Jeremiah WrightFaith should be pulled into the public arena when it affects how we live. If it doesn't, it does no earthly good. What does my faith say about the fact that a girl can't be a nuclear physicist because she's black and from the inner city? My faith says, no, that's not what God intended. It pulls it back into the public arena the idea that there's got to be something fair for all of us.

Jeremiah WrightThe government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing "God Bless America."

God d*mn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme.
