This is how interviews should be done. Thanks for the post, and it was very informative. I probably won't agree with everything if I get into the details, but I don't think there's anything wrong with this.
TO RAW FOR AMERICA 🤔🤔🤔 TO DAM BAD... he spoke the TRUTH and need not to apologize.....the RAWEST .... and America tried to SHUN him with that sound bite ...you made me listen to him and I've learned about the black plight in these biblical books.....
RealPersianPrince Yeah, I never really understood what the big deal was, lol.

Indeed, we evangelicals want grace and mercy and prosperity for ourselves, sure we don´t care for the "pagans" and none protestants unless they "convert" and adopt western values and become American dreamers. But, when theology points its finger to our sins, crimes, vanity, racism, and love of money we feel angry to be cursed and damned. We are very happy as long as we are the oppressor and the ruling empire.
This is the truth. If you can't understand Black Liberation Theology it's because you don't understand biblical Jewish history, the prophetic writings, or the Sermon on the Mount.
..but we are the light that must shine from them in a dark, evil world. We must stop hating, sinning, following selfish desires & be greater than this carnal flesh. We are to accept whatever station we are in without grumbling 'cause God put us here to do a mission. Everyone must find that mission or reason God put you here, so you can fulfill it. All missions are for the glory of God. We are to witness & help each other until our Lord comes back for us. Your soul has no color. We are the same.
I love, how you expressed yourself,!!!!!! I'm so glad to know,that there are , decent and loving people , in a world that some-times seems so cruel, and hurtful!!!!!!!!!
Each human has a blind spot (at least one), & this is one reason for the richness of the community of the God-begotten. One of your blind spots is revealed in your usage of "you people" to address blacks. Do you recognize the condescension? American Christians tend to paint Jesus in their own image, and this perspective is often that of the empire rather than of the Kingdom, of the retaliator rather than the long-suffering. "Let this mind be in you..." Bless U
The truth is just the truth. The Apostle Paul withstood Peter and rebuked him his face for the respect of persons (racism), How then can anyone criticise Rev Wright? He is abslutely correct for calling out the sin of racism in this country. The bible DOES NOT ENDORSE RACISM, BUT CONDEMNS IT. People should read th bible and Wake the heck up.
Biblical Hermeneutics is not subjective but objective. Therefore, if Mr. Wright has a certain existential worldview, his Hermeneutics is stained by what formed it and his approach towards Scripture.
Liberation theology calls to wake some very good aspects that church at large has ignored, that is the present suffering. So much of church deals with just the spiritual life (acknowledging its crucial importance) nonetheless we CAN NOT keep ignoring certain issues (In terms of constructing a theology that can speak to these issues) Liberation theology does that.
My people are awake and have been for a very long time. Having to be hyper vigilant in the name of survival and overcoming such a despicable situation requires it. Your people are the one's that need to wake up and stop denying, ignoring, and destroying the earth, lives, and accountability. I think it's your blindness that needs to get right. We have humble compassion for the persecuted. Do you?
@POINTMAN8888 HAHA WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT THE TIME OF SARROWS? THATS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SUBJECTS.. TELL ME WHAT DO YOU KNOW WHATS THE REASON OF THE END TIMES SORROW?
You missed the whole point- Jesus came to set the captive free- from their sin, not their circumstances. Stop preaching hate- stop looking Backward- can you not encourage people to move Forward in the power of the Lord? You Can move forward with hope in Christ’s power!
"I write a comment speaking on sin and depravity of all men and all you can do is go back to race." And I quote: "YOU PEOPLE better wake up from this attitude that somehow being oppressed because of THE COLOR OF YOUR SKIN..." Were you speaking to some other "you people?" Wright's only point was that those who haven't suffered as the lowest are often unable to empathize with the lowest; thus, they lack the perspective of the Biblical writers, who were from a hated minority. Bless U
You know who you are if you have Jesus. You are a child of the Most High!! Do not let satan distract you from knowing that. By focusing us on color of skin or social classes he causes strife, wars, evil. Satan spends most of his time distracting people to hate & violence. We are all of the HUMAN race, created by the hand of God, PERFECT in all it's workmanship. We must focus on actions toward helping ea other, not on such vain foolishness like color or our differences. Uniqueness is beauty!
Black theology seems to me to be as racist as any man in a sheet. Jesus came to deliver us from the bondage of SIN, not color of our skins or the way other men treat us. It had to do with God's kingdom vs the world system or satan's kingdom. Jesus wanted to open our eyes & hearts to walking in light (goodness, righteousness, holiness) & not walk in darkness (hatred, evil, selfishness, lusts). We are to be overcomer's of the flesh & world. We are not the containers that hold us here. (con't)
