The current fracas about Wright and Obama is like Katrina

[cali]

It exposes the raw, ugly racism that still exists in this country. So called liberals aren't immune. That's evident right here at DU. The double standard is in stark evidence with Obama just as it was in the aftermath of Katrina.

Right wing religious leaders? No problem. Left wing religious leaders? As long as they're white.

Calling Wright a racist is bullshit. Calling him a man who's said some incendiary and less than helpul things is a lot more accurate. Refusing to understand the cultural background that Wright came out of is another form of racism. Part of the double standard. Accusing Obama of "throwing his WHITE grandmother under the bus"- and it's always stressed that she's WHITE- is another form of racism.

The basic theme of undermining Obama has always been that he's not really who he says he is. He's a stealth Muslim. He's a stealth Republican. He's a stealth left wing radical. He's a stealth angry black man who just wants to "get Whitey".

I know how some people will respond to this; with the same tired crap about how Wright is a racist hater and Trinity is a hate purveyor, and Obama is part of it.

I don't think the media onslaught or the Clinton kitchen sink (we now know they're working this as hard as they can with SDs) or the faux liberals will be able to cost Obama the nomination, but they sure have revealed themselves again- just as they did over Katrina.
