This would be a reason for his damning of the government. Again, not a particularly uncommon thing to hear.<BR/><BR/>I haven't seen any racism in any of the clips of Wright. Example?Adrianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05953649845499754508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34302342.post-30813304652034136012008-03-24T06:46:00.000-05:002008-03-24T06:46:00.000-05:00It's ironic that your excerpt of Wright's words it...It's ironic that your excerpt of Wright's words itself is cut-off, excluding his injunction against God bless America. <BR/><BR/>If you can find an equivalent "prophetic" verse in the Old Testament, where a Prophet tells Israel not to ask God for blessings for their country but only for damnation, please provide it.<BR/><BR/>It is interesting to see how the apologetic for Rev. Wright unfolds. The first I heard is that he never said God Damn America at all,. but rather "Goddamn America." Now, his words are taken out of context and compared to a (non-existent, I think) portion of the Old Testament.<BR/><BR/>No comment on his AIDS remarks? Or his racist replacement theology that sees only blacks are the chosen people?Dan tdaxphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07205344738190870766noreply@blogger.com
