Default Rev Wright

Will he hurt or help Obama's candidacy as far as African Americans go?
Do more blacks agree with him, or are more appalled by his comments?

From what I've seen at this forum, blacks love Reverend Wright. Even white commies [democrats] defend the good racist reverend's anti-American diatribe.


But will he hurt Obama's candidacy?

Yep, he already has.

I think he will hurt Obama's chances with blacks that believe in standing on their own two feet and help his chances among those that believe they are entitled to special treatment because of past racist attitudes by whites.

Not all blacks like or agree with Wright.

No, but all admitted blacks at this forum love the guy.

And there are plenty of whites who love him too. They can't articulate why, they just have a good feeling about a guy who makes them feel guilty for being white.

Bunch of retarded wimps who refuse to acknowledge the reality that blacks are ruining America.

Well, I am a mutt. Some black, some white, some latino, and I am sure there are a few others thrown in there too. I do not like that guy, and I have watched several of his sermons in full. I guess my ethnicity disqualifies my opinion.

I respectfully disagree. Hate and ignorance are destroying this nation.

I gain immediate respect for any black person who condemns wright, and there are plenty that do though a minority of the total. Juan Williams in my opinion has been on top of this from the start as well as plenty of others, pointing out that this guy is a racist evil prick who doesn't necessarily represent all blacks but unfortunately does represnt a lot of them and the dominant black culture of the moment.

Obama is doing the "wright thing" by disowning him now and saying it just the right way, music to my ears. I am gaining respect for him now that he is doing so, but it is too late to get my vote of course and I don't favor his policies anyway. Still, it says something good about Obama. He could have stuck by wright, as most blacks do, and still won the democratic nomination.
