What concerns me is how many black Americans would stand up to denounce Wright, but nobody is offering them a forum to do so.
So far, the only denunciations I have heard are from other black clergy. But you would think that large numbers of educated middle and upper class black Americans would be livid at his racist and repugnant diatribes.
They are living proof that his racist crackpottery are utter lies. *Their* children don’t act in an uncontrolled, undisciplined and emotionally immature way in school. In fact, they push themselves to excel just as much as any determined student will. And those that can, *do* excel.
Their children, like their parents, do not associate with lower class people out of choice. And they are rightfully resentful being compared to the underclass of any race. They have worked their whole lives to be successful, and nobody has the right to deny them their rewards.
It is doubly disturbing that Barack Obama would listen to such tripe without leaving that church in disgust. This is because, for 20 years, Wright has essentially been denouncing everything that Obama *is*.
Who in their right mind wants to listen to a sermon where the minister points to your life and calls you inferior and incapable? For 20 years?
There's tons of forums. There's news outlets, the internet, etc. Haven't heard much denouncing, though. I think the problem is bigger than many on this site want to believe. Racial unity is a great and noble goal that I support. But I'm not sure many in the black community are going to be so receptive due to liberal brainwashing. I think it runs very deep.
