"They" have never been embarrassed by Rev. Wright- and "they" are happy as pigs in mud to be able to allow him to now parade himself around and spew even more of his vitriolic hate & vile discontent as if he was WRONG'D. (emphasis on the D) I've heard no less than 4 African Americans speak since last night about this latest speech of Rev. Wright & all of them agree that it's just crazy what he's doing. They don't agree with it & they all say they've never seen this type of crap in their churches. He looked like he was a raving lunatic while giving this speech. At times his eyes would bulge out & get very wild looking as they widened. He was really crazy looking when he talked about Obama making it possible for a black woman spend the night in the White House. Legally. Of course the audience just ate that up as if it were just the funniest thing. Good grief, if I were Michelle Obama, I'd be insulted at being included in that type of exclamation. What a piece of work this guy is. AND I'm totally convinced he is loving every minute of stirring up the pot, too.

It is obvious that many blacks feel there is some truth to the whole 'the man' thing and that's not unreasonable in a nation that not only was founded on white superiority, but just loves the issue to this day. It sells. People like Wright mean what they say, are passionate about it and have an audience that likes the whole oppression business, never mind the pews are full of MBA's, CEO's, lawyers, doctors, political leaders and Harvard graduates enjoying preachers who live in multi million dollar homes and so forth. This is a cause, just like the environment, gay rights, abortion or any other big name issue in American politics. Causes need tending or they die off. They don't need to be right or just or past expiration date. They simply need support and they live. The problem is that Wright is no longer on the periphery. We're seeing that Obama could NOT distance himself and denounce Wright because of this seriousness of cause; it would be like Pelosi denouncing San Francisco or W denouncing the religious right. You can take exception here and there, but you can not bite the hand that feeds. The fact is that blacks are not racists in the sense of historical white racism which was white superiority. They are not black supremacists. They are, however, racial in the sense of feeling owed and are happy to use race to achieve goals. Wright is not about to let the moment pass in such way that all he's worked for is suddenly invalidated at the grand moment because it might be making the champions tie feel a little tight. That's why he said he's going to come 'get' Obama if he wins. He's going to come and remind him of all the injustice's, real or perceived, and all the conversations about remedy and how to fix things. Moments come and go. This may be the last opportunity for a black liberal to get this far. Blacks are falling behind Hispanics and Hispanics don't give a crap about slavery. This is an epic moment in politics because of that; the immovable force of the BIG opportunity of a liberal black going all the way meets the immovable object of the Clinton's determination to reach their goals back-dropped against fleeting opportunity. Dean and company know damn well Obama's candidacy may well implode at this rate yet they can not dare pat Obama on the butt, tell him nice game and send him to the bench. And Hillary and Bill's power comes from one and only one thing; winning. She loses and it's likely over for her to ever reach the White House. Dean has to deal with that, Obama's tenuous position and the simple fact that Hillary, with all of her negatives, is nowhere near as big a gamble as Obama is; he's on the verge of being a lame duck who MUST win the nomination yet can NOT win the race. The expiration label on reparation politics is growing near precisely because of the ascension of Obama. If he loses, the post mortem will be he was too liberal, not too black. Most on the right already believe race and gender are dead as causes. We'd all vote Condi tomorrow. Obama's liberal/left heritage is coming home to roost. Damn fine political age we live in. Only in America!

Michael Steele is on FNC right this minute talking to Megan Kelly saying that the fact that Obama didn't denounce this business -IS a problem for Obama. IS A problem. And HE even said that it's not just Republicans against this type of crap - it's also a lot of Democrats. Last I saw, Michael Steele was black.
