The Rev. Jeremiah Wright became a household name during the 2008 presidential campaign. The fiery preacher, who was President Barack Obama’s pastor for two decades, has since retired from his position at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Illinois. However, he’s still an active figure in geopolitical and faith movements, as his bizarre commentaries often offend detractors and inspire intense debate.
Last week, Wright spoke at Metropolitan Baptist Church in Charleston, West Virginia, as part of a week-long revival event. His controversial words took aim at Thomas Jefferson, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, the media and plenty of other targets.
“I’m not divisive, the media is divisive,” he said, going on to lament the soundbites he claims were unfairly used to disparage him during the 2008 campaign.
As could be expected, the three evening sermons he delivered during the revival often turned to themes and subjects much more controversial than alleged media bias.
“Believers beware,” Wright preached in one of his lessons. “There are some conversations you will find yourselves in in which there is no communication taking place.”

I can’t believe how many black people listen to Wright, Sharpton, Jackson, and others of this ilk who use them to better themselves and their lifestyles without ever really helping the black community. Justice Thomas believes in the real God, and the others in their pocketbooks and false gods of prostitution, abortion, etc., etc. Too bad they get the media to listen to them, but that is to be expected as the media is not OUR media but belongs to outsiders who want to bring America down to its knees and in their one world stupidity! We must be strong and vote this prez and every other congressional person we can in November!
Wright is right for once, Thomas is indeed worshiping another God…one that does not see whites or Jews as inherently evil but instead looks into their heart as individuals.
I am just cynical enough to wonder if Jeremiah Wright’s attack on Clarence Thomas is an extension of Obama’s attack on the Supreme Court in order to intimidate the Justices into approving Obamacare.
