Hey Gringo-you do realize it is a CHURCH not a cult right?

Many cults call themselves churches. It matters not how they call themselves - what matters is what they are. And Wright's "church" is a fascistic cult.

I mean would you call all the other people in this nation who go to church members of a cult?

Depends on which "church" they go. Do you consider the "church of the latter day saints" a cult?

You do realize that because it is a church you are free to walk in any time you want and observe what is being said and done right?

Actually, quite recently Wright's cult stopped free admission of people to their services. Thanks for helping me prove that it's a cult.

Rev Jerimiah Wright knows his people came here as slaves-not for opportunity and religious freedom.

That's a funny one. Firstly, I did not know Wright got his own people. I guess he must be one of those black slave owners. But on a more serious note - can you name one of the living people in America who came here as slaves? No? Well, I guess Wright himself came here as a slave? No? I know, Obama came to America as a slave. Right? Indeed 200 years ago was the last time when black slaves were transported from Africa to America. And 140 years ago, white people died by hundreds of thousands to give them freedom - from other white people. If anything, American whites paid full price for keeping black slaves - which is much more than can be said about the black slave owners in Africa, who sold the blacks in the first place. Lets put things in perspective, shall we?

He saw the US government segregate its own military and support the south as it forced blacks to attend a different school, use a different bathroom, let KKK terrorists walk scott free, stack juries with "peers" which were all white and condemned blacks to death and worse.

He also saw same government stopping this segregation, letting black terrorists walk free - because of juries stacked with peers, saw the government discriminating against whites and asians for the benefit of blacks. I wonder if you paid any attention to what was happening in US in the last, say, 40 years. Did you?

"God Damn America" is hardly undeserved from this man.

In America of 2008? It is hardly undeserved? All right, explain.

But seeing that history and seeing his own success Obama has the ability to heal what is an understandably painful wound in our country.

Obama voluntarily joined the fascist cult, who's leaders do their best to enlarge those wounds, to turn America into Libya. And yet, you believe he wants to heal the wound. On what basis did you conclude this?

How is he to understand the wound he has to heal if he isnt exposed to Wright and others like him?

Obama voluntarily joined Wright's fascist group and stayed in it for 20 years. Does this membership make it more or less likely that Obama supports racial division in this country?
