What did we expect?

Surreal

I'm speechless

He claims he's been crucified, is that a trump on a race card? Or what? THe Jeebus Card?

"Stupid is, as stupid does!" - Forrest Gump

- Holy crap - this is just the introduction?

He better hurry up and get said what he wants to say, 'cause I think he might explode before he gets to the main event then

Which cross?

The 10 million dollar line of credit, or the big house in a fancy neighborhood?

Or perhaps it's the direct phone line to Barack Hssein Obama.

If those are "crosses", sign me up.

BREATHE, JEREMIAH, BREATHE

RUN ON SENTENCES, MAN

the obama campaign must be screaming at thier tv's right about now..and this is just the introduction!

My goodness. My, my, my.

This guy speaking now is scary enough.

Did he just compare the Rev Wright to Jesus?

I guarantee Wright is going to keep it toned down.

He's getting a wild standing ovation.

obama is toast..

Oh, that wasn't him yet. I was just listening. At first I thought he was going Bob Dole on us with the third-person speaking.

Was there punctuation in that?

Maybe it's meant to make him appear cool-headed and dignified by comparison.

He won't say anything controversial.

Just a typical sweet old man.

re: #18 Charles

He won't say anything controversial.

Not on the record
But backstage and in his own element....

re: #18 Charles
I wouldn't be so sure Charles, he has nothing to lose and based on his prior interview, he doesn't seem to care much about Obama. Time will tell.

That was seriously intense. I feel like I need to turn the TV off and put on something calmer and less abrasive to give my ears a break

/like an Iron Maiden CD on full volume

Time for a drink.....

I love how Fox runs a huge yellow and black alert banner, scrolling in two different directions, the whole time he's speaking.

Fair and balanced!

re: #22 Rain Patriot

That was seriously intense. I feel like I need to turn the TV off and put on something calmer and less abrasive to give my ears a break

Just wait till Sharpton shuts down NYC
You ain't seen nothing yet

The good reverend really doesn't like whitey, does he?

re: #23 vapig

What is the word for the speech? Chickens, KKK, G*d D*mn...?

Here it comes

We've all heard you speak, man.

Gotta love the shoulder dance.

I am convinced Obama's candidacy will go down as one of the most racially divisive episodes in recent American history.

"The NAACP is non-partisan"

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

"ALL races"

And so a new national race pimp is born. Im sure Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson are secretly mad at the compitition.

Wow! I did not realize how bad the "honkies" have given this poor man the shaft. He is such a victim!
/sarc

He's ripping on suburban Detroit/Oakland County Executive L Brooks Patterson. Here's what Patterson said: "His remarks that I have seen on television are divisive, do not unite the black and white communities and drive a wedge. We'll stay tuned and hope for the best."

I certainly hope there are some cooler heads in the Black Community, between this guy and Sharpton, they are heading down a dangerous road.

If Obama cannot win the Presidency just from the African-Amercian vote I would suggest the good Reverend has just sealed his election fate.

Somewhat ironic if Obama joined the church to get some street cred as being black-enough in order to get elected to an office in the first place, no?

He's now giving a mocking "apology."

re: #18 Charles

He won't say anything controversial.

Are you sure Charles? I've seen no evidence that he can restrain himself. Seems to be a past master and opening his mouth and inserting his foot.

Should I feel bad for hoping Hillary can stay in the race just to see what this becomes like by the time the Convention rolls around?

re: #26 DesertSage

The good reverend really doesn't like whitey, does he?

Funny for a man that is whiter of skin tone than almost anyone in my family.

re: #30 onepistoffyid

I am convinced Obama's candidacy will go down as one of the most racially divisive episodes in recent American history.

That's a safe bet!

Is this what NAACP stand for?

REv. Wright's Messiah complex, includes the crucifixion.

Wright's ego is too big for him to be quiet right now. He will dig a bigger hole for himself and BHO.

Change!

What does Soledad O'Brian have to do with this?

re: #16 joecitizen

I doubt it... Media are with him

Man, what an egomaniac this clown is. It's all me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me, and me.

Im starting to think that Hillary will pull out the nomination. It will piss off black folks so much that many will stay home on election day.

McCain wont even have to campaign. He can sit in a rocking chair on the porch and wait for the good news.

Behold the God Damn America coalition.

