Reverend Wright's 'Brainy' Theories on Race

IT PISSES YOU OFF, I WANT TO HEAR IT!
People get it done here!
Rant like a raving maniac!

If it pisses you off, Let it out!

~Here are a just a few of mine~

Honestly, I would love to take credit for writing this great piece, but I cannot. Not only would it be unconscionable regarding theft, luring another into thinking I had written it (though I wish I had!) but what's worse is the notion that the real people who wrote this didn't get the credit they deserve.

I am a real sucker for the American Thinker blog. You know that feeling when you get a 'connectedness' when reading? Just about every writer at the American Thinker does that with me.

So first I thank American Thinker and Rick Moran, who apparently got some, or all of it from Ed Lasky. Please accept my huge hat tip all of you. Here goes!

Before reading this, I want you to imagine that the words are not being uttered by Obama's controversial preacher Jeremiah Wright but by, let's say, Pat Buchanan:

The bulk of his remarks addressed, however, different groups seeing each other as deficient. He acted out the differences between marching bands at predominantly black and predominantly white colleges. "Africans have a different meter, and Africans have a different tonality," he said. Europeans have seven tones, Africans have five. White people clap differently than black people. "Africans and African-Americans are right-brained, subject-oriented in their learning style," he said. "They have a different way of learning." And so on.

After jokingly mocking the Boston accents of former President John F. and Sen. Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., Wright said, "nobody says to a Kennedy, 'You speak bad English,' only to a black child was that said."

To say that there is a double standard at work when it comes to talking about race is made painfully obvious by Wright's words. Made before a gathering of the NAACP, these words would, if uttered by Pat Buchanan, would have set off a firestorm of protest that may have driven Buchanan from public life. Instead, Wright is lionized as a deep thinker - a scholar who is nationally recognized.

This is nuts. It is bilge no matter who says it. And the fact that Wright apparently can't tell the difference between a Boston accent and the incoherence of a language deficient child in the ghetto is stupid beyond belief.

Yes, but Wright is not an issue in the campaign, right?
