In a recent sermon delivered Sunday President-elect Barack Obama former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, referred to one of his harshest critics, co-host of ABC's morning show "The View" Elisabeth Hasselbeck, as "that dumb broad."
Besides singing, mincing, and speaking at Trinity United Church of Christ during its church anniversary, retired Wright reiterated over and over referring to Hasselback as being a "broad" but most times as "that dumb broad"
Wright expressed pride in Obama's longtime association with Trinity United Church of Christ, where he recently retired after serving 36 years as senior pastor, but was still very opinionated of the president-elects decision for abandoning the church.
“The hatred of the media and the haters in politics may have caused him to distance himself from us, but the love of Christ will never allow me to distance myself from him,' Wright said of Obama. "I can no more disown him than I can disown any other child of mine who makes [a] bad decision. He made a bad decision, but he's still my child."
Just when you think that hes stopped....something else flares up.
Meanwhile, on the episode of the ABC talk show "The View" on Monday, Hasselbeck characterized Wright’s remarks as both sexist and small-minded.

Another senseless act of Racism
Paris, Texas in the month of September, 24-year old Brandon McClelland, a black man was hit by a pickup truck driven by two White men, and dragged until his body tore literlaly into pieces. The McClelland incident comes 10 years after James Byrd was killed in Jasper, another east Texas town. For those that may not recall the incident, Byrd was chained to the back of a pickup truck and dragged for three miles. Since the recent dragging death of Brandon McClelland, various members of the New Black Panther Party along with the Nation of Islam recently met at a Lamar County Courthouse to bring attention to the "lynching" case of McClelland. During the trip to the courthouse, over 200 protesters joined the parties chanting "No justice, No peace." Paris, TX is a town that is known for its tense relationships between Blacks and Whites. So far, authorities are saying that the two suspects purposely ran over and killed McClelland after an argument took place while the three were on their way home from a beer run.
McClelland's body was dragged about 70 feet beneath a pickup truck, and even with all of the visible evidence, authorities are still disputing that racism was the reasoning behind McClelland's death. Repeadeatly stating the victims long time friendship with the two suspects, authorities are also comparing McClelland's death with Byrd's, stating that he was ran over, and not chained to the back of a truck as Byrd was.
Do you think that this was a senseless act? -OR- Do you believe that this is another case of racisim?

Within 24 hours...two teachers
Within 24 hours two teachers, one from a Dallas school and the other from a Grand Prarie school have both been accused of having sex with a student. A Grand Prarie teacher has been arrested on charges that "HE" had sex with a 12-year old boy. The teacher from the Dallas area school has been accused of having sex with a 14-year old girl in a school classroom. What is wrong with this teaching system? I don't understand how a 26-year old teacher can have sex with a 14-year old student. Did she consent to it?? Of course she did and let me guess....later he pissed her off and what does she decide to do??? She jumps up and tells mommy and daddy about what happened, and of course they call the authorities. Now don't get me wrong the teacher is the first person to blame for this thoughtless act, but then again he didn't force a gun to her head did he? But on the otherhand this negative minded, perverted so called male teacher that takes advantage of a 12-year old boy is just sick. Sick, Sick, Sick. It's time for us to wake up people, and to become involved in the lives of your children, and teenagers. Communication is the key..... It makes me sick to my stomache to wake up two days straight, and to have to read the top story in the newspaper regarding teachers sleeping with students. For those readers that may be teachers or involved within a school district, something must be done to prevent these stories from repeating themselves, and to all of those sick grown men that somehow get a thrill from babies that might be reading this blog "GROW UP" and get some help.
