It is amazing how many people in the media are missing the point with the Pastor Wright's PR campaign. It makes a great deal of since for him to be encouraged by the Obama campaign to have him speak out at this time. Obama feels that he has this election won and his internal polls are showing him that he cannot lose next Tuesday's primary. Therefore, if Wright speaks his beliefs and hatred out at this time it will be better than after he receives the nomination.
I do believe that Obama and his wife, believes much of what Wright is saying. They like others in this country feel that racism is what's keeping Black poeple back and they want to make white people feel guilty about the past obstrocities. When you listen to what Pastor Wright is saying out of his own mouth during this PR trip, he is blamining American and Whites for all that is wrong around the world. He even blamed Whites for his complextion. I understand as a Black man what he means. He looks at how many White slave owners raped Black women who the owned and thus the lighter complextion Blacks have somewhere in their past a White father. However, what he does not state is how he and Obama have had many advantages that dark skin Blacks have not. This remains an argument in the Black community. It is interesting that Pastor Wright never puts the blame on us a people for problems from slavery through today.
What is surprising to me is how Blacks are quiet on this man's hatred speeches. Yet, I do understand that if a Black speaks up, they will be called an "Uncle Tom" or "The White Man's Fluncky." If a White person speaks out, they are called "racist." This is one blogger that will speak out on the issues every day.
Stay tuned
