Its not Rev Wright. Its you. Who will never vote for a black man. If he was the Pope himself. Because he’s a black man. Rev Wright is simply an excuse.
Amanda, if it makes you feel better to believe that, go right ahead. I understand it can hurt when a candidate you care about self-destructs. I will simply point out that stereotyping, insulting and dismissing people is not a particularly productive strategy for changing their minds. I saw the same behavior from the academics in my department when Kerry lost in 2004 (“He lost because of those redneck gun-totin’ bible-thumpin’ inbred hicks!”) and was so profoundly put off by it that it forced me to reconsider and reevaluate my own political beliefs (ironic because I had been a dyed-in-the-wool Democrat before that time).
