Yes, there are whites who think this just like there are men (particularly white males) who think Clinton is going to revenge women if she's elected.
How about, is Obama next going to take back his comment about turning the White House bowling alley into a basketball court if he's elected? You know, that comment had to have made some people nervous and will be used by some to say "Obama's change isn't the kind of change we need...we don't want fish fries at the White House."
Oh well, I agree with Rev. Wright's comments and he has my endorsement for whatever he's running for right now.  If he isn't running for anything then I need him to get back behind the pulpit and get his butt out of the political realm for a while. |
I take this back.
Obama had to denounce Wright and respond to what Wright said about Obama specifically. Obama admitted that he didn't know Wright as well as he thought he did and wasn't as close as he thought.
While I agree with the viewpoints that Wright initially expressed, he is doing too much. He has way too much experience and education to NOT know what impact his actions from this point on (not just what he said behind the pulpit) can have on the Obama campaign. He also knows about race and America so, unless he's being paid by the Clintons or the Repubs, he needs to have a seat. Not go into hiding or take back everything he said behind the pulpit about race and this country, but have a seat on that other nonsense.
