Not once in my conversations with [Rev. Wright] have I heard him talk about any ethnic group in derogatory terms, or treat whites with whom he interacted with anything but courtesy and respect. ... I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother – a woman who helped raise me,... but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.

IOW...Black Wright is not Racist. White Granny is Racist.

One of the primary points of Wright's screeds I've read is that "Black Racism" is not really possible. Seems like the student agrees.

So THAT’s why granny is under house arrest.

I've heard that his grandmother is still around but is off limits to interviews. True?
