Obama's Church: Rev. Wright's Message Taken Out of Context

It looks like this one just one big misunderstanding. Apparently there is some context in which "God damn America" being ruled by "rich white people" would be appropriate.

Officials at Sen. Barack Obama's church have taken offense at the controversy born out of the fiery statements made by their senior pastor who sermonized that black Americans should sing "God Damn America" instead of "God Bless America."

My mistake.

Note: props to ABC news for actually quoting the "Reverend's" statements as compared with some other reports which have referred only vaguely to some "inflammatory statements".
