[T]he minister [Wright] got a rousing standing ovation at Sunday night's Detroit NAACP Fight For Freedom Fund Dinner before a crowd of nearly 10,000.At a "Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner, no less. Freedom from what, I wonder. Killer underclass attitudes toward marriage, work and education?
Or "freedom" from the white man?
If it's the latter, then it's clear that those blacks -- apparently mainstream blacks if their membership in the "mainstream" NAACP is the main clue – have no concept of what freedom is about. How are they not free and what country is it in the world where we can see what real freedom for black people looks like?
Wright is "a great champion of freedom," said the Rev. Kenneth Flowers of Greater New Mount Moriah Baptist Missionary Church and the head of the local NAACP's religious affairs council.Condemning America as a terrorist country and calling for God to curse America makes Wright a "great champion of freedom" and is what a black preacher has to do to please God?
Flowers compared Wright to biblical prophets and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. as a man "who's not trying to please the establishment, but to please our God."
Got it. Message received.
It's disgusting – the substance of the Wright comments, his greasy adulation for Farrakhan, Obama's ardent embrace of him and subsequent shucking and jiving after his moral disgrace is exposed, this open support for demagoguery and ignorance from a supposedly mainstream black organization, and the utter silence from black churches and the black community in general.
How could it be clearer. Vast numbers of blacks view that hand that was generously extended to them by white America with contempt and hatred. Far from wanting to take the freedom and opportunity they enjoy here, vast numbers of blacks appear to be stuck on race hatred, illogical resentment, and corrosive, self-defeating ideas. White people are not brothers and sisters. They are "the Establishment" to be opposed, ridiculed, and gotten around and over.
And they hate America. Nothing about America is decent or worth celebrating. No historical fact or contemporary comparison can dispel the conclusion that America has been fundamentally, structurally flawed from the day of its defective birth to the present day.
Obama claims to be one to unite Americans. Where are the speeches that demonstrate his ability to do so or his unique, superior vision? Answer: he has no ability to do so and he has no more insight that Sharpton or Jackson. He's just got a slicker delivery.
I'm done. I will no longer give the benefit of the doubt to black allegiance, values, goals, or opinions. Except for black veterans and their families and some noteworthy but very exceptional individuals, every single black claim to appreciation of or support for this country will have to be made clearly, unequivocally, and convincingly before I will ever again assume that blacks intend to live side by side with whites.
That 10,000-man standing ovation in Detroit tells me I've every right to do so.

Wright is an Uncle Tom Clinton lover and does what many blacks know how to do, bring down their own kind. He loves the Clintons since they fit the image blacks see themselves as. Collar greens, corn bread and fried chicken and everytime they see another brother rise they have to bring him down. Blacks need racism to justify their economic and social failures, failures they bring to themselves. Like 2pac Shakur said, its my own kind doing all the killing here.
It also is the hatred and envy that dominates black life that Wright represents. Blacks leaders always hated Obama because he rose in this nation while they lag behind preying on themselves.
The hell with that Uncle Tom acting like he is some militant. He ain’t nothing but a player hater.
Everywhere in this world their is oppression but many blacks can’t go on because they can’t fight the demons in them. The demon that make them rob each other, hate each other and abandon their own kids. The demons that makes them envy those among them who shine.
