This country might have been founded on religion but as an African American our forefathers were slaves under the religion that many whites used to oppress black peoples. We know like other groups of people that hate is debilitating. Rev. Wright would not be such a huge issue if the media did not give him media coverage. Stop the coverage and see how powerful he is. As much as I love black preaching, and loved his speech at the NAACP, his statements since that time has truly saddened and embarrassed me. One CNN commentator, whose comments I had a great deal of admiration for and who used to give pretty balanced and unbiased comments, said Obama needs to show some anger, anger, anger at Rev. Wright. Wow! that would be just what the doctor ordered - anger, division, hate. Why must blood be drawn to prove that people are serious about their opinions. Do we really have to torment, and torture people to prove a point. This would really have license to say Obama is just another angry black man. I was taken aback to here this advice from the media. These remarks instigate the same hate you protest. The media continues to talk about black and white, race, and how many blacks are doing this and how many whites are doing that---why! Why do you continuously make distinctions all day, all night long. I think you are making it a race issue by continuing to bring up these separations. Hillary Clinton had a part in lighting the fire to all of this bickering. She lit the fire and is watching it burn. The media is so easily manipulated. I thought you were smarter. Some people specialize in throwing rocks and hiding their hands. If you notice when the Rev Wright/Obama media blitz is out Hillary is quiet. Think she's enjoying this? I think the Republicans want Hillary to win as a strategy because they know they will win against her. I think the republicans want Hillary to win because many of them are used to whites running the country and are afraid, downright scared of another culture running the country. Fear is a very powerful emotion. Fear is what fueled Hitler,the Klu Klux Klan,the Skin Heads, etc. The fear of whites and the wrong they've done to others, from a systemic perspective, is the reason whites themselves are so fearful. I see fear in whites. Fear usually comes before hate. Blacks and whites have race issues we need to work on. Neither race is clear or better when it comes to race - one for being involved with racism from a perpetrators perspective and the other for being involved with racism from a victims perspective. We all need therapy when it comes to racism. The world is watching and I'm sad that they have to see once again, since the civil rights movement, how utterly immature, selfish, and mean we are around race - God gave none of us a prescription for who we wanted to be. None of us asked to be the race we are but all of us can control our character and this is disgraceful - yet again. Young people are so far ahead of this. It is the older generation who continues to carry the dissention. No wonder our children call us hypocrits.Our children don't like it people - they are watching.
OBAMA -- PLEASE BE STEADFAST, STAY THE COURSE, AND LET NO ONE SEPARATE YOU FROM THE GOAL OF WORKING WITH US THE PEOPLE - BLACK & WHITE TO HELP MAKE THIS UNITED STATES A MODEL OF HUMANITY!
