If by "them" you mean black Americans, I hope you don't have the opinion that all or even most blacks think the way Jeremiah Wright does. I think that would be an unfortunate misperception of the way things actually are.
And the stuff that Jeremiah Wright preaches is not the norm in black churches. It is definitely out there, and is even popular in some circles, but it doesn't represent the majority of "black church" experiences on Sunday mornings.
I frankly think Jeremiah Wright has doing a disservice to the image of black churches, and so has the media, by giving people the impression that this stuff is normative in black churches, when it is definitely not.
You are so busy pointing your fingers at him that you are too blind to see the ones you are pointing at yourself. I'm done talking with you.
That is fine at least I am the one who is standing against a racist bigot who you are trying to defend. You want to say its ok for a black man to make racist remarks because of slavery and civil rights. Then you need to get over that. That is a dark period of our history and thank God I wasn't around for that. However, the past is the past. We have minorities that have gotten used to segregating on their own when it is good for them. They have historically black colleges, latino gatherings, etc., I think Martin Luther King wanted everyone treated equal, and now we see where his great message of hope has been prostituted into the fact that minorities get special treatment. What if there was a white history month, white appreciation days, etc. You have got to be able to see the double standard that has become the norm in our country. N

There are those minorities who don't want equal rights they want all the rights.

No double standard...for YEARS there were no people of color in magazines unless it was a Jesse Owens type. SO Mr. John H. Johnson founded Jet and Ebony. Nothing racist there...
Black History Month?! It was started by Carter Woodson, son of former slaves, who was disturbed to find the absence of Blacks in history books...if they were mentioned, it was in an inferior way, or sparingly, like George Washington Carver's accomplishments.
Black colleges?! It is because they couldn't be admitted into White schools.
Latino gatherings?! What is wrong with people of like heritage getting together?!
As for racism, is it alive and well YET today...again, my experience as a White woman in the Black community allowed me to see things first hand.
Are all things equal?! No way...
Is there racism on both sides?! You bet!!
But it's not just a "slavery is over...get over it" deal...it's about a 17 yr. old Apostolic girl being mistreated in a 7 Eleven...yes, in this century!!
It's about stuff you nor I can truly understand because we are not Black or Indian or Hispanic or Asian or of Middle Eastern descent.
I am not in favor of special treatment, but I am in favor of FAIR treatment...JMO...
where are all these obama and j wright apologists coming from, i dont believe there is any excuse for the things he said, they are hateful, and have no place in a sermon, and certainly mister obama cant expect me to believe that he didnt know this was going on in his own church, my own opinion of course, no excuse, dt

Chosen, you know as well as I do that this whole JW thing has nothing to do with JW. It's just a way of discrediting Barak Obama. After all, no one thought he would make it as far as he has.
You're so right! This (JW story) is starting to be the "swift boat" story of this year's Presidential campaign.
