Since when do NEWS REPORTERS debate with the interviewee? This is very strange.

It sickens me how that "reporter" tried to put loaded words in the Father's mouth. As a journalist, I will say that was one of the more unprofessional interviews I've ever heard.

For anyone actually listening - if racism is no longer a problem in this country, then why is race so often brought up in this election? I applaud Father Flager in his ability to use his right of free speech in an intelligent and ethical manner. In addition, to anyone who resorts to using profane language to express him or herself, please note that this is usually the last resort of someone without a valid argument.

What disturbs me about this interview is that Fr. Flager stated that Dr. Martin Luther King would not be proud of America today, referring to the prejudice that supposedly still exists. I don't see that prejudice and I dare say that I haven't seen the kind of prejudice that Dr. Martin Luther King experienced in my 42 years of living. The last time I heard the N word was from someone who grew old and died and that was as a child. And this person wasn't worth listening to anyway.

Dr. King's goal was to abolish segregation. What he and his followers endured while fighting for equal rights were things like sitting in the back of the bus, drinking from seperate water fountains, being excluded or separated in restaurants and other public places, being hosed down with fire hoses and spit upon, being beaten, and ultimately being killed, as Dr. King himself was. Name calling was a part of it too. It was degrading. People were made to feel that others thought they were inferior and less than human. It was a terrible thing that no one should have to endure.

Fr. Flager and Rev. Wright are complaining about the few ignorant wanna-be's that call them names. They also equate being stuck at the top of a building after a natural disaster without the proper amenities, medical attention with the kind of discrimination that Dr. King and his followers endures. Sorry... I don't buy it. Think about it... there is no comparison. One was on purpose and the other was a mistake. Dr. King and his supporters made greater sacrifices than they were already making, such as boycotting the bus and walking to work, to obtain the freedoms they deserved. Now, things are so much better. Every man's rights are equally protected the law but it is up to us to know what our rights are. That way, if harassed, we know what the law says, and we can counter those who try to intimidate us. But are name-calling and prejudice why some with dark skin are living in poverty and breaking the law? No. Otherwise there wouldn't be white-skinned people who also are living in poverty and breaking the law. Poverty and law-breaking has more to do with personal responsibility, individual choices, and sometimes, circumstances such as being in the wrong place at the wrong time, illness, the death of a loved one, divorce, rape, incest. These all happen to the best of us. Granted, there are many laws that still need to be changed and we have way too many micro-laws that not enough people know about today, which means that some of these laws make criminals out of innocent and unsuspecting citizens. We are losing our freedoms slowly because of these, but not exclusively black people, EVERYONE is experiencing this. Granted, police officers today choose to enforce some rediculous laws or risk losing their jobs and these truly make idiots of them when they arrest people for things that aren't even close to looking like a criminal act, but again, it is not a problem that is exclusive to black people. To people of all races and color: Let's stop thinking everyone is out to get us, inform ourselves regarding the law so we can stay out of trouble, and make Dr. King proud of us by working hard to take care of ourselves and our families and to preserve the freedoms that Dr. King and many others have given their lives to protect.

If you agree with what Fr. Flager said, you might consider donating to his church. The courage to stand up to the American propaganda machine that Fr. Flager has demonstrated deserves some support. Actions like this will do more good than posting on blogs. I'm going to give him a donation, though I'm Catholic so it's within my sphere. If religion isn't your thing, donate or volunteer for some other cause for unbiased media. Also, if you are on the side of sanity, don't get too discouraged by some of the inflammatory comments posted here. People like Sherry (3 posts down) might be a mother who really wants to believe in her son's cause, but they also might be paid by the right's media think tanks to spam various blogs like this one with dissenting viewpoints. The support for ethical journalism is more wide spread in the public than meets the eye.

There has been a lot of hate in this country ever since Reagan. Maybe it's the way this country should end, but it will go on. These haters will climb back under the rock from which they came. Eventually new ones will take their places. It's just the human condition. Makes you sad. Doesn't it?

Mr. Flager if you are a man of god then I sure as hell do not want to know your god. Mr. Flager is a disgrace he is a self centered arrogant Ahole. The people of Iraq deserve as much concern, respect and compassion as this fraud and his fraudulent Presidential candidate constantly demand. This Fraud whom is constantly referred to as an African American. Hey morons he is half white if I follow your logic he is white. Obama, Flager and all of you drones who buy this crap are supporting bigots and racists. Look up the meaning of bigot and yes Fraud Flager you can be white and be a bigot against your own race. LOOK IT UP!!! Ignorance is the biggest danger this country faces just ask the German people look and learn and stop following bigots like Fraud Flager and his Fraud African American Presidential Candidate. Hey Fraud Falger are you proud of the millions killed after we abandoned the Vietnamese people?? For bigoted, racist political reasons. Shame on you you Fraud!!!! Mr. Fraud Flager my son is currently serving his second tour in Iraq proudly creating generations of peace with the millions of Iraqis that I will never allow people like you to send to a certain death and hoplessness. You call your self a man of God - you are the ultimate BIGOT!!!!!

Now country is without it's ills and the U.S. is certainly no exception. To think that we as a country have done nothing wrong is like omitting slavery out of the history books. The fact of the matter is that we really want to believe that we have arrived as a nation with equality in most phases of our social order but we are FAR for being fair in most areas of daily living as a country. When Martin Luther King said that he has been to the mountain top and have seen the promise land...it was a very high mountain and a very far promise land. All of these confirmations are very evident in most of white America willing to elect the same old regime'. Even if it means destorying this country. And who said we have arrived...it was apparent with the OJ case..not that OJ was right...now pun intended but black America was willing to except the verdict whether they believed it or not. But white America wanted blood and would not be satisfied until they destroyed him. Regardless of what the law said. So Pastor Wright is not a part of this place we call America. If the media can expose America (U.S) for ills but a black man (Preacher/Pastor) does not live under those amendments that gives him the right to say. America you're wrong. Yes we have made some progress but we have a long long way to go. Pastor Wright simply was man enough to say many of the things that most of which have be whisper in the barber shops, homes, community, school of black America. Can we honest with each other? Pastor Wright was...so why call him a bigot for saying what he believed to be the truth...in the final sum of things...what if he is RIGHT (WRIGHT) :)

There are plenty of far-left persons in this country that see Reverend Wright as a bigot and a racist who preaches divisiveness. The government gave AIDS to African-Americans? He is a narcissistic, ego maniacal nothing.

The right wingnuts claim that this country was founded in Christianity when it suits their needs and yet they can't stand to hear it when they are called out by "true" Christians. I wish Obama would take the time to defend the words of Rev Wright instead of distancing himself from them. I know that he must do what is necessary in this campaign, but I hope that he found more to agree with in Wright's sermons than he is claiming. If he did he may just be the saving grace for this country that has surely lost it's way. I believe that if he took the chance he may find more agreement with the Rev among us blue collar whites than he thinks there is.
