While I agree he spoke race in a public forum, I think he elequently race baited. Of course no one tarred and feathered him, think about it - when you play the black victim card you never get called on it. Sharpton, Jackson etc. prove that over and over.
He chose to be close to the black community in a vile church. He was not raised that way. I too have been around many black people and churches and I have never been biten by the hate white America rhetoric. In fact as a rule I found them to be just the opposite, good Christian houses of worship. Unlike Obamas choice to raise his girls in.
You hit the nail on the head. He was NOT raised that way. In a way, he took this “authentic black hatred” of Pastor Jeremiah and became BRAISED in it, probably for political gain.
I too have been in good black churches. I’ve been one lily white face among a sea of thousands of darker ones. I never heard this kind of foaming hatred, ever.
