    Most of the brown greases end up in a landfill site; however, some newer facilities along with modern technology are starting to allow the brown grease to be recycled, which is often used as a biofuel. Grease traps are an important part of any water treatment system where fatty oils, sludge and grease is entered into the http://stroitel.webatu.com plumbing system. As the name implies, the grease trap will trap the grease and other oils and separate it from the water. This is designed to ensure the heavier solids are not passing into the city sewer lines and/or clogging your own drains.

    Its people like Bill that sucks up to people like wright. You don't want to try christianity, you want to join the cult or the black panthers. If he is a person that could change you mind, then you are to be pitied. People will eventually see through that traitor, and he will never be elected.

  • jane - 16 years ago

    Wright useswhatever it takes to get his racist bullcrap across. He is absolutely no preacher. Its just the only job he could get to air out his hatred and get paid well for it. He is nothing and not worth the air time he gets on t.v. or anywhere else. His cult followers are no better than than that group in Texas and deserves to be investigated just as much as them. Those idiots that built him his multi-million dollar home and his 10 million dollar credsit card that the crooks have fixed so that he pays no taxes, needs mental help or a prison term. They are crooks and haters and anybody that would want that so-called man to preach their funeral deserves what he and his family members got. The fact that obama has been quietly associated with farrachan. wright, jackson, sharpton and whatever that dorky man that bombed the capital and still running free to run his big mouth's name is, is such a red flag to normal people. People with an I.Q. Let the little teenie-boppers fall for his bull-crap, but PLEASE, anyone who has any common sense, let's get this joker out of the running!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Sorryforbill - 16 years ago

    bill: You truly need the help of the Almighty. Unfortunately Wright is not praying to the same God. I feel sorry for you bill! I bet your an angry, mixed up person, who believes in nothing. I hope the Lord touches your heart before its too late for you.

  • bill - 16 years ago

    I think he only was right to critize FOX; it is past time for this vile propaganda machine to be shut down. I turned my back on christianty years ago, but rev wright makes me want to give it another try. I hope to God O'bama gets elected.

  • Gerry - 16 years ago

    Wrong place wrong time! The reason he talks like that at a funeral is he can't be ask to defend his coments he not only a racist he's a coward.The only good he is doing in this life [hopefuly] is keeping Obama from getting elected to the presidency I don't think this is enough after spreading hate and distrust for thirty years. I've known my pastor for forty two years. I've never heard him even say any thing like that. He's also had a big impact on the way I think and act. If Obama did'nt know his preacher\mentor\uncle\father figure thought like this and it did'nt have any effect either he wasn't there or he's a liar. Thuyen Tran thanks for the history lesson and the reasoned thought. Thanks to who ever is keeping the Dufus watch up.

    Fox News has gotten what it deserves.
    And.... it is running scared - Chicken to Fight Back!

    Anyone knows that if Disagree with something, the best way to bring about Change is not to leave , but to stay and work for Change.
    Too many Americans are too lazy. Its simply easier to changes Jobs, Husbands, Wives, Religions, Churches, Teams, etc. then it is to work to bring about change. Remember, you can only bring about change by staying with the System no matter what it is. Once you are outside of the System, you surrender all of your Power. Noboby in the System will pay any attention to you and your complaints. Learn to Vote for things that matter, such as the Economy. That's why you are so bitter. I am angry that a lot of my Tax Money goes into dredging the Intercoastal Waterway so that the Rich Elite can safely sail their Yachts there!

  • Corrine - 16 years ago

    Lopa From Philly: You may keep Religion and Politics seperate but than you are not doing the will of God. Why not ask the Pope when he arrives here in the USA if he thinks that the Killing of the unborn is justified and see if he agrees with you voting for the person. I already know what that answer will be. You CAN NOT be a true Christian without your "Godly" values entering every single portion of your life. If you think you can, you need to get down on your knees and ask the Lord for guidance. Thats like saying I'll believe in God on Sunday and / or when it suits me. NO NO! Sometimes it just shocks me to hear people declare themselves as "Christian" and live and think just the opposite. Its your life and where you wind up will be up to you. God doesn't want us to hate anyone but he's given us free will and THAT is to do as he states in the Bible! Just check out Proverbs. I don't hate homosexuals but I hate the act. The Bible is very clear on that. Man will not lie with man nor woman with woman. They are allowed to live their lives as they wish. Some Churches even condone now because many of these so called "Churches" are moving away from Biblical Teachings. Just remember, God hasn't changed though and his chastisement will be harsh.

  • Corrine - 16 years ago

    THUYEN TRAN: When it comes to pre-marital sex and / or abortion I think the Lord will judge harshly, ESPECIALLY on abortion. I'm sure there are women out there who have made that choice and are devoutly sorry and thank goodness the Lord forgives. Its those that are not sorry that will not be excused by God. I feel that you can't be a Christian and believe or vote for a person who believes abortion (the killing of a baby) should be legalized. Murder is against what God stands for. I would never ever vote a man or woman into office who believes in the killing of the unborn. I weep for those children. We are forgiven BUT only if we are sorry and ASK for forgiveness. The Lord knows our hearts and like I said will judge harshly for those that have tried to deceive him. We can deceive man but NOT God!

  • Lopa From Philly - 16 years ago

    Dear Greta

    I voted no. I keep religion and politics separate. Rev. Wright is the messenger of God. He did that on purpose, to help Obama achve "Black vote in Philly." We are not "black" therefore we do not understant about Black thelogy of mixing religion and politics. Mr. Hanity and Mr. O'Rileey is a Conservative political man. They trash Hillary Clinton too. I may not be black or white but, I am not stupid. Rev. Wright did switch Mr. Obama's stupit comment in CA. He is bringing the attention to him. I am not stupid.

    I am devout Italion Catholic, liveing in South Phylly and I do not "Get it." Our chrch teach "hate the sin not the sinner." Italions were victims of intolerence too(1940). Discrimination by profiling went on from Italions to blacks and now the Arabs.

    Reason you got higher number of Yes vote because of the Elite Mr. Obama supporters, and 3 million "move on.org." They are powerfull people. They have money.

  • Corrine - 16 years ago

    THUYEN TRAN: This Ricdiablo bases all he states from emotion and not fact. He can't conquer because what you state are truths. He feels this way but unfortunately what he won't admit is that feelings don't = truth! When he comes to a forum to try to get others to agree with him he needs to do research. What he does is calls others names and states we're ignorant because he has nothing else!

  • Corrine - 16 years ago

    RICDIABLO: Funny how we think "your" the ignorant one. I heard Mrs. Obama state from her own lips that this was the first time she was proud of America. I just wonder why. You obviously come from a different generation than some of us. You call it ignorance because we seek the truth because WE believe our vote should mean something. You obviously don't care what that truth is. In my entire life I have never ever been as frightened of a person running for office as I am Obama! This is the highest position in the land. We're ignorant because we don't agree with you! Your a very very sad person! I would bet $100 that your not a person of faith. IF you were, some of what we are trying to explain to you would be ever so clear. Knowing the "Bible" and NOT the so called bible of Wrights and Obama's church either. I would never ever call that man a pastor or minister. You believe what you wish and call us ignorant, but let me tell you something I would rather be called ignorant and believe and take my positions from the Gospel than believe as you do. I feel very very sorry for you!

    Actually those comments in quotes were yours, but I quoted you and responded so the comments I posted at that time was mine. But the post I was responding to was yours. No apologies needed

  • Thuyen Tran - 16 years ago

    "Thuyen, those are not facts, but if you choose to believe all that rubbish, I am not going to stop you. For the record, Michelle Obama did not say that she was ashamed of America, but I on the other hand, AM ASHAMED OF AMERICA."

    Which are not facts?

    And since you want to call them rubbish why don't you try rebutting those you claim to be untrue.

    And Michelle Obama said she has NEVER been proud of this country until her husband ran for president. There goes your own untruth and rubbish.

  • ricdiablo - 16 years ago

    Corrine, I am blown away. I am impressed. Never have I witnessed so much rampant and shameful ignorance in one place. You keep high-fiveing each other when nobody gets it--nobody. Thuyen, those are not facts, but if you choose to believe all that rubbish, I am not going to stop you. For the record, Michelle Obama did not say that she was ashamed of America, but I on the other hand, AM ASHAMED OF AMERICA. But arguing what the framers of the constitution and this country intended and how far we have sunk within a comments post amongst people brainwashed by corporate media is a waste of time. Good Night. Good Luck.

