Seriously, is Obama still a real contender for Dems? He now says that perhaps he doesn’t know the Rev. Wright as well as he thought. Really? He knows the guy for 20 years and sings his praises, but claims he didn’t know about Wright’s very public hate-mongering and whatnot. That is quite a large portion of BS to swallow. I’ll wash that down with some Spanish ham I found in Philly.
I do have a serious question however. I am curious as to why Dr. King is mentioned in most articles about Obama and Rev. Wright. Those two don’t belong on the same page as Dr. King, and comparing them is akin to comparing apples and bowling balls. It should be quite obvious to everyone that Dr. King’s dream has been mutated and corrupted in his absence. I look around and I don’t see a shred of Dr. King’s legacy in our current culture. Rev. Wright and his pals say their brand of rhetoric is pervasive, and gangster rap is still around, among a myriad of other problems. We see O.J. Simpson, Rodney King, and Michael Jackson in the media causing controversy and division but we don’t see anyone like a Dr. King causing beneficial and non-violent controversy. It’s really a shame, for the country as a whole. The racial divide has existed for a very long time and it’s getting wider. The Obama-Wright debacle is just another disappointment in a long line of disappointment with the African-American community.
Obama started out saying he would unite our country and heal the racial divide. Sounds great but guess again folks, it’s just another empty promise by a false prophet.
