I'm wondering how many people know where the quote in my Sig. Line came from?

[izzybeans]

From what speech?

[lisa58]

1. was it the Sunday after 9/11?

[izzybeans]

2. .

No. close though.

:)

3. No one recognizes actual quotes from supposedly infamous speeches I suppose.

That speaks volumes.

[izzybeans]

4. Some other quotes from that dasterdly speech:

"All colonizers are not white. Turn to your neighbors and say that oppressors come in all colors."

"The truth is they believed that all white men were created equal. The truth is they did not even believe that white women were created equal, in creation nor civilization. The government had to pass an amendment to the Constitution to get white women the vote. Then the government had to pass an equal rights amendment to get equal protection under the law for women. The government still thinks a woman has no rights over her own body, and between Uncle Clarence (Thomas), who sexually harassed Anita Hill, and a closeted Klan court, that is a throwback to the 19th century, handpicked by Daddy Bush, Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford, between Clarence and that stacked court, they are about to un-do Roe vs. Wade, just like they are about to un-do affirmative action. The government lied in its founding documents and the government is still lying today. Governments lie."

"Prior to the Civil Rights and equal accommodation laws of the government in this country, there was backed segregation by the country, legal discrimination by the government, prohibited blacks from voting by the government, you had to eat and sit in separate places by the government, you had sit in different places from white folks because the government said so, and you had to buried in a separate cemetery. It was apartheid, American style, from the cradle to the grave, all because the government backed it up."

“But guess what? Governments change. Under Bill Clinton, we got a messed up welfare to work bill, but under Clinton blacks had an intelligent friend in the Oval Office. Oh, but governments change."

“The election was stolen. We went from an intelligent friend to a dumb Dixiecrat. A rich Republican who has never held a job in his life; is against affirmative action (and) against education – I guess he is; against healthcare, against benefits for his own military, and gives tax breaks to the wealthiest contributors to his campaign. Governments change. Sometimes for the good, and sometimes for the bad.”

9. I do remember the "governments change" segments

I watched maybe 15, or 20 minutes of one of those sermons. It was the "God d*mn America" sermon I think.

[izzybeans]

10. The sermon was about confusing God with Government and vice versa.

5. Kicking

...just 'cause.

6. About 99.9999999987654321% of the negative posts on Wright

are disingenuous, uninformed, and/or lies.

Make that 100%

[TahitiNut]

7. Well, it wouldn't be 99.44%.

That'd be Ivory Soap ... and that'd be wrong. :banghead:

[izzybeans]

8. Well rounding up anyway.

:)

Ivory soap is the one that floats, yes?

11. And finally the Troll Feed...

...the United States of America government, when it came to treating her citizens of Indian descent fairly, she failed. She put them on the reservations. When it came to treating her citizens of Japanese descent fairly, she failed. She put them in internment prison camps. When it came to treating the citizens of African descent fairly, America failed. She put them in chains. The government put them on slave quarters, put them on auction blocks, put them in cotton fields, put them in inferior schools, put them in substandard housing, put them in scientific experiments, put them in the lowest paying jobs, put them outside the equal protection of the law, kept them out of the racist bastions of higher education and locked them into positions of hopelessness and helplessness. 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, not 'God Bless America,' 'God Damn America.' That's in the Bible, for killing innocent people. God damn America for treating its citizens as less than human, God damn America as long as she tries to act like she is God and she is supreme. The United States government has failed the vast majority of her citizens of African descent."

12. It really interests me that no one gives a rip about details.

The asinine soundbites are suitable.

I used to love this place for not being so naive.
