Gospel According To Wright</a></h2><br>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">By <a href="http://spectator.org/people/charles-c-johnson">Charles
C. Johnson</a> from the <a href="http://spectator.org/issues/decemberjanuary">December/January</a>
issue (The American Spectator Archives 2011/12/09)</p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">How much of Pastor
Jeremiah Wright's race-based "theology" does Barack Obama
really share?</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">In
2008 America elected a president whose pastor for 20 years preached
anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, advocated bizarre pseudo-scientific
racial ideas, opposed interracial marriage, praised communist
dictatorships, denounced black "assimilation," and taught
Afrocentric feel-good nonsense to schoolchildren. When Americans
discovered the Rev. Jeremiah Wright's views during the 2008 campaign,
they rightly wondered if Barack Obama, like his pastor, really
believed that HIV/AIDS was created by the American government to kill
black people. Even to this day, no one knows for sure whether Obama
shares the views of Wright, whom the <em>Chicago Sun-Times</em> once
described as Obama's "close confidant."</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">Candidate Obama
tried to dismiss his support for Wright, telling Charlie Gibson of
ABC News, "It's as if we took the five dumbest things that I
ever said or you ever said…in our lives and compressed them, and
put them out there, you know, I think that people's reaction, would
be understandably upset." And rightly so. In sermon after
sermon, Wright's radical black nationalist ideas were clearly and
emphatically stated. They were not an aberration, but the focal point
of Pastor Wright's Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, where
Obama was an active member for 20 years.</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">Nor has Wright
renounced any of his anti-Americanism. In a sermon last September 16
marking the 10th anniversary of 9/11 entitled, "The Day of
Jerusalem's Fall," Wright seemed to celebrate white America's
comeuppance. "We bombed Hiroshima. We bombed Nagasaki. And we
nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon--and
we never batted an eye!" Wright preached. "We supported
state terrorism against the Palestinians and black south Africans and
now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now
brought right back into our own front yards." He closed,
invoking Malcolm X's statement about the assassination of J.F.K,
"America's chickens! Coming home! To roost!" White America,
he was saying, had gotten its just deserts.</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">Candidate Obama
tried to distance himself from Wright's more damning comments. But,
crucially, he didn't disown the pastor himself. In fact, in his rise
to political fame, he had made Wright's sermons his own, drawing on
Wright's "Audacity to Hope" sermon and appropriating its
theme for his political coming-out speech at the Democratic National
Convention in Boston in 2004. He even borrowed the sermon's title for
his second autobiography, <em>The Audacity of Hope</em>, in a bid to
get Wright and other black churches to support his candidacy.</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">The question is why
Barack Obama, raised without any faith at all, chose one of the most
incendiary preachers in Black America to preach the word of God to
him. Wright became, in Obama's words, "like family to me.
[Wright] strengthened my faith, officiated my wedding, and baptized
my children." Obama told a group of ministers in June 2007 that
Wright helped "introduce me to my Christian faith." But
what, exactly, is Barack Obama's faith? Just as important, what is
Jeremiah Wright's?</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">JEREMIAH WRIGHT WAS
BORN on September 22, 1941, in Germantown, a racially mixed,
middle-class Philadelphia suburb. His father, Jeremiah Wright, Sr.,
became the minister of the local Grace Baptist Church in 1938 and
served there for 42 years. His mother, Mary Elizabeth Henderson
Wright, was a schoolteacher who eventually became the first black
vice-principal at the Philadelphia High School for Girls, one of the
city's top-performing magnet schools.</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">Education mattered
deeply to the Wrights. They helped their son with his homework while
they bettered themselves with part-time courses. They enrolled him at
Central High School, an all-male magnet establishment considered
among the nation's best public schools at the time. It was 90 percent
white. The class yearbook announced, "Always ready with a kind
word, Jerry is one of the most congenial members [of his class]."
But Wright himself dismissed that period of congeniality in a later
sermon. "I used to let my behavior be determined by the white
world's expectations," he recalled ruefully.</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">The young Jeremiah
