But unlike the black community, the Italians and Italian Americans which includes myself and my family, won't be marching on the church tomorrow or crying endlessly to the media who wouldn't give a damn anyways in all likelihood, demanding an apology or some other ridiculous over-reaction to the fact that the Reverend Wright is an obvious racist which is nothing new.
And, I'm sure Barack Obama will come up with some self serving and empty statement tomorrow distancing himself not from the reverend but from the nasty anti American and Caucasian comments he so easily frequently spills day in and day out in his little house of worship here in Chicago that the media pays attention to only when absolutely necessary in order to save Obama the nomination they so dearly want to anoint him with as they did John McCain.
They did a great job hiding the nitty gritty of the Wright Obama affiliation that is more father and son than anything else, but only true news junkies like bloggers and their readers know the real truth about Obama's black power associations and his true colors that the media knows would cost him the election once or in this case if they ever become common knowledge among the masses.
Obama's Pastor Slurs Italians in Latest Magazine

March 26, 2008(CNSNews.com) - Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr., pastor emeritus of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago where Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) has been a member for two decades, slurred Italians in a piece published in the most recent issue of Trumpet Newsmagazine.
Rev. Jeremiah Wright writes of Jesus' enemies: "(Jesus') enemies had their opinion about Him," Wright wrote in a eulogy of the late scholar Asa Hilliard in the November/December 2007 issue. "The Italians for the most part looked down their garlic noses at the Galileans."
Wright continued, "From the circumstances surrounding Jesus' birth (in a barn in a township that was under the Apartheid Roman government that said his daddy had to be in), up to and including the circumstances surrounding Jesus' death on a cross, a Roman cross, public lynching Italian style. ...
"He refused to be defined by others and Dr. Asa Hilliard also refused to be defined by others. The government runs everything from the White House to the schoolhouse, from the Capitol to the Klan, white supremacy is clearly in charge, but Asa, like Jesus, refused to be defined by an oppressive government because Asa got his identity from an Omnipotent God."
Every issue of the magazine published last year included Wright's column, "The Message," in which he covered a range of subjects, including his views on other African-American churches as expressed in his April 2007 commentary "Facing the Rising Sun."
"In a world that is controlled by white supremacy, in a country that is on its way to hell in a hand basket because of lying politicians, in a culture that still thinks 'white is right' and with young people who do not have a clue as to our story, our history, our legacy or our destiny, we still have African-American Christians who are more concerned about 'bling bling' than about freeing our minds," Wright wrote.
In a nationally broadcast speech on March 18, Obama distanced himself from Wright by saying he "condemned, in unequivocal terms, the statements of Reverend Wright that have caused such controversy." But Obama also said, "I could no more disown him than I could disown the black community."
According to his federal income tax return for 2006, Obama gave the Trinity United church that year $22,500 in contributions.
