in Reverend Dr. Jeremiah Wright at the National Press Club on Jack and Jill Politics
Where do I begin?
As a child growing up in the middle-class neighborhood of Beverly Hills/Washington Heights in Chicago. A neighborhood that prides it self on community and property and who embraced their community. I am a 40 year old Black male from this neighborhood and I am grateful for all the Efforts that Rev. Wright and Rev. Dr. Johnnie Coleman gave to us. Rev. Wright was one of the first ministers to start the flight for us to visit Africa in an era from 1968 to present when our parents' were being able to enjoy the fight from the 1960's era. What Rev. Wright stated was taken out of content, just like the state Michelle Obama stated, too. Being an Black American and especially Chicago, we can relate to their statements when you have been beaten down and not given a fair chance in a language all our own. First and foremost, Mr. Obama.. a lot of us Black Chicagoans hadn't heard of him as well as he did some work with the Housing Project Groups in Altgeld garden Housing projects. Our Black forefathers, Mr. Wright and other Black Americans paved the way for Mr. Obama to be where he is now. Mr. Obama forefathers never shed Black Blood on this land..like our Black forefathers did and I believe Mr. Obama is more accepted because America doesn't feel threatened because his mother and grand parents' were directly traced to present White America genes. Mr. Obama should have stated (out of fairness), " Rev. Wright is my spiritual advisor and people have a right to their own viewpoints." Our community embraces Mr. Obama, a community that was already established before he entered Rev. Wright's Church, A community that migrated north "to the promised land" for better opportunity after years of being oppressed in the southern parts of the USA, a community that migrated via "Historic Pullman Porters", rode the back of the greyhound bus from the south and was only able to sit up front once they crossed the Mason/Dixon line in Cairo, Illinois. A community that wanted better for their children and worked hard to keep their lawns manicured and prove the whites wrong in Chicago about panic selling and 30, 40, 50 years later the community is still manicured and beautiful. Rev. Wright stated the truth because this land was built on free slave labor of our forefathers..not Obama's..maybe Michelle's. My question is..will Mr. Obama really do anything for we Black Americans in America? And, this is the first time that I will not be voting because birth candidates I am not satisfied. The only reason I can vote is because my forefathers made it possible for me to have this choice not Mr. Obama's