was off to a promising start, but at age 15 was arrested for grand
larceny auto theft. His parents sent him to the all-black Virginia
Union University. But Wright quit after two years and joined the
Marines. Wright later said he hated being educated at "black
schools founded by white missionaries." Still, during his short
time at VUU he met fellow students who made a lasting impression: a
young PhD student named John Kinney who had studied under both Martin
Luther King, Jr., and James Cone, the founder of black liberation
theology; and Samuel DeWitt Proctor, a longtime friend and mentor of
King.</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">After quitting the
Marines, Wright joined the Navy, where he served for four years. He
was stationed mostly in Washington D.C., and was there to help
operate on President Lyndon B. Johnson as a cardiopulmonary
technician before enrolling in college again at Howard University,
earning a bachelor's degree in 1968 and a master's in English in
1969. At Howard, Wright heard firebrand Stokely Carmichael, a.k.a.
Kwame Ture, lecture on black power. He was further influenced by
Cheikh Anta Diop's racialist tomes advancing Afrocentrism, the theory
that Africa was the cradle of modern civilization. After that, it was
off to the University of Chicago Divinity School for six years. Then
Wright, 31, joined Trinity United Church of Christ as pastor on March
1, 1972. In his provocative words, "the fun began."</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">Trinity, on its
last legs when Wright joined it, was an odd choice. After all, as
Bill Moyers of PBS recalls in his new book, <em>Bill Moyers Journal:
The Conversation Continues</em>, Wright "could have had his pick
of large, prosperous congregations, but instead chose one with only
87 members in a largely black neighborhood" of Chicago. Wright
often compared Chicago to apartheid-era South Africa: "Just as
Blacks could not be caught inside the city of Johannesburg after
dark…the same held true for Blacks on the Southside of Chicago."
Breaking with his parents' Baptist denomination, Wright recognized
that at Trinity he could have complete authority to implement his
vision.</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">There were, of
course, impediments to that goal, not least his white colleagues.
Many couldn't understand his love of black-style worship or emphasis
on the role of Africans in biblical history. Wright recalls nearly
coming to blows in 1978 with a white associate minister who called
his church a "cult" and derided him for having a "big
ego."</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">TWENTY-TWO BLACK
church members who did not like the direction in which Wright was
taking Trinity lodged a complaint with the UCC, then left the church.
Wright attacked them as Uncle Toms "running to ‘massa' to tell
a white man what they thought was happening to their Negro church."
He had nothing but contempt for these middle-class blacks. They were,
he noted, "bourgeois Negroes who wanted to be white."
Wright considered himself a "new Black who is not ashamed of his
Blackness."</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">Wright had come
under the sway of the writings of James Cone, a professor of
divinity, father of the black theology movement and author of the
seminal <em>Black Theology and Black Power</em> (1969). Cone taught
that Christianity needed to be freed from "whiteness." He
and Wright conceived of a Christianity in which black rage and the
black power ideology fused with Marxist thought. According to Cone,
"black people must find ways of affirming black dignity which do
not include relating to whites on white terms." Integration was
impossible because it was brought about by "black naïveté"
and "white guilt." Cone approvingly quoted Malcolm X: "The
worst crime the white man has committed has been to teach us to hate
ourselves." Freeing blacks would require getting them to love
their inner African and Wright would do just that--Trinity's longtime
parishioners be damned.</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">Trinity gave Wright
a chance to introduce ordinary blacks to these writings. During the
initial media dustup over Wright's views in 2007, the media couldn't
understand Wright's, or Obama's, Christianity because they couldn't
understand the underlying phenomenon of black liberation theology.</p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">It didn't help that
the mainstream media had decided to take the issue of Obama's faith
off the table. The <em>New York Times</em> ludicrously editorialized
in 2008 that Obama's "religious connection" with Wright
"should be none of the voters' business." Unlike George W.
Bush, Obama wouldn't "carry religion into government," the
<em>Times</em> promised. In fact, Obama often invokes religion in
areas--health care and economics--where it isn't normally mentioned.
