It's that Rev. Wright has been slandered and villified by the media, and I can sympathize with his attempts (finally) to defend himself while k.i.m.
@Chaos: But he has always been just this socially/politically engaged. He really is just being Jeremiah Wright, no more, no less; only now, there are a bunch of cameras in his face. I still wonder if they would have been at the NAACP meeting had he not been there. While I regret that this is being used to attack Obama, I have to say that if it were a difference between me continuing to live my life and do me(because Rev. Wright did decline interviews for a good while) or hiding away for the next seven months, I would keep living my life.

Oh I know that he's always been vocal and shook hands with politics and stuff. He's always been a figure in some of our communities. But now things are different and he needs to acknowledge that difference before it runs away from him. He isn't part of Obama's campaign, so I'm not saying to take a break because of that. I'm saying to take a break so that he can regroup and figure a way to get his MESSAGE to outweigh his IMAGE again.
He should definitely keep living his life, and speaking the truth, and not go into hiding. But I also don't believe that he's doing business the way he was before the mainstream spotlight was placed on him.
Sorry, T La Rock, LL killed it.
