118. I think Wright's comments illustrate that African-Americans and Caucasians
Edited on Sun Mar-16-08 03:08 PM by Flatulo
see our society through very different lenses. How could they not? On balance, American society has not been fair to our minorities. We're still inherently rascist by every metric one can imagine.

While I personally find Wright's sermons to be over the top, I can understand that his life experiences may have been the catalyst.

Electing an African-American as president would go a long way towards healing our national racial wounds.