  • Corrine - 16 years ago

    RICDIABLO: Before you declare others "stupid" you better get your facts straight about how much money is spent in PORK and PROGRAMS for those who don't wish to work. Some of the people that call themselves "disabled" are shameful. A lot of the poor should go out and work - ANY work. You talk smart but are governmentally ignorant.

  • Corrine - 16 years ago

    RICDIABLO: Sounds as if your saying that just because we watch Fox news we are in some state of "mystic trance". That we are too stupid to think for ourselves. HOW KIND OF YOU! AND you have the audacity to criticize FOX. Look at yourself and what you b4 going after someone else. ALSO, sounds like the truth bothers you. You are certainly allowed to live in whatever fantasy you wish and believe whatever you want!

    ricdiablo,

    You mean the same white grandmother that Obama threw under the bus in equivocating what she said to him in private with the hateful preachings of a minister done from pulpit for 20 years? You mean the same Obama who associates himself with Communist and extreme Islamic terrorists for years? The same Obama who goes to that church that promote anti-semitic and pro-Hama extreme Islamic terrorist literature? You mean the same Obama whose wife says she is ashamed of America as mean til her husband ran?

    Hardly, weak at all. Obama's church in its original confession says NOTHING about God, Jesus, or Bible. It does say ALOT about ALLEGIANCE to Africa. It has more in common with NOI, than with any real church.

  • Thuyen Tran - 16 years ago

    "READ THUYEN: May I also include that NO MAN or WOMAN of God believes in abortion! Jesus weeps at the children murdered daily by being torn apart. Abortion is NOT a means of birth control. IN Fact true believers do not have sex until marriage. ***********So let me say to all you people praising Wright and Obama AND claiming to be of God. You can't have it both ways. We won't know which button you push at election time but the Lord will."

    I agree alot with you that pre-martial sex is wrong, and abortion is outright murder. I won't go as far as to say those who do it are all unbelievers. Remember believers are sinners, too. Just sinners saved by grace through faith in Christ and being confored daily to likeness of Christ.

  • ricdiablo - 16 years ago

    ...and after that fiscally inaccurate and depressingly ignorant comment, I leave you with your network and "freedom".

  • blood suckers - 16 years ago

    ricdiablo.... So what you are saying is you would rather live in a communist country rather than a capitalistic country. Fine, move to Cuba or Venezuela. I like America just the way it is, with the exception of all the liberal welfare programs for the parasitic scum that is trying to suck the life out of the American tax payer. Every year we spend 1.17 trillion on welfare entitlement programs. That is 3 times of what we have spent on the war since the beginning of it to date. You want to save big bucks? Tell the parasites to take care of them selves and quit sucking like the leaches they are.

  • ricdiablo - 16 years ago

    Are relevant issues ever discussed on Fox "news"? Bringing up Rev. Wright over and over and over in a weak attempt to make a Bi-racial man who was raised by his White grandmother into Malcolm X is beyond absurd. Alas, up is now down. I guess it's too difficult to argue issues when as a network you are pro-torture, pro-subsidizing oil companies with tax money, pro-war and spending with no accountability, pro-illegal spying, and in general, don't actually give a damn about the welfare of your viewers except to keep them voting outside of their own best interest by creating an issue like this for people to argue and debate perpetually, thus forgetting what really matters.

  • Blackcat Prowl - 16 years ago

    The comment {about America} was made a week after the attacks of 9/11 and the sermon was about the killing of innocents.

    He was obviously upset about the attacks and the killing of innocent people, and was certainly in shock, as most, if not all, were.

    The comment was specifically about slavery. A side~note connecting the abuse and killing of innocents. It is a fact: slavery existed and was sanctioned by the government.

    So, if anyone wishes to stand up for government supported slavery, have a go at it. But before people 'spew their bitter hatred' on a man, learn what the context is, and the facts.

  • natalie - 16 years ago

    I feel that Reverand Wright criticizing Bill Oreily and Hannity of Fox News was an extremely in-appropriate thing to do a funeral (and even in general). As a Reverend, you are to preach kindness, love, respect, morals, and values to people, not bitterness, hatred, and voilence. I REALLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND HOW CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES CAN LISTEN TO SUCH A MAN THAT PREACHES BITTERNESS, HATRED, AND ANTI-EUROPEAN COMMENTS AMONG OUR OWN PEOPLE. HE NEEDS TO GET OVER HIMSELF AND FIND IN HIMSELF FORGIVENESS AND LOVE.

