“I’M WHITE, I’M ENTITLED”
Controversy involving Trinity erupted last week when an Internet video surfaced from a recent guest appearance by Rev. Michael Pfleger, the longtime pastor of St. Sabina Roman Catholic Church, who said he had been invited specifically to preach about race. Standing in Trinity’s pulpit, Pfleger mocked the tears Clinton shed before the New Hampshire primary, suggesting that the former first lady owed her sorrow to the black man who threatened her Democratic presidential nomination.
Pfleger’s remarks reignited a controversy about the words spoken in the pulpit at Trinity—a church known for preaching a black theology of liberation, which views the Bible through the struggles of the black community and the legacy of slavery. The controversy not only roiled Obama’s campaign, but it also challenged Trinity’s ministry, which Obama said on Saturday ultimately prompted him to leave.

Hilarious but likely true. I love Hilary but I sure at the start of the democratic race she wasn’t expecting Barack still be standing
