You can listen to his sermon online, if you choose to. Even Mr. Obama has disassociated from him. Why do you choose to deny facts?
No example of a racist statement by Rev. Wright, huh? Maybe Obama disagreed with the good reverend's condemnation of America in overly strong terms. Political disassociation.
I love it when folks say: "Everybody knows it!" Eight Jewish Korea Veterans!
In other words you can't name one, just one, black Republican governor, senator or House member. I wonder why that is? The numbers are clear as is the conclusion....the Republican party is racist.

... Democrats don't rush to live with minorities either.
Democrats may be racially more tolerant, but... they are socially less tolerant than Republicans, and minorities, especially new immigrants and African Americans, tend to belong to lower social classes.
The paradox of the modern American leftist, socialist but socially intolerant, democrat but elitist.
No example of a racist statement by Rev. Wright, huh? Maybe Obama disagreed with the good reverend's condemnation of America in overly strong terms. Political disassociation.

His Political disassociation came many months after the good reverend's comments when Mr. Obama realized it wasn't just going to go away...
If he didn't agree with him, he'd have left his church years ago.
Why are you trying to say it's an internet myth??? As you say, Obama "politically disassociated" with him. That's no myth...
ummmm... how do I say this nicely?... I previously made the statement that the current Democratic party is far more racist than the republican party.
And, you see, Mr. Obama is the delegate for the Democratic party nomination... so it seems fair to say he represents the democratic party. and, ummm... he had to disassociate himself from a 20 year relationship with his pastor who preaches racism from his pulpit. and, ummm.. I was just responding to someone's post which tried to say a previous response I made regarding the above was an internet myth.
hmmm...

Name one example of racism preached by Rev. Wright.
Look, repeating a rumor doesn't make it valid. You happen to be wrong.
Reverend Wright --not just racist. Stupid, as well.
"Romans were Italians..Hillary is a rich white man...."
"The country is run by rich, white men..." Like Russel Simmons, or Robert L. Johnson?
Reverend Wright -- a stupid, fish-eyed, hate-poisoned racist fool. So jealous of Obama that he tried to derail his candidacy with his loathsome and ugly parody of the Christian faith.

Notice how the names on your list all say "former" before listing the office held. There's a reason for that. I was referring to CURRENT Republican governors, senators, or House members. The Republican party has become the party of racists since most of those names listed held office.. Any way, go ahead name one black Republican currently serving in any of positions I mentioned.
