Amen.
Obama is sure in a pickle. The 90% black vote may even go lower after he threw his minister under the bus with Grannie.
You are so correct in your statement that the “race war” is WITHIN the black community. See article below in the Pittsburgh Tribune Review:

Sen. Barack Obama’s former pastor speaks the truth, speaks for the black church and speaks for some black Pittsburgh ministers, said the Rev. Thomas E. Smith, pastor of Monumental Baptist Church in the Hill District.
Smith cited one of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s most-publicized pronouncements, his description of the Sept. 11 terror attacks as “America’s chickens coming home to roost” due to U.S. foreign policies, as an example of one of those truths.
“Wright didn’t slam our country in any way,” said Smith, who has known Wright for about 20 years and considers him a friend. “He spoke about policies that put our country in jeopardy and human beings around the world in jeopardy.”
Remarks in recent days by Wright have riven the nation’s black community into opposing camps.
