Here’s a question for Mr. Moyer — would this speech satisfy you if the candidate who gave it and the spiritual advisor it referenced were white?

I highly doubt it.

If that were the case, I suspect nothing except the candidate’s immediate withdrawal from the campaign would satisfy you.

We have to get away from a double standard that says it’s wrong for white people to hate black people because they’re black (and, btw, it is wrong), but it’s okay for black people to hate white people because they’re white.

And that is precisely Rev. Wright — who says he embraces black liberation theology, which is defined as having a God who loves black people but hates white ones — has been preaching.
