Yall remember this? I know it hurts watch all of it though....





Now i dont know about the AIDS thing however.....when considering the rest of this my black people is this really offensive? In my opinion its not. The things Wright speaks about in these small clips is kinda just the way its been in our collective experience so when he says God Damn America i can understand. We eat stuff like this for breakfast. Think about the slurs, the stereotypes, the looks, assumptions, the demonization and fetishization we endure everyday.

I.e.

Fetishizaton (thanks blackademics)

Now black folk some of you guys see these images and may think that im reaching. Well thats exactly what im talking about. We're desensitized to it. Chalk it up to being a minority culture, it hurts but we go on with our day. So we here Jeremiah Wright railing against the establishment
its nothing. However when the mainstream majority culture hears their beloved country being critized its a tough pill to swallow. (pause) Thus the backlash. Its not hate speech its truth, ugly, vulgar but truth.

Now when this whole thing started i honestly was like what the hell. Alot of peeople felt like he was gonna lose the election for Obama. After all this is politics right? The truth will make you lose lol.

Despite the lack of team ball lets stop demonizing Wright. Besides he only said what we were all thinking anyway.

special thanks to Michael Eric Dyson this was his idea im just the messenger.
