It's funny how people of limited intellectual ability wants everyone to believe that white people are "unique" in some fashion, that Western civilization and American society as we know it today is all the invention of white people.
That's the rational and logical fallacy of those who trumpet without understanding the talking points of "Storm Front", yes those are the talking points.
In the eyes of some white people whom have personally never created anything, the parasitic belief that the intelligence of a Beethoven is automatically present in their skin simply because they both lack pigment is as absurd as to believe that I possess Beethoven's musical genius simply because we both have two ears..
Where is the lineage of genius present among a sub set of disgruntled under achievers that actually believe that America is going to return to Jim Crow, that everyone else is wrong when they state that the Civil War ignited when those that were made rich weren't going to lose their cash cows.
Where is the lineage of genius when a group who in there own ignorance gets on the Internet and proclaims they are 100% white, when they have no idea whom there great great grand parents may have had children with, these are the people claiming superiority based on a lack of pigment??
At every turn in the most important events of this country's history, Black Men and Women have contributed, shaped, advised, invented and improved every facet of the American culture, as has countless Asians, Hispanics, and every other race of people.
Thank God for American culture where all people have invested in the strength of this country, and not the ignoramuses who scream stars and stripes without really knowing what that means.

So you are defending White Power groups. Big surprise.
I know, you are Black, so am I, and I'm a millionaire rock star also.

Rev. Wright is not against interracial marriage.
As an example:
A Minister's Musings: Rev. Wright in a Different Light
I do have a bit of personal context. About 26 years ago, I became engaged to my wife, an African-American. She was at that time and remains a member of Trinity. Somewhere between the ring and the altar, my wife had second thoughts and broke off the engagement. Her decision was grounded in race: So committed to black causes, the daughter of parents subjected to unthinkable prejudice over the years, an "up-and-coming" leader in the young black community, how could she marry a white man?
Rev. Wright, whom I had met only in passing at the time and who was equally if not more outspoken about "black" issues than he is today, somehow found out about my wife's decision. He called and asked her to "drop everything" and meet with him at Trinity. He spent four hours explaining his reaction to her decision. Racial divisions were unacceptable, he said, no matter how great or prolonged the pain that caused them. God would not want us to assess or make decisions about people based on race. The world could make progress on issues of race only if people were prepared to break down barriers that were much easier to let stand.

Our most enlightened age is the one in which we currently live, where people of all backgrounds are making advancements and contributing to society, both on a domestic and global level. I'm fortunate to live in the time I do now, but not thanks to the evils of the past. Your assertion the world would be so much worse off without Western imperialism is pure speculation, nothing more.

All the technology you deal with on an every day basis, such as the electricity that runs throughout your home or apartment, was most likely made possible because of a White man. Refute that.
Again, computers, automobiles, aircraft, internet, cell phones, electrical outlets, refrigerators/freezers, etc. etc. etc. Is the truth now propaganda? Do you really believe what you say, or are you either: A) Jealous of the White man, who made this communication possible or B) Living in an Orwellian-eque dream where true is false and false is true?

Arguing that the White race is superior is not the best way to convince others that the members at CPAC are not White Nationalists.

Exactly, Western Civilization is where it is today because the contributions of people of all colors and creeds. Four centuries past the enlightenment we still have a ways to go, but in many societies the enlightenment has never occurred and in others you cannot say if it would have occurred without Western intervention.

Its one of the foundational scriptures for liberation theology. Is it only the black adjective that bothers you or that you question? Don't the Christian Gospels also pertain to people of African descent?
