Jeremiah Wright: There's 4 Black Americas - Obama's Ex-Pastor Lectures on U.S. Disintegration
Bob Unruh / WND
Jeremiah Wright, the pastor of Barack Obama’s Chicago church who infamously ranted “God d— America,” now is teaching theology “from the black perspective” at a Pennsylvania school, the Lancaster Seminary run by his longtime denomination, the United Church of Christ.
The seminary’s announcement said it was offering a “one-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take a Master Class from Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright, pastor emeritus, Trinity United Church of Christ Chicago.”
The week-long class is going on this week, and focuses on “a survey and analysis of the many different theologies preached and practiced by the black churches in the diaspora from the days of the European enslavement of Africans through the 21st century, comparing and contrasting the broad range of theologies found in Christian congregations and denominations in Africa with black Christian churches in the diaspora.”
It focuses on the “four black Americas” that Eugene Robinson describes, according to NPR, as “a mainstream middle-class majority with a full ownership stake in American society, a large, abandoned minority with less hope of escaping poverty and dysfunction than at any time since Reconstruction’s crushing end, a small transcendent elite with such enormous wealth, power, and influence that eve white folks have to genuflect, [and] two newly emergent groups – individuals of mixed-race heritage and communities of recent black immigrants – that make us wonder what ‘black’ is even supposed to mean.”
The cost for the Wright class at Lancaster was listed at $250 per person plus the costs of textbooks, and three credits were being offered to enrolled students at the seminary. But it was keeping the privacy level high, with a note, “Auditing the academic course is not permitted.”
The seminary described Wright as “homiletic genius, theological scholar, the pastor’s pastor” and confirmed he was from Trinity United in Chicago but didn’t mention his volatile tenure at the church.
He emerged as a personality during Obama’s first campaign for the presidency when it was revealed Obama reportedly sat under his teaching for decades, but didn’t recall any of Wright’s controversial statements.
