#1 Wright is a racist. If Obama agrees with him, then Obama's a racist, too. It's as simple as that.

#3 This is nonsense. King was marginalized by '68 because he was no longer working on civil rights but on economic rights and anti-war pap like that.

The idea of an Italian American mainstream is what? Ludicrous. Is it Ferraro or Giuliani? Neither, because they are part of the American mainstream. Or at least Giuliani is. As long as there is an African American mainstream, there will not be an African American president.

Hussein had run on the idea that he was part of the American mainstream, not the African American mainstream. But he blew it when at the same time he declared Wright to be within the African American mainstream and the grandmother who raised him to be a typical white. So who's the typical black? Wright?

He's a fool and he's probably set back the chances of a black rising to national office a generation because until it's been forgotten, every black who tries is going to be asked what he thinks about Wright's comments.

All blacks are going to get to a point where they have to choose between their race and their country. When Hussein reached that decision point he choked. And Sister Souljah should have taught him he could choose his country and win with both blacks and whites in doing so. Instead he chose the easy win with blacks and now he can get all their votes.

#6 "Another Angry Black Preacher"

Let's assume for the sake of argument that the Christian religion is the right one. I'm not Christian, but I do know enough about the religion and what Jesus said to know that, according to the teachings of Jesus, these "Angry Black Preachers" and their followers are going to be in for a very fat surprise when they die.

Or, to put it in non-religious terms, karma's a bitch, baby, and will sooner or later bite you in the ass.

If I hope it's sooner for these racist clowns, does that make me a bad person? ;-p

#7 Barbara, dear, you could never be truly bad. Efficient, certainly, but in the end that's better for all involved, however uncomfortable the object might find it at the moment. ;-)

#9 Schadenfreude is not a cardinal sin, at least not the last time I asked.

#10 Another Angry Black Preacher...

I suppose if or when Hildebeast manipulates the superdelegate vote to her advantage, there will be a lot of angry black preachers--probably a lot of angry blacks donk voters.

#12 Let me get this straight....White people bad eventhough without them slavery would have continued. Husseins Black father left him....is this typicial black behaviour? White mother and white Grandparents raised aboandoned boy, and they are the typical white people. Seems to me we need more typical white people.... Just my observation but I see many typical white people raising kids of typical black men who have typically abandoned their own... all this has happened since typical liberal leaders have promised that they can provide for the typical black person.....Can I get a Witness!

#13 Wright was operating within a long tradition of African American outrage, which is one reason Obama could not walk away from his old pastor in the name of political survival.

Note the term "long tradition". Methinks that Rev. Wright was looking for a paycheck, much like that other "reverend" Je$$e Jackson. I made note of the term "long tradition," because for most of us white folks born AFTER the Civil Rights movement, even in the South, race doesn't mean anything. I live in the "Black Mecca" (Atlanta, GA), yet, I'm proud to listen to country music and discuss politics like this with a 65+ year old black man at work who grew up in Brooklyn. You'd be amazed at how many issues we see eye-to-eye on that NEED attention (the economy, illegal immigration and it's effects on EVERYTHING, health care, retirement for us "generation Y" kids, etc.).

I think this anger is of a bygone era, and it could very well be the death-throes of the "old school" civil rights advocates, who have NOTHING better to do than continue to "remember the past" and look for payouts/shakedowns. Part of me wishes these clowns would die off, so REAL racial progress will move on. But, even here in the "deep South", you wouldn't believe the progress already made....inter-racial dating, "non-denominational" churches (who have congregants from every nation on the planet), very professional folks (of all races) working together 9-to-5 to feed their kids, more attention being paid to the value of family/marriage on raising children, etc.
