IS it really so unbelievable that rev. wright said these things?

I keep hearing from people and the news that they just cant believe that rev. wright said these things . Well then you obviously don't hang out with alot of black people because most of my friends believe almost everything that man said . And really i cant blame them . Lets start with him claiming that the us created aids to kill black people . This theory is bogus but is it really any worse than the theory scientists have come up with . I mean do you really believe someone went to Africa , had sex with a monkey , flew back to America , had a gay orgy , and thats how aids got spread . Yeah , i don't know about you , but i don't know too many people who have sex with monkeys . Now for him to say 9-11 was " chickens coming home " or whatever the hell he said . Look , it doesn't matter what you believe about 9-11 , he has no right to dis those poor people who died on that day . So i can understand why people are upset about that . But the truth is , my friends believe everything he said .

    He has a right to his opinion. Freedom of speech. If some people think Rev. Wright is a nut case or crazy, that should take what he say with a grain of salt. I like Rev. Wright. I don't think he should be an issue for the election. Sometime the truth hurts. Rev. Wright is respected in Chicago. The chicken come on the roost wasn't said in the 9/11 sermon. The media is lying about that. I listen to the whole sermon. You can go on CNN too. They did a full behind the story on Rev. Wright. The white government years ago gave syphilis to black soldiers as a Ginny pig. If they can do that and enslave blacks for 400 years, I wouldn't put it pass them to put drugs and aids in the black community. This rumor has been floating around the black community for years.

    Well at this point i don't really care anymore i don't think America as a whole is a "racist" nation a few are both black and white. But that doesn't make the whole apple rotten. There will never be true equality in life there are always going to be the perceived haves and the have nots. Everyone wants what they dont have instead of being satisfied with what they have. We as a nation have thrown trillions of dollars into societal welfare and we still have the HAVE NOTS. And we always will. This is not paradise and no amount of money will make it so.

    I'm black and I agree with 90% of what he said so maybe I'm biased.

    "the us created aids to kill black people ."

    The U.S. did it with the Tuskegee Experiment. So if they did it once why not again? That is one of the things I don't want to agree with but if it turned out to be true I wouldn't be shocked.

    " chickens coming home " or whatever the hell he said .

    A lot of prominent people have the same sentiment that the combination of U.S. policies and the use of former shady U.S. allies (Two of them being Bin Laden and Saddam.) were the main cause of the 9/11 attack.

    I think that it isn't that unbelievable but still it's horrible that he said what he said... Raceism isn't just whites against other races... it comes from every race whether we like it or not...

    In response to your monkey thing... it's actually called bestiality and some people really do partake in it.... The common forms of bestiality that you hear of are Dog and Horse but there are some that have sex with snakes, monkeys, eels, goats... so on so forth... so scientists explanation of how aids came to be isn't that unbelievable either...
