"I agree with Gary Kamilya's thesis that there should be a national discourse about the issues surrounding race, blind patriotism in this county, and out involvment internationally, however, the path that Wright takes is not the correct path to bring this about."
Perhaps there is no "correct path," but rather a number of paths, depending on the audience and context.
Was Wright addressing the nation, or simply his congregation?
Is anyone proposing that we adopt Wright's tone, rhetoric, etc. in launching a "national discourse?"
I don't think so, but maybe I'm missing something.
Maybe Wright's path was the right one for his congregation at that moment in history.
Maybe not, but again, I don't think anyone's putting this forward as the universal model by which to launch this particular conversation.
Do you agree?
