Multiculturally Offensive

Here we go. CNS:
The Order Sons of Italy in America has called on the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, pastor emeritus at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago and long-time spiritual adviser to Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.), to apologize for remarks he made in an article published in the church's November/December 2007 Trumpet Newsmagazine, as first reported by Cybercast News Service.

"(Jesus') enemies had their opinion about Him," Wright wrote in a eulogy for the late scholar Asa Hilliard. "The Italians for the most part looked down their garlic noses at the Galileans."

Wright continued, "From the circumstances surrounding Jesus' birth (in a barn in a township that was under the Apartheid Roman government that said his daddy had to be in), up to and including the circumstances surrounding Jesus' death on a cross, a Roman cross, public lynching Italian style. ..."
Barack Obama and his friends--equally offensive to everyone. Multiculturally offensive.
