As a white American,I believe that Rev Wright was speaking the truth,and was not schocked at all,As harsh as it was,it was still true,and they say the truth hurts
Here years later to revisit the topic but Jeremiah Wright was 100% right back then and 110% right to this day.
I listened to rev Jeremiah Wright's sermon and I see where he's coming from. He was basically talking about the injustices in America. Free speech.
.....and Germans listened to Hitler and they saw where he was "coming from"........
I havn't heard this man say one thing wrong..
Jeremiah Wright speaks truth from the depth of pain in the African American experience. As a white guy attending services at Trinity in 2000 I understood that and had no problems at all sitting there laughing with, crying, reflecting, offering and most of all singing. It was the best church experience I ever had.
It is true that persons of mainstream and regional cultures act and talk out of ignorance and arrogance. We were raised in love, but arrogant and ignorant of truth around us and in us. Education, travel and reading have been the tools of Christ that have broken me out. Now I am free to feel and see and breathe the deep drafts of reality. It was worth losing my roots in order to find them in another place.
Rev. Wright is for me a memory...a rest stop on my journey...a brother in struggle.
+OHexpat12 you are a stupid fucker
I was raised in TUCC... Rev Wright did my moms wedding, my uncle's wedding and funeral R.I.P. my grandma and granpa's funeral. The church was on Wallace first then moved to Eggleston.
I like this guy he gets to right to his point, tells it like it is from his point of view, does not talk in riddles and is clearly highly intelligent and educated.
Word. And that is what those who hate him can't stand about him. "How dare ye come at me from the platform of knowledge and education! You're supposed to be stupid and beneath me!"
Guess again you uneducated racist out there.
Kudos to Apostle Jeremiah Wright when he spoke about the injustices in our society. "God Bless America? Naw, Naw, Naw.......GOD DAMN AMERIKKKA!!!" The greatest sermon of the Century and beyond. Love it. :-)
....sermon delivered by a rich black guy...🤣, hating on the “system” that made him wealthy 🤣😂🤣
....just another rich Liberal, taking advantage of his lemming followers...
@@baldrad1 the system did not make him wealthy this earned degrees made him wealthy I take it that you would like to see him for that's typical
@@baldrad1 I know you would like to see him poor
@@dellpayton8102 woooooo-degrees 🤣🤣🤣everybody with a DEGREE 🤣🤣🤣 gets RICH! You ARE a comedian! You get rich in this country by DECIDING to follow various formulae to GET there…degrees are more or less irrelevant-they may get you a high-paying JOB, but getting RICH is another thing altogether.
I love Michael Eric Dyson...he lays it down with no apology and hits the nail righ on the head.
Whether you like what Jeremiah Wright said or not isn't important. What is important is the Jeremiah Wright was bringing up the struggles and injustices of black people in America. There's a reason why you don't see a lot of black people get chocked up or have emotions when a police officer is killed in the line of duty, or when a service dies in action, or simple isn't emotional when they see the American Flag or yellow ribbons. Reverend Wright was accurate when he said that white people shouldn't expect black people to sing "God Bless America" or Lee Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" when black people have not gotten the same things white people have.
Keep going brother. People always hate on what they can't understand.
He’s easy to understand-nothing complicated-just wrong.
What he said about black people not being surprised by the comments...spot on.
+Andrea Morgan that's cause you are a racist fuck you also
Rix Slade I got British and Irish roots so chill out. Can't get mad when we go around bombing the hell out of brown countries and then someone retliates.
Andrea Morgan Eric dyson is a victim of Cultural Marxist indoctrination. It was the Democratic Party founded the kkk and passed Jim Crow laws. They wanted slavery not Republicans
@@RixSlade-hl2se Ur one dumbass devil, why are u here trolling?
@@andream4989 why are you saying you got British and Irish roots? Are you trying to say you're not black or that you're not the same as black people without white roots? I'm confused.
Very impressed with Rev. Wright... he simply educates people on our history and world history. We need more clergy like him and Dyson.
.......Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot, Stalin......all "victims" like Wright?????......your evil.....a dark human being..................
