Lol !!!

Thank so Spike!!

Thank you Spike!

thanks spike i mean seriously dat pastor needs to stop!!!

lmao@spike
good thing for the troops!

Spike speak on it!!

Yeah I wish Wright would chill for a bit. He’s f—in things up for Obama.

Thank You Spike Lee!!!!!

The paster just needs to be quiet for now, all he is doing is hurting Obama.

Yes Jeremiah Wright i know he’s a man of the cloth but he needs to shut up. Although i do agree with some of the things he says. White america doesn’t need to hear that right now let’s wait till Obama becomes president thanks.

The troops damn it’ s about time, let those men and women come home.

Having had an opportunity to hear Jeremiah Wright speak on several occasions, I agree whole-heartedly with his sermons. However, I am also now assured that Jeremiah is working hard to damage the chances of Obama being President. I suppose he believes if he is not going to get an opportunity to ride the gravy train to the ball, then no one should go. So sad…

But there are two sides to every story and some fault lies with Obama. How is it that you can let a group of people who have questioned everything about you from the beginning determine with whom you will maintain relationships? Funny thing, soon after Obama denounced Wright, the same people who demanded it immediately began to say that still couldn’t trust Obama because he took too long to cut the ties…

The lesson for Obama is…play the game by your own rules, at least if you lose, it will have been on your own terms because the truth of the matter is (and we all knew this) they will continue to change the rules in he middle of the game.

BTW…why hasn’t anyone brought up the fact that Jeremiah Wright was a trusted advisor to Bill Clinton during both of his administrations? Jeremiah Wright is the black pastor who introduced the Clintons to black paators throughout the Chicago area.

Peace,
Truth

I agree with Spike 1′000 percent his statement is on point.

I really hope Obama crushes Clinton tonight. I will be checking the results on CNN.

Please bring the troops home.

Speak on it Spike!! “rev” wright has already said what he had to say why does he keep talking?

Obama wins North Carolina *cheering*

Yes bout damn time their bringing our troops home. Makes no damn sense they have been doing 3 to 5 tours of duty in iraq. It a damn shame, and bush is a coward.

OBAMA 08′

SPIKE SAID IT BEST, DUDE NEEDS TO SHUT UP!!!
of course its a conspiracy to ruin Obama’s chances, no doubt in my mind. How dumb can one be to keep saying the ubsurd and stupid things that wright says! MAJOR DAMAGE CONTROL, ASAP! Honestly, I think this guy is being paid to continue saying the stuff he says, because I dont understand what other reason he has to continue with it, if he knows it’s damaging Obama’s image. I thought when I first saw a clip of what he was saying on tv, that it was a joke of some sort, but it wasnt, and I was amazed that someone could be so dumb as to even say that stuff on tv. Well, I just hope people have more sense and better judgment…this should not be factor in people voting for or against Obama. And if it is, then they’re simple minded.

It’s good that they’re withdrawing a great majority of troops, however, all of them need to be taken out of the middle east. There is no reason for them to be there, nor are they serving any purpose being there! WAKE UP ALREADY!

Speak Spike, Speak!

Sigh, I really hope Obama wins, as for troops no fucking brainer, go back home, stop the killin, over 600,000+ Iraqi Civilians died, children, women, everyone, no one deserves that, they didn’t do shit, they shoulda just left after the saddam thing. Still no weapons, its all bullshit, its funny they only show u the soldiers who passed, but they don’t say shit about the amount of people dying in Iraq, I mean if u see underground news its a sad ass sight, children with legs/arms torn off literally, i mean the sight is def not for the squeamish. To top it all of some of these so called “Soldiers” commit war crimes and rape some of the women in Iraq, thats the exact same thing hitler did, and when he did it, it was considered wrong, now the same thing happening but no one cares. People really need to educate themselves, stop being ignorant, stop with the white black, only one race = human race. We gotta look after each other, sorta worries me cuz oil is running out, I feel like the US is gonna fuck someone else over like they’ve been doing for ages, no wonder its the most hated country statistically.. It’s not the people but the people running in government etc.. it’s also the hillbillies who have a problem with another culture, religion, race. Complete BS.

wow you people will get your switch on. That man is saying what he has been

saying for the whole 20 years Obama been going to that church. Why Spike didn’t

tell him to shut up when he was making X. Don’t be fooled people. Rev. Wright was

the homie of all these people that are telling him to hush. When Obama asked him

not to speak at his anouncment to run, but afterwards appoints him as an advisor in

his campagin he knew. Rev Wright did the same to Oprah when she left the

church in the 80’s. Obama was still there. You believe in the message where you

tithe.

