We no longer accept white leaders giving speeches fostering hate toward blacks. I really thought that over time, and with races mixing at school when people are young, that racism would continue to decline with each generation.

I listened to most of Wright's speech until he started singing. It seemed OK. I thought it was funny when he talked about Kennedy "pocking the ca". From what I've heard on TV, I changed the channel before it got interesting.
I agree. I think most of it relates to the fact that many of these people WANT to keep racial tension and divide. They try real hard to keep it alive. It's how the Jesse Jacksons, Al Sharptons, and Rev. Wright's make their money. So if it's ever totally resolved, they are out of a high-paying, easy job. And that is sad, truly sad.
