| Barack Obama has finally distanced himself from Rev. Jeremiah Wright after a 20-year relationship, but the pastor who is replacing Wright at Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ is likely to be just as controversial.
New Trinity pastor Otis Moss has called Biblical patriarch Abraham a “pimp” and made other statements many would consider offensive.
After Obama called Wright’s comments “divisive and destructive,” a questioner noted that Rev. Moss has defended Wright and asked if Obama would continue attending the church.
“Well, the new pastor, the young pastor, Reverend Otis Moss, is a wonderful young pastor,” Obama responded. “And as I said, I still very much value the Trinity community.”
Moss, the 37-year-old “hip-hop pastor,” as he’s called by congregants, will become head of Trinity in June, after serving as an assistant pastor there for two years.
But a videotape of a sermon he delivered at Wright’s church shows this “wonderful young pastor” referring to “ghetto prophets” and “thug theology,” calling the late rapper Tupac Shakur a “prophet,” and reciting at length lyrics to Shakur’s song “Thugz Mansion.”

| i firmly believe many pastors of all religions have forgotten who they are supposed to be preaching for. Many seek religions of convenience as well to support these guys.
peace... don't be hatin'

| LOL Jays.
I don't associate with most of my relatives either but in no case is it because they're a racist
It wasn't tolerated in the house I grew up in.

SCW: Oh, I know that.
However, most of you don't seem to be able to define a racist or racism.
So how would you know?!

SCW: Why is telling the truth "divisive and destructive?"
I guess most white americans just want to hear that "America is the land of oats and honey," amber waves of grain, purple mountains majesty, and victim of the Japanese at Pearl Harbor."
I find it very "interesting" that the very people often complaining about having to be politically correct....are also the very ones WHINING that "Rev. Wright's words were NOT politically correct."
