In Tension with the Quest for Power

In Tension with the Quest for Power

"I can no more disown him [Rev Jeremy Wright] than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother…These people are a part of me."
-Barack Obama, March 2008

    Things sure do change in a couple of months. The applause was deafening for Barack Obama’s speech on race in Philadelphia when he made the above pronouncement. Yet when Rev. Wright says that the critiques of him in the corporate media were truly attacks on the Black church, Wright is lambasted for blurring criticism against him into attacks against others. Does anyone see the hypocrisy here?

    If the road to hell is paved with good intentions, Jeremiah Wright has just been awarded a construction contract. And that’s the best case scenario — in light of his weekend blitz of media appearances there are many doubting that Wright’s intentions were benign. Assuming they were, the reverend’s appearance before the National Press Club highlighted his naive belief that he could redeem his reputation by talking to the same people who were responsible for distorting it.

AFTER THE FALL

Perth Amboy, NJ (BlackNews.com) - We just can’t seem to forget what occurred when we were children, or when the marriage dissolved and when our parents left home. In fact, 34% of women surveyed out of 500 remember a shameful experience from their past according to the Portman Group related to sexual assault and drunkenness. After the Fall (Destiny Image, August, 2007) written by author and pastor, Dr. Donald Hilliard addresses such issues of shame. Dr. Hilliard goes on to say, “We never seem to forget the marks of abuse that remain unseen, ‘when we were molested,’ when we went bankrupt or when our sin was uncovered.”
