Northwestern withdraws offer of honorary degree to Rev. Wright
May 01, 2008
(AP) — Northwestern University has withdrawn a previously offered honorary degree to Barack Obama's former pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright due to the controversy surrounding Wright’s recent comments.
Alan Cubbage, Northwestern's vice-president for university relations, says the school had offered Wright an honorary Doctorate of Sacred Theology.
However, Cubbage now says the offer has been rescinded "to ensure that the celebratory character of commencement not be affected."
Wright is the former senior minister at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, and his outspoken criticisms of the United States have drawn criticism to Obama's candidacy.
A phone call to Wright's home seeking comment wasn't answered, and the voice mail was full.
Northwestern's commencement is set for June 20th.

Does Smiff have this right?
So Pastor Jeremiah Wright's response to his "whitey keeping darky down" rhetoric is 1) make a
congregant look as bad as possible on the national stage, thereby helping 2) the 72 year old white guy elected. You know, the guy who is so down with the brothers that he continually opposed the Martin Luther King holiday. Yes, the holiday doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things, but it should tell us a lot about McCrazy's feelings about race. Rev. Wright, you think the federal government doesn't give a shit about darky? Yeah, and eight more years of McBush will certainly help that...what a maroon. Why is Wright doing this? Let's see:
1) is jealous
2) is a raving egomaniac
3) like's the limelight
4) is getting paid by McCrazy and/or Hill-Rod
5) the crazier the things he says, the bigger the advance on the book deal
6) is totally full@s#i+
7) is phokking nuts
8) in his spare time he likes to throw people under CTA busses and L trains
9) secretly hates darky
10) all of the above.
As far as conspiracy theories like the federal government is behind the AIDS virus (uh, and wouldn't that have been to initally wipe out homosexual men? just askin'...) or 9/11: they can't deliver the phokking mail. BushCo. can't find their asses with one hand, let alone two, so it's hard to believe they arranged 9/11 since: it worked.
