Yes it is about Wright.

What you don't get is that you are trying to put everyone in their nice little boxes and have everyone check off where they stand.

What Senator Obama said in response to your question was if you are trying to bring people together people who have traditionally hated each other - in this case he is talking specifically about the rampant homophobia in parts of the Black community - then its going to get messy. But its better than trying to keep things separate and in a stalemate.


Rev Wright is one of the most outspoken critics of black homophobia. Obama supports confronting black homophobia. Not only that he goes to the most sacred center of the Black community on the most sacred day King's birthday - he calls out the Black community for not embracing gays. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf0x_TpDris

But because he doesn't want to publicly embarrass a self hating gay black man you focus on that.

Most reasonable people would rather have a leader that goes for the bigger issue with the bigger community on the bigger day in the center of the community. But not you. You will use the lack of his wanting to crucify this pathetic self hating gay individual.

You would take the position that his answer has nothing to do with the post. You would rather check the spelling. Knock yourself out keep hate alive. And by all means when Black leaders stand up to homophobia in the black community turn the other way.
