Over the last few weeks I've found myself starting to lump people into groups again and I had to remind myself a lot of great influences and teachers in my life were black.
See I never, rarely, ever thought of them that way. I just thought of them as Darrell or Viginia..etc.
We have to remember 'rev" Wright is atypical, he's a blight because he's a hater and for no other reason.
I am not sure that Reverend Wright is atypical, but just as there is no typical white person, there is also no typical black. I do now believe that this is more prevalent in their community than I would have thought before this point in time.
It saddens me, it insults me, it makes a mockery of what I have taught my son. That is: All people deserve respect until they act in such a way that they deserve to lose respect.
What a pathetic, yet eyeopening turn of events, we get to see that no matter what we do, we are hated for things that we had no part in and did not do.
