Rev. Jeremiah Wright Says Jews Are Preventing Obama From Talking to Him

Why hasn't President Obama talked to his old pastor, Jeremiah Wright, since the presidential campaign? Wright himself has an explanation: the Jews.

Here's what he told Virginia's Daily Press yesterday (audio clip above):

Them Jews ain't going to let him talk to me .... He's got to do what politicians do. And the Jewish vote, the AIPAC vote that's controlling him, that will not let him send representation to the Darfur Review Conference, that's talking this craziness on Israel because they're Zionists, they will not let him talk to somebody who calls a spade what it is. Ethnic cleansing is going on in Gaza—the ethnic cleansing of the Zionists is a sin and a crime against humanity.

How remarkable that Wright absolves himself and the president of responsibility for the breakdown in their relationship and turns it into Jewish conspiracy. And on the same day of the deadly Holocaust Museum shooting, no less.

Kneel & relenquish? Over your cold cadavers ...

whatever.

White supremacy is the sickest insanity that the world has ever known. White europeans of every faith, nationality and so called ethnicity are the sole blame for the North and South American slave trade. And that includes Jews. If it were Arabs we would be in Saudi Arabia. If it were other Africans, we would still be in Africa. Either way we would'nt even be having this conversation. Portuguese raiders spent generations trying to invade the coast of Africa and to this day count it as a hallmark of thier greatnesss that they were the first of the European enslavers to succesfully capture and enslave Africans. Before the era of political correctness, white americans were all too proud to proclaim the slave trade as an achievement and evidence of thier dominance. But now it seems as if this is not so much something to be proud of, so they deny that they were ever even involved. As illogical as it seems,it makes perfect sense. This is quite typical. This is a culture that has built itself on plunder and revising, rewriting, or totally fabricating history. As a matter of fact the new revision is for them to characterize themselves as the victims. "Reverse Racism" is the new catch phrase of the unrepentent and determined white supremist. Take notes. See who are the ones repeating this catch phrase over and over again and you will know what I am talking about. Jeremiah Wright is an easy target. Why? Because he is a proponent and practicioner of thier false and totally plaigarized religion. Therefore he allows himself to be judged by there standard. If his point of departure were from a totally independent paradigm that had nothing to do with thier initial and foundational presumption they try to pretend that he didn't exist. At the end of the day it doesn't matter what the oppresor thinks of the oppressed. He/She is your/our enemy. So all that matters is that they kneel and relenquish.

So tell me why George Washington didn't become our king if he really wanted to keep average joe down???

You are also nuts if you believe that no one but a few rich guys wanted freedom from king george. Who do you think actually fought the war. There were not enough rich guys then or now to fight the war themselves.

As a history teacher I would think that you would be able to see our history for what it is. Are we a perfect country? No, but I defy you to tell me another country that has done better for not only their own but for the world in general.

Don't tell me how bad we are. We have enough nuke power to destroy all our enemies 100 times over and yet we elect to restrain ourselves. If "The Jews" were in control as some of you would like to believe then why is Obama out there telling Muslims that he is their new best friend? Why haven't "them jews" convinced us to nuke their enemies???

Wake up and take a look in the mirror, you will probably see a disgruntled and bitter individual.

I fail to see a valid argument from you yet. So if not a Republic then what? A monarchy where one person tells you what to do??? An oligarchy where a small group runs your life??? Or would you rather a Democracy where the mob runs your life??? Your are a fool if you believe a democracy is the answer.

For you to live in this country with all the freedoms you enjoy and spit in the face of our founding fathers who risked death if caught is disturbing to say the least...
