What about Wright don’t you get?
I just watched the Wright speech at the National Press Club. If anyone had any doubts about this man, those doubts should be swept aside by now.
America knows that Wright stands shoulder to shoulder with Louis Farrakan and the radical Nation of Islam. Indeed, the Nation of Islam is providing his personal security at the moment. We know that Farrakan is anti-Semitic. We know he has an extremist view of America and is not above inciting hatred with his speech.
So the question becomes simply this: What about the “Reverend” Wright don’t people get?
Perhaps Bill Moyers, the Black ministers cheering in the crowd and the journalists clapping at the National Press Club might re-read what Wright said this morning. His statements should have incited outrage, not standing ovations.
If anything, Wright confirmed the negative things said of him.
Remember that many people hate white people as much as the Pharisee Wright does. Despite what people have been taught by the likes of him. Racism is not something that is exclusive to the bitter gun toting, bible thumping white folks in flyover country.
The difference is that if you’re not white you can be a racist and not only get away with it, get celebrated for it.
No GOP politician could ever have an association like Obama does with Wright and survive the next election cycle.
