There is a contingent of the black population that fears living without the “white oppression / slavery” safety net — because without it, that means they have to go through life completely responsible for their own circumstances.
Guys like Wright, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton simply give them what they want: excuses.
This is not to say all black people need this, or that Obama buys in or is in any way responsible for it. But the author is right, if Barack wants to help heal racial divides, he can start by telling Wright how very wrong he is.
