Wright's New Diggs

Each and every American Citizen and organization has the right to do what they choose as long as it falls within the confines of law. There is another responsibility that should be borne by all people, not just those in power or the public eye. That is a moral responsibility, which varies depending on someones values. The Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. is moving on up to a brand new 1.6 million dollar home in a predominately white gated community. Rev. Wright burst onto the national stage following news coverage of his controversial comments such as "God Damn America", and in view of his relationship with Democratic Presidential Candidate Barack Obama. The Reverends house was a retirement gift from Trinity United Church where he was Pastor for more than three decades. It is also suspected that the Church gave Wright a 10 million dollar credit line, however exact details cannot be determined as the Church is not required to release those details because of their non profit status. I find it to be hypocritical that the Reverend who preached for so long in a poor neighborhood and spoke out against materialism, now lives a new luxurious lifestyle. I am sure that he has earned a decent retirement, but it just seems out of step with what he preached. Like I always believed, black and white are not the important colors. In America, it's the color green that really matters.
