NORFOLK
Barack Obama's spiritual mentor will preach next month in Norfolk.
The Reverend Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. is scheduled to address members of the Bank Street Memorial Baptist Church on April 13th.
Until retiring this year, Wright was pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.
The Democratic presidential contender has had to defend his long affiliation with Wright because of the cleric's incendiary remarks from the pulpit.
Obama has denounced the comments.

I read the CNN report…and I in affect agree with several of the pastor's points and disagree with others. However, what I’d like to know is why Obama is apologizing for his pastor? I do, however, believe that a government shouldn’t be for any specific group of people. The government should have policies that cater to all its citizens regardless of their backgrounds. The government should be here to protect and defend the citizens.
I believe that, in general, the majority of the country lives too much in the past. We MUST move on or we’ll be stuck in the quagmire of racism, race politics and race envy. Being a product of two races (my father was an Apache Indian and my mother, African American). The funny thing about my parents my father’s people were hunted down and kill on site, run into Mexico and given clothing that other Indians wore when they died of smallpox. My father had no animosity towards anyone (even though the Indians lost ALL of their good hunting land); whereas, my mother vehemently hates white people because of the thought of slavery. Regardless of their beliefs the past can’t be changed. So we need to stop looking back, move forward and chang
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<RACIST>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I do not care who you are but this guy is the worst enemy of the black community and people like him, Jesse, Al etc etc will continue to keep the black community where they are today! Perhaps listening to Bill Cosby and some of Farrkhan's words (some) might help but this racist moron will do nothing for anyone.
I bet there will be peace on the streets when he is here with no protests led by instigating idiots and then riots destroying ones own neighborhood.
Thank you Reverend!
He has shown me the light. I feel empowered! Energized! Vindicated! A power I have never felt before is surging through my body!
Listen up my brothers and sisters...
All your problems and sins will be washed away. You just have to blame everyone else for your shortcomings and problems. This free education is really a trick! Mathematics is the work of the white-devil! All non-blacks are the enemy!
Seriously though...
When are we going to get tired of this one-sided racist jibbah-jabber? Get lost Reverend. Go sell your hate somewhere else. Perhaps to the country you are truly dedicated to...
Preach on, brother!
Make Obama squirm! GO HILLARY!!!
So maybe the guy's language
So maybe the guy's language was a bit inflammatory (how better to get people's attention?), but did he really say anything that isn't true? American has indeed done some damnable things. He did mention putting George W. Bush in the White House, right?
Of Politicans and Preachers
How dare this preacher say that the attack against the WTC was blowback! Just because we trained and funded the people involved and did everything we could to incite them by supporting the Ibn Saud mafia . . .
Well, maybe the preacher has a point. Anyway, Rev. Wright isn't Senator Obama anymore than controversial Pastor John Hagee is John McCain though at least the former as made clear is differences while the latter sought an endorsment.
CNN
CNN has a great story about how Wright's comments were completely taken out of context, which affected the overall message. Read it if you want further insight. Bullies don't know how to react when they are the ones being picked on, especially by forces they believe they're superior to. I agree with the Rev.-"we may need to declare war on racism, injustice, and greed, instead of war on other countries."
Oh, and God BLESS America, but you have to help yourself before you can expect God to do all of the work.

OH NO
Has he not said enough. We now know what kind of person this nut is. Hope he leaves the Black Panters at home. We dont need him in Norfolk stirring up trouble.
See the truth at the church's own website
I believe that the Church is God's church, not man's. Church is not about race. It appears to me that this church is about black socialism and separatism, not about the corporate worship of the people of God, in Christ. Why would a black pastor want to separate himself and his church like this? Why would a man choose to attend a church like this if he didn't believe what it said? Why does the Black Value System supersede Christ's teachings in this church?
This is on the church's own website:
THE BLACK VALUE SYSTEM
Trinity United Church of Christ adopted the Black Value System, written by the Manford Byrd Recognition Committee, chaired by the late Vallmer Jordan in 1981.
Dr. Manford Byrd, our brother in Christ, withstood the ravage of being denied his earned ascension to the number one position in the Chicago School System. His dedication to the pursuit of excellence, despite systematic denials, has inspired the congregation of Trinity United Church of Christ. Prayerfully, we have called upon the wisdom of all past generations of suffering Blacks for guidance in fashioning an instrument of Black self-determination, the Black Value System.
Beginning in 1982, an
Thank you Rev
Sincerely, JohnnyMac and Hill
We don't need Wright...
We've got Riddick to mouth off.
What?
Nothing like "Adding fuel to the fire."
God Bless Norfolk?
I hope the message isn't God XXXX Norfolk instead...
Wonderful
Just what Norfolk needs with all their current racially-charged issues, a far left-wing knucklehead spewing hateful, racial, and anti-American slurs under the mask of religion. What are the organizers thinking?
Oh, it's O.K. now, he's retired!
Oh yeah!
I am there! Let's all go see the historic damage control.
