| Description | The alleged "racist" nature of the United States government is a recurring theme in sermon after sermon by Sen. Barack Obama's longtime pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Sen. Obama says he will address the issue of race and his church in a major speech scheduled for delivery today in Philadelphia.
"I think the caricature that's been painted of him is not accurate," Obama said Monday. "And so, part of what I'll do tomorrow is just to talk a little bit about how some of these issues are perceived from within the black church community, for example, which I think views this very differently."
Sen. Obama last week denounced two of Rev. Wright's sermons blaming the 9/11 attacks on "U.S. terrorism" and calling on blacks to sing "God Damn American" instead of "God Bless America."
But Obama defended Rev. Wright's "social gospel" and said he agreed with some of his points, including issues relating to Africa. |