Can anyone tell me why this man is speaking at an NAACP dinner? I mean after all the damage he has done, why would an organization that clearly wants to get African Americans in prominent positions cater to a man who has quite possibly single handedly sunk Obama's campaign? It makes no sense to me.

He's clearly a racist nut

I'm glad Obama started this conversation on race.

Change towards a hope that we can believe in, for tomorrow!

...Hopefully!

...Believe it!

Wow, the NAACP is non-partisan? Could have fooled me!

Frankie Beverly and Maze?

why is he singing

What's wrong with this guy?

Soledad OBrian and Roland Martin singled out.

Oy...

He has an .... interesting... singing voice.

re: #57 Rain Patriot

LOL... my question too. Seems he is "Deficient" too. LOL

If this was "The Gong Show", his singing would have caused Jaye P Morgan to reach for the mallet.

re: #62 Mr. E. Train

it sucked thou

What a tool. Is it just me or do all these guys do bad impressions of MLK?

Methinks this man is a few samiches short of a picnic

You be different.

If I don't like Frankie Beverly and Maze, am I a racist?

Bet Hillary was watching. And salivating.

Because they AGREE WITH EVERYTHING HE'S SAID!

He's totally "I'm Rick James, Dammit" with his attitude.

Rebrun Wright is a sorry excuse for a man of G_d. He's a sorry excuse for a human.

re: #69 Charles
They'll call you a racist no matter what Charles. I'm afraid it's the "cross" you'll have to bear.

re: #66 SecretInternetDoucheBag

MLK was a fine black person who appreciated America even though America probably didn't treat him well. He's way above this moron Rev. Wright

" a change is coming"
another way to say the Revolution is coming. Nothing new under the sun. Its the 60's again, only with crappier music.

I couldn't watch past the introduction before he started speaking. No thank you to getting yelled at - I'll wait for a transcript.

This is totally unfair. I have a Calculus final in the morning that I'm supposed to be studying for, but this is too good to turn off... Why tonight?!

re: #55 CanuckInMI

Wow, the NAACP is non-partisan? Could have fooled me!

Yep, they are.

/Just like liberals who claim they're "tolerant".

the naacp. the national association for the advancement of colored people. they fought to end segregation. now they find this horrible black separatist their hero.
well, ok.

re: #69 Charles

If I don't like Frankie Beverly and Maze, am I a racist?

You are white Charles. You have no right at all to dislike anyone of color on any basis at all. To do so makes you a racist.

re: #71 Bob in Breckenridge

Because they AGREE WITH EVERYTHING HE'S SAID!

OR WILL SAY!

I just changed the channel to watch "The Simpsons". I dont want to hear this moron one more time.

"now analyze that" What the hell? This guy is a paranoid freak as well as a racist and narcisistic goofball.

The more this clown gets air time, the more BO will lose votes. Let him keep talking. He is the anti-vote.

I must only be half racist. I like both Mozart an BB King.

Guess Obama has to trot out poor old Grandma now.

Grandma: " Well, yes, I am the typical white person. "

re: #78 Rain Patriot

This is totally unfair. I have a Calculus final in the morning that I'm supposed to be studying for, but this is too good to turn off... Why tonight?!

Because if you do not know it by now studying for a calc final at this late hour will do damned-all for your grade except lower it anyway.

Actually, I do like Frankie Beverly and Maze. Does that mean I'm not a racist?

Now playing: Neurology with Prof. Wright

Why is Wright out there dissing Obama, or at least keeping the issue alive? One theory is that if Obama wins every hateful diatribe against the US he has preached would be invalidated.

re: #78 Rain Patriot

This is totally unfair. I have a Calculus final in the morning that I'm supposed to be studying for, but this is too good to turn off... Why tonight?!

Get to studying.

This will melt your brains.

re: #69 Charles

If I don't like Frankie Beverly and Maze, am I a racist?

If I never heard of Frankie Beverly and Maze, am I racist?

/if they were on the TV show, I accidentally hit the wrong button on my cable remote a while back and haven't got around to figuring out which one. My TV is currently out to lunch as a result.

He's teaching us about the human brain, now. Not your typical sermon.

So is he saying that there are biological/genetic differences between the races? Isnt that a rather racist view? The KKK must love this guy.

left brain / object oriented discrimination?

