I'm a bit surprised at the negative fallout from the National Press Club speech. The people in attendance, including the whites, seemed to like it pretty well. Apart from the AIDS conspiracy thesis, Wright's views aren't much different from the more leftward 50% of the Democratic Party.
Wright also had a remark to the effect that it's still common for church-going whites to put on KKK robes and go around killing black people.

He didn't phrase the argument in approved left PC rhetoric and managed to expose the Messianic candidate who in reality holds the same views, but who's worked so hard to be a "non-threatening" amorphous mass of hope and change. Wright committed the unforgivable sin of brutal honesty in the land of the left.
