If African American slave descendents born in the United States (U.S.) are not legal U.S. citizens then Fox News, Barack Obama, and others who have vehemently criticized Reverend Jeremiah Wright of Trinity United Church of Christ for his comments may owe him a big apology. If these Americans are legal U.S. citizens, the Bush administration and Barack  Obama owe black ministers like Reverend Harris of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) a response to that question. Criticizing Reverend Wright while failing to respond to Reverend Harris raises questions. The Bush Administration and other leaders, failed to respond to Reverend Harris, officer of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) and Ellen Dunn, President of African Americans for the Rule of Law (AAROL), when asked to confirm African Americans’ rights to citizenship. If African Americans are not legal U.S. citizens, then there are major issues under international law to be addressed. The issue is important under globalization and should not be swept under the rug and suppressed.

Even though the request is two years old, the SCLC and AAROL support Reverend Wright bringing this issue to the forefront for a response by Fox News and Barack Obama or other U.S. official with legal jurisdiction to make that determination. Access to legal citizenship is the focal point of democracy which is diplomatically exported all over the world.