Martin Luther King, Jr. wrote in his autobiography: "The Republican Party geared its appeal and program to racism, reaction, and extremism." That was his description of the 1964 Republican National Convention. He also referred to the Republican convention as "the frenzied wedding at the Cow Palace of the KKK with the radical right."
@daming209 As a person who doesn't believe in god whatsoever, I find Liberation Theology to have great utility because it dedicates a lot of it's focus on material problems instead of spiritual problems - I think because of it's analysis of real world issues, it promotes education, and somewhat keeps people from the pitfalls of many other religious denominations that focus on figures, icons, and idols instead of class, poverty, and history (outside of religious books).
You are correct, but for the wrong reason and attitude. Black is a symbol for all suffering, not a particular groups suffering. Listen to his explanation. Prophetic voices always divide. They call and repel. White supremacy was not some secondary ingredient in american society. It was one of the main courses in the infliction of suffering on millions on all the continents. Peace
Deidra do you love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength at all times? Do you love your neighbor (including your enemies) as yourself? Have you kept the Law of God? Have you met God's standard of having "compassion for the persecuted?" Let me answer for myself. I've not loved God or my neighbor as I ought. I have not kept God's Holy Law and I have not met God's standard in anything. I boast in nothing save the cross of Christ. I'm a wretched sinner saved by grace. Are you?
Ok. If governments fail... then why grow government, give it more money, enhance its power, and thereby have people depend on government? It seems the goal to reduce the State's power and involvement in the citizens' lives would be a better way.
I was speaking to anyone who adheres to the lie that is black liberation theology. You want to take my comment and make it a generalization of all blacks. That simply isn't the case because all blacks don't believe this way. We don't relate to the Gospel based on how we have been oppressed but rather based upon the realization of our own sinfulness and God's holiness in contrast. If you try to relate any other way then frankly you've missed the point of the Gospel
There may be historical problems with Jesus being Black, but "Theologically" there is no problem. Amare Stoudemire has a tattoo "Black Jesus". As a White person I have no problem with whatever colour or race Jesus belonged to. The Catholics in Congo represent Christ & His mother as Black. Christ, for Christians, was the Perfect Man, because His humanity was possessed by a Divine person, the son of God. Everything He said or did revealed God to us. A retired Catholic priest in Canada.
The problem is a refusal to offer anything other than contempt. Currently and all the while - Denial of relevance or racism's atrocity's results through "Well, we've ALL suffered. What makes your race's suffering so special?" The contempt and redirection..."Well, other people suffered too..." or "I can't pay for what my forefather's did..." The next time a loved one goes through loss or confusion - respond in like manner and compare the tone. Just uncaring and cold; hardly Christian.
Yes but you see what gets me is that I am white myself, and yet I am from an extremely discriminated group which racism is a big problem. Now I only mention this for the reason that why should 'black' be a symbol of suffering. In ireland where I am from there are hardly any black people but there is allot of racism against certain groups. I supppose I am sick of ignorant people putting me in some imaginary box called 'the white man'
I am glad that Bill Moyers did this interview. Unlike Hannity, he gave the man a chance to talk. Also unlike Hannity, he did not bring up some hard questions, though I do realize that this interview had a different purpose. Wright once again here tries to justify his "God Damn America" statement. It is one thing to condemn a practice, and another to condemn an entire Nation. That is where he is wrong.
He is right and this illegitimate nation is wrong in every sense. Sorry, not sorry. Jesus was not loyal to Rome and real Christians should not consistently worship this nation or have any loyality to it. Render onto Caesar.
Let me begin by saying that I fail at keeping the 2nd Commandment Rashad. I still believe it is a sin, however, to make such images even mentally. When I read about Jesus I try not to envision Christ but rather dwell on His words or actions or upon something or someone other than what I would picture the Messiah as. I'm not boasting about keeping the 2nd Commandment (because I don't) but rather I'm explaining what the 2nd Commandment entails.
