And fought in every war
Michelle Obama on the power of working class black men. You have so much to offer.

Not familiar with what she said so I won't get in the middle of your beef with her as I also didn't care for the way that they handled the Jeremiah Wright situation but Jeremiah is not, nor has ever been "working class". He grew up solidly "bourgeoisie" and he built his Chicago church to embody bourgeois values and ideas in every sense of the word. People get confused because he's militant. No, he just comes from the militant faction of the bourgeoisie. But working class, he was not.
Also, although I didn't like the way the Obama's divested of Wright, Wright's hands are not innocent either. He was out there clout chasing and should've had the awareness to sit down and keep his mouth shut.

I have people who worked for Rev Wright. The idea that the pew from which the Obamas sat at for over a decade was suddenly “clout chasing” in a speech for calling out America’s character was him being in character in speaking about America’s injustices towards Black people.
Thats bullshyt you posting. I can post sermons prior to the speech that was right wing slanted to malign him.
Gatdayum shame you would take a sliver of that speech and buy into some fox news slant.
Only a clown will think this is clout chasing. As if there’s “clout” or benefits for calling these racists racist.
Dems getting this desperate 
. She never said this when she was first lady. Now they see a trend, especially after that black voters were a low point in the midterms, the pandering starts. #tangibles are the only solution not sweet talk.
BTW,
@ people who thought Tariq Nasheed, Jason Black, and Prof Black Truth weren't having an impact nationally when it came to the no tangibles/no vote message

The fact Michelle Obama took the time to, ten years later, still paint Rev. Jeremiah Wright (and subsequently, liberation theology) as "inappropriate fits of rage and resentment for white America."
In the same America that literally elected a woman who told us she would enthusiastically attend a lynching if invited. The America that's gassing folks at border points. The America that's detaining immigrants while selling their children wholesale into adoption. The America that cheerfully and willingly elected virulently hostile racists, sexists, transphobes, homophobes, and ableists in its modern "post-racial" period.
But sure, Michelle. In her words, "Our country's distortions about race could be two-sided" and "the suspicion and stereotyping [runs] both ways."
Yall can keep her

I'm not talking about this sermon. This was only a small part of the situation. But obviously you're not aware of the whole situation. I said I didn't like how the Obama's divested of Wright, part of which encompassed how they didn't stick up for him when this video was released knowing his heart and dedication to the black community. But again, this was only part of it, and not the whole situation, and like I said Wright isn't innocent. And when I say this, this has nothing to do with anything he preached, I'm talking about he's not innocent in the handling of his relationship with the Obama's.
That was inspiring. Barack won

Show me the guilt on his part. What are you hiding? They sat there for years and never had a problem only finding one when Obama sought the presidency. Show me the wrong in Reverend right. I’m all ears.
This whole “he’s not all innocent “thing with no evidence is just soft core name-calling at this point

Because they were smart enough to know I was joking.I think you might have the 3rd most daps in this thread.
And you're on the opposite side of most of the people in the thread.
Don't mind me. Just pointing it out for the next time someone compares thecoli to st0rmfr0nt or lipstick alley.

Breh, just in the few interactions I've had with you, your emotions are slanting your perspective arriving you to the wrong conclusion. I took issue with really one thing you said, which was an incorrect character assessment of Wright, whose church was long known to be the bourgeois safe haven of Chicago's black elite, that was decidedly so by Wright himself, but I'mma let you cook.

I am not interested in your assessment of me. Your inability point out the “he’s not innocent “is just you talking for the sake of talking.
Social media is full of baseless commenters who in their inability to back their points pivot to ad hominem responses.
Wack and expected

Hope it's not too personal, but do you not want to be married? Seems like you have a lot of love to give.
Agree ...

No it's to point out that you don't know what the fukk you talking about. See the above.
Your hatred, animosity, or whatever the fukk it is allowed you to be deceptive in characterizing Wright so that you can shyt on Michelle. You're a liar.
That's why it doesn't matter what I say which is why I'm not saying shyt.
You opened your eyes to what the Obama's did when the video came out but closed your eyes to what Rev. Wright did in the aftermath which amounted to an active attempt to destroy Obama's candidacy in spite. Unforgivable.
You're a deceptive piece of shyt, it doesn't matter what anybody puts forth, you have an agenda.
