CNN has caught on too. Here's more on the Wright sermon quoting Ambassador Peck.
After the quote, the Rev. went on to say:
“Maybe we need to declare war on AIDS. In five minutes the Congress found $40 billion to rebuild New York and the families that died in sudden death, do you think we can find the money to make medicine available for people who are dying a slow death? Maybe we need to declare war on the nation’s healthcare system that leaves the nation’s poor with no health coverage? Maybe we need to declare war on the mishandled educational system and provide quality education for everybody, every citizen, based on their ability to learn, not their ability to pay. This is a time for social transformation.”
See also evidence that Wright helped treat LBJ during surgery.
Doesn't sound like a "black militant" to me....
