Reverend Jeremiah Wright Quotes

Where governments lie, God does not lie. Where governments
change, God does not change. But let me leave you with one
more thing. Governments fail. The government in this text
comprised of Caesar, Cornelius, Pontius Pilate - the Roman
government failed. The British government used to rule
from East to West. The British government had a Union
Jack. She colonized Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, Jamaica,
Barbados, Trinidad and Hong Kong.

Her navies ruled the seven seas all the way down to the
tip of Argentina in the Falklands, but the British
government failed. The Russian government failed. The
Japanese government failed. The German government failed.
And the United States of America government, when it came
to treating her citizens of Indian descent fairly, she
failed. She put them on 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 citizens of African descent fairly,
America failed. She put them in chains.

~ Reverend Jeremiah Wright

When you start confusing God and government, your
allegiances to government - a particular government
and not to God, that you're in serious trouble because
governments fail people.

~ Reverend Jeremiah Wright

In Genesis:2 it says God breathes into the nostrils of
what God had formed from the dust. God donated some
divinity to some dirt and we became living souls. That's
God breath you have in you, that's God's breath that
you just breathed. God is the giver of life. Let me
tell you what that means. That means we have no right
to take a life whether as a gang banger living the thug
life, or as a President lying about leading a nation
into war. We have no right to take a life!

~ Reverend Jeremiah Wright

Unfortunately, most churches now are "status quo." And
so that, to the extent that they're not trying to feed
the poor, they're not trying to hook up jobs and people,
they're not concerned about the lowest, the least, the
left out.
