An ABC News review of dozens of Rev. Wright's sermons, offered
for sale by the church, found repeated denunciations of the U.S.
based on what he described as his reading of the Gospels and the
treatment of black
Americans.
"The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons,
passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless
America.' No, no, no, God damn America, that's in the Bible for
killing innocent people," he said in a 2003 sermon. "God damn
America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn
America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is
supreme."
In addition to damning America, he told his congregation on the
Sunday after Sept. 11, 2001 that the United States had brought on
al Qaeda's attacks because of its own terrorism.
"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," Rev. Wright said in a sermon on Sept. 16, 2001.
"We have 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 to our own front
yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost," he told his
congregation.
Amercian could do well to
listen to Rev Wright iso pushing their American value
to other countries.
