Obama continues to align himself with wacky radical Pastor Jeremiah Wright, Jr.
In his writings and sermons, Pastor Wright has left a trail of evidence that paint a picture of a radical activist, a man practicing a version of liberation theology, in which Jesus is not seen simply as a redeemer, but as a liberator of the oppressed. The portrait painted in Wright’s own words by John Perazzo at Front Page Magazine depicts a deeply radical man, convinced that racism is endemic in America,
“Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run!… We [Americans] believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in God.”
His views on capitalism are, if anything, even less benign:
“Capitalism as made manifest in the ‘New World,’” says Wright, “depended upon slave labor (by African slaves), and it is only maintained by keeping the ‘Two-Thirds World’ under oppression.”
Wright’s associations with Rev. Louis Farrakhan add to the picture of a radical far out of the mainstream.