    ALSO, AMERICA NEEDS TO WAKE UP. BARACK OBAMA IS NOT TRULY CHRISTIAN IF HE IS A PART OF A CHURCH THAT PREACHES ANTI-EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN VIEWS!

  • Joe P - 16 years ago

    Thank you Michael and Tenita.

  • Blackcat Prowl - 16 years ago

    He said 'God damn an America that treats people as less than human'.

    Which is significantly different than the politically motivated abbreviated version generally reported.

    Interesting that people so selectively choose who and what to defend, attacking homosexual love but defending human slavery. Attacking a person who talks about issues relevant to people in the same situations, but lets others who damn America for other perceived slights get a free pass.

    Hypocritical statements and sadly unaware of the facts, a sad reflection on the state of America, the political scene, and the depth at which the People converse on subjects, as well as a media that is woefully inadequate.

  • Edward - 16 years ago

    Men of Rev. (so called) Wright's ilk think they have the right to address anything they deem necessary at any functions of their church(?), including funerals. I would not wait five minutes to leave any regligious meeting place if I heard a pastor make the sort of comments he made. It shows that the black liberals and the radical left believe they have the right to say what they think and to dress it up as religious fervor. Thousands of blacks are being brainwashed by Wright and his cohorts and millions have been brainwashed by Obama. Obama cannot be elected as President. That way lies madness. He will be a worse president than Jimmy Carter. I believe that Obama believes in the far left liberal policies of George Soros from whom he has received financing through moveon.org and other rabid liberal websites. Fox news should an investigation of where the actual money comes from for Obama's campaign. He's worse than the Clintons.

  • Tenita Pardue - 16 years ago

    How can I possibly make a decision and you show half a minute of the sermon. I have never met a perfect pastor, minister, or nun. I wouldn't call anyone stupid, yet I understand the frustration of being taken out of context. To believe in God is to believe in the entirety of God. This man is in the position he is in because it is God's will. Obviously the media, has chosen to attack his character, in which I understand this is apart of American culture. So yes I said it America is not perfect, am I anti-American, or just honest.

    Mr.Wright,toltally has no clue about the love of God.Soto address him as reverand Ipersonally feel is like spitting in Gods face.I am in no way a prejudice person I have two mixed children and was happly married to a black man for 8years.And,Mr.Wright is displaying the worst kind of racism that I have seen in my life.( 35yrs.old) past the racism to stand in a pullpit and totally disrespect the love of God .How really sad that is.The bible speaks of false profits WOW HOW THIS ONE STANDS OUT.I personally have a problem with anyone that can listen to this man and amen him?For the love of God and this country that God himself created with his own hands.How can an individual vote a president into office that openly admits that he has sat under such hated teaching for twenty years.As for me and my family we will continue to pray forMr.Wright and his followers.And I challenge the people of this country to do the same.

  • Joe P - 16 years ago

    Hello Everyone,

    For those of you who thinks it was inappropriate, you did not even hear the entire eulogy. All the man said about Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity, was they did not understand how you can love someone who does not believe what you believe. What is hateful about that?

    P.S. How long was the eulogy? Out of all of you, who was there? Who even heard the entire eulogy?

    P.S.S. Some people can be so ignorant sometimes.

  • sam - 16 years ago

    If that man is a preacher, nobody has anything to worry about when it comes to making it to heaven. First of all, a preacher doesnt get up and put other people down just like he does the white people. What kind of an idiot would get up and talk about fox news at at somebody's funeral. Shouldnt the guy have been trying to comfort the family members of the deceased. That guy is a poor excuse for a minister in my book.

    If Obama were a person of the streets, I could see where he is speaking from- But he is a product of the elite- which means he is not speaks not from the heart, but from the brain. and HE IS A DANGEROUS PRODUCT!

    To believe that an individual dwh 's life-style has een ripped away from then and not knowing where the next pay-check is coming from to py the mortgage on their homes because their jobs have been our sources is nieve. Anyone who b elieves that they are not better is out of touch with the reality of what a sisut=ation like that soes tothe muman sirit.

    During past wars the economy in industrial states like Penn and mitchigan would be booming. Do politicians and the meia think that we working people all are incapable of thinkiong for ourselves. We know that NAFTA and other government policies made in Washinton ith the lobbist is what has cost most hard wworking merican peole theiir middle-income j0bs. This does leave ne with a BITTER taste in ones craw.

