‘Barack, I Didn’t Do It for This’: An Homage to Andrew Goodman
I lived through all the rabble rousing speechifying of the 60′s.
I listened to Angela Davis rant at Berzerkley.
In my view, the words and rants of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright fall into perfect sync with the self-serving “black” yellers and screamers of that era.
And the not so good Rev. Wright is mostly about his own megalomania and his ability to whip up the crowd (a form of “power”).
The rhetorical devices he uses are identical to any ranting/speechifying guy with an audience (see A. Hitler)
Jeremiah tosses in the little extra added attraction of James Cone, Black Liberation Theology, The Worm© Louis Farrakhan, the nutcase Ghadafi, and his own barely concealed Nation of Islam fealties.
Unfortunately, there have been few genuine leaders in the movement to eradicate this nation’s legacy of slavery and discrimination. I’ll look to Rosa Parks, maybe MLK
But to me, Wright is as b-o-r-i-n-g as his cronies and brothers in hysteria of the 1960′s.
And Barack Obama in his book makes far too much of “grandma” in Hawaii getting accosted by a “black” panhandler.
And the guys arrested in the slayings of 2 female university students in the south in recent weeks, each girl shot dead in the cold of night, are all black.
So, now, deal with my “racism”.
