Few Chicago Black Ministers Still Support Hussein
CHICAGO - About two dozen black ministers from the Chicago area say they’re behind Barack Obama despite his split from the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
The ministers said Friday they’re speaking out because they believe media attention on Wright has detracted from important issues in the presidential race.
The pastors refused to answer reporters’ questions about Wright. They only mentioned that the rift between Wright and Obama has been a distraction ahead of Tuesday’s critical Democratic primary in Indiana.
Over the past week, Wright has characterized criticism of his fiery anti-government sermons as an attack on the black church.
Obama has denounced Wright’s comments as “divisive and destructive.”

Are they behind him cause he’s black or do they think he will be a good president?…
May 2nd, 2008 at 9:50 amThe thing nobody seems to point out and its proven is Obama is only 5 percent black.
June 10th, 2008 at 5:02 pmHe only looks black.
He is 50 percent white and 47 percent Arab: re his Dad.
I wish someone would also point out his ancestary is Slave traders.
