So that's that your conclusion? That's the best you can come up with? Please, bro. Spare us.

Of course race is part of the overall issue. No one denies that. But the topic of the thread doesn't need to be hijacked, by you or anyone else. The topic of the thread is that Fox supposedly lied. Fox did not lie, neither did the news media lie in reporting what the man said. A lot of Democrats, and Obama supporters especially like to bash Fox, but Fox is not the problem here. Jeremiah Wright is .

And yes, we can always talk about race relations in general. We know we have a ways to go for things to be where they need to be. However, my response to the original post (the topic at hand) is that 1... Fox didn't lie 2... Rev Wright has made similar and other more outrageous statements 3. its ridiculous to blame Fox for carrying a story that all the major news outlets were carrying.

I guess you realized you weren't able to refute those 3 simple points...
Because you decided to skip over the points I made (and the thread topic) and focus on talking about how "the average white person in this country hasn't even begun to understand the average black person's experience or point of view". That may well be true brother, but as I said before, that is a separate issue.

I guess you simply preferred not to respond to the points I had made regarding the issue . But jumping all over the place and getting into side issues, instead of the central issue, just just further makes it clear that even you realize that the original point of this thread is invalid.

The whole premise of the original point on this thread is logically invalid anyway. I guess you realize that, and that's why you want to complain about racism in general. Fine. Suit yourself then. It seems that those making excuses for Jeremiah Wright will say whatever they can to deflect from the outrageousness of his comments. And even if deep down they know he's wrong, they can always find a way to blame white America. I guess personal accountability doesn't matter any more. At least the defenders of Rev Wright obviously seem to think so.

Fox did what media does; they put out just enough of what he said to make it newsworthy. I have news for you. I heard apostolic preachers preaching that 9/11 was our own fault because of the things we have done overseas. I've gone to churches that were openly racist, with the pastor using the n word over the pulpit because "all his black friends knew he wasn't using it in a derogatory way". I know preachers that won't marry a black man to a white woman. The point I am making is that what this JW has said really isn't any different than so much of what I have already heard coming across apostolic pulpits. Where are the threads slamming those preachers? Where's the outrage over our own preachers doing some of the same things this JW has done? Why is this such a big deal now? Could it be because Barak Obama is a black man running for President and people in this country don't want to admit that they really don't want a black man to be their President, so they are doing anything and everything they can to discredit him?
