Attacks on him are really attacks on the black church, claims the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. in a speech to the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. Monday. Throughout his speech—which was more of a sermon to a willing congregation—Wright compared South Africa’s former apartheid to the current treatment of black Americans in the USA.
Wright continued his railing against anyone who questions his sermons as unpatriotic. This issue surfaces at the worst possible time for the African American Presidential hopeful following Obama’s glorified lecture to the American People on race trying to save his campaign and explain away his 20+ years of close relationship with Pastor Jeremiah Wright, while denouncing his remarks.
