Video Disputes "Black Separatist" Tag On Obama's Church


March 26, 2008 01:40 PM

In the wake of the Jeremiah Wright flap, the church that presidential hopeful Barack Obama attends -- Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago -- has been the target of all sorts of criticism. They've been labeled http://mediamatters.org/items/200703010012">"black separatist," even racist. Those contentions are receiving some push back from a blog called http://truthabouttrinity.blogspot.com/">The Truth About Trinity, which has released a video that accuses the media of being one-sided in their coverage, and demonstrates that not only are white pastors welcome in their congregation, but that even white pastors who aren't all "yelly" are welcome.

Furthermore, the soundtrack choice in this video clearly indicates that Trinity welcomes all "white boys" to lift up their voices and "play" their "funky music" in praise of the Almighty.

7. K&R That Fox was running the Wright story ad-naseum...
made it clear that they were misrepresenting, lying, misleading. Now that id didn't work, it won't be brought up again during the GE. The neo-cons have no weapons against Obama. Obama in a landslide victory come the GE.

8. Thanks for posting
Wonder if we'll see this on any MSM teevee shows. CNN, MSNBC, I'm talking to you. Fox, I have no hope for.

10. If they use 527 to bring up Wright then we need a 527 to play this over and over. nt

11. It's AWESOME to see whites and blacks come together like this!!!
This church could be used to bolster Obamas popularity in the country.

12. Why did you post this!
You just made a middle aged white guy, and proud member of the UCC to cry at his desk at work!

Thank you so much.

I think you will see more and more left of center clergy stand up to support him. Despite what the media tells you, most clergy are left of center according to a study mediamatters did last year.
