<< This is a very odd interpretation of what Wright is quoted as saying in
his sermons. Granted, because of the long horrible history of racism in the
USA, proportionately more govt decision makers are white than black or some
other hue--but are you really claiming that to denounce actions of US
governments or corporations is an attack on *Caucasians*? If so, you might
be right, but I imagine black military, political and corporate leaders
would be angered to hear that their decisions and contributions are
obliterated in this way. >>
Damian this was one of the video links I posted. In it he is clearly
telling the parishioners that it is rich white Americans who are controlling
the country and the culture. He equates the blacks to Jesus and the whites
to the rich white Romans who controlled Jesus's country. He goes on to
state that Obama knows what it's like to live in a country ruled by rich
white people. He then goes on to state that Hillary has not had to work
twice as hard to get a passing grade like blacks do. And then he states that
is glad that god knows what is like to be a poor black man living in a
country and culture ruled by rich white people. He then goes on to say that
Jesus has taught him to love his enemies. So since he's only talking about
blacks and rich white people guess who the enemies are that he is talking
about.

So in Summary
Black = Jesus = Poor = Good
White = Romans = Rich = Enemies = Bad
I listened to this a couple of times and don't see any other way of
interpreting this.
I personally think he is purposely implying that blacks are powerless in the
world today and only by electing Jesus (Obama) will they ever have any power
over the evil Romans (Rich White Americans).
