BK: Good Afternoon Dr. Wright. We hope all is well and that your family is well.
JAW: Good Afternoon. I'm well and my family is well. Thank you for inquiring.
BK: Is it true that you were a Marine?
JAW: Yes.
BK: Is it also true that you transferred out of the Marine Corps into the Navy as a cardiopulmonary technician?
JAW: Yes.
BK: You mean to tell me that you were both a Marine and a Navy Corpsman?
JAW: Yes.
BK: Well, that's astounding. Nobody can question your patrotism.
JAW: Well the right wing tries. But you know how they are. They'll twist anything to fit their ideology.
BK: Is it true you have a BS and a Masters Degree from Howard University?
JAW: Yes.
BK: Is it true that you received a second Masters Degree for the University of Chicago Divinity School?
JAW: Yes.
BK: Isn't the University of Chicago the same school that produced distiguished alums such as: John Ashcroft, Supreme Sourt Justice Antonin Scalia, Paul Wolfowitz, Nobel-Economist Milton Friedman, Nobel-novelist T.S. Elliot, and Nobel-physicist Enrico Fermi, among many other famous Americans?
JAW: Yes.
BK: All bedrock, rock-ribbed Americans, right.
JAW: Right. Elliot was born in America and moved to the UK and Fermi became a US Citizen in 1944; but all Americans still. Yes.
BK: Is the University of Chicago some kind of out of the mainstream radical university?
JAW: No, it is one of the finest most conservative universities in the nation and world; producing 81 Nobel Laureates.
BK: So any notion that you are anti-American or anti-white is... how would you describe it?
JAW: Pure foolishness. We have white people in our choir and in our congregation. We are unashamedly Afro-Centric, not because we hate America; we don't have time for that kind of destructive foolishness. We are Afro-Centric because we owe a special debt to Africa and their customs which is not inconsistent with others who value their ties to the Middle East. America has nothing to fear from us.
BK: Is it true that you received a Doctorate from United Theological Seminary under Dr. Samuel DeWitt Proctor?
JAW: Yes.
BK: Is the UTS associated with Al Qaeda?
JAW: No.
BK: Is UTS associated with Bin Laden?
JAW: No.
BK: Is UTS associated with the communist party?
JAW: No.
BK: Is UTS anti-American?
JAW: No.
BK: Is UTS anti-white?
JAW: No.
BK: Do you know this Ayers from the Weather Undergorund?
JAW: I know of him, yes.
BK: Hannity is spreading the implication that Obama sought him out and that Ayers contributed to Obama's campaign.
JAW: That implication is a flat out lie. Obama didn't seek out Ayers. Obama was brought to Ayers home by Obama's predecessor and Ayers contributed the grand sum od $200 to Obama's campaign.
BK: Just a measly $200?
JAW: Yes.
BK: Then why is Hannity smearing Obama with this garbage?
JAW: Hannity is a fear-mongerer who is trying to drive the electorate away from Obama.
BK: Do you believe America will let Hannity get away with it?
JAW: I have faith in the American people; and even if Hannity is successful, the American people don't like ugly, and will deal with him in the ratings accordingly.
BK: Does Michelle Obama's Princeton Thesis bother you, when she says even in liberal Princeton, she still felt isolated?
JAW: No. David Robinson who went to the Naval Academy said the same thing. He said that sitting around talking with his white associates, everything was alright; but as soon as it was time to go a social gathering which may have including inter-racial dancing; then he was shunned.
She was writing about a true experience, and for Hannity or anyone else to try and turn it into something it isn't; that in itself is a tragedy.
BK: Have you ever recommended that anyone fly a plane into the World Trade Center?
JAW: No.
BK: Have you ever burned a cross in someone elses yard?
JAW: No, but others have done it to us.
BK: Have you ever blown up four little girls in a church?
JAW: No, but others have done it to us.
BK: Then why do you believe that some people like Hannity continue to treat us like the scum of the earth?
JAW: They are small fear-mongering people who do not believe in modernity and progress. They believe that they should hog everything; that they alone are entitled; and not share with especially black people; even though we've do nothing but ask for an even shake in America.
BK: Why did you give an award to Farrakhan?
JAW: Let's get this straight. I have told Minister Farrkhan to his face that antisemitic language and attitudes are unacceptable in America. I have renounced him over his antisemitism; and if you lived in Chicago, you would know that. Let's get that out of the way first.
I gave him the award for the positives after the Million Man March. I thought he did a good thing; and I might add, Bill Clinton gave a lenient leave policy to Federal Workers during that time, so that they could attend or watch the March. I know that to be a fact because I have many friends in the government who attended or watched.
Secondly, Farrakhan is Farrakhan. He is not Jerimiah Wright and he is certainly not Obama.
Thirdly, will you now go and ask Senator Clinton to renounce Cokie Roberts whose father was the notorious racist Hale Boggs?
Will you now go and tell McCain to renounce Hagee a notorious anti-Catholic bigot?
How far do you want to take this nonsense?
BK: I think you have answered all of our questions. Thank you for your time.
JAW: Thank you. Happy to do it. God Bless America.
