Wright
Clearly Wright was correct on all points except for the AIDS comment, maybe. The truth is that most white Americans are clueless about how lucky they are to wake up every day to experience the advantage of white privilege. The fact that so many were upset about Wright's comments is proof of this cluelessness.
That said, I find it more astonishing that people that Kamiya actually get paid as so-called journalists. Obama is so shallow, says so little, and has proven himself to take his senatorial duties so lightly that I am more amazed that people need someone like Wright to cause them to question Obama's candidacy. Here's a suggestion - take a look at his record, read what Sean Wilentz and Matt Gonzalez have written about him. Men have made a mess out of the presidency so it's high time we gave the more intelligent gender a shot at it. Hillary Clinton speaks eloquently but she also says something. Her senate experience won over even her harshest repub critics. She has the skills, dedication, and work ethic to be president - Obama needs to spend a few years actually doing something and then maybe he'll be qualified to run for president.
