I agree, Believer, that JWright exhibits some contradictory impulses.
At more than a few points in that (fawning, softball)interview, you’d be scratching your head to try to figure out where he might be going.
It occurs to me that JWright is torn between the notoriety and wealth he has garnered in Southside Chicago* politics and some kind of inkling that what he does in the name of personal prestige (like praise Louis Farrakhan) doesn’t exactly square with the less “worldly” side of things.
JWright might rail against whitey, but has built his own huge retirement home in a largely white (2% black) gated golf community near Chicago, Henley Park.
*You know, where gang members have recently been slaughtering each other with alacrity ?
