Rev. Jeremiah Wright isn't the problem
The hysteria over Obama's former pastor's attacks on America shows we're still in thrall to knee-jerk patriotism.

  • Thanks for writing this

    Thanks for trying to balance out some of the "concern troll" garbage that has appeared in Salon's pages lately. ("Concern troll" is a phrase I just learned here, and it's kinda catchy!)

    Please....let's move on. Yes, Barack Obama is at least partially a black man. And -- ooh, scary -- he has friends who are black! And, even scarier, some of them have OPINIONS! Oh noes!

    Weren't we done with this "What will Archie Bunker think of his new black neighbors?" crap back in 1972?
