Wright to Speak at Dinner

The Detroit branch of the NAACP has tapped Barak Obama's longtime pastor as keynote speaker for its 53rd Annual Fight for Freedom Fund dinner. Jeremiah Wright will address the civil rights organization on April 27th. Past speakers have included Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton and Barak Obama. Wright has not spoken publicly about remarks he made from the pulpit including a claim that the government is purposely spreading AIDS in the black community, that the 9/11 attacks were payback for the past sins of the nation and that God should damn the United States for racism.