Constance, Jesus did not come to give anyone a revelation of self, but a revelation of God Himself that abides within you when you repent of your sins & reject this evil world system that belongs to satan & accept Him into your heart. It matters not what people judge of you as people even as children mock ea other because they are fleshly & do not know God. But God says to overcome the flesh w/all it's lusts & selfish desires. To count sufferings as blessings as Jesus suffered.
palmares I believe that making any image of Jesus the Christ (even mentally) is a violation of the 2nd Commandment. I believe it's sinful to attribute any imagination or image to the God-Man or to the Father. We do know of certain features Christ had from Scripture but as for exact features, exact melanin content, etc I do not speculate. I love my Savior and color or physical description has nothing to do with it.
@POINTMAN8888 YOU ASKED ME TO PROVE THAT CHRISTIANS A.K.A MEN OF CHRIST DID EXIST BEFORE THE COUNCIL OF NICEA. 1) 12 DISCIPLES THEY WERE MEN THAT FOLLOWED AND BELIEVED IN CHRIST 2) JESUS C HAD 100'S PEOPLE THAT FOLLOWED HIM WHEN HE TEACHED THEM THE WORD 3) CHRIST HAD ISRAELITES AND GENTILES FOLLOWING HIM AND THEY LOVED THE GOOD NEWS (GOSPEL) THAT HE WAS TEACHING.. HE MADE THE WORD OF GOD COME ALIVE.. HE WAS THE TORAH IN THE FLESH. 4) HIS "CHURCH GREW AND GREW TO THE THOUSANDS CHRIST MEN
the black people have never suffer like the true jews and GOD knows the poor indians of americans have suffer greatly. the rules of God the Lord earth the law given to moses was unable to be follow by all human therefore THE LORD OF HOST had to write the rules of GOD inside of MANKIND WHERE WE WHO ARE CHOSEN of GOD CANNOT SHAKE it OFF, No MATTER THEREFORE IF YOU KNOW THE LORD YOU KNOW THAT god MAKES life fair no matter how you feel about.. I do not feel that way but i know it true
I understand your point, brother. You seem not to realize that if you use "you people" and then talk about skin color, NO BLACK PERSON will catch the distinction that you intended but did not type. A recognition of sinfulness is the inevitable result of encountering Jesus, but that may not be the PRIMARY residue for a soul. And the heartbreak we've experienced has a direct effect on how we present the Gospel to others. This is why Peter was allowed to deny Jesus before he was fit to lead others.
@POINTMAN8888 .........................................Romans 11 7 What then? "ISRAEL" hath NOT obtained that which he seeketh for; but "THE ELECTION HATH OBTAINED IT", and the rest were BLINDED. 8 (According as it is written, God hath given them the SPIRIT OF SLUMBER, eyes that they should NOT SEE, and ears that they should NOT HEAR;) UNTO THIS DAY. POINT DON'T EVEN CRY THAT THESE VERSES HAVE BEEN WHITEWASHED!
Blind Spot revealed in my usage of "you people" to address blacks? Most blacks don't believe this mess. The traditional Black Church in America doesn't believe this mess. Read my comment again. I'm very particular in who I'm referring to. In fact you are making the very point I wrote against. I write a comment speaking on sin and depravity of all men and all you can do is go back to race. This isn't about race! It's about SIN. Christ came to die for sinners which puts us all in the same boat
@POINTMAN8888 ........................................2 Thessalonians 2 ....Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 AND FOR THIS CAUSE GOD SHALL SEND THEM "STRONG DELUSION, THAT THEY SHALL BELIEVE A LIE": POINT YOU FIT IN THESE CATEGORY SORRY BRO THEIRS NO SECOND CHANCE, YOU DIDNT HAVE A CHANCE COMING OUT THE GATES
@POINTMAN8888 Funny how Martin Luther King fought all his life to end segregation and now people like you want to separate yourselves from everyone else all over again.
A rev. that would say the Lords name in vain? The country Britain he spoke of was the white Israelites that God said would be a nation of nations. So wright take it to God, the very God you say in vain.
Goodness gracious! Who gives a crud what your skin color is?! I don't. People who think along such superficial and petty things must be miserable because they have to stir up cheap digs on others in order to feel any happiness or self-esteem--by tearing others down to feel less inadequate. Quit such nonsense and hold some intelligent discussion, not idiotic discussion over superficial differences. I have met racists in both White and African-American communities but both of them drive me crazy.
Bill Moyers has always been one of my favorite journalists & interviewers. A fantastic interview.
This is how interviews should be done. Thanks for the post, and it was very informative. I probably won't agree with everything if I get into the details, but I don't think there's anything wrong with this.
TO RAW FOR AMERICA
🤔🤔🤔 TO DAM BAD... he spoke the TRUTH and need not to apologize.....the RAWEST ....
and America tried to SHUN him with that sound bite ...you made me listen to him and I've learned about the black plight in these biblical books.....
The Good Reverend did not lie about any of it. In fact, all his statements in this video were 100% accurate. Great video.
Even as an athiest I agree in the power of the word of god in an unjust world. Live a blessed life people, some are cursed to endless night.
if people actually LISTEN to this guy without bias they will see his beliefs are not what the news showed him to be
RealPersianPrince Yeah, I never really understood what the big deal was, lol.

