Yes that would bother me. Not sure why you are asking me this though.

There’s not one damn thing wrong with Wright. He served his country and earned the right to say anything he wants. He didn’t run for any office, and didnt ask for your consent.
Sure he can. But were not talking about his rights.

The fact that his sermons "god damn america" fell on the presidents ears for twenty years is just a minor needle in the patchwork quilt the dear reverend created....and btw marinated in 200 years of racism...remember Obama was a "renaissance man".

His parting shot. The man... is and will be a racist pig of a man and a traitor to our Country.

All the pretty words Y'all believed.

Why do Biblical stories offend you so much?

Reaching much?

Did Wright say something illegal? And how do you know the contents of his sermons over 20 years? What exactly did Wright say that wasn’t factual?

His supposed antipathy for America sure as hell didn’t stop him from giving up his college deferment and serving in the Navy and Marine Corps. What did your hero Trump do when it was his turn? In fact, where did YOU serve?

And you’re a huge supporter of President Bone Spurs. So I’m a supporter of Reverend Wright.

He was on point. The artist who did the paintings with the decapitated heads---Kehinde Wiley--- was doing allegory style paintings of a Biblical story.

Would you still be so supportive?
I will always support "controversial" art over boring, vanilla art.
