Wright vs Wrong

I know this may b beatin the topical dead horse, but I'm sure Obama opponents an' the politrik pundents will resurrect it again b4 November

Wright vs Wrong​

politicians run on platforms
of conservative rights an’ wrongs,
pit the beliefs of their constituents
gainst the rights of gays an’ immigrants
while trollin airport stalls
but Jeremiah Wright is wrong

the church protected
pedophile priest 4 decades
while it demonized
AIDs as a plague against gays
but Jeremiah Wright is wrong

Debra Lafave
got no time 4 sex with the underage
cause she was 2 pretty 2 go 2 jail
but Jeremiah Wright is wrong

Genarlow Wilson did,
2 years of a 10 year bid
4 consented sex tween adolescents
but Jeremiah Wright is wrong

Wesley Snipes got 3 years 4 tax evasion
while Willie Nelson
settled his $19 million debt 4 a song,
an’ Joe Louis, with all he gave the USofA
still went 2 his grave owin the IRS
but Jeremiah Wright is wrong

Jennifer Porter got probation and house arrest
subsequent, leavin the scene of an “accident”
with 2 black children dead
but Jeremiah Wright is wrong

Sean Bell Amadou Diallo an’ Alberta Spruill
were all killed by the NYPD who got off scot-free
but Jeremiah Wright is wrong

Kathryn Johnson was 92 years old
died alone n her home, n a hail of bullets
from a drug raid gone wrong
the police planted drugs an’ falsified evidence
but Jeremiah Wright is wrong

James Woodard spent 27 years in prison
4 a crime he didn’t commit
cause the prosecution withheld evidence
vital 2 his defense
but Jeremiah Wright is wrong

Megan Williams was tortured an’ raped
by six pale defendants
whose prosecution was resistant
2 call the crime hate
yet Jeremiah Wright is wrong

John McCain courts 4 financial support
an extremist religious right
that is 2nd amendment an’ pro-life
calls Islam a false religion
an’ Catholicism, “the great whore”
believes Katrina was God’s curse on New Orleans
4 bein a modern day Sodom an’ Gomorrah
but Jeremiah Wright is wrong

an’ I could go on cite chapter an’ verse
from ante bellum 2 9-11
but they won’t hear it,
cause they exhibit no ethics
cept when printed on monuments
an’ documents 4 public presence
suffer from selective amnesia
tend 2 4get the past an’ ignore the present
‘cept when it serves their best interest
c these events as separate incidents
instead of systematic evidence
of a society created unequal
that continues 2 abuse its people.

so we hear no c no speak no evil
an’ this is no endorsement or judgment
of Wright or his vision
but a condemnation, of our inclination
2 time spent on the insignificant,
on star gazin an’ idle worship
while the innocent suffer indignant ignorance
an’ we continue 2 expect a difference
while doin the same ole thing
singin the same ole song
jus so long, as right continues 2 b wrong

I would say this, and be done with the Wright situation. Wright was only wrong with the fact that this is still a racist country. This country has done way more to fix racism then establish racism. The part Wright left out is the fact that success destroys racism as a whole. If we are successful, racism tends to fall by the wayside. Greatness shines over any hatred. However, he rather whine and complain on how this country made mistakes. NEWSFLASH, every country has pretty much a questionable past. So whats the point of trying to pinpoint ours?

I tell you the point. He is trying to make you feel bad for YOUR country to gain power. Nothing more, and nothing less. While you are supporting him by going to his website, visiting his church, ect, he is investing on the side. He is using the pulpit to further is political gain *which is fuck up if you asked me*. He is fucking with your emotions *while using hatred no different than many right wing groups* to get you wiled up about "racism". In other words, he is taking Rev. Jackson and Sharpton's place.

Yet, if I say this, I'm now deemed as an "uncle tom". Nigga please!
