Comments on: I’ll say it again, Reverend Wright isn’t “complex” or “misunderstood” – he is a racist

The quote was, from the reporting and video I have seen “The government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color. The government lied.”

There is no other way to read that than as an accusation that the US government DID create the HIV virus as a method of killing minorities. There is no loophole, no wiggle room. It is a flat out conspiracy accusation.

“he never said the government did anything as far as injecting or not injecting anything”

So what then does he think the “lie” was? If he thinks we “lied” about injecting HIV 9which isn’t my quote, but I’ll go with yours) then he either thinks we DID do it and claim we didn’t or he thinks we didn’t do it and claim we did. Since I know the government isn’t claiming to have injected HIV, it would have to be the former.

Look, the guy is crazy or putting on a show for money. There aren’t many other options. In either case his accusations are designed to appeal to carefully crafted community paranoia and anger. Paranoia and anger he, himself, has worked to create.

Trinity church is welcome to pay him whatever, buy him a house and spend millions on him if they choose. I am all for freedom that way and he is welcome to whatever he can fleece. However don;t expect me to buy into this “we are downtrodden by the man” routine from a guy in a million dollar house from a multi-million dollar congregation that includes a presidential candidate in it’s midst.

My definition of racism? There are two in the dictionary – the useful one here is “Discrimination or prejudice based on race.”.

There is no doubt that Wright is a racist.

By the way – thanks for coming over to post a comment, I welcome the chance for some good discussion wherever it happens.

key word being “seem” and again, this is as a result of 36 years in ministry. If the church wants to pay for it, and they have the money and they’re not doing anything illegal–then I really don’t see a problem with that.

And curiously they all seem to live in million dollar homes and drive expensive cars. Why are they so angry? Oh, I know, because it pays.

Seeing as how you hyperlinked my site, and I don’t see how that has to do with “hand wriging” at all, I think I need to clarify some of your points.

Jeremiah Wright said “the government lied about injecting AIDS into the black community…” he never said the government did anything as far as injecting or not injecting anything.

Furthermore, I would appreciate for you to define “racism” because I think many people operate from different vantage points of racism and causes confusion on both sides of the argument when there are differentiating starting points. I think it negates the ultimate fairness of the argument and it severely hinders the reconciliation process–a meeting on common ground by both sides.
