Not to continue to take this off topic, but pointing out that someone is behaving in the same manner as a chimp is just pointing out the truth in what they see. Have you taken a look at some of those videos where the black teens are causing chaos in fast food restaurants? Did you see the one where the girl got up on the counter and started acting up and throwing things? Did she not look like a chimp doing that? I thought the resemblence was astounding, black or white. It was their body language and animation, not skin color. If I see that, I will call it out no matter who it is, so if people want to not be equated to a primate, STOP ACTING LIKE ONE!

We did not need any lawsuits against "Trumpet" that would affect the church or that would pierce the corporate veil of the church. The word "Trinity" was dropped from the title and "Trumpet Newsmagazine" began to be published as an independent magazine and setup as its own corporation.

Jeremiah Wright's 'Trumpet' | The Weekly Standard

In September 2005, Trumpet officially separated from Wright's church and became an independent entity,
that's an interesting link, but if you think that reverend jerry and his church were not still deeply involved with the trumpet, you're dreaming.

Right on. It's not the color of skin, it's their actions.

I've read enough of Kurtz's work to know that if he could have spun the story that the Trumpet was still being produced by Trinity UCC he would have done it. Fact is the magazine was being produced by an independent entity and not under the governance structure of the church.

Well now you know and do you realize you just contradicted yourself a bit.

But go on ahead and ignore this and go back to defending your messiah and bashing Beck.

Warm your brain up, here comes a fast ball. At what time has the commander in chief of these United States of America acted like a monkey??!!!

I don't care what some girl in a restaurant did, that has nothing to due with Obama.

Have you seen some of the skinhead videos where they have gone to various concerts or football {Europe} and acted the same way and in some instances even worse??!!

Have you not seen the videos where they taunt the black players by throwing bananas at them or howling likes monkeys...I guess that's just an inconvenient truth.

So no, your statement did not address the question of why the CIC was likened to that of a monkey.

He knows what that guy meant. Not surprising when you go through his history of post. Not one positive comment on any thread or person black. The guy could have said monkey N*(*&^* and he would say it was not racist. Nothing said or done to black people is racist to c-d right wingers. Believe that.
