If you are NOT J M Walker, STFU!!

Ahaa ha ha ha ahum.

YOU have no evidence to continue to call me Chas. Even when you have been repeatedly told different. That doesnt seem to stop YOU does it? Why would that stop another Nic for accusing you?? Door King, you are truly a stupid idiot, and a freak of nature!

Some folks who would LIKE to post here just cant use real names. In my business world, I cant advertise that I am a Liberal. I would lose hundreds of thousands of $$$ per year in contracts.

And as for weeping, why dont you wait until Chas. shows up somewhere, and talk to him. Looks to me like Chas. IS using his name. But, since he is clergy, he wont use his real name in full. With the mental talents I see here, he would be stupid to use his full name. And so would anybody else who leads anything close to a public life.

This Blog is so far degenerated, it is surprising that ANY posters come here. All there is is daily harassment, and ad hominem posting. The only poster here that uses a real name seems to be WSClark, and even he gets accused of being other posters.

Are you people so mentally deficient, that you have nothing else of any resemblance of value to post, so you go after people’s choice of Nics?

That is truly sad!

We’ve been waiting for you for a long time. It’s good to finally have you here with us.

You can give up your Nics on posting here. Your new Nic which you shall use forever is this:

During the last two weeks, excerpts from sermons of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., pastor for more than 35 years at Trinity United Church of Christ on Chicago’s South Side, have flooded the airwaves and dominated our discourse about
the presidential campaign and race.

Wright has been depicted as a racial extremist, or just a plain racist. A number of political figures and news commentators have attempted to use Sen. Barack Obama’s association with him to call into question Obama’s judgment
and the sincerity of his commitment to unity.

I have been a member of Trinity, a church with an almost entirely African-American congregation, for more than 25 years. I
am, however, a white male. From a decidedly different perspective than most Trinitarians, I have heard Wright preach about racial inequality many times, in unvarnished and passionate terms.

In Obama’s recent speech in Philadelphia on racial issues confronting our nation, the senator eloquently observed that Rev. Wright’s sermons reflect the difficult experiences and frustrations of a generation.

It is important that we understand the dynamic Obama spoke about.

It also is important that we not let media coverage and political gamesmanship isolate selected remarks by Wright to the exclusion of anything else that might define him more
accurately and completely.

I find it very troubling that we have distilled Wright’s 35-year ministry to a few phrases; no context whatsoever has been offered or explored.

I do have a bit of personal context. About 26 years ago, I became engaged to my wife, an African-American. She was at that time and remains a member of Trinity. Somewhere between
the ring and the altar, my wife had second thoughts and broke off the engagement.

Her decision was grounded in race: So committed to black causes, the daughter of parents subjected to unthinkable prejudice over the years, an “up-and-coming” leader in the
young black community, how could she marry a white man?

Rev. Wright, whom I had met only in passing at the time and who was equally if not more outspoken about “black” issues than he is today, somehow found out about my wife’s decision. He called and asked her to “drop everything” and
meet with him at Trinity. He spent four hours explaining his reaction to her decision.

Racial divisions were unacceptable, he said, no matter how great or prolonged the pain that caused them. God would not want us to assess or make decisions about people based on race. The world could make progress on issues of race only if people were prepared to break down barriers that were much easier to let stand.

Rev. Wright was pretty persuasive; he presided over our wedding a few months later. In the years since, I have watched in utter awe as Wright has overseen and constructed a support system for thousands in need on the South Side
that is far more impressive and effective than any
governmental program possibly could approach. And never in my life have I been welcomed more warmly and sincerely than at Trinity.

Never.

I hope that as a nation, we take advantage of the
opportunity the recent focus on Rev. Wright presents to advance our dialogue on race in a meaningful and unprecedented way. To do so, however, we need to appreciate that passion born of difficulty does not always manifest itself in the kind of words with which we are most comfortble. We also need to recognize that the basic goodness of people like Jeremiah Wright is not always packaged conventionally.

The problems of race confronting us are immense. But if we sensationalize isolated words for political advantage, casting aside the depth of feeling, circumstances and context which inform them, those problems not only will remain immense, they will be insoluble.
