Rev. Wright Says He Meant to Say 'Them Zionists' Keep Him Away from Obama

Rev. Jeremiah Wright has attempt to clarify his remarks when he said in Virginia that "them Jews" are keeping him from seeing Barack Obama in the White House. In an interview with Mark Thompson on the Sirius Left satellite-radio channel, Wright said he meant to single out them "Zionists," not Jews. In the brief audio clip posted, Wright also went on to imply that the Holocaust of six million Jews is much smaller than the "black Holocaust." He responded to the Holocaust Museum shooting by deploring violence and talking about "millions of African Americans killed," citing historians like Chiekh Anta Diop and John Henrik Clarke to unload the estimate of 100 to 150 million murders. I'm sure Obama would have preferred the lack of "clarification."
