It's Not about what Rev Wright said it's about what Obama did
There is no hysteria about what Rev Wright says .There are religious fanatics of many colors,enough to go around for everyone.The issue boils down to one of two possible answers for americans,either Obama didn't realize what was being preached in his church or was just trying for credit points from the black community and just playing politics.This is a big character and judgement red flag either way folks.This is enough concern for most to wish to dig a little deeper and do a good backround check.He is applying for,after all, one of the most important jobs we people have to offer.The only hysteria being created is by media trying to make the masses feel somehow wrong for being duly diligent in checking the backround and character of every applicant for that position.If Barrack Obama is who he claims he should welcome the scrutiny and take the opportunity to show americans he truly is the dream of Martin Luther King realized and that he boldly stands for the content of character over the color of skin.If a Church preaches hate and racism the congregation is taught to be racist and hateful.The long time connection by Barrack is a concern . We need to be sure he will represent all of us and not just some of us.When the Al Sharptons,Jesse Jacksons,and Barrack Obamas speak out equally against the Rev Wrights as they do the Rev Falwells of the world we will know the black community has finally liberated itself from the many among them who profit from this racial hatred and bigotry. The majority of americans see this,because we all live it, and in the words of John Lennon "If you want money for people with minds that hate,all I can tell you is brother you have to wait".We won't elect a president who hates or couldn't recognize it for 20 years and take a stand firmly against it either.That person would not make a good president.
