I've always been curious to see what we can find if we did an audit of Clinton and McCain's ministers' sermons.<BR/><BR/>@ Malik and KC: What's interesting to me is not necessarily the hypocritical component of people's analysis on Rev. Wright. Instead, what I'm interested in seeing is how people will remember Wright 50 years from now. If you recall, Dr. King was widely reviled by folks just prior to his assassination. J. Edgar Hoover and his FBI had documented instances of planting wiretaps and spreading demeaning rumors. Spiro Agnew called King a "nattering nabob of negativity". Many people opposed King's anti-Vietnam stance. He simply was not well-liked. But death has a way of bestowing nobility on even the most socially detested people. <BR/><BR/>I wonder if the same can be expected for Rev. Wright.<BR/><BR/>@ Greeny: "<I>Pity, it shows how much hasnt changed , in fact ,gotten worse:(</I>"<BR/><BR/>I agree and disagree. On the one hand, there is still TONS of reconciliation that needs to come about. But I can't deny that there has been considerable progress in the world as well. Much of that progress can be attributed to people like Dr. King. So that's why it bothers me when someone like Rev. Wright has a similar position as a person like Dr. King, they're met with harsh attacks.<BR/><BR/>@ Torrence: Welcome to my spot.

I think examining the intersection of race, religion, and nationalism will expose America's deepest internal contradictions and provoke a critical assessment of our nation's policies that many leaders hoped would never happen.Malik Akbarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11861946517231339877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19105683.post-64733689158734994862008-04-04T12:57:00.000-04:002008-04-04T12:57:00.000-04:00Before I forget, I LOVE the Ralph Wiggum thing off...Before I forget, I LOVE the Ralph Wiggum thing off to the side!

Wright attacked for his comments. I kept thinking to myself he's not the first (nor the last) fiery preacher to say what he's said. Even many white evangelical ministers say similar things without the conservative media so much as batting an eyelash.Kenyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02711031878871162750noreply@blogger.com
