Here are some Quotes that were made Famous by Barack Obama's controversial Preacher, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the senior pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. Some of Wright’s statements have raised eyebrows at a time the Internal Revenue Service is scrutinizing tax-exempt religious organizations for alleged violations of rules barring them from participating in political campaigns.
Rev. Jeremiah Wright said...
- ”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, God damn America, that’s in the Bible for killing innocent people.”
- “God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme.”
- “We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye. We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America’s chickens are coming home to roost.” {He said this five days after the September 11th attacks on 9-16-01}
- “The government lied about Pearl Harbor. They knew the Japanese were going to attack. Government’s lied.”
- “We’ve got a paranoid group of patriots in power that now, in the interest of homeland stupidity – I mean homeland security …”
- “The government lied about the Tuskegee experiment. They purposely infected African-American men with syphilis …” {I think he was a little mistaken here, not injected but not giving treatment as they said they would do}
- “Fighting for peace is like raping for virginity.”
- “… what’s going on in white America, U.S. of KKKA …”
- “Black men turning on black men – that is fighting the wrong enemy. You both are the primary targets in an oppressive society that sees both of you as a dangerous threat.”
- “We cannot see how what we are doing is the same thing al-Qaida is doing under a different color flag … And guess what else. If they don’t find them some weapons of mass destruction, they going to do just like the LAPD and plant them some weapons of mass destruction.”
- “God damn America – that’s in the Bible – for killing innocent people. God damn America for treating us citizens as less than human. God damn America …”
- "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, God damn America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people. God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme." {in a 2003 sermon}
- "Barack knows what it means to be a black man to be living in a country and a culture that is controlled by rich white people. Hillary can never know that. Hillary ain't never been called a nigger." {December 2007 sermon}
- “We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America’s chickens are coming home to roost.” {Sep 2001}
- “In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01. White America and the western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just ‘disappeared’ as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring black concerns.” {said in a magazine}
- “Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run!…We [in the U.S.] believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in God.” {another sermon speech}
- “Hillary is married to Bill, and Bill has been good to us. No he ain’t! Bill did us, just like he did Monica Lewinsky. He was riding dirty.” {another sermon}
- “The Israelis have illegally occupied Palestinian territories for over 40 years now. Divestment has now hit the table again as a strategy to wake the business community and wake up Americans concerning the injustice and the racism under which the Palestinians have lived because of Zionism.”
- “The government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color. The government lied.”
- “There is a man here who can take this country in a new direction,” {said in 1/13/08 sermon}
