Wrong about Wright.
No, Wright is not the problem, Obama is. And this is not about the war; it is about unfulfilled expectations. Wright did not grow up the segregated souh, but in Philadelphia. So he might well have more in common with Bill Cosby than with Farrakan. Things are still very racial in Philadelphia, but it's like the racism of any multicultural city, say. ancient Alexandria where Jews, Greeks, and Egyptians clashed all the time. Someone has to be on top in such situations, and Wright is obviously angry that it is not rhe blacks. Let's face it: its always hell to be in the minority: just ask a Republican in the House under Nancy Pelosi. But on may ask: what purpose is served by using a pulpitt to scream epethets at one's racial enemies? Sould the Pubbies be holding rallies to denounce Italians? And getting back to the point, why has a "cool" cat like Obama hung around with this bitter, bitter man for so long? Could it be that he himself is represssing some bitter. bitter feelings arising from growing up as a black boy in a white family? Birght as he is. that has not kept him from rising in the world with very little resistance from the oppressive white society that Wright decries so loudly. Could it be that here we have another victim of affirmative action?
