Listen America: He's talking to you!

I've been sort of following the press about Rev. Jeremiah Wright and him being "unpatriotic". Since when is speaking the truth about the United States government unpatriotic???? Was a German speaking down on the Nazi regime for their inhuman treatment of their citizens and others considered unpatriotic?
Well for those of you who don't know or haven't heard of this very educated brotha, Rev Jeremiah Wright is President ( hehehe ) Barack Obamas old pastor. Now Obama already responded by condemning Wright's remarks, cutting his relationship to his campaign, and delivering a speech entitled "A More Perfect Union" at the Constitution Center in Philly in the speech, Obama rejected Wright's offensive comments, but refused to disown the man himself.
Here's an excerpt of a recent speech he gave as he addresses a breakfast gathering at the National Press Club in Washington, Monday, April 28, 2008.

On Whether the government created AIDS to destroy the African American community:
“Based on what has happened to Africans in this country, I believe our government is capable of doing anything.”

On Patriotism:

“Those citizens who say that have never heard my sermons,” Wright said. “I served six years in the military. Does that make me patriotic? How many years did Cheney serve? (just so you know Cheney an architect of the Iraq war, received student deferments that kept him out of military service during the Vietnam War.

“God Bless America? No, God damn America God damns some practices, and there is no excuse for some of the things the government, not the American people, have done. That doesn’t make me not like America, or unpatriotic.”

Wright, 66, said the news coverage of his sermons showed a fundamental misunderstanding of the black religious tradition in America, which evolved over hundreds of years of slavery and repression. “This is an attack on the black church,” he said. “If you think I’m going to let you talk about my momma and her religious tradition, and my daddy and his religious tradition, you’ve got another think coming.”

Though Shady Hillary and the rest of her posy feel that Wright's views ( i.e. HISTORY) are the same of Obama's, its like many have said before, your own parents say many things you don't agree with but you can still respect them.
