Barack Obama, Jeremiah White And An Open Letter To White People
YOU’VE read Barack Obama’s priest Jeremiah Wright’s conspiracy theory sermon,
now read: Daily Kos: An Open Letter to White People.
Please let an old black man have his anger in the privacy of his church. After 400 years of what has been done to African-Americans, it is the least that we can do. Are our hearts so small and our need for reassurance so great that we cannot allow an old black man who dedicated his life to his community his anger? Are you honestly going to tell me that this is the first time white America has seen and heard from black folks? Have we not heard what Rabbis routinely say about Palestinians across the US? Even our military is told to call Iraqis and Afghanis “ragheads” and “Ali Baba” as a part of their training. Have we not heard what predominantly white churches say about immigrants, African-Americans, LGBTQ communities, and Islam? Jerry Falwell gets a hero’s farewell, as does Reagan, who thought gay people deserved to die of AIDS, but Wright, he must be punished severely and publicly humiliated.
Such is the level of political debate. Racism, Anti-Semitism. White Supremicism. This one’s got the lot…