Speak the truth Rev. Wright....!!!!
THAT'S MY PASTOR!!! SAY IT PASTOR WRIGHT!!!
This is the first Black Lives Matter sermon.
Reverend Wright has a big mouth and a big mind. I like the man.
Thank You, for expressing my sentiments!!!!!! If we love GOD, We cannot disparage our fellow- man
Yes Pastor Wright yes
..but we are the light that must shine from them in a dark, evil world. We must stop hating, sinning, following selfish desires & be greater than this carnal flesh. We are to accept whatever station we are in without grumbling 'cause God put us here to do a mission. Everyone must find that mission or reason God put you here, so you can fulfill it.

God wants to bless America
Serious question...why?
@@zeroun92 Because his children lives here. And I'm not referring to hateful racist.
B Smith Lol nothing like an old comment to see your changed perspective
No He does not.
This Preacher Aint Lying!!
So we can also have jewish liberation theology, Irish liberation theology and aboriginal etc etc....its not just 'black' people that have suffered.
Yeah but what makes black people different is we’re the only people that can’t hide within the white race.
Jeremiah Wright makes alot of sende to me.
Where can I find the full speeches of Jeremiah Wright on the internei?
I love, how you expressed yourself,!!!!!! I'm so glad to know,that there are , decent and loving people , in a world that some-times seems so cruel, and hurtful!!!!!!!!!
Powerful message! 😎

"Hermeneutic" is where people tend to go wrong.
The only window we need to see is God's window.
There is no "interpretation" to what God says.
that's your interpretation.

i dont go to church but if this guy was in my nieborhood i will make it my bis. to go every sunday

Wow. I wish I had seen this video clip a long time ago.
You have far more respect for the man when his words are put in context.
@4:55 duuurrrrrrr stupid question : the Reverends message / sermon was self explained . & im conservative

And I see racism against some white people here . And Unbiblical Theology
TRANSLATION: You'd better start suffering if you want to see the grace of God.
Truth
Very Good. Thanks for posting.
brilliant
From 4:30 to 4:50 wouldn't most Christians jump to the conclusion that he used the lord's name in vane even though he didn't?
@kifagi I concur! He laid out biblical prophesy without hate brilliantly.
@POINTMAN8888 REV 5:5 is speaking of Our Lord Jesus Christ a.k.a the WORD OF GOD
How is it not relevant? I am also giving my opinion on black liberation theology, which is in direct contradiction to the american-hating opinion.
Ok. If governments fail... then why grow government, give it more money, enhance its power, and thereby have people depend on government? It seems the goal to reduce the State's power and involvement in the citizens' lives would be a better way.

His opinion is well understood, but biblically we are not to take the Lord's name in vain.
THAT was the issue of his sermon.
It is self that oppresses both the oppressed and the oppressor; thus, "self-oppressed" is useless as a criterion or term of distinction.
Bless U
Hey Awa :) ♥️
Wise man.
He's right.
What color do you subscribe Jesus to be Dallas? Do you believe the image that Jesus is shown to be over the world is accurate?
There may be historical problems with Jesus being Black, but "Theologically" there is no problem. Amare Stoudemire has a tattoo "Black Jesus".
