Letters to the Editor

thanks for a great column
You've hit the nail on the head. I had to ask my students today in class if the "shock" that supposedly ran through the nation was real or not, because it seems bizarre that anyone would be shocked by what Wright said. Somehow if you don't find his comments from the pulpit scandalous that means 1) you agree with every word he said and 2) you are a suicide bombing, terrorist lover.
The kind of attacks on people who dare to say, "Grow up. We live in a racially segregated society, so we shouldn't be shocked to discover that Blacks and whites don't see the world in the same manner," exhibited in some posts here are trashy, anti-intellectual bullying. They should be ignored, and the brouhaha over Rev. Wright seen for what it is--much ado about nothing.