    People in the ghetto are depressed and resort to their gangsta ways and drugs!!

    I believe if a white man candidate made similiar comments, he would be forced out of the race. Why not hold the same standars with barack HUSEIN obama.

    He will be the most hated President in U.S. history if elected.

  • Dakota - 16 years ago

    Ok, YO; Barack Obamas gonna win rather you racicist white people like it or not. It's Obamas nation and we're taking the White House. However, it's funny to me how many white people are voting for him after what he's said and been related to over the past weeks!! It's hillarious!!

  • Mary - 16 years ago

    I havve admired yo for years for your sense of fareness and balance. However on this Jerehiah Wright sistuation you continue to speak on the thorty second soundbite taken oout of context.

    Will you have Dr. Wright on your show?

    O'Riley had a white preist on his show who says that Dr. Wright is not racist. This has ben aired only once by ill, but everyone jumped on that thirty seciond sound bite taken out of context. I heard Dr. Wright use the expression' rich white men'. and 'white racism'. Not alll white men are rich and not all white people re racisst.

    I an sure thast there are people like me who know that Obama can not believe that most white people re racist. If he beieved this, how did he dxpeect to become president?

  • The King - 16 years ago

    I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT SENATOR OBAMA HAS SAT IN HIS CHURCH FOR 20 YEARS AND NEVER HEARD REVEREEND WRIGHT PREACH HATRED AS HE DID AT HIS LAST SERMON. WHY DID HE REMAIN WITH THAT CHURCH?

    WHAT IS IT ABOUT HIS ASSOCIATION WITH A GANGSTER AND OTHER QUESTIONALBE CHARACTERSZ?

    HE AND HJILARY THINK THEY ARE THE CREAM OF THE CROP, THE BEST THAT AMERICA HAS TO OFFER. IT IS SORRIFUL THAT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY COULD NOT SPONSOR BETTER CANDIDATES, ONJES WITHOUT YARNS TO RELATE THAT ARE UNTRUE, OF BACK STABBING, ETC.

    THE DEMOCRATS WILL NOT MAKE IT TO THE WHITEHOUSE THANKS TO REVEREND WRIGHT AND HILLARY NOT DUCKING ALL THAT SNIPER FIRE.
    JOHN MCCAIN WILL BE OUR NEXT COMMANDER IN CHIEF AND IT WILL BE AMERICA'S WAY OF SAYING THANKS TO OUR MILITARY WHO GO THROUGH SO MANY DISCOMFORTS, HAZARDS, LIFE THREATENING INSTANCES FOR US.

    FOR THOSE THAT KEEP SAYING PRESIDENT BUSH "LIED": TO AMERICA - I SAY PROVE IT. ALL INTERNATIONAL INTELLIGENCE INDICATED SADDAM HAD WMDS. READ BOOK TITLED, "SADDAM'S SECRETS" BY AN EX IRAQI AF GENERAL. HE VALIDATES THAT WMDS WERE TAKEN TO SYRIA JUST BEFORE OUR TROOPS LANDED. THE PRESIDENT ACTED ON THE BEST AVAILABLE INFORMAIION AVAILABLE AND TO NOT DONE SO WOULD HAVE BEEN PLACING OUR CITIZENS IN EVENTUJAL JEOPRARDY.