I completely agree with Spike, Rev. Wright needs to sit down and be quiet for awhile. He is just hurting Obama’s campaign everytime he opens his mouth lately.

My uncle was deployed over there some months ago and I pray for his safety everyday, I am glad that they are going to start sending the troops home!!!

Oh Forgot,

Shut up Spike Lee because it sounds like some of the mess he was saying in the early 90’s before oscar winning white folks was staring in his movies.

The “white man”"devil” or “rich man” is GETTING BLACK PEOPLE MAD AT EACH OTHER!

Mr. WRIGHT shouldn’t Have to SHUT UP - HE HAS HIS RIGHT–there are others out

there talkin mess every where, but they can’t all be connected and attach to OBAMA

like Mr. WRIGHT is –

THE MEDIA is GETTING ON MY NERVES - COMPARING THE TWO and

CONNECTING HIM W/ OBAMA — THEY ARE SEPARATE PEOPLE

OBAMA has such a GOOD record - THEY couldnT Find ANYTHING badd on him,

but his PReacher–who isn’t badd, he just TELLIN the DAMN TRUTH, as HARSH as

it is!!!

DONT SELL OUT FOR THE MEDIA - THEY ARE TRYING TO DESTROY US- make

us hate on each other.

IM GLAD the TROOPs will be OUT of THERE!!! I commend them - they have been

Thru ALLLLLOTTTTTT!

I to wonder what’s with Pastor Wright and all the talking, I pray it does not hurt Obama’s campaign. As for Pastor Wright I have attended his church a couple of times and he was a guest speaker in one of my classes at Chi-State, the man is the bomb and he is a real guy….like a real type guy. I do believe with the media hyping up the stories that it makes Wright look like a big mouth etc….like I say he speaks volumes, no different then a lot of Pastor’s in churches. The difference is that he so happened to be Obama’s Pastor, and Pastor of one of Chicago’s biggest congregations and someone caught footage on their camera phones or his weekly tapings and set it off.

17 thank you

CABLE NEWS IS RUNNIN THIS MEDIA GAME. THEY’LL TALK FOR HOURS AND HOURS ON END ABOUT WRIGHT BUT WONT SAY SHIT ABOUT RACIST ASS JOHN MCCAIN’S PREACHER WHO SAID CATHOLICS ARE WHORES AND SLAVERY WAS THE BEST TIME PERIOD FOR BLACKS. RACISTS ASS NEWS COMPANIES KNOW WASSUP.

Go Obama—-
The Wright issue I think he should have just stopped with the Bill Moyers interview for now…
Spike is speaking the truth.. But ya’ll know how the media plays they will keep anything involving high profile black people in the news forever and wear the ish out. Ya’ll know how they do us while they sweep their ish under the rug.. I can’t stand it cos I could do a mini sample study of how they report black news vs any other race. And they we cant even get along as black people to begin with.. But i’m guilty of not getting along my black brothers and sisters too if I must be honest.

The worst part of this whole situation with Rev. Wright is that for all of the good he has done, for all of his achievements and accomplishments, his legacy will be about this whole Obama mess. And That’s a shame….

I’m disappointed in Spike Lee for expecting us to believe he thinks the solution is that simple, and for failing to consider that his own rise to influence came through - lest we all forget - his willingness to speak truth to power!

Even IF you can get Wright to be silent, I don’t understand how you can logically expect it to actually benefit Obama’s support base. Consider this: Wright spoke before the NAACP; he’s also undoubtedly spoken before many Black interest groups since then, only off-camera. Do you think that a significant number of those people will not be voting for Obama, because they clapped and cheered for Wright? Bringing the matter closer to home, will any of YOU be deciding not to vote for Obama because you’ve been exposed to Wright and his cunning trickery?

To take a look at Obama’s non-Black support base, it makes little sense to assume that these people (who have looked past a host of other differences between themselves and Obama in order to support him in the first place) would need only an inflammatory comment or two from the man’s pastor to abandon ship.

If anyone doesn’t support Barack Obama today, it is most likely because they didn’t support him before they ever knew who Jeremiah Wright was. Don’t be gullible. No one is paying Wright to speak, either. Why? Because they realize that his vocality is not pivotal to the direction of this election, it is not WORTH paying for.