Brilliant video.
When I was 10, I was told the story about the demise of the Narragansett Indian tribe. This man of 75 told Me how His Mother and Father were killed in front of Him when He was just a boy like Me. He told Me how they cut off His Hair, burned His cloths and renamed Him " Fortunate Frank Dupuis" This story didn't come from a book or movie, it came from a human being that got no Christmas or Birthday cards from His side of the Family. A Man that had no relatives from His side of the family at the weddings of His Children and no relatives from His side of the family at family picnics. Just imagine how that feels, how lonely that must have made Him, to have no one there for Him, from the age of 10. I knew Fortunate Frank very well, He was my Stepmother's Father. His story left a mark on Me, a very large mark. So much so that I'm one hundred-percent against the death penalty, not because of the criminals life, but because of the criminals Family and their feelings.
Thank goodness that the professor is hear to help America through her massive pervasive ignorance. The Reverend Wright absolutely has a right to his opinion and to use hyperbole to express it, but people do still have some small right to react to it. And it is just a little bit presumptive to conflate any disagreement or raised eyebrows with the ignorance of narrow mindedness and living sheltered lives. I have listened to numerous monologues by Dyson now and have yet to hear his policy prescriptions.
7:12
He is not wrong.
It takes getting scared for a lot of people.
I'm going to keep it real.....I wasn't going to vote for Obama until I heard Reverend Jeremiah Wright speak! I was about to just put in Ralph Nader.....but then I heard those speeches! Maybe it's the revolutionary in me!
It's not revolutionary of you. Let's be clear all prophets have spoken out against injustice. It's what they do. The criticism comes in because in this case the prophet was black. That's what this has been about since the beginning.
no its because we need to know where Obama gets his ideas...and if his preacher says God damn america while on the pulpit and spews his political views the way he does, then we should worry at just one of Obama's mentors.
Paul Russomanno sorry wrong answer. The minister isn't expounding upon political views. The minister is expounding on religious text based on moral implications coming straight out of the Bible. If you read the Bible, you will see a constant subtext of prophets, and ministers, that criticize the people and the governments that act outside of God's law. Thus, the minister isn't expounding up on political views, he is using the religious text based to demonstrate how far as a nation we are we are away from God. If you read the Bible, then you understand the moral requirements the nations must follow. If any nation sins against God then God will damn that nation. In the past God routinely has punished nations that murdered enslaved and destroyed innocent people. This is nothing new.
Ryooken They won't get it! The only criticism of this country they'll allow is when they give rights to minorities and their melting pot......the only good things America's got going for itself, really! As for bombing brown people, they want it more!!!
Bilal C Sadly this is true. Hey the Egyptians didn't get it either.
"I'm not going to debate you" - Correction you CANNOT debate me because you don't have the intellectual wherewithal to debate me. Jeremiah Wright spoke 100% percent truth end of story.
You and Wright forget WHO is actually responsible for the failure of Blacks....Blacks THEMSELVES! Not a single successful Black run government ANYWHERE!
@@Smokey-ft2bp umm yeah and that couldn't possibly have absolutely anything to do with European colonialism and slavery, right? Your intellect is skin deep buddy. And define successful government. Which government is successful? And why are you speaking in terms of government. Like why is a government system the only way to have a successful life?
sowhat ...yeah blame it on whitey, that’s why you fail in school, business, etc, ANYTHING but sports, you sure can run and catch a ball and make millions doing it. Where’s AFFIRMATIVE ACTION for white athletes? Did you say “intellectual”? White is lying racist who blames everyone but his people.
@@Smokey-ft2bp the devil has but a short-season your time is just about up buddy looks like you highly Delight in saying that black people have absolutely no contribution to this world you better look up the great black inventions sir in which you know nothing of but you Delight in putting people down your crazy you forget about who really ran things the Mali Empire when Europe was in the Dark Ages Africa was in his fifth Dynasty your time is ran out you won't be able to brag about how black people contributed nothing
@@Smokey-ft2bp it was the Moors that delivered Europe from the Dark Ages not Charles the great or Charlemagne don't you ever forget that you don't know who invented the traffic signal the gas mask the lubricant cup air conditioning Refrigeration too many contributions to this nation it was a black man that pitched Washington DC it would be no DC without my forefather Benjamin Banneker to shut your mouth you're stupid go back from which you came because you'll be there soon
This guy is awesome. I go to a predominantly white Church. I want him to come speak at my church.