  • anita d. cruz - 16 years ago

    i think that's a normal way rev.wright preaches w/ hate and revival of hatred and slavery during the black era when these black people were taken from african country and loaded to the ship against their wills,and worked as a slave here in america,and i think its their resentment they will remember for the rests of their lives even tho' they are living elite ways now. i just wonder how a rev. can speak all the time like that w/ hate,hatred,hatefulness and sharing that to his black audience! why? why he wants to torture the brains of those audiences? he thinks his making them feel good everytime he spoke hate inside the church to these people and seems like it coz those folks were applauding so hysterically! is that kinda brainwashing technique reminding those folks about how they were treated and make them feel hateful too? and like obama, he also likes hearing rev wright speak like that w/ hate, like he's doing to fox news hosts, like hannity, o'reilly? for a rev. who preachers inside the church, i dont think thats right venue for him to do some cursing, he's in the wrong venue, he has to preach out there in the bundoks, streets, church is not the right place for him to spew hatred, instead, he shld be praying to those people who's doing things he doesnt like for them to change , for the sake of humanity, and not cursing all the time because someone's talking on ur back. he shld be praying to those lost souls if he thinks so.
    for barack obama and the rests of rev wright's followers, they think, wright is right,so he's (obama) praising wright, and obama saying before that medias taking snifits of wright's speech to sound it bad. the speech u can listen from the very start,middle and end remain same message, its hate to america/ans.
    cnn has a show last sunday from messiah college, "compassionate forum" 1st part hillary and 2nd part obama (separate time slot) but u can tell fr the audience is all obama's supporters from different clans of ministries, its like extension of wright's trinity united church, u can tell fr the audience. is that a church? or cult? i remember the one in waco, tx, its brainwashing, and u cant hate the rev. coz ur brainwashed already, u will just keep on defending the rev.. just like the one in waco,tx they ( the followers ) died w/ him,during the fbi raid . and the same w/ jim jones, his followers cant say something bad about him even he drugged those folks,sexual abuse? and then drank punch laced w/ cyanide. and o'reilly showed in his show 1 catholic priest -an activist and he said he likes rev wright, oh well, birds of the same feathers!, and he preaches like rev.j. wright too. and i think anywhere wright will go, he will be talking w/ hate, its implanted in his soul and brain.

  • Wendell Welling - 16 years ago

    Reverend Wright was asked to eulogize a colleague at what is supposed to be a dedicatory service aimed at honoring a deceased friend. If he had taken this opportunity to lay out his personal laundry list of grievances regarding his tax status we would automatically know this was inappropriate. There the man is, lying in his coffin and his loved ones have to hear this narcicist use his death as a high-profile retribution forum. This shows a lack of personal discipline and respect for his friend. It lies outside the boundaries of propriety or good taste, but well inside the scope of vindictiveness.

  • lisa - 16 years ago

    What do we expect out of a born radical MOSLEM ? Rev Jeremiah Wright converted Barack Hussein Obama jr to Christianity, NOT for the GOD'S LOVE AND TRUST it is for one purpose only and that purpose is to become a politician in THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. He intend to accomplish his agenda quickly and forcefully even by corruption to reach THE HIGHEST POSITION IN THE WORLD - COMMANDER IN CHIEF FOR THE U.S.A - GIVE HIM THE WHITE HOUSE - NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES! He is NOT Patriotic, not 100% Pure American, his mother born in Wichita, Kansas, his Moslem father from Kenya never married the Mom, never become a Legal Resident or U.S. Citizen. The second father Moslem from Indonisia Not a Legal resident or U.S Citizen. Moslem religion permits Polygamy so he has several mothers with one father, and several step mothers with the second Moslem father. THIS CANDIDATE NEEDS TO GET OUT OF THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE NOWWW!!

  • smalltownusa - 16 years ago

    Was this approriate at a funeral? For heaven's sake, is it less acceptable at a funeral than from the pulpit on a Sunday morning? This irreverant person is so infested with hatred and his own agenda that the platform he uses is just his next opportunity. I was under the impression that a man of God was supposed to be bold in his proclamation of the gospel and yet humble of heart. Somehow Mr. Wright missed the boat. He is a sad figure indeed.

  • jERRY kING Weston, CMsgt, USaf (Retired) - 16 years ago

    HAS ANYONE EVER THOUGHT OF GETTING THE REVEREND WRIGHT EVALUATED? HE APPEARS TO BE A M ENTAL CASE WHO IS PERCEIVED TO BE VERY BIASED, AND FOR SOME REASON, HATES THE WHTIE RACE. HE EVIDENTLY DOES N OT REALIZE THAT THE SLAVE TRADE WAS ONGOING IN AFRICA WHEN ONE TRIBE WOULD INVADE ANOTHER AND TAKE PEOPLE AS SLAVES THEN REALIZED IT WAS PROFITABLE TO GET RID OF THEIR PRIZES.

    IF ONE WAS TO WATCH HIS ANTICS IN THE CHURCH, THEY WOULD REALIZE THAT HE IS GRAND STANDING, (IS HE ATTEMPTING TO ECOME THE LEADER OF THE BLACKS?) HAS HE TAUGHT HATE, DISTRUST IN HIS CHURCH ALL THESE YEARS:?

