[quote Hibidder]I allowed him his defense that he was "taken out of context" so I downloaded the entire sermon(s) in podcast form.......
The "context" was worse than even the little bits I have heard. There was naked race-hatred, hatred of the
US and its Laws and the Constitution, blame whitey for everything, all the time. And, oh, yeah, we are owed!
No amount of context can justify shouting "G__ D___ America!" - particularly with such joy and enthusiasm.
Pay up, sucka. Reparations Now!
I think this post offers good food for thought. It's exemplary of the mindset of those who will never vote for Obama. And also of those who Obama thinks he can appease by distancing himself from Wright. And as such, evidence that distancing himself is the wrong approach.
Initially I thought the "Race" speech was sort of a score, and that BO was standing up for himself, but I'm reminded of the extent to which I've been allowing myself to embrace milquetoast and mediocrity, and feeling like BO's not got the spine to win my support.
