURDERED AFRICA, Dr. William Campbell Douglass, M.D., wrote that HIV was finally produced (genetically engineered) in 1974, after having been PREDICTED and REQUESTED! He tells us that the AIDS virus by the WHO (World Health Organization), was not just a diabolical scientific exercise that got out of hand. It was a cold-blooded successful attempt to create a killer virus which was then used in a successful experiment in Africa. African AIDS was the result of the smallpox eradication vaccine program conducted by the World Health Organization during the 1970s. It was not an accident. It was deliberate! It is more than hypothetical hyperbole to conclude that our government has conducted biowarfare on Black Africa. It is fact."

    The stupidity of writing in this little slit is deliberately koroesque, editors. symbolic.

53. The Rev.

But it's time for the media to finally raise the most incredible point in the whole campaign. HILLARY HAS LOST THE SUPPORT OF AN ENTIRE RACE OF PEOPLE !!!!!!!! Do you know how incredibly sad this fact is ? Hillary Clinton (who's husband was so loved as to have been called The First Black President) has alienated the black people of America to such a degree that there is no way blacks will support her EVER. This has nothing to do with Obama !!!! Keep in mind folks....Hillary started this campaign with 82% of the black support. But as blacks learned more about her (Goldwater Girl....Against Civil Rights Act 1964...etc.) combined with her LBJ statements and Bill's minimizing of Obama (fairy tale...Jesse won S.Carolina too...etc) blacks were shocked...then incredibly offended beyond recovery. WE FEEL DECEIVED !!!! We hope that our friends of all races understand how we as blacks feel. This is the main story that needs to get out to ALL superdelegates. People across America are contacting the DNC 202-863-8000 to let them (and superdelegates) know that Hillary ABSOLUTELY KILLED HER ELECTABILTY. The truth is the truth !

    Wright was mooning the press club! He actually turned his back, bent over and flapped!

    I tell you, this is a man of God in Americas finest tradition, and I hope he invites the cameras into his private chambers to hear ... his terlit flush.

    Yes! These High Holy Men of the crypto fascist state religious Goebbelians who brought us the shaming and hanging of Saddam Hussein... (You don't do that to world leaders. Do you.)

    I call 'em lizzards, and they wouldn't get the terlit flush sound bite (;-) because they have rightrepube brain disease and it must sound like that in their head all the time.

    God, I'd forgot good it feels to flame! Gimme Jemiah, and Psalms 137. That'll show those Babylonians.

58. Wrights so much more fun, colorful, obnoxious, smart, accomplished 'e.g., real and interesting than all the idiots denouncing him.

59. all this infatuation with political correctness blinds the electorate to as Paul Harvey says "the rest of the story". Case in point, recall the hoard of mediocre idiots falling for "the Uniter" in 2000!?
