Barack Obama’s racist and anti-semitic church
comment by Jerry Gordon
Barack Obama, the emerging champion of “hope and change” in the tussle for the Democratic Presidential nomination in the New Hampshire primary has two problems. One is the continuing question of whether he was ever a practicing Muslim, a matter that Dan Pipes addresses in a FrontPageMagazine article today entitled: “Confirmed: Barack Obama practiced Islam”. Pipes calls him “an irregularly practicing Muslim” in riposte to criticism of Pipes allegations based on an L.A. times report back in March, 2007.
I consider that a mere piffle when compared to something we have posted on: Obama’s membership in a Chicago South Side Trinity United Church of Christ headed by a racist and anti-semitic pastor, Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.
Obama has gone out of his way to point to this relationship as evidence of his being a professing Christian and, simultaneously, as Pipes has pointed out a murtadd or apostate under Islam.
Now, comes this Ron Kessler Washington Insider NewsMax.com piece revealing the bizarre, racial and anti-semitic views of Pastor Wright, including the allegation that we, ‘as a white nation brought 9/11 down on ourselves because of our violent acts’.
Is the smoke coming out of your ears, yet?
Look at what Kessler cites:
In sermons and interviews, Dr. Wright has equated Zionism with racism and Israel with South Africa under its previous policy of apartheid. On the Sunday after 9/11, Wright said the attacks were a consequence of violent American policies. Four years later, Wright suggested that the attacks were retribution for America’s racism.
“In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01,” Wright wrote in a church-affiliated magazine. “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.”
In one of his sermons, Wright said, “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.”
As for Israel, “The Israelis have illegally occupied Palestinian territories for over 40 years now,” Wright has said. “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.”
Either Barrack Obama disavows his membership in Pastor Wright’s church with its bizarre ‘racist and anti-semitic views’ or he’s toast even among liberal Democratic voters, if they haven’t been taken in by his platitudinous mantra of ‘hope and change’.
Should Obama emerge as a Democratic front runner in these early primaries, this scurrilous relationship will likely do him in, even if he feigns to disavow Pastor Wright’s racist and anti-semitic views. Barack Obama still belongs to Pastor Wright’s Trinity United Church in Chicago.
Barack Obama’s Racist Church
If Sen. Obama rejects the Rev. Wright’s warped view of this country, why does he continue to attend his church?

Imagine if Mitt Romney’s church proclaimed on its website that it is “unashamedly white.”
The media would pounce, and Romney’s presidential candidacy would be over. Yet that is exactly what Barack Obama’s church says on its web site — except in reverse.
“We are a congregation which is unashamedly black and unapologetically Christian,” says the Trinity United Church of Christ’s website in Chicago. “We are an African people and remain true to our native land, the mother continent, the cradle of civilization.”
That’s just the beginning. The church has a “non-negotiable commitment to Africa,” according to its website, and its pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. subscribes to what is called the Black Value System.
While the Black Value System includes such items as commitment to God, education, and self-discipline, it refers to “our racist competitive society” and includes the disavowal of the pursuit of “middle-classness” and a pledge of allegiance to “all black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System.” It defines “middle-classness” as a way for American society to “snare” blacks rather than “killing them off directly” or “placing them in concentration camps,” just as the country structures “an economic environment that induces captive youth to fill the jails and prisons.”
In sermons and interviews, Dr. Wright has equated Zionism with racism and Israel with South Africa under its previous policy of apartheid. On the Sunday after 9/11, Wright said the attacks were a consequence of violent American policies. Four years later, Wright suggested that the attacks were retribution for America’s racism.
“In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01,” Wright wrote in a church-affiliated magazine. “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.”

As for Israel, “The Israelis have illegally occupied Palestinian territories for over 40 years now,” Wright has said. “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.”
Obama says he found religion and Jesus Christ through Wright, whom he met in the mid-1980s. He has been attending Wright’s church regularly since 1988.

Calling a black person a racist bigot for his own words or deeds or by the company he keeps, is not nearly as easy as it is to similarly accuse a white person. It should be no different but it is.
Most in white America have become so shamed by their discriminatory history against Blacks that they are bending over backward to try to make amends.
Those efforts to make amends have been extended to white America tolerating Black racists, be they anti-White, antisemitic, or anti any other ethnic or religious group in society, to an extent far beyond what white America would tolerate in a white racist.
It is for that reason that I highly doubt the main stream media will have the guts to challenge Barak Obama on his long term association with the Trinity United Church of Christ and its anti-White and antisemitic pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr.

I should add to my comment, that I am not in any way suggesting that Barak Obama is a racist, but rather because of his long time membership with the Trinity United Church of Christ and its anti-White and antisemitic pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. and his choice to remain in that association while making a run for the President of the U.S., he has opened himself up to greater scrutiny and critical examination.
The question to be put to Barak Obama that probably will not be put, is how does he reconcile his not being an antisemite with his choice to remain within a church that is led by a pastor that is?

If the ranting of Ahmadinejad were not identical to those of Obama’s pastor and spiritual advisor, half as much attention could be paid to fanatical, irrational leaders in control of nuclear arsenals. Unfortunately, many Americans today are defending Mr. Obama and his ability to run this nation based that he is not racist, but rather ignorant, he simply paid no attention to twenty years of preached blasphemous bigotry.

If Obama denies being in Church or denies reading the bulletin as he frequently does, is he really attending church at all? It seems to me that he may be a few times a year church attendee, not a regular attendee as he claims. If he is not at church everytime something contraversial happens is he lying when he claims regular attendance. If he can lie about church attendance what else is he lying about, for instance, his so called claim of support for Israel?
