Obama and Wright: Different Worldviews奧巴馬和賴特：不同的世界觀，
By Ted Glick | “We did not have to go through any of the violent upheavals that Europe was forced to endure as it shed its feudal past.由泰德glick | “我們並沒有去通過任何的暴力動亂，歐洲是被迫忍受，因為它擺脫封建過去。 Our passage from an agricultural to an industrial society was eased by the sheer size of the continent, vast tracts of land and abundant resources that allowed new immigrants to continually remake themselves.” Barack Obama, The Audacity of Hope, p.我們通過從農業到工業社會，是緩解由龐大的大陸，大片的土地和豐富的資源，讓新移民不斷重塑自己“ 。巴拉克奧巴馬，狂放，希望頁 55
Jeremiah Wright summarized the difference between him and Obama in his interviews last weekend as, “I do what pastors do.耶利米賴特歸納之間的差異，他和奧巴馬在他的採訪，上週末， “我做牧師做的。 He does what politicians do.他在做什麼政治家這樣做。 I am not running for office.”我不會競選公職“ 。
But there is more to it than this.但有更多比這一點。
Rev. Wright is an unapologetic African American preacher who has no hesitation speaking the truth in the best of the religious prophetic tradition.牧師賴特是一個毫無歉意非洲裔美國人的佈道者誰也毫不遲疑地說實話在最好的宗教先知的傳統。 He uses the word “imperialism.” He talks about “oppressors” and “oppressed” and “God’s desire for a radical change.” He says, accurately, that “you cannot do terrorism on other people and expect it never to come back on you.”他用這個詞“帝國主義” ，他談“壓迫者”和“被壓迫”和“上帝的願望，徹底改變” ，他說，準確，即： “你不能這樣做對恐怖主義的其他人，並期望它從來沒有來回到你的“ 。
Barack Obama, as is clear from a close reading of “The Audacity of Hope” and a review of his Democratic Party political career, is all about rising up within the world of the Democratic and Republican parties, the corporate duopoly.巴拉克奧巴馬，由於是明確的從仔細閱讀“狂放，希望” ，並審查他的民主黨的政治生涯，是所有關於崛起在世界的民主，共和兩黨，該公司的雙寡頭。 And if you are committed to that political world and becoming President through it, it is not surprising that you would do things like whitewash US history, as the quote above does.如果你是致力於政治世界，並成為總統透過它，這是不足為奇的，你會做的事情一樣，粉飾美國歷史上，作為引述上述是否。 Genocidal policies toward Indigenous people, the hideous reality of slavery and Jim Crow, the invasion of Mexico and takeover of much of its territory, even the Civil War and Reconstruction: nowhere in Obama’s book does he address these truths of our history.種族滅絕政策，對土著人民的，醜惡的現實，奴役和吉姆克勞，入侵墨西哥和接管其大部分領土，甚至內戰和重建：無處在奧巴馬的書，他是否解決這些真理，我們的歷史。
Obama said at his April 29th press conference where he broke with his pastor of 20 years that, “What became clear to me was that he was presenting a world view that contradicts who I am and what I stand for.奧巴馬說，在他4月29日的記者招待會上，他打破了他的牧師20年， “是什麼成為我清楚的是，他提出一個世界認為，矛盾的我是誰和我的立場。 And what I think particularly angered me was his suggestion that my previous denunciation of his remarks were somehow political posturing.什麼，我覺得特別憤怒，我是他的建議，即我先前退出他的言論被某種政治姿態。 . 。 . 。 so where I start hearing comments about conspiracy theories and AIDS and suggestions that somehow Minister Farrakhan has been a great voice in the 20th century, then that goes directly at who I am and what I believe this country needs.”所以我開始聽證會的意見，關於陰謀的理論和艾滋病和建議，在某種程度上部長法拉康一直是偉大的聲音在二十世紀，那麼直接在我是誰和什麼，我相信這個國家的需要“ 。
It is true that a handful of statements made by Wright in response to questions from the press at the National Press Club gave them an opening to caricature him as too radical, too out of touch with the US political mainstream, the political mainstream that Obama has been laboring mightily, for years, particularly over the past 16 months, to steer in a somewhat more progressive direction.這是事實的少數所作的聲明賴特在回答問題時從報章在全國新聞俱樂部給了他們一個開放的漫畫，他過於激進，過於脫離美國的政治主流，政治主流，這已奧巴馬被勞動mightily ，多年以來，尤其是在過去16個月內，把握導向，有些更進步的方向。
It is also true that, faced with near-certain, continued media attention on the Obama/Wright relationship, Obama needed to address the “worldview” differences between them, which are real.這也是事實，面對近一些，繼續媒體注意對奧巴馬/賴特的關係，奧巴馬需要解決的“世界觀”之間的分歧，這是真實的。 But was it really necessary for him to use words like these in doing so: “divisive and destructive,” “the spectacle that we saw yesterday,” and “a bunch of rants that aren’t grounded in truth”?但它真的有需要，他使用的詞語，像這些在這樣做的： “分裂性和破壞性” ， “眼鏡，我們看到昨天， ”和“一群rants是沒有根植於真理”呢？
