127. Hmmm...I believe it was MLK who said the churces across
America are the most racially segregated places in America.

Now having pointed that out I can guarantee that a white individual would be more welcome in a black church than a black individual in a white church.

Rev Wright was speaking to a predominately black congregation and of the black experience, not the white experience. There are probably many poor people in his church also.

You can pretend that racism over the last 50 years didn't exist and you maybe one of those people that think that if something is uncomfortable you just don't talk about it.

Martin Luther King knew the ulitmate price of speaking out was possible 40 years ago. This is 2008 Rev. Wright is an American citizen and former Marine and he has the right to preach what he wants when he wants.

He made no death threats and he has not pointed out a segment of the population as the reason for disasters in theis country.

Finally, I still don't see the outrage over the White Preachers who hog up mainstream TV, and steal from their poor congregation and television audiences to live in palatial Mansions.

Racist and bigoted is hanging blacks from trees.
Blowing churches up and killing 4 little innocent black girls.
Dragging a black man behind a truck....

I could go on but this is probably pointeless to you....
