there are some smuggled hotcars here in the philippines like a convertible corvette, audi a8, nissan armada, a few bmws, a lamborgini and some porsches……….those cars will be destroyed i think today because they are smuggled and our president ordered that those hotcars must be destroyed…………………I think our president is not thinking right because she can auction of those hotcars which costs more than 18million pesos and the money can be used by the government for improving our country

I know it is a little long, and I am sure that you can get shorter snippets on the youtube, but I think if you are going to attack a man you should have more at hand than the phrase “God [smite] America.”

Even if you don’t agree with him, can you not acknowledge that he has an overall positive impact on his Chicago community? Is it terrible that African-Americans might have a church that is geared towards their historical struggles and those struggles that fill so much of the Bible?
And even if you do not watch the video of him giving the sermon, contained in part on the video I linked to and on youtube. Won’t you read this excerpt:
“And the United States of America government, when it came to treating her citizens of Indian descent fairly, she failed. She put them on reservations. When it came to treating her citizens of Japanese descent fairly, she failed. She put them in internment prison camps. When it came to treating citizens of African descent fairly, America failed. She put them in chains. The government put them on slave quarters, put them on auction blocks, put them in cotton fields, put them in inferior schools, put them in substandard housing, put them in scientific experiments, put them in the lowest paying jobs, put them outside the equal protection of the law, kept them out of their ****** bastions of higher education and locked them into position of hopelessness and helplessness. The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law, and then wants us to sing God bless America? No, no, no. Not God bless America; God d*** America! That’s in the Bible, for killing innocent people. God d*** America for treating her citizen as less than human. God d*** America as long as she keeps trying to act like she is God and she is supreme!”
Now I have had a little experience with some of the more fundamentalist Christians (white ones), and they have a huge problem with country coming before God. That is more or less where he is coming from. That as long as America does what she thinks is right, instead of what God says is right, America does not warrant God’s blessing, as she is not following God.
So, is Reverend Wright being unreasonable? If so, why do you think he is? Why is it wrong for a member of a historically disadvantaged community wrong to read their religion from their community’s perspective? Are you uncomfortable with the mix of Christianity and race? More or less, I would like to know why people think Reverend Wright is a negative issue, if they do, after getting the whole story.
