Reverend Wright's Rights!


Dale Hill
"Reverend Wright's Rights!"

"Jeremiah, thank your lucky 'color' that you still have a podium from which you speak, because if you were in a 'white' church, kiss your grandstand to the public and media goodbye!"

You see, Jeremiah, I was raised in virtually the same type of church you preached to Obama in.  My kids were all baptized in the same way you baptized hundreds in your stay at Trinity United Church of Christ.  But white preachers in our churches are not held to the high esteem black preachers seem to be. Obama's right to run for office, without interference from his former preacher, should be a fundamental Spiritual right.  It is, ...  in most white churches.  White churches are governed by elders and not by "preachers." Jeremiah, kiss your blessed pigmentation, because once you are dethroned in a white United Church of Christ, it would be very difficult for you to say, "... . I will be a preacher in November and January." And the more you open your mouth, the further your "Reverendhood" will be floated away from you down the stream.  So, ... are you ready for updating your credentials to include the area of Social Work; you see, there are no white United Church of Christ "Texas Rangers."

There is  a fundamental difference between black and white preachers, and right now, Wright is taking advantage of that difference.  

"Jeremiah, how would  you deal with fired?"
