Rev. Wright was right, but he went about it all wrong.

OF COURSE the Clintons have a hand in this. PUH-leeze. But as I listen to Obama’s victory speech in NC (he flattened the @$%!) … I can see that its to no avail, and …

… to use the words of Miss Sofia … “I know’d that dere is a God!”

LOL. Eat it Hillary!!!

Finally, I want to say a word about the basic decency I have seen in Mr. Obama. Mrs. Clinton continues to throw the Rev. Wright up in his face as part of her mission to keep stoking the fears of White America. Every time she does this I shout at the TV, “Say it, Obama! Say that when she and her husband were having marital difficulties regarding Monica Lewinsky, who did she and Bill bring to the White House for ‘spiritual counseling?’ THE REVEREND JEREMIAH WRIGHT!”

I believe Hillary would do anything to keep this in the news.

I also believe that Obama knew about (and perhaps encouraged) Wright’s catapult back into the news. Every time Wright says something outrageous from now on, Obama will use it as an opportunity to distance himself from Wright and label Wright an extremist.

Obama is a politician, and he knows that strategy will work with mainstream America.

Give it a few weeks, and A.D.D. America will get bored with Wright, and the last thing they’ll remember will be Obama demonizing Wright.

My name is Derrick Mathis. I sent you a friend request on Facebook. You took my Gone Too Soon quiz a while ago. Anyway, I came across your blog and remembered you from the quiz…hence the Facebook friend request.

After reading it I liked your blog and I subscribe to it now. But to the point at hand:

I wouldn’t be surprised either if Clinton and her posse had a role in the whole Rev. Wright situation. It wreaks of political sabatoge. And politics is a very dirty business as the previous commentor pointed out. And in terms of politics and it being dirty business, nobody knows this better than THE CLINTONS. I wouldn’t put anything past them to do what they think they have to do to get what they want.

There’s a silver lining in all this, though. I think that by Obama publicly denouncing Rev. Wright, the politician made black history. He catapulted black America into another socio-political dimension. Kinda’ like what Berry Gordy did for black music and black image and our culture. It’s time for us to let go of the blinding ways of christianity that we’ve held on to since European religious practice were introduced to us by the African slave owner. I know I won’t create any friends for saying this. But I’m saying it anyway. Those beliefs served us powerfully during and before the civil rights movement. I don’t discount the power of a religeous faith made unstoppable by a collective mind. But in the new millenium as Rev. Wright so painfully demonstrated, those beliefs and ways of thinking have no place in today’s political arena. I’d dare to say they don’t even have a place in black leadership, not in the national or civic lawmaking realm.

I’m betting that Obama will recover from this. But the implications from this event will continue to reverberate within the nation’s black community. I think it is a sign that we are yet again in the process of redefining what it means to be black here in America. Obama, I believe, is symbolic of this.