    WATCH THE VIDEO OF HIS SERMON WHERE HE GOD DAMNED AMERICA. WATCH THE MEMBERS OF THE CONGREGATION PATTING HIM ONT HE BBACK, WHILE OTHER STAND AND CLAP AND GIVE INDICATIONS OF SUPPORTING ALL THE HATRED REMARKS THE PREACHER WAS MAKING;.

    I HOPE THE BLACK CHURCHES ARE NOT TEACHING HATRED, BUT THE GOSPEL AS IT SHOULD BE.

    RATHER THAN HELP HIS RACE, THE REVEREND WRIGHT HAS RUNED THE OPPORTUNITY FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY TO REALIZE A BLACK PRESIDENT (OBAMA).

    HE WAS OUT OF LINE AT THE FUNERAL, BUT WHO KNOWS = WAS HE TOLD TO MAKE HIS ATTACKS? HE SHOULD LOSE HIS LICENSE TO PREACH AFTER USING A FUNERAL TO GRAND STAND AND INSULT NEWS MEDIA, AS WELL AS FOR FOSTERING HATE RATHER THAN BROTHERHOOD IN HIS PREACHINGS..

  • Robin - 16 years ago

    Marc, many many americans black and white have fought and died for this country. Some with ideas like Wrights and many with the ideas of a Christian. Bridging the racial divide is a two way street and will never be bridged with words like Wrights. If you step outside of your politics or your race or whatever seems to boxing you in, you will hopefully be able to give the courtesy of tolerance to others that those such as Wright demand. I must live in sheltered world because I have never experienced or witnessed the racism that is bitterly preached by Wright and Obama. The people I love the most in this world come from all races. It is time for the Obamas and the Wrights of this world to put aside the past and learn to love, help and trust those of all races. Jesus' message was to preach the word to all the world. That message is the same for all, not a different message for one race over another. I have closely examined many of Wrights sermons over the past 30 years and his message is not the message of the bible. The love he incourages is not aimed at all, it is aimed at blacks promoting distrust, and seperation from white america. Until we disolve segerated sects such as the black caucus, black beauty pagents, black colleges that promote black superiorty over whites, etc. etc. etc. we will never over come racism. Racism is a human trate not a white man trate. For one moment step into anothers shoes just as you ask others to do and I guarantee your heart will be changed. These comments like Obamas and Wrights will not affect you and you will be able to look beyond race.

  • rmc - 16 years ago

    Huge dufus what's your point. Somehow it escapes us. The people we hang around with do influence our lives. Duh!!! After 20 yrs of listening to my minister, my life is bound to be shaped to some degree. Same goes for Obama, therefore, it is relevant. He doesn't denounce him because he agrees with him in every point.
    Hazel, if any of us do not agree with our Minister's, it'll never be due to such racists remarks and such hatred of the whites. I'm not even white and it's insulting to me to hear this heretic every time he opens his mouth. And if I disagreed with my ministerm, I would be out of there in a jiffy. I don't know why he's called a reverend. He doesn't preach anything but hateful politics. That would not be my purpose for attending church. Church is all about worshipping God and being in His presence. How could anyone be edified with such trash. If I came out of Wright's church after such a message, I would be wired up with so much hatred towards the whites, that the first white person I would come across on the road, I would be ready to bite, kick, smack and spit at. Amazing!

  • steve in hooterville - 16 years ago

    Hey Hazel,I'd vote for George 1ooo times before your demo. candidates. I can only hope some demo.'s aren't ignorrant enough to vote to help their bam\nk accnt.'s over the country's welfare!

  • Winnie - 16 years ago

    I can no longer give Rev. Wright the benefit of a doubt. The guy has a serious problem-----primarily consisting of hatred and anger which leads to enemies and destruction of all human values. He is supposed to represents Jesus--who preached love and forgiveness. It is so contradictory of the Christian faith it makes me wonder if he is a false prophet. If so, that would keep me from voting for Obama as he calls Wright his uncle/mentor.

  • Sylvia - 16 years ago

    GO FOX!! Rev. Wright is Wrong again.

  • Tired Of It - 16 years ago

    BRAD: You are absolutely correct. If your kids were Black they'd be receiving all kinds of help. Those of us who work, pay our bills, don't break the law, etc. are penalized and taxed for those who don't. They have lots of kids out of wedlock and we pay for it all! Than they blame White Americans. I didn't go to a fancy school BUT I STAYED IN SCHOOL. I didn't take drugs and have a million kids. You don't need a fancy building, swimming pools and massive sporting events to get good grades!

