I posted what Reverend Wright said.. take it up with him.
You certainly did not post anything to support the statement I replied to. Rev. Wright does not believe in black supremacy. The only part of "white society" that Rev. Wright is interested in destroying is the concept and attitude of white supremacy. Nowhere has Rev. Wright promoted African-Americans ruling over European-Americans they way whites have ruled over blacks.
Rev. Wright at the NPC in 2008.
The prophetic theology of the black church has always seen and still sees all of God's children as sisters and brothers, equals who need reconciliation, who need to be reconciled as equals in order for us to walk together into the future which God has prepared for us.
Reconciliation does not mean that blacks become whites or whites become blacks and Hispanics become Asian or that Asians become Europeans.
Reconciliation means we embrace our individual rich histories, all of them. We retain who we are as persons of different cultures, while acknowledging that those of other cultures are not superior or inferior to us. They are just different from us.
We root out any teaching of superiority, inferiority, hatred, or prejudice.
And we recognize for the first time in modern history in the West that the other who stands before us with a different color of skin, a different texture of hair, different music, different preaching styles, and different dance moves, that other is one of God's children just as we are, no better, no worse, prone to error and in need of forgiveness, just as we are.

I hate colored fonts. Call me a fontist but I hate colored fonts.
Anyway, the above quotation needs to be properly restated without the color fonts.

With apologies on the use of colored fonts, but it is the only way I can see for quoted material to survive someone else quoting a post and keep the distinction that it was a quote.
The Pew Forum's U.S. Religious Landscape Survey offers demographic information on members of the United Church of Christ (UCC). Key findings include:
The UCC is classified as a mainline Protestant denomination in the Congregationalist family whose members make up 0.5% of the U.S. adult population.
While Obama's congregation in Chicago is predominantly black, the UCC denomination overall is 91% white.
