Rev. Wright: Take Note!
J
eremiah Wright, tune up your pipes. You’ve got a whole new reason to hate white America and tell the world about it, and we know it’s true because a black man said it:
The Zimbabwean government on Saturday accused the West of deliberately starting the country’s cholera epidemic, stepping up a war of words with the regime’s critics as the humanitarian crisis deepened.
The state-run Herald newspaper said comments by the U.S. ambassador that the U.S. had been preparing for the outbreak raised suspicions the West had waged “serious biological chemical war.” …
The Herald quoted the information minister, Sikhanyiso Ndlovu, as blaming cholera on “serious biological chemical war … a genocidal onslaught on the people of Zimbabwe by the British.”
“Cholera is a calculated racist terrorist attack on Zimbabwe by the unrepentant former colonial power which has enlisted support from its American and Western allies so that they invade the country,” Ndlovu was quoted as saying.
Never mind that Zimbabwe’s leader Robert Mugabe has never taken blame for any of the evils carried out in his name. Never mind that he’s had better things to do with his country’s resources than provide his people with clean water. Never mind that he shoveled the country’s resources into his own pockets trying to satisfy an insatiable and damning greed for wealth and power.
A black man said it, it damns the white man, so it’s perfect for the next sermon from the reverend hate-monger who mentored our president-elect for 20 years.
Meanwhile, the Zimbawean leadership continues to leave its people starving, without clean water and – not that it’s particularly important if you’ve got no food or are dying of cholera – no freedom or truth. Many will die, some blaming us, some seeing a lie for a lie, but many will die as Mugabe continues to reign, unaffected by their cries.

Honestly Laer, this is a cheap way to inject Rev. Wright into something that has nothing to do with him. Your side lost the last election. If I could put up with Bush for the last 8 years you can put up with Obama for the next 8.

Hey, it was Rev. Wright, not me, that blamed the US for infecting blacks with AIDS. There’s a direct connection; no stretch at all.

Assuming you can elect your monarch back again for another four years before he is even in office has a certain degree of megalomania attached to it, you know.