  • Alvin - 16 years ago

    C A Richards you got it right!!!!

  • June - 16 years ago

    Wright, in a position of authority must surely understand that he will be held accountable by God for all the offenses , words, that leave his mouth and enter the world. I question his ability to perform in the capacity of pastor, or christian leader. It was most in appropriate to use a funeral to project his personal views against anyone.

  • Alvin Gore - 16 years ago

    Newcrusader you are way off base comparing Falwell and Robinsons statements with Rev. Wright's. They were saying God has had mercy on America and kept His hand of protection on us for over 200 years and maybe because of our lack of honor and obedience to him he is removing that protection. They certainly were not asking God to damn America. Newcrusader I don't quite understand your crusade. Maybe you like the crusade to kill more unborn babies or some of the other far left ideas I hear from the media like CNN. Get it right!!!!!

  • Wright Is NOT a Man of GOD - 16 years ago

    KENNY-V-O-HI-O: Your not interpreting his statement about angry America. Obama thinks he's speaking in CA privately. Lots of left wing stuff in the beautiful state of CA. Obama feels that because rural people lose their jobs they turn to guns and religion? What a condescending statement. Than his campaign people come out with about 6 different versions. He didn't mean it, its been twisted, he does mean it!!!! WHAT! He's caught. I live in rural USA. I turn to my faith because I believe in GOD and for no other reason. I own a gun. Must be because I'm bitter and angry. Don't try to put the Obama twist and spin on the Kenny. So many of us wouldn't be upset and hurt by his comments if we didn't read him the same way. We are all sinners but the Lord has given us free will. That free will has repercussions. The Lord wishes us to see through the filth and grime; hopefully we'll not vote for anyone who believes that the killing of babys is ok; hopefully the men at the pulpit are not false preachers BUT so many who are NOT true believers won't care about these things. He gives us directions but most today choose not to take heed. Wright is a false prophet and Obama is a follower. Because Obama is running for President IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE TO MANY OF US. The Lord gave us minds to think, but I sure wonder what he sees when he looks down at whats going on down here. There will be war until the end of time and he takes us home. The good, the bad and the ugly. All rolled into one.

  • Jeremy D. Georgia - 16 years ago

    what a PINHEAD. Just Truly believable at this point actually.. Keep it up Rev. Wrong Im pulling for you to be a total destruction in Obama's Quest for the WHITE house. From a SMALL TOWN FRIEND WHO IS STICKING TO MY GUNS.. LOL

  • Phil Nickerson - 16 years ago

    Rev. Wright should be arrested for hate crimes as you know a white Pastor would be arrested if he were to spew the same topic about blacks in America like Wright does about the so-called white America.

    Just forget all about the democrats this election and concentrate only on the most viable candidate Sen. John McCain!

    Support and be the messenger for the Republican party and John McCain our next leader!- http://www.cafepress.com/nickersonstores/5265226

  • Regina - 16 years ago

    So what else do you expect from him! He's only interested in getting attention, any way he can get it! I really don't know the entire story, as to this unfortunate family that he made a mockery of their loved ones own funeral. How sad, he has no respect for anyone, even the dead! But this is Obama's Uncle! like Uncle like nephew!......scary.

  • Frank Verdi - 16 years ago

    Reverend Wright is a disgrace/lowlife/joke.

    Obama thinks he can dismiss this association as unimportant, which is another example of his contempt for the American populace as a whole - Who does Obama think he is fooling.

    If the rest of The Media addressed his behavior instead of whitewashing it, he would be the one resigning his bid for his party's nomination.

  • Beverly - 16 years ago

    Rev Wright is a closet self loather. He's whiter than many people I know but is teeming with hatred for them. I suggest he keeps up his rantings...every time he does he reopens the Obama connection and casts doubts on Obamas
    lack of ability to make correct decisions. And to rant like that at a funeral?
    What an arrogant ass.

  • Patsy - 16 years ago

    Obama needs to tell Wright, "Just leave my name out of your conversations".

  • CA Richard - 16 years ago

    The PC media in this country love the antics of the angry majority-hating minorities. Even when guys like the not-so-reverential Jackson rip off his donors and the minorities he claims to advocate.

    It's not new - it's just that now we have more options than 3 networks! Long live free enterprise in news coverage!

    And may Wright et. al. finally get their due (whatever that is)!
