The whole sermon shows Wright as more racist, hatefilled, and bigoted than the soundbites….A BLACK RACIST IS STILL A RACIST!

Some would have us discontinue the discussion of the 20 year Wright-Obama relationship and its impact on the wisdom of elevating Obama to the presidency. Assume that McCain or Clinton had a similar relationship with someone reasonably seen as a hater of this nation. Would not the discussion of that relationship continue until the other candidate were forced to withdraw? If so, then what is the justification. other than race discrimination, for failing to hold Obama to the same standard?

It seems to me the same rhetoric as Farrakhan and Malcolm X have used to keep the racial anger going strong for many years.  The American Blacks seem to love and follow them in spite of the hatred shown to white people.  If that were reversed and white people were showing great love for white leaders who spout hatred for the black race, there would be an uproar.  Where is the white indignation?  Are people hiding it to be ‘politically correct’, or just too stupid to see in advance what the result of that rhetoric can become?

I have no qualms about a black president, but it must be a black person who doesn’t cling to negatives from over 100 years ago.  We all have those type negatives that serve only to hold us back from unity and equality.  Certainly a President would be expected to go forward, not backward.
