A very famous television actor (same #1 show for 9 years), was in a nightclub delivering his stand up act. For two dizzying minutes, he spewed vile invective upon a black member of the audience. Blacks were riled. Executives were riled. And Michael Richards hasn't worked. But he too had a sparkling career without incident but for one "mistake" he might still be marketable.
I dare say the sainted Obammy and the nearly-reverend Wright agree with Michael Richard's fate.
For the moment we can give Rev. Wright the benefit of the doubt. Hovever, with that benefit comes a responsibility for results. What exactly has Rev. Wright ever done to make the “racial divide” become smaller? What has he ever done in his career to lift up the black congregants of his church? What exactly has the Rev. Wright done to advace the principles espoused by Christ.
The comments were indeed taken out of context and that may not be an accurate reflection of the man. However, an examination of his deeds and the product of his works ARE fair game for scrutiny.
His works do reflect the man and I dare say that the Rev. Wright has been a dismal failure in is works as a minister, and as a Christian.
He is little more than a race hustler cloaked as a man of the cloth to deflect the scrutiny of his words and deeds.
