For this week’s article, I chose the hot topic of the week. Obama, Reverend Jeremiah Wright vs. the media. Even though the Democratic Party has fought amongst each other; to me this is an important subject that needs to be looked upon very serious. I think this will determine Obama’s character.

According to this article, there are been several sermons delivered by Reverend Wright that would go against true Americans. The media has several controversial intranet sermons given by Reverend Wright blaming Americans creating the AIDS virus to kill African Americans. Reverend Wright is known to have a congregation over 8,000 people.

The congregation has stated the media has attacked the heritage of the African American Church. It was stated that Sunday is still the “most segregated hour of America”

Hillary Clinton’s supporters have not responded to any of these allegations.

Obama had his 20 year Reverend to step down from his “spiritual advisory board” “to detour the real reason why I am running for president” stated by Obama.

I have found the pop culture article important to our society. The last time I checked, we have abolished the segregation of white and blacks. My question first is why are the African Americans ministers continuing to separate the two? If this preacher has had several controversial sermons segregating blacks against America and whites, why has Obama continued his relationship with Reverend Wright for the past 20 years? The media has had a lot of attention toward Hillary, maybe we need to do more scrutinizing toward our other parties. “If there is smoke, there is probably a fire.” That is my take on this divisive subject.