Are you a Chinese Latino or sth? Lol
I LOVE DYSON!!! SPEAK THE TRUTH AND FORGET THE HATERZ!!!
Absolutely and they also keep black folk scared and submissive to a certain degree. The farther back you go, the more they preached “GOD HAS IT, god will serve justice FOR US”. It matters very little, this life because OUR REWARDS WILL COME IN THE KINGDOM. Suffering is holy...needed, apart of being Black and embraced. Later, many pastors turned from this but SOME still preach “Suffering is good for us”.
I never understood the issue with Wright
The issue is the enemy cannot stand the truth and dr-right speaks the truth when you speak the truth the enemy cannot stand that he's calling them out on their hermeneutics and Theological dissonance the enemy does not like the truth and that is the problem
Really? How are they different? marriages recognized by the state should be different from those performed by the church. Yet those who want a more theist government are the only ones that disagree, which is the exact reason we have a separation of church and state. It was also a transgression in the south to engage in interracial marriage.
The TEMPLE OF TRUTH. Many think they are called, only very few are truly chosen.
Which one are you? Problem or solution? If you don't have a solution, STFU
I beg to differ. He broke down the fundamental barriers of America's so called melting pot by stating the facts... the facts are that people of color, Caucasians, Latinos, and so forth fellowship differently and completely separate, in many cases. In fact, that's part of the segregation that's made it merely impossible for people of all nationalities to truly understand each other. Until we sit down and unbiasedly try to find remedies for problems together, things will always be lopsided.
Before i engage in this discussion i need to first ask you some questions. First: Can you envision anything that will change your mind on this topic? I can say for myself that if given the proper argument and supporting information that my perspective on this point of view can change. What say you?
i dont know for shure but i know its an industrie. im a white boy by the way but i feel strongly about this. im glad you responded and i agree totaly with you. what do you think of rev.wright?
luminous intelligence....you sir are that
This man makes a great point about racism.
Amen
So the problem isn't that Wright spoke fuckery, but that whites were unaware of it?
And what does Rev Wright's statement, "God Damn America!!!!!". mean?
Jane Doe ...Jane doe?! 🤣
I was never shocked by anything Jeremiah Wright said. Disappointed but not surprised at all.
He spoke nothing but the truth.
word.
Wow, Very well said. I've said often What exactly did Rev Wright say that was so shocking?
I think that Fox news has a way of telling a story that puts a certain spin so that it can be seen in its worst light when it comes to Obama. Rev wright's large congregation and many African Americans agree with a lot of what he says. this doesn't mean that we are not patriotic. We just disagree with the way that America's policies have negatively affected us and others.
me neither bro... me neither. Peace!
Interesting...
#1 nowhere in the bible and #2 I've never had to go thru that kind of racism in my life
that's you
What's nowhere in the Bible?
i just dont feel safe since bush. thats all. cant help it.
Again, the whole 'people of color' topic is another issue, but we're steerin away from the matter at hand. Honestly, the root of the issue at hand is that people are distinguishin different 'races'. We all one human race with a plethora of different ethnicities, nationalities, creeds, cultures, and religions. If we united, the world itself would immediately end with its turmoil and that's where world peace would be achieved.
unfortunately, I agree with you..I had no idea that he was bought by the mainstream...He talks about Blacks....but its all for show....I would like a lucative postion but I cannot be bought....I am not wired for it
Still trying to sell stock in Blackstar cruise lines.

Also the chemical structure of the virus is pretty unnatural. The Aids conspiracy is pretty mainstream in the black community. But that's the least of conversations that go on.
Person who acknowledges what your race contributed to society is not a racist but a person who lived through it
Through what?