R.I.P. to all the soldiers that have lost their lives in unnecessary war.

now this has turned into an attack on the black church ; i say bullpudd’n the black church in my opinion has gotten off course . all diffrent kinds of religious sects clashing. thinking one is more superior than the other, it is a division right in our on back yard . apostolics doing their thing . baptist off into their world, methodist , and other sects all over the globe. jockeying to see who’s the best . preachers living high on the hog , its getting to their heads. they look at the large mega churches and they head gets big to . now rev wright runs out front and digs a hole for obama and if he wasn’t a publicity hound most of the white blacklash might of blown over. a lady asked me do i go to church i replied i’ve had my full of church its to transparent. but i won’t turn my back on god. he see’s all the jack-legged preachers, mininsters etc….. you know who you are. and all you high-minded church folks know i’am not lieing . belonging to your fraternal org. who controls who . who’s zoom’n who. take that inventory all you high and mighty folks . god knows what you do before you do. this is not an attack on black anthing its only serves as your wake-up call all ye divided black folks. rev. wright gets to retire , a gift from his parrishners to the lily white afflent neighborhood of the same people thats we are getting the BLACKLASH FROM. WOW this is to deep.

Thanks Spike I totally agree, we may never see this again for 100 years Wright, have a damn seat!

YES REV WRIGHT PLEASE SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But one think it do know is Rev did speak the truth in those sermons though. and maybe for white people it was the first time they heard about some of the stuff he was talking about. But I know I heard it before. They kill when they hear something.. Well what does this mean… blah blah blah

Please shut up Rev. Wright… at least for right now DANG!!! I actually agree with a lot, though NOT ALL of what he says. But there’s a time and place for all things and this just isn’t the time NOR the place.

I have had the pleasure of seeing Reverend Wright preach and I must say his message has always been virtually the same over the years. The only difference is now what he’s saying is no longer in the confines of church, its being broadcasted all over the country. With that being said, I find it funny Obama denounces his pastor for years when obviously his message must appeal to him if he has been his pastor for years. I will say that I remember Wrights sermons being a little more political than religious. I don’t completely understand Wright’s motives right now though.

Obama won in my state NC! WAY TO GO!!

Anyway, Wright is fucking up big time but idk know if he’s being PAID. Has he said anything since that time? The situation itself is over. People like Spike (even though I realize he didn’t mean any harm) are keeping it alive by constant dwelling over it. He said what he had to say and so far isn’t saying anything else. Let’s just move forward and focus on Obama WINNING!

thank you lord for the departure of those soilders…….i’m sorry that was about the only important thing to me

The good REV told the truth whether the uncle Toms of this land agree with it or not. Obama has to kiss whitey arse now. He has to dance by their music. Like Martin said. If you can’t stand for something then you’ll fall for anything. Black folks today will support any wimpy, character, black or white but whites will NOT.

Looks like Spike has evolved, speaking of Obama being a “unifier.” Spike used to be black segregationist. Wakeup folks, “we” get nowhere without the help of others, ain’t enough of us. And while we claim Obama, his mom is white, so he’s a natural for trying to bring people together.

I don’t believe that story on the departure of the soldiers. My husband is being deployed next week to Iraq for at least 6 months.

@39 Very Interesting!!!! There it is Living Proof…..government has lied–lets see how it turns out though 4 tha troops.

I WAS WAITING ON WHO THE FIRST BLACK CELEB WOULD BE TO SAY WHAT SPIKE SAID…

4,000 TROOPS HAVE DIED…NUFF SAID!

AS FOR THE OTHER TOPIC, I RIDE THE BUS. EHH.

Thats why I like spike,He speaks the truth.

And thats good about the troops.I wish they could send everyone home..NOW!

i think spike is right on the money! something is very fishy about rev. wright’s motives. and i guarantee you it will all come to light at some point.

congrats to obama winning north carolina!

alright spike!

Yeah, I wish Wright would “DO THE WRIGHT THING” and STFU!!!!! He apparently is not under the influence of God and is letting his flesh (ego,greed,power) get in the way. It is sad that Obama cant even get the support of his own people. For years, parents have been telling their black children that they can be the President if they so desire and now as close as we are, once again, the blacks are hating on themselves. Why do we hate ourselves sooo much?

Please remove the caption “marine solider” You’re either a marine or a solider. It’s very insulting to call a marine a solider.

