Today was a hallmark in the campaign of Barak Obama. The Kennedyesque poise, intelligence, nuance, and ability to navigate delicately between widely varied constituencies, like poor whites and oppressed blacks, between millions of privileged college kids and our compassionate, progressive media, show he has the right stuff to be leader of the free world. As a Harvard man, he fully undertsands the abject ignorance, the racial fear, the superstitious religionists and gun lovers that are out there who simply have not the faintest capacity to understand Rev. Wright and the context he speaks in. Neither do people like you, Roger – a rich, spoiled Jew raised under bourgoisie mentality – trying to grasp what it means to live under years of oppresion, having your race wiped out by AIDS and Kentucky Fried Chicken moguls. You have never suffered.