An analysis by <em>Politico</em> found that Obama invoked Jesus far
more than George W. Bush did, and cited the Sermon on the Mount to
make the case for his economic policies.</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">Wright was Obama's
missionary in a sense, so it is worth looking at how he educated his
parishioners. "I had as my goal in starting a weekly Bible class
the idea of connecting the study of God's Word to where it is we
lived as Black people in Chicago in 1972," he recalled. It would
be the Gospel according to Wright. Trinity's slogan would be
"Unapologetically Black and Unapologetically Christian." It
was to be black first and Christian second. Preaching black theology,
Wright made his dashiki-wearing flock the largest--and
blackest--church in the largely white UCC.</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">In his
church-associated Kwame Nkrumah Academy, the congregation's children
learned such canards as the claim that "[h]istorically,
Europeans tried to build themselves up by tearing down all that
Africans had done." Obama biographer David Remnick notes that
Obama approved of this "African-centered" grade school,
where Wright's God loves all people, but black people especially. And
why shouldn't he? Jesus, Wright taught, was "an African Jew,"
as were most of the figures of the Bible. As Wright said in <em>Africans
Who Shaped Our Faith</em> (1995), "evidence exists within and
outside of the Bible to support the notion that the people of
Israel…were of African descent!"</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">It is in this
context that Wright's comments on Zionism should be seen. Attacking
Israel's right to exist, Wright held that "[t]he Israelis have
illegally occupied Palestinian territories for more than 40 years
now." America, by defending Zionism and its apartheid-like
regime, had too long practiced "unquestioning" support of
Zionism. Given his hostility to Zionism and non-"African"
Jews, it wasn't surprising that Wright's anti-Semitism reared its
ugly head in June 2009. "Them Jews ain't going to let him talk
to me," he told the <em>Daily Press</em> of Hampton Roads,
Virginia. They were "controlling" Obama and therefore
preventing the United States from sending a delegation to an
anti-racism United Nations conference. (America boycotted it on the
grounds that it would descend into an anti-Jew hate fest as it had in
previous years.)</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">Wright remained
loyal to Malcolm X (Trinity United Church celebrates his birthday)
and to Louis Farrakhan.</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">Wright even joined
Farrakhan on a trip to meet with the latter's benefactor, Muammar
Gaddafi, in 1984. (Wright has also routinely bragged about his trips
to Castro's Cuba and Ortega's Nicaragua. He predicted that his trip
to Libya would cause trouble for Obama in 2008: "When [Obama's]
enemies find out that in 1984 I went to Tripoli to visit [Gaddafi]
with Farrakhan, a lot of his Jewish support will dry up quicker than
a snowball in hell," he said.)</p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">To further his
claim that the white man was an active enemy of the black man, Wright
has often recommended a favorite book of the Nation of Islam,
<em>Emerging Viruses: AIDS and Ebola: Nature, Accident, or
Intentional?</em> (1996), a self-published screed by Leonard G.
Horowitz, a conspiracy theorist and former dentist, who argues that
HIV began as a biological weapons project. "Based on this
Tuskegee syphilis experiment and based on what has happened to
Africans in this country, I believe our government is capable of
doing anything." As white people were responsible for the makeup
of its government, white America bore a collective guilt, Wright
said. It could not accept a black man as president of "this
racist United States of America," "the United States of
White America," and "the U.S. of KKK-A."</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">WRIGHT GOT ON
OBAMA'S BUS early, in the mid-1980s, when he supported Obama's
efforts to organize blacks for "social change" (i.e., to
increase government welfare), and only left in 2008 when there was an
increasingly serious chance of his winning the Democratic nomination
and becoming president. It was, after all, Hillary Clinton--not John
McCain--who used Wright as a campaign issue against Obama.</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">Wright had remained
on the bus for so long because his friendship gave Obama an
authenticity on the South Side that he otherwise lacked as a highly
educated black man who grew up in white and multiracial environments.
Had Obama not successfully defined himself as an ordinary African
American, had he not worked the streets on poverty wages, his
political career probably would have gone nowhere.</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">Obama came to join
Wright's church in a roundabout way, as Stanley Kurtz argues in his
well-researched <em>Radical-in-Chief</em> (2010). We don't know if he
encountered Wright before he moved to Chicago, but it seems safe to
assume he had. David Remnick recounts a significant meeting between
the young Obama and Pastor Alvin Love of Lilydale First Baptist
Church in Chicago. Obama and Love had organized blacks through the
churches starting in 1985, so "[Obama] knew it was inconsistent
to be a church-based organizer without being a member of any church,
and he was feeling that pressure," according to Love. "He
said, 'I believe, but…I want to be serious and be comfortable
wherever I join.'" A pastor whom Love recommended--Pastor L. K.
