The Rev. Jeremiah Wright reminds me of Malcolm X
A real hatred of whitey.

Obama better distance himself as far as possible from this guy, even if he is a very good friend.

5. Why would anyone hate "Whitey?"
I can't imagine why.

Anyway, I think that's a pretty ridiculous reduction of both their philosophies.

7. Imagine if a prez candidate went to a church led by a Klansmen for two candidates
Exactly. That candidate would be toast...

Malcolm X may be a hero in the blogosphere but he won't sell in Peoria.

8. What's wrong with Malcom X?
"The American Negro never can be blamed for his racial animosities--he is only reacting to four hundred years of the conscious racism of the American whites. But as racism leads America up the suicide path, I do believe, from the experiences that I have had with them, that the whites of the younger generation, in the colleges and universities, will see the handwriting on the walls and many of them will turn to the spiritual path of truth--the only way left to America to ward off the disaster that racism inevitably must lead to." - Malcom X, 1964


He was just ahead of his time.
