The so called Rev. Jeremiah Wright


 Yesterday the Rev. Jeremiah Wright told his congregation that they and I quoted " blacks shouldn't sing God bless America but God damn America"  What is this man of god preaching to his flock?

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright has been Obama's pastor for the past 20 years, at Trinity United Church in Chicago Ill. Obama told a Jewish group that Rev. Wright "is like an old uncle who says things I don't always agree with" 

The Rev. is quoted with say "the government gives them drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes three-strike law and then wants us to sing ' God Bless America' No, no, no God damn America, that's in the bible for killing  innocent people, " he said in a 2003 sermon. "God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme."

Not only did Wright damn America he also told his congregation that the 9/11 happened because of America's own terrorism.

"We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked more than thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and never batted an eye." Rev. Wright said in a sermon on Sept. 16, 2001.

My question for the Rev. Wright is this, when did church become a platform for politics? His sermons sound more like political rhetoric, than a sermon for god. In my opinion this man  of god is preaching hate. For him to stand in front of congregation  and tell them to sing God damn America goes against everything that a man of God is supposed to stand for. Obama continues to say that the Wright is like a family member that you don't always agree with it. This is a lame excuse, for what Rev. Wright is preaching.
