We have to remember he said this to his congregation and none of us would have been privy to his sermon except for a Smear Campaign by those against Barrack and the UCC church he belonged to. I don't agree sometimes on what my pastor says and I don't always tell her and for that matter After I left church I oftentimes can't remember what she said as is the case with many, many other congrgants. The moment is short. Unlike those Evangelicals who promote hate and push congregants to do harmful things, Rev. Wright, imho, didn't... Thanks for your time Tanya.

I don’t agree sometimes on what my pastor says and I don’t always tell her and for that matter After I left church I oftentimes can’t remember what she said as is the case with many, many other congrgants. The moment is short.
Unlike those Evangelicals who promote hate and push congregants to do harmful things, Rev. Wright, imho, didn’t…
Thanks for your time Tanya.
