Many church leaders from across the nation and world support Rev. Wright. One of those that support him is Hillary Clinton's pastor. In case you missed it one of the greatest evangelist of our times Rev. Graham had the ear of about three presidents. The religious right has been one of the leading forces in politics the last 15 years.
It is so silly to say that your church preaches only about God. You cannot preach about God and not relate it to how you treat people. There is no relationship with God without love toward your fellow person. In the book of James the question is asked "how can you love a God you can't see and hate your brother who you can see." Paul says if you take communion but have a problem with your neighbor you are bringing condemnation on the whole body. Jesus says what you have done unto the least of these you have done unto me. He also said The firs commandment is to love God and the second is like unto it love thy neighbor as thyself on these to commands hang all the laws and the prophets. So a preacher who does not talk about the way the government is working, or things that divide people, the poor, abortion and abortion rights, sex,health,teh enviroment, and a host of other issues is not preaching the word of God because the are these issues effect us all. Understand most of the sins we all commit are not in vaccum they are against someone. This is why so many religious leaders leaders across the board said the exact same thing that Rev. Wright said. That America's exported violence came home to roost.
But in fact I take it you did not even listen to all of Rev. Wright's sermon because the main premise was not against whites or the country but who do you put your trust in. He said you have to put your trust in God.
