Transcript, Jeremiah Wright at the Vatican, April 21, 2008
JEREMIAH WRIGHT: So anyway, I don't really like being here. A bunch of garlic noses looking down their oily, crooked garlic noses... at me! I'm a brother. I don't wanna be with this bunch of Christ-killers.
POPE:
JEREMIAH WRIGHT: And you just sit there, you don't say nothin! You don't do anything to help Jesus, a brother. Look at this place! You are... rich, white, people! You aint never been called a n---er! You were never a little black boy at home. Barack was! Barack knows what it's like to be in a country... controlled by... (screaming) rich, white people!
POPE:
WRIGHT: They're putting my brother Wesley Snipes... in prison! There is no rest on this earth for Jesus' real brothers. What'd you do for Wesley? Did you send a letter to your congressperson? Did you call Al Sharpton? Did you send one of your greasy, garlic-nose lawyers to my brother's arraignment?
POPE:
WRIGHT: You meet with Bush. But you don't meet with Oprah!
POPE:
WRIGHT: You don't meet with Barack!
POPE:
WRIGHT: You come blessing this country, the US of KKK-A! You musta left your hood home that day! You know the US government created the AIDS virus just to kill people of color?
POPE:
WRIGHT: And I know you're really a Jew! You went to a synagogue!
POPE:
WRIGHT: Did you visit Louis Farrakhan?
POPE:
WRIGHT: There aint no social gospel in your gospel, Pope!
POPE:
WRIGHT: Buncha pedophiles! Like Thomas Jefferson!
POPE:
WRIGHT: Your church turns away black people! You turn away gay people! You're full of hate! They say I'm full of hate, but they're looping the sound bytes and taking me out of context.
POPE:
WRIGHT: You fought in the Nazi Army! Look at how Hitler treated Jesse Owens! Although Brother Louis says he's a great man...
POPE:
WRIGHT: Were you at the Million Man March?
POPE:
WRIGHT: Did you know Jesus was a black man?
POPE:
WRIGHT: I know you listen to Rush Limbaugh...
POPE:
WRIGHT: You're a racist Nazi! Of the worst kind! And I'm getting outta here. The only good thing about this place is the pizza.
POPE: God bless you.
WRIGHT: Go to hell! I worship an awesome God! Yes, We, Can! Did you get all that Moyers?
BILL MOYERS: Yes. Thank you, your holiness. And thank you too, Pope.
POPE:
