Insight, that is the biggest crock of dung I have ever read. We have all faced indignities in our life, and you can chose to let those indignities rule the day or you can chose to let them go. I have absolutely no problem with Rev. Wright being a racist, but please let’s credit him with what he truly is. Slavery is not a uniquely black experience nor is slavery something that is not still to this day practiced. It is practiced in the Middle East, as well as, Africa to this day. Whitey gave up the insideous practice of slavery well over 100 years ago. If slavery is the object of hatred that Wright feeds his racism from, then why is it he remains silent about slavery that continues to exist in the Middle East and Africa? Could it be that Wright merely wants to make a single race, a race he hates, pay atonement for the practice because he deems they have the deeper pockets? You cannot just separate Obama from Wright simply because Obama did not utter these statements. Obama has been well aware of Wright’s racism for years, and Wright’s bringing him to God does not justify Obama’s continued presence in Wright’s congregation as their are many who teach the word of God, the vast majority better than Wright did I might add.