Perfect rebuttal.
I'm a black male i havent watched an episode of friends and dont know too many white people who have watched living single. basically what the fuck is he talking about
Dyson is hilarious! He cracks me up! Everything is so bombastic and silly sounding!
You type silly.
Not really it's ok to admit that this Brother is well over your head
Soon soon soon soon i can't wait
No, 'people of color' is very much the same issue.
When "people of color" is used it implies that white people LACK something(color)that we need to have to be normal(which is why tanning is so common, despite melanoma), we are treated as an outlier.
We are not a race, we are a species. We are already united as a species, just leave people alone and there will not be anymore racial conflict.
White people are a species? And what is the point of your comment? What do you mean "leave people alone"? What people?
"i dont want to end up dead, just because of youtube."~ IshmaelSimmonds Sorry to tell you but alluding to something is enough to get you murdered, by a government. Also I hate to be the bearer of worse news...safety will not be guaranteed no matter who wins, or if one survives till 2016. However, I respect your decision not to articulate your position.
Dyson uses a lot of big words and fancy language to say nothing worth listening to.
I understood everything he said, and guess what? I only got my G.E.D. What where you in special education?
"he is missing the point on purpose, "~IshmaelSimmonds What point is he missing?
This guy loves his rhymes, he likes to engage in discussion as if he lives in a Dr. Seuss book.
Every time I hear this guy speak, its always something along the lines of "White America doesn't understand the cadence, the credence, coalescence and cadence of Black America"
Dyson is a very limited thinker with a large vocabulary that he LOVES to show-off.

Interesting that at 8:55 Dyson says America must "heal," but then corrects himself and says "heed and yield," to these prophetic voices. That for me reveals the exact divide today. Some wish to move on from the sins of the past and begin the healing process and others like Dyson want to keep the sins of the past alive until America "heeds and yields," i.e., pays for them as the chickens come home to roost, which I guess means the total destruction of America as hoped for by Malcolm X* and which finally began on 9/11. I ask you, which view is the more loving ... which view is the more Christian? Which view moves us forward and which view keeps generation after generation mired in hate?

+Jack Jones Thanks for making my point for me. Those who point their fingers and scream "hate" the loudest are themselves the true haters.
I suppose you think slavery was brought to the african continent by the white man do you? tribal warfare and enslavement was what made african society. was typical to eat your foe
how many black support groups do we need?
Ramble,ramble
I disagree. UNITY in this case, is the enemy of separatism. The world, this country is far too diverse for any of us to believe that excommunication from every other ethnicity is the answer. Btw, the term "people of color" is applicable for anyone of African descent. Caucasians aren't 'people of color'... that is of course, we factor in the 'one drop' rule, in certain situations. Back to the matter at hand, separatism is not the answer.
full o bull, folks who WANNA hate are ignorant & not always of truth
this guy MICHAEL ERIC DYSON is just serving us WORD SALAD.
NO. Thanks
the thing about AIDS is a bit absurd
+Agustin Zavala read the White MD's who back him on the Robert Gallo (the man who invented aids) video on youtube Also see how 9-11 's building 7 was ignored by the USA government and lied about among all other evidences. Absurd?
I came to this video thinking I'd click "dislike" but wound up clicking "like"
fuck you dude hate is hate cause your ass is black doesn't give you that right
we arent even entitled to an opinion, see how its wrong to be aware? As soon as a black person has an opinion, its racist, as soon as a white man has an opinion, its usually them giving someone permission on how to think! Thats like someone beat yo ass and then tell you how to feel afterwards? "Dont hurt this way, dont hold grudges let me keep beatin yo ass and remain unaware of this beatin' I'm givin you" And black people dumb too because "white people" aren't the problem because they dont pay the police force! No white or black person's opinion toward me can hold me back only the one i have about myself, all ignorance is learned behavior
Hyperbolic word salad.
Tavis smiley
This is the most racist comments I ever heard him say!!!