Curry--suggested that Obama meet Jeremiah Wright. Obama apparently
liked what he saw at their meeting and he began to attend Trinity in
1988.</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">Obama's decision to
join Trinity was very much one of convenience. Even though he plotted
his every move, we're supposed to believe that he just happened to
join the largest black church in America, whose pastor had a record
for getting blacks elected to higher office. (In 1983, Wright led a
coalition of black churches to help elect Harold Washington as the
first black mayor of Chicago.) Obama liked to try out his ideas on
Wright. "What I value most about Pastor Wright is not his
day-to-day political advice," he told the <em>Chicago Tribune</em>
in January 2007. "He's much more of a sounding board for me to
make sure that I am speaking as truthfully about what I believe as
possible and that I'm not losing myself in some of the hype and
hoopla and stress that's involved in national politics." Wright
was a means to an end.</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">Steeped in Marxist
thought and the community organizing tactics of the radical Saul
Alinsky, Obama was probably comfortable with the view that religion
was the opiate of the masses and black liberation theology the opiate
of blacks. Trinity Church is a place where black movers and shakers
congregate. "My commitment is to the church, not to a pastor,"
Obama said in May 2008. But left unsaid was just what the members of
that church believed.</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">According to
Wright, leading members have included Jawanza Kunjufu (author of
<em>Countering the Conspiracy to Destroy Black Boys</em>, which
blames, among other things, interracial marriage), Iva Carruthers
(who coined the term "Afrocentric" and whose work at the
Jew-hating Durban Conference on Racism Wright enthusiastically
endorses), and Bobby Wright, psychologist and author of <em>The
Psychopathic Racial Personality</em>, which argues that white
attitudes toward blacks are psychopathic. Other influential members
include the black entertainment elite, like the rapper Common and
Oprah Winfrey.</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">Winfrey, who joined
the church in the mid-'80s, eventually left in the early '90s. An
article entitled "Something Wasn't Wright" in the May 12,
2008, issue of <em>Newsweek</em> explains that she knew Wright's
rants were too radical for her fans. Interestingly, though Oprah
endorsed Obama and helped catapult his books to the top of the
bestseller lists, she has declined to endorse him for 2012.</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">Common frequented
Wright's pews, occasionally rapping for its congregants. With
Wright's approval, Common even "free-styled sermons"
against interracial marriage in 2005 when the Obamas were attending
Trinity nearly every Sunday. (Perhaps that's why Michelle Obama
invited Common to perform at the White House in May 2011.)</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">Growing up in a
heavily "segregated" Chicago, Common noted, you had to
"enforce" black culture.</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">Ironically,
Wright's Afrocentrism, implicit segregationism, and explicit reverse
racism didn't prevent him from retiring to a $1.6 million home his
church built for him in the lily-white Tinley Park neighborhood in
2008. The luxurious four-bedroom house features an elevator, a
butler's pantry, exercise room, four-car garage, master bedroom with
a whirlpool, and spare room for a future theater or swimming pool. It
abuts the Odyssey Country Club and golf course. (Its mortgage was
paid for by the corrupt ShoreBank, with which Wright, along with most
of the Chicago black elite, always had a cozy relationship before it
went bust in 2010.)</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">WHERE DID OBAMA FIT
in all of this? It seems he too rejected assimilation in favor of
Wright's separate-but-equal-yet-superior status for black Americans.
A December 1995 article, "What Makes Obama Run," by Hank De
Zutter in the <em>Chicago Reader</em>, a local black newspaper,
suggests as much in its profile of Obama's first bid for the Illinois
Senate. Obama, thanks to Reverend Wright's Trinity Church, "learned
that integration was a one-way street, with blacks expected to
assimilate into a white world that never gave ground." Obama
bristled at the "unrealistic politics of integrationist
assimilation which helps a few upwardly mobile blacks ‘move up, get
rich, and move out.'"</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">Obama was merely
following the teachings of Wright when he railed at Trinity against
corporations that, Wright explains in his history of Trinity,
"discriminated against women, corporations that discriminated
against Blacks and Browns, corporations that supported sweatshops in
Third World countries and corporations which stood in direct
opposition to the Gospel of Jesus Christ." Capitalism was part
of what led to slavery, Wright had argued. He often mentioned the
black sociologist Chancellor Williams's jeremiad, <em>The Destruction
of Black Civilization</em>, which argues that African civilization
was destroyed by the acquisitiveness--the capitalist nature--of white
European civilization.</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">But when Wright
became too embarrassing, it was time for Obama to distance himself
from him. That was the not so subtle message behind Obama's "More
Perfect Union" speech in March 2008 in which he rejected Wright,
not because he disagreed with him, but he had to protect himself from
the charge that Wright and Trinity disliked white people. "Not
once in my conversations with him have I heard him talk about any
ethnic group in derogatory terms, or treat whites with whom he
interacted with anything but courtesy and respect," Obama
improbably claimed. The speech, much celebrated and quickly
forgotten, did what it had to do: it derailed the whiteness issue as
a campaign issue.</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">And yet Obama never
explicitly rejected the black power, anti-capitalist core of Wright's
teachings. That includes beliefs like Wright's credo that "White
folks' greed runs the world in need." For all Obama's talk, he
can't claim to never have heard Wright say it. Obama titled his
second book, <em>The Audacity of Hope</em>, after the very sermon
where that line appears. Candidate Obama's declared intention to
"spread the wealth around" echoed what he had absorbed at
those Trinity sermons. Now President Obama's thinking clearly shows
the same imprint, as when he preaches that "at a certain point
you've made enough money."</p><p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in"><br></p>
<p style="margin-top:0.01in;margin-bottom:0in">"Rev. Jeremiah
A. Wright, Jr., took me on another journey," Obama once said. He
merrily went along, every step of the way. </p>
