Prometheus 6

Been a while since I payed a lot of attention to Washington Journal. Today they opened with "Is Rev. Jeremiah Wright a legitimate Presidential campaign topic?" So many newspaper articles on him hit today, they couldn't avoid it.

A lot of Black folks made it through and I'm pretty damn pleased by most of their answers. Folks are not ducking. Many said "no" because McCain's connection to Hagee isn't challenged, because the Rev. is doing damn good work, because he not Obama...and many said yes because we need to look at this white supremacy thing, because we should look at Hagee too.

There was even a non-Black guy (I think) that was fed up with the discussion.

But this guy was far more typical of the Republican reaction.

I'll be honest...I understand why what is being presented of Rev. Wright scares a lot of white folks. That bothers me, but not for the reason you'd like it to. I invite the people who are disturbed or frightened by those fractional sermons to compare Rev. Wright's teaching to any other putatively racist teachings. I particularly invite comparison to white supremacists.

You know who they are, stop fronting.