MICHAEL ERIC DYSON PLEASE WE WANT YOU TO RUN FOR THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AMERICA.BEN CARSON NEED TO STAY IN THE MEDICAL WORLD.
+ginnie dimingo to the racist person who wrote this do us all a favor and shut the fuck up
Such condescension. Not to mention all the talk of "white culture" like it's one thing that can be known. This man is such an opportunist.
Yeah and you are a hater
Christ died for all,Jesus himself wouldn't agree with this false pastor,nothing wrong with helping your own race,but when you emphasize it too much,that's where things start to look racist.
Are you a molecular biologist
Waste of time
uppity explaining uppity.
Dyson is like a dinner at red lobster.... you might think your getting some quality fancy food..... but its just fast food... and its bad for you
What a load of nonsense ... stick to making fans Dyson.
Your low IQ and low educational level are not problem of Michael Eric Dyson.
I didn't know Dyson was a reverend. Well, that explains why he's so nutty. The guy believes in fairy tales and superstition, that says it all...
separation0620 how's that? he never said he believed in trickle down economics.
This so racist.
I don't believe the True Christian church which includes ALL people's (including BLACK people) and of which is defined by those who adhere to correct Biblical theology, would even want to have Jeremiah Wright aligned with them. So sir, you've just insulted the Elect of God. But you can keep "Rev." Wright for yourself.
The black church is full of preachers just like Rev Wright he is accepted cause he ministers from the black perspective cause he's black...he's been preaching about God foryears..Obama knows he is a good man and we love him....he's alright with black folk.
Well, that's my point my friend... It's not and shouldn't ever be about "being black". It's about the Truth. The Truth knows no color or ethnicity. The Truth is what we should ALL seek out, and when we do, we find ourselves in the SAME church. And since, "The Church" is defined (Biblically) as the people of God. Mr. Wright isn't wrong because he's Black, he's wrong because his theology is all jacked up. :)
Mr. Dyson is correct on how these cultural distinctions come about BUT I think he's failing to see the more important issue. What makes Wright wrong is not b/c of these cultural distinctions but more b/c the man is more lead by his fervor of controversy by His bad theology than because he's black. Bad theology will do that to ya.
AMEN, BIRDS OF A FEATHER FLICK TOGETHER!

Same-Sex Marriage & The Bible Debate - Prof. Michael Eric Dyson v Bishop Harry Jackson
Dr. Dyson, you are wrong in your views on this subject. I was not surprised, but I was disappointed. the bible is right and you can't make up your own interpretation.
except you can, of course
meeg_2005 I can't either. 2 Peter 1:20...scripture on private interpretation. Do I need to list out for you book, chapter and verse on gay unions? I can and I will. Lev. 18: 22-24, 1 Cor 6:9, Romans 1:6. Start with these. Cross reference these scriptures to find more.
You can if you are not Christian, but if you follow Jesus, you have to follow His and His disciples rules. Unlike what most Americans believe today, morals are not relative. That is the reason He took the time to have them written down way back when. Even though people today try to say that we do not have the original text or its meaning, we do. Just like laws that are meant for all in the land they are written for, not just for those that find them relevant...
Not to mention +Saved Sinner Yah has written these laws on our heart...

dude, your point is? ok my english isnt that good! because im dutch! from holland! (the folks that put ur grandpa and ma in the ships from africa hahahaha!
who is smart now? hahahahahahahaha
He breathes and loves pure evil.
when someone is called "Racist" it really means "Aware"
+Notorious B.I.Z. Show me in the Bible where it is a pastor's responsibility to give a voluntary and editorialized status report of a certain race of people. Show me where that is. That's #1.
#2 is that if you saw actual, legalistic racism, you would be mortified. A black man, orders a sandwich at a deli, the manager then asks the black man to stand outside and wait for his food...because he is not allowed to stand and wait with the white people inside. Stand outside. Like a dog. That is legalistic racism. We do not have those standards anymore in America. Get real dude.
He seems to be amazed by his own vocabulary and ability to double speak
He didn't doublespeak he only spoke once you just couldn't understand it for a reason it's okay listen closer maybe you'll learn something