I don't know who Maze and Frankie Beverly what am i?

Great! What the black people need, another paranoid bigot. What's he going to do next, threaten to hold protest of fortune 500 co. unless they contribute to his coalition/church for tolerance?

Now, he says blacks learn differently than whites? How does Obama learn since he's multiracial?

Left Brain is ripping us off!

re: #99 faraway

He hasn't learned much

re: #97 CheatyPantsMcSweatervest

Huh? Never heard of them either. Rap stars perhaps? Don't know.

Right-brained subject oriented? He is claiming teaching methods should be different for blacks. Rev. Anti-vote, keep testifying...

re: #79 Bob in Breckenridge

.....The organization held its second conference in May of 1910, where members chose the name the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. [5] The name was formally adopted May 30, and the NAACP incorporated a year later, in 1911. The association's charter delineated its mission:

To promote equality of rights and to eradicate caste or race prejudice among the citizens of the United States; to advance the interest of colored citizens; to secure for them impartial suffrage; and to increase their opportunities for securing justice in the courts, education for the children, employment according to their ability and complete equality before law.

The conference resulted in a more viable, influential and diverse organization, where the leadership was predominantly white and heavily Jewish. In fact, at its founding, the NAACP had only one African American on its executive board, Du Bois himself, and did not elect a black president until 1975. The Jewish community contributed greatly to the NAACP's founding and continued financing. Jewish historian Howard Sachar writes in his book A History of Jews in America of how, "In 1914, Professor Emeritus Joel Spingarn of Columbia University became chairman of the NAACP and recruited for its board such Jewish leaders as Jacob Schiff, Jacob Billikopf, and Rabbi Stephen Wise." [1] Early Jewish co-founders included Julius Rosenthal, Lillian Wald, Rabbi Emil G. Hirsch and Wise.
Du Bois continued to play a pivotal role in the organization and served as editor of the association's magazine, The Crisis, which had a circulation of over 30,000.

The president of the NAACP from its founding to 1915 was Moorfield Storey, who was white. Storey was a long-time classical liberal and Grover Cleveland Democrat who advocated laissez-faire free markets, the gold standard, and anti-imperialism. Storey consistently and aggressively championed civil rights not only for blacks but also for Native Americans and immigrants (he opposed immigration restriction).

/muslims? what muslims?

i think rev wright is pissed at osama. things have gotten beyond their control.

re: #95 Mr. E. Train

So is he saying that there are biological/genetic differences between the races? Isnt that a rather racist view? The KKK must love this guy.

Absolutely. Can you imagine a TYP saying such things?

#72-Mbruce:

" I'm a very special Reverend,
the kind that keeps you out of the presidency,
and will kick your spirit down,
when your campaigning in the street,"

superfreaky, yeah !

Man, I wish I had access to Fox.

[Link: en.wikipedia.org...]

re: #99 faraway

We must learn from him!
/Mainstream Media

unfookin' believable. excuses, excuses

oh hell now he's going to start rapping

[I would love to stay and commentate but I really should be going. I'll catch up on the material later on youtube - later, everyone]

This is some extremely wacky stuff here.

re: #108 Cognito

it might be online on CSPAN

I would walk out of this sermon. No need to wait another day.

re: #94 Salem

He's teaching us about the human brain, now. Not your typical sermon.

I would love to know where he got his credentials in Neurophysiology. I thought his Masters was in islam. At least that is what he wrote.

Watching the IAF on 60 minutes.

IAF Pilot, “...the first war we lose will be our last.”

He's basically saying that brown people's brains work differently from white people's brains.

Lovely.

Obama has got to be kicking himself right now. Every time this moron opens up his mouth, Obama loses votes.

I hope if I ever run for public office, my pastor's sermons are all over the web and TV. I have nothing to fear.

re: #108 Cognito

Man, I wish I had access to Fox.

Watch CNN

re: #108 Cognito

Man, I wish I had access to Fox.

find it online

I am sure there is simultaneous streaming somewhere

re: #113 Charles

This is some extremely wacky stuff here.

You're a whitey, you just don't get it.

Is the NAACP working for Hillary?
Why else give him a keynote address

The superdelegates may be on a conference call at this very moment. Maybe the race will be over tomorrow.

Final note: why do I feel a speech on Ebonics coming on?
