His hateful views do seem more consistant with those of the Nation of Islam, don't they?

Too many people in this country form hypocritical views when it comes to racism, tolerating levels of racism much higher coming from one group than they do another. Some even go so far as to define racism as exclusive to one race and give certain others free reign to indulge in whatever they please. I agree with Obama that we need a national daalogue when it comes to race, and I happen to be content with the way he has reacted to the Wright debacle, but what Wright shows so very clearly is that racism is racism, and hatred is hatred.

How can we truly combat racism if we indulge in witch hunts looking for the tiniest sign of racism in some people, but give other people a free pass?
