I am curious to know what relevance slavery has to modern Blacks. Surely it is no more relevant than the Highland Clearances are to modern Scots.

After a couple of generations surely there comes a point where historical grievances — as bad as they may have once been — fade into insignificance.

What can the good Reverend Wright possibly know about slavery, that could possibly justify his vituperate fulminations from the pulpit? Methinks he uses “slavery” as a convenient peg to hang his bigotry hat upon.

Like all good con men, there must be a "mis-direction" in order to keep the "mark" from finding the "money card". Slavery is the universal misdirection. No one alive today was ever a slave, yet according to the civil rights organizations it happened only yesterday. Keep the people agitated and angry, don't let them discover truth for themselves, blame everyone else that's not your color for your own shortcomings.........
