I glad Rev. Wright is back. He and Louis Farrakhan and a number of other brave black men are telling the truth about America.

Let me sum it up for you, everything that's wrong with blacks is the fault of white people. Poor little black people always getting picked on - BOO HOO HOO.

It is dissapointing that there is still resistance in this country to embrace diversity. This has been an important part of Rev. Wrights ministry in a predominately white denomination. Democracy and true American patriotism affirms anyones right to dissent...thats what makes us different than China, correct?

If Rev. Wright was so wrong, how come nobody has brought the black list of comparisons out to disprove his message on America, they can't cause they know the man was telling the truth. Truth hurts! But it's the truth.

I ask everyone proud to be an AMERICAN to boycott
the NAAPC dinner since they decided to invite a
man who said "Goddam America" to be the keynote speaker. Despite our history of racial problems,
this is still the greatest country in the world.

Everybody still attacking what this man said but fail to realize that behind closed doors white people and who ever else say just as much controversial things than he did. The only reason everybody is running around like chickens with they head cut off because he hit it right on the head peeling back Americas flaws.

What makes you a complete idiot is the fact you defend someone who insults an entire race of people, THEN call it diversity, what a load!

Blacks will be the first to cry foul when somebody says nappy headed hoe (a term invented by blacks), when challenged (on anything), and when told to be responsible.

Blacks are not willing to accept this excuse called diversity when the whites use or express it, it seems that diversity is another excuse for blacks to act like fools in a civilized community.

And YES this is a very black/white issue!
Whites have been asked, expected and required to be accepting of black people and their antics, while the blacks are being treated like spoiled children who are allowed to do and say as they please, getting a "pass" on their poor behaviors.

WE WILL NEVER MOVE FORWARD WITH THINGS THIS WAY!!!

Oh you think so huh, well then let me hit a few nails right.
Blacks are the reason that the urban areas of American cities are run-down, trashy and full of crime.
Blacks do nothing but whine and complain CONSTANTLY about being oppressed by white people which is BULLSH*T.
Everytime a black person gets his a*s in trouble, they immediately call racism.
Blacks make up most of the population of our prison system because their pretty much nothing but trouble making criminals, and who's footing the bill to feed their worthless asses - tax payers.
Blacks are nothing but a bunch of thieves, thugs, lazy individuals who do absolutely nothing but blame white people for all their faults.
If blacks are so oppressed, how can they afford Lexus's and Hummers, and all the "bling" (stupid word) that they where? Oppressed people don't drive Mercedes?
Blacks don't study hard in school, because they have Affirmative action to fall back on, they'll get into college whether they do anything or not.
Look around at the crime rate, the destruction of our once beautiful cities, the black bums on our city streets hitting people up for booze and drug money because they're too lazy to work, the black women having more children just to get more food stamps and government aid, the pushy blacks in our public areas with their loud mouths and the pants down to their damn knees. There's your wonderful "diversity" at work.

You mean crack cocaine is the reason the urban cities are run down and crack cocaine was given to blacks by this man: http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB113... see there goes your theory about not being oppressed. Would you agree the CIA who have been trained by the government could suppress a people if allow to do so?

This also takes care of your theory about blacks being taken care of buy the taxpayers, it was part of the plan. I would call whites the thugs, drug dealers and thieves. Stealing oil from Iraq, selling drugs to the black community and backing up all of this with invasion and incarceration.

You are just as brainwashed as us blacks if you believe the people who buy these bad investments can afford them. At least we have an excuse for wanting to spend foolishly after four hundred years of oppression, what's yours. Next look at our spending power after this four hundred year oppression and it would be safe to say we are gaining on you (projected to be at a trillion dollars by 2015).

Affirmative action doesn't get you a degree from college even if you need it to get through the door. Afirmative action doesn't pay for education therefore if you can't afford to go to school then you're still assed out correct? Also look at the graduation rates for blacks as compared to whites you would be surprised to learn that we also graduate at a higher rate than whites once enrolled. Now if I'm not mistaken there are more white women on aid than black so that theory goes out the window also.

Now the inner-cities were once beautiful yes, but just like our infrastructure it is A HUNDRED YEARS OLD AND NEEDS TO BE REBUILT. Why do you think the crack epidemic hit the inner-city huh?
Look up gentrification and teel me if the Detroit area is not going through this right now. You stay your racist ass in whatever suburb you are in and continue to paint all blacks with a wide brush and watch as we get our act together and crush your sterotypes. Keep watching T.V. cause you are: http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y17/Rissaboo...

Talk about something that makes sense like the collaspe of the dollar or this:http://www.washingtonwatc h.com/bills/show/110_HR_1185.h tml bet you had no idea you have agreed to pay the decendents of the JEWISH HOLOCUST VICTIMS REPERATIONS read that, talk about that, do something about that. Yea you are right there is your wonderful diversity at work, racist.

Either the NAACP is stupid or evil. All what they are doing by keeping Wright in the news is destroying Obama's chance of being President. But maybe that is what they want. If this country elected a Black Man president how much farther can you Advance Colored People? There would be no need for the NAACP.
