Who knew that Richard Smallwood was so far left? The legendary black gospel performer was smartly uninvited from the White House's celebration of Gospel Music Heritage Month after performing at a retirement party for the controversial radical Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Smallwood has been invited to perform at the White House before, but he turned the invitation down, citing "atrocities of the Administration on the lives of African Americans, especially the middle and lower class." And he tells Gospelcity.com that he wouldn't accept an invitation even if it was offered.