Obama said that “when you start focusing on the plight of the historically oppressed, you lose sight of what we have in common.奧巴馬說： “當你開始著眼於困境，歷史上受壓迫，你忽略了我們的共同點。 . 。 . 。 it doesn’t describe properly what I believe, in the power of faith to overcome but also to bring people together.”它並未說明，妥善什麼，我相信，在權力的信念克服，而且使人民的共同努力“ 。
If he truly believes that he’s different in this way than Wright, then he didn’t read all of Wright’s National Press Club speech, or he deliberately discounted major parts of it, like this conclusion:如果他真正相信他的不同，這種方式比賴特的話，他沒有看過的所有Wright的全國新聞俱樂部演講，他故意或折扣的主要部分，像這樣的結論：
“The prophetic theology of the black church has always seen and still sees all of God’s children as sisters and brothers, equals who need reconciliation, who need to be reconciled as equals. “先知神學的黑人教會，一直看到仍然認為，所有上帝的兒女，作為兄弟姐妹，等於誰需要和解，誰需要加以調和當作平等的。 . 。 . 。 Reconciliation means we embrace our individual rich histories, all of them.和解意味著我們擁抱我們的個人豐富的歷史，所有這些。 We retain who we are, as persons of different cultures, while acknowledging that those of other cultures are not superior or inferior to us; they are just different from us.我們保留我們是誰，正如不同的人文化，同時承認，相對於其他文化不是上司或不如我們，他們是從不同的只是我們。 We root out any teaching of superiority, inferiority, hatred or prejudice.我們根指出，任何的教學優勢，自卑，仇恨或偏見。 And we recognize for the first time in modern history, in the West, that the other who stands before us with a different color of skin, a different texture of hair, different music, different preaching styles and different dance moves; that other is one of God’s children just as we are, no better, no worse, prone to error and in need of forgiveness just as we are.我們認識到，為第一次在近代歷史上，在西方國家，其他誰的立場擺在我們面前的一個不同顏色的皮膚，不同質地的頭髮，不同的音樂，不同的說教方式和不同的舞蹈動作;另一種是一對上帝的兒女，正如我們，沒有更好的，沒有更糟的是，容易出錯，並在有需要的寬恕，正如我們。 Only then will liberation, transformation and reconciliation become realities and cease being ever elusive ideals.”只有到那時，解放，轉型與和解變成現實，並停止被以往任何時候都難以實現的理想“ 。
Barack Obama has made a genuine effort to run a different kind of campaign, one which is more issue-oriented and less about the divisive and dishonest personal attacks that often characterize what passes for “political debate” in this country.巴拉克奧巴馬作出了真正的努力，來執行不同種運動，其中更著重於具體問題的少，約分化和不誠實的人身攻擊，往往通過的特點是什麼“政治辯論”在這個國家。 But in this case, the case of Rev. Wright, Obama has failed his own test.但在這種情況下，案件牧師賴特，奧巴馬卻沒有他自己的考驗。 The corporate media has made him bend his principles.公司媒體使他屈服，他的原則。
If Obama wins the Democratic nomination and if he wins the Presidency, which I continue to hope he does as the best candidate when compared with Clinton and McCain, we can expect to see more examples of Obama rejecting consistently progressive positions.如果奧巴馬贏得民主黨提名，如果他當選，我繼續希望他作為最佳人選時相比，克林頓和麥凱恩，我們可以預期看到更多的例子，奧巴馬拒絕一貫漸進的立場。 Hopefully, he will feel that it is incumbent that he follows through on much of his generally progressive campaign rhetoric and fights for generally progressive government policies.我希望，他會覺得這是責任，他如下通過對他的大部分普遍進步的運動，修辭學和打架普遍進步的政府政策。 But like Jeremiah Wright, we need to be prepared, no matter who is elected President, “November 5th, I’m [we’re] coming after you, because you’ll be representing a government whose policies grind under people.”但像耶利米賴特，我們需要做好準備，不管是誰當選總統， “ 11月5日，我[我們]未來後，您，因為您代表了政府的政策下，磨人” 。
Government of, by and for the people: that must be the objective.政府，為人民：必須客觀。 We aren’t going to get it on November 4th, 2008, but if we don’t lose our critical consciousness, if we don’t defend indefensible positions, if we speak truth to power, whether Democrat or Republican, and if we keep working to find the ways to come together into a powerful, grassroots-based, multi-cultural independent progressive movement, we can make progress this year toward that long-term objective.我們並不是要得到關於2008年11月4日，但如果我們不要失去我們的批判意識，如果我們不辯護，是站不住腳的立場，如果我們講的真相的權力，不論是民主黨或共和黨，如果我們繼續努力尋找如何走到一起，成為一支強大的，基層為基礎，多元文化獨立的進步運動，我們能夠取得進展，今年實現這一長遠目標。
