For more info: Bill Moyers interviews the Reverend Jeremiah Wright in his first broadcast interview with a journalist since he became embroiled in a controversy for his remarks and his relationship with Barack Obama. Wright, who retired in early 2008 as pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, where Senator Obama is a member, has been at the center of controversy for comments he made during sermons, which surfaced in the press in March.

Rev. Wright tries to get blacks to hate whites by claiming that the government created aids to kill blacks.

Glad that Rev. Wright came to the forefront to get interviewed by a respected analyst. One gets a much better view and understanding of where Rev. Wright is coming from with relation to his beliefs. This man is not the bigot, anti-american that the mainstream media has portrayed him to be. Look forward to the interview being posted in its entirety. Peace.

Hey the government gave small pox infested blankets to the native Americans [FACT] and conducted the Tuskegee Experiments on blacks up to the 1980's [FACT]. Bill Clinton had to apologize for the experiments [FACT]. My point? The idea of HIV being deliberately distributed is NOT THAT FAR FETCHED especially since it all started in the late 70's or early 80's!?!?

You know what? I am white, I am proud to be white, I am a bigot and I cant stand the idea of white women hooking up brothers!

But... Rev. Wright is no racist fanatic!

I even agree with a lot of his comments.

Hello! We did kill Indians... we lined them up and shot them man, woman and child. We tried to exterminate them or march them off to reservations (some would call concentration camps). Hitler was evil? Shit Hitler tried... but he couldnt kill as many Jews as we did Indians...

This is what no one wants to omit. When he said God Damned America. I know exactly what he meant. The Bible says whatever a man soweth so shall he reapeth. Please don't tell me that you are so naive that you don't think that the United States have not killed innocent people in other countries, that we don't have innocent blood in our hands as a nation. That we don't bully smaller countries and when we are thru with them, we throw them back to their enemies. Can to answer..
