1. It's obvious to anyone who has paid attention to both Wright and Obama over the course of this campaign (even moreso if you happened to be paying attention longer) that the two do not share the same views on race relations in the US.
2. Rev. Wright's anger is not so strange when you consider the history that shaped it. He's anachronistic and too confrontational to be productive to the debate in today's climate... but I'm not going to call the guy evil or racist. Those would both be largely inaccurate classifications for him.
3. Rev. Wright does not speak for all blacks, all black churches, or even all members of his own church.

That's pretty much all I have to say on this tired subject.
