Common Goes To Bat for His and Obama’s Pastor
Says Rev. Wright Wright uses the Gospel of Jesus Christ to uplift the soul and to point out the hypocrisy of a government
EURweb.com has a really interesting story written by Lee Bailey who recently talked with Common about his feelings about his pastor Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Jr., being portrayed as “racist,” “unpatriotic,” “hateful” and “crazy.” Common grew up in Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ and attended services alongside Presidential hopeful Barack Obama. Unlike Obama, Common was more outspoken in defense of his pastor.
“He never really was against white people or another race. It was more against an establishment that was oppressing people. I think we all can see that this country has problems and a lot of it starts in the political system.”
Its a really interesting article and his thoughts on the Reverend align with those of Mr. Obama save all the political conservation.
