Illinois State Sen. James Meeks:

"We don't have slave masters, we got mayors," Meeks said then while preaching. "But they are still the same white people who are presiding over systems where black people are not able to be educated. You got some preachers that are house n------. You got some elected officials that are house n------. Rather than them try and break this up, they're gonna fight you to protect that white man."

That was back in 2006. Since then, Meeks, an Obama pledged delegate, has backed off his word choice:

Shortly after Flannery's story aired two years ago, Rev. Jesse Jackson said it was time to stop using the N-word. And Rev. Meeks announced from his South Side pulpit that he was "retiring" the N-word from his vocabulary.

Meeks' aired remarks resurfaced on Hannity & Colmes last night -- according to CBS Chicago, which originally reported the story in 2006, "without permission."

Although Meeks is associated with Obama, this doesn't seem like another Wright scandal. With Wright, the problem for Obama is explaining a 20-year relationship. But what Meeks does remind of us of is that Wright hardly had a monopoly on incendiary preaching in the Windy City.
