Maybe I don't see it the way he intended to portray it because I am white? I don't know but according to him blacks and whites see and hear things differently and must be taught differently. That, first of all, is a call for segregation.



According to Write's logic it is possible that he only appeared to be yelling because you are not black. Maybe black people see it as righteous energy instead of anger.

What is a TRUE CHRISTIAN?

Did he say the BLACK MAN shall rise or WE SHALL RISE.

I also missed that part about he wanted to SEGREGATE.

Ah now we come to ANGER obviously many of you have nNEVER attended a "Black Church" I see.

I missed all the ANGER he was displaying.

I don't know maybe he gave the angry version after the first version that was telecast, God only knows.

We no longer accept white leaders giving speeches fostering hate toward blacks. I really thought that over time, and with races mixing at school when people are young, that racism would continue to decline with each generation.

I listened to most of Wright's speech until he started singing. It seemed OK. I thought it was funny when he talked about Kennedy "pocking the ca". From what I've heard on TV, I changed the channel before it got interesting.

Now, I am not going to put down Louis Farrakhan anymore than Mandela would put down Fidel Castro. Do you remember that Ted Koppel show, where Ted wanted Mandela to put down Castro because Castro was our enemy? And he said, “You don’t tell me who my enemies are. You don’t tell me who my friends are.”
Louis Farrakhan is not my enemy. He did not put me in chains. He did not put me in slavery. And he didn’t make me this color.


I do not understand. He appears to be saying that his enemy made him this color. I know I must be missing something. Who made him this color? And, what's wrong with his color?

It's how the Jesse Jacksons, Al Sharptons, and Rev. Wright's make their money. So if it's ever totally resolved, they are out of a high-paying, easy job. And that is sad, truly sad.