Preach Spike Preach. What can I say but he says the TRUTH.

I heard the person who asked Wright to speak at the Press Club is a staunch Hilary Clinton supporter and apart of her politico machine. These are the kinds of things that makes me question how low she is willing to go for the nomination. I am sorry but I do need a president who has a moral compass not just a will to win.

the one has spoken and lets shut this ish down and get Obama to November.

Funny how the republican president and party now see its important to withdraw troops right around election time. Wasnt our threat to security also high right around the last election in 2002. Its funny how that works.

THANKS BILL!!!

I agree with Spike. I think that Obama will bring the US new respect from all over the world. Here in Europe public opinion on America has never been so low.

I’m glad someone finally expressed the truth about Jeremiah, because he just seems to love the camera and he does appear to be intentionally sabotaging Barack!

I said that from the beginning. I have never heard in any other campaign where they continuously focus on the candidate’s pastor and church. Hil said dig up what you can even if he spit on the sidewalk at age 2.

Yeah I agree with the obvious convenience at this time to withdraw the troops! See slick Bush always does something while we supposedly aren’t looking this under the guise of the “Republican Party” (aka the good old boys)… planning and plotting all the time….

I wish that someone can get Rev. Jerimiah Wright to see the “Big Picture”.

Rev. Jerimiah Wright can preach all he likes, but he really should keep Barack Obama’s Name out of his mouth for the time being….

Rev.Wright is hurting Obama’s Chance of being elected.

I wonder why he doesn’t see that…
I would suspect that Rev. Wright’s EGO has a lot to do with his posturing..

EVERYBODY, EVERYBODY!!! ESPECIALLY SPIKE LEE NEEDS TO SHUT THE HELL UP ABOUT JEREMIAH WRIGHT. STOP TALKING TO MAGAZINES, STOP MAKING THIS MAN JEREMIAH WRIGHT A SUBJECT OF CONVERSATION. JEREMIAH WRIGHT IS NOT RELEVENT TO THIS PRESIDENTIAL RACE, AND IF SPIKE LEE WANT JEREMIAH TO DISAPPERA HE NEED TO LET HIM DO THAT, AND STOP BRINGING HIM UP IN INTERVIEWS, BEACSUE THIS IS ALL THE STUPID MAINSTREAM PRESS WANTS, THEY WANT SOMEONE LIKE SPIKE LEE TO BRING UP JEREMIAH WRIGHT, SO THEY HAVE AN EXCUSE, AND WILL FEEL JUSTIFIED TO TALK ABOUT JEREMIAH WRIGHT, AND MAKE HIM AN ISSUE AGAIN.

JUST SHUT IT UP SPIKE, FOCUS ON ISSUES, AND STOP THE STUPID SPECULATIONS, AND INSIUATIONS, AND STOP THE DUMB PUBLICITY TOUR YOURSELF. WE KNOW YOU LIKE THE SPOTLIGHT TOO, BUT USE IT TO TALK ABOUT THE ISSUES OF THIS CAMPAIGN, OR TALK ABOUT A MOVIE YOU HAVE COMING OUT, OTHERWISE SHUT IT UP!!!!

Big-ups to Spike Lee, he knows what it is!

No Spike STFU and go make a damn movie that you didn’t write so people will see it

Rev Jeremiah is totally defeating and undoing all of the work he has done in the Black community. You mean to tell me that his ego is that big that he can’t see the BIGGER picture.

Obama supported him when he was doing his community work but now he can’t return the favor. And Rev, we are smarter than you think. This is not an attack on the Black church.

#37 you can not be serious? I don’t think ppl are disagreeing with the content of Rev’s message. He did not lie. Michael Moore even acknowledged that. I am no where near Rev’s age so I didn’t experience the blatant racism of his era. I can’t say what he should and should not say. Even more so, White Americans really should not be telling a Black elderly man how he should feel and express his experience.

But the timing was/is horrible. A lot of Americans I believe would feel betrayed if they voted for Obama and he got in office and talked about race, race, race. Yes there is still a lot of racism but it must not be that bad with the success he is and will continue to have.

So, no we are not Uncle Toms. Rev Wright is actually acting Uncle Tomish. Bob Johnson is an excellent example of an Uncle Timmy.

[...] Spike Lee agrees with me, we both want Rev. Jeremiah Wright to SHUT UP. No dis to his views, because I agree, but it’s about timing Rev. [CL] [...]
