The news on Obama's mentor, Jeremiah Wright just gets more and more disgusting. Look at these comments Jeremiah Wright made about Natalee Holloway. He is one sick individual.

Sen. Barack Obama's longtime friend and spiritual adviser trashed the memory of a missing and presumed dead American teenage girl, according to church publications reviewed by WND.

Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the controversial minister of Obama's church in Chicago, cited the case of Natalee Holloway's disappearance in Aruba in complaining about what he sees as the media's bias in covering white victims of crime over black victims.

"Black women are being raped daily in Darfur, Sudan, in the Congo and in Sub-Saharan Africa. That doesn't make news," Wright said in the August 2005 edition of Trumpet Magazine, a publication of his Trinity United Church of Christ.

But, "One 18-year-old white girl from Alabama gets drunk on a graduation trip to Aruba, goes off and 'gives it up' while in a foreign country, and that stays in the news for months!" he added. "Maybe I am missing something!"

What is wrong with this statement? It's the the truth - What happened in to this girl is pretty much what has been stated above and the story has been on TV for almost two yrs. But when scores die IRAQ or perhaps as those women in Dafur, Sub-Saharan, and Congo are being raped and tortured while the media ingnores the situation is just SAD. Simple fact and people just happen not to like it. If you are informed you will know.
