Jeremiah v. Jeremiah
Giving Jeremiah Wright the benefit of the doubt, I considered his "prophetic" statements in regard to the actual book of Jeremiah.
According to the prophet Jeremiah, in the book of Jeremiah, God is indeed very angry, but he is angry about specific things.
1. Harlotry. God is very angry at the presence of prostitution in the land. Are WHITES the only people in America who practice harlotry? No. So if God is angry at America for the presensce of harlotry, then he must be at least as angry at black Americans as at white Americans.
2. Crime. God is very angry that his commandments are not being followed. The most basic commandments are the 10 commandments, which are roughly the basis of America's civil law.
Again, are WHITES the only people who commit crimes? No. In fact, the crime rate is much higher among blacks than whites. So once again, if God is angry about crime, then he is just as angry at black Americans as at white Americans.
3. Does God really want to DESTROY America? I think not. If God really wanted to DESTROY America, then he would have done it already. Just as he did to Sodom and Gomorrah. He could have given the Germans or the Japanese the A-bomb, and they could have destroyed America.
The truth is that God has his prophets give WARNINGS in order to get the people to act properly. If God really wanted to destroy America, he could do it at any time, as at Sodom and Gomorrah.
So illustrates that the greatest problem with Jeremiah Wright's "prophecy" is that Blacks are 100% good and Whites are 100% bad. That is not the case. The goodness or badness of people is not related to their skin color.
As far as Obama goes, he needs to apply the same logic to himself that he inflicted on Hillary. When Hillary admitted that she "made a mistake" by supporting the war, Obama claimed this showed she had "bad judgement".
So, is this Jeremiah Wright case not identical? Obama attended these racist, neo-communist, screamfests every week for 20 years. Now he suddenly says that this was a mistake and he did not agree with the sermons. Does this not reveal very bad judgement on his part?
