    So, criticism of a man who claimed publically that HIV was created by the white government to kill blacks and that the U.S. deserved 9/11--statements ostensibly denounced by Barack Obama--is now called LYNCHING by Obama's NEW pastor?

    I think we're beginning to see what the Trinity United Church of Christ is all about. And it ain't pretty. And Obama seems to be the only one who goes to this church who doesn't share these feelings. :chris:

    It's really gotten tot he point that being called a racist or lynching someone is little more than a conversation stopper. "I can't debate you intelligently or use facts to back up my position, so I'll just say its racism and you'll be guilted into shutting up." All it does is trivialize real racism.

    While far behind Scientology, the Trinity faith is rocking the charts on the religious wacky scale.

    I can see why the term "lynching" was used.

    [SIZE=-1]Harmon Bokai also used the term "virtual lynching" in the Gray Room four months ago to describe a situation at TrekBBS, and no one complained about his use of the term then. [/SIZE]

    Do you think that's what people are doing to Wright, or did you mean it in terms that make the White man look like the victim?

    I've seen my boss "lynch" a couple of reporters and nearly "lynch" one of the other managers there.

    He'd fit right in at Obama's church. :sarek:

    No, I think that it's just part and parcel of the whole culture of victimization. Demand confrontation and when you get it, claim you are being repressed.

    All anyone did was look at Wright, use his own words to expose him as a racist, and then when he got hoised by his own petard, people start claiming it's because he's black. It's an insult to people that are real victims of racism.

    Wright said some of the same things Michael Moore has said about Bush and America. I don't see anyone calling Michael Moore a racist.

    People are calling Wright a racist so they don't have to respond to anything he says.

    I suppose if he wasn't black, the term "e-raped in the ass by media's huge, bone-dry cock" would have been more appropriate.

    That was some good foreshadowing, wasn't it?

    Did it happen in the garamet thread? I heard about it, but I never actually found it.

    Come on now....Moore never blamed 'rich white America' for creating AIDs to kill black people.

    Seriously though, Elwood is 100% right.....if you can't see that Wright is a racist bigot....you never will, and there is no point in further arguing.

    I think it was, but I can't remember where.

    Saying it was in a Garamet thread isn't much help since 1 out of 4 threads these days is about her.

    EDIT - Here it is.

    Yeah! Like how about the Golf Channel anchor who was suspended for saying Tiger Woods' competitors should "lynch" him to keep him from being such a dominant player?

    I sure am glad we've established that LYNCH has no racial implications whatsoever.

    Oh, wait I forgot. It's okay for BLACKS to throw around that word carelessly; it's only a mortal sin when WHITES do it.

    But I put it to Wordforge: is it LYNCHING to criticize a man who is an advisor to potentially the next President of the United States and who says that (1) the "white government" created HIV to kill black people and (2) the U.S. deserved 9/11? Lynching? Really?

    It's only appropriate to "lynch" Wright after his 20 years of being a "runaway." :bergman:

    He's making his assessment from his POV.

    This still is little more than a First Amendment issue to me, first Wright's comments, and now Moss'.

    If you hate Wright for exercising the First Amendment, then do so.

    If you're also going to hold Obama responsible for what he says, that's your right as well.

    There is really not much else going on here, certainly nothing out of the ordinary.

    Fair point. I still can't explain that one. All I found was this from Wikipedia.
    That's pretty shaky, though for what it's worth, Hooper is white.

    Yeah, how dare people criticize you for saying stupid things! That's what happens when you claim people created AIDS to kill blacks with no proof--and when AIDS first cropped up with gay WHITE men and WHITE drug users!

    :bang:

    If one can't believe he's a hate monger, it's sure crystal clear he's VERY ignorant, and Obama should cut his ties last week. :jayzus:

    Well, if you're going to take people to task for claiming things without proof, the list is long, and there are tens of thousands of people more important on it.
