Page 2 of 2 But America has gotten so comfortable with the lies of George W. Bush that the truth is controversial. Although laying out just a few of our government’s transgressions to make his point, Wright was quoting a White Ambassador. However the phrase would come to a head in a technical sense when it was revealed that, in addition to telling the Bush administration what would happen, there was an actual technical term for what happens when 14 of 19 Saudi fighters are trained by fighters trained by the CIA to engage the Soviets in Afghanistan and fly planes into buildings as an attack; Blowback. Hell, if Wright had just said that then the press wouldn’t even mention his speech because Blowback is their term. Sidebar: I will submit that we should remain skeptical of the “press’” ability. 90% percent laid down on the job and helped to usher in this war and reported so badly that Americans still believe that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction. Example: Andrew Malcolm of the LA Times writes a story about a person close to Wright and ardent Clinton supporter maybe engineering this whole thing. That’s ridiculous enough but the main point is he starts off with; “Everybody is talking today about how much the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's latest unrepentant militant remarks hurt his most prominent parishioner, Sen. Barack Obama, and his chances to win the Democratic presidential nomination and the general election. At no time did Wright call for militancy, violence or the use of inhumane action. In fact the sermon was AGAINST rash violence and revenge. See, racism can come with degrees! Still, the press would rather you focus on the fear of Wright’s words rather than on Senator Obama’s policies. BLACK RULE II Right after watching Rev. Wright I sat down and watched Birth of a Nation. It’s a terribly disgusting film about the rancid mythology of “Black Rule” during Reconstruction.
(note: the black man is still a White man in Blackface) And it’s on many 100 best movies of all time lists!!! But dig this… “The White Men were roused by the mere instinct of self preservation …until at last there had sprung into existence a great Ku Klux Klan, a veritable empire of the South, to protect the southern country…” -Woodrow Wilson Yep, President Woodrow Wilson. A filthy sonofabitch. I can call him that because the Ku Klux Klan is a tool of foul intimidation, dehumanization and murder. It has always been a terrorist organization and is part of the tradition that Wright spoke of. This Woodrow Wilson is never taught in school. World War I Woodrow Wilson is taught. League of Nation’s Woodrow Wilson is taught. Even stroked out wife ruling Woodrow Wilson is taught. But never the filthy racist who, as President of Princeton University, turned Blacks away from even applying. Never the Woodrow Wilson who said, “segregation is a gift…” Now I would be vilified for having a “narrow” opinion of a “complete” man who was President in a “different time”. Especially since the Race issue was different. But it wasn’t. Isn’t. Blacks have never had a race issue. We’ve never run any industry that, wholesale, kept Whites out. We’ve never burned down a city just BECAUSE Whites lived there. We’ve never bombed a city from the sky because White folk did business there. We have never gone on a White lynching spree. Nor have we ever enacted laws to displace White people. It is one of the basic insults to Black folk that when we properly describe dehumanizing affects of leaders, we are being radically narrow minded. But it is Whites’ fear of our revenge that precludes many from supporting Senator Obama. Has to be Funny thing is that Senator Obama talked about this very thing back in Pennsylvania. About stoking fear with the threat of removal of traditions. This time, it ain’t guns, jobs or religion…but White Rule. HOMEWORK There’s the task. Can Whites get over their fear of Black Rule mythology to vote on the issues and the truth? That is all Wright is being used for. As a wedge for the issues. Interestingly enough, Senator Clinton could’ve dispelled this whole thing by showing her willingness to stand against the Black Rule fears….except that she was too busy engaged in a kind of bootleg version of it herself. How? By history. The great lie about America is the freedom lie. America has always had a population who has been tread upon as less than. Today Bush and Co. have extended that to almost all of us (how democratic!) moreover America has Apartheid roots. But to promote that we are exactly NOT that, America throws up examples of Great Americans. Dr. King, Muhammad Ali, Malcolm X. But they were all hated and vilified in their day. Until, of course their words proved right and the spirit by which they delivered such words fit American “freedom” propaganda. And of course they either died or became speechless. Thus the challenge for those fenced Whites is whether or not they can finally overcome that fear or will they allow the BrownShirt Right to, once again, set their agenda and marginalize them. Because Rev. Wright spoke so eloquently and because he wrapped it up in the Bible and because he used so many different examples, he will be proved right…and in ten years or so, When the truth of how bad the Bush administration actually was surfaces. When the great Bush depression is over. When President Obama’s healing efforts prove to be a new dawn for American foreign policy. …a computer company using the theme of “an original” will license Wright’s image and place it in an ad with the heading….”It’s good to be Wright”… And that’ll be Wright on time. -brandonbowlin
