It seems “Big media” , Hillary supports, and the right wingers will not let the Reverend Wright controversy (no not “scandal”) die even after Barack Obama’s speech in which he denounced some of Wright’s inflammatory comments (again) and addressed race relations in our country.
I think the main problem besides the inherent racism that is fueling the controversy, most people have not heard the whole sermons of Rev. Wright but only the short clips which are out of context that has been provided by the media
Here is a couple of good videos on illseed found in this post that allows you to hear the whole sermon and puts the Reverend’s comments in perspective…
This is the best speech I have heard in a long time and can be compared to famous speeches by the likes of John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King. I think Obama has answered all the questions about him in regards to the race card, black churches, and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. He is right on about our shared history of racial problems and that we have made progress but there is more to achieve yet. It is so refreshing to see a true leader who is a statesman and not a mere politician who can speak the truth without preaching to you and wants to unite instead of divide us. Yes, I am contrasting him to George Bush…
This is a very personal speech for Obama and understand he wrote it himself. Hoping teachers will show this speech in their classrooms tomorrow for their students since I believe it will prove to be history making on Obama’s path to the Presidency.
