As a supporter, this visual is genius. I just wonder what non-supporters think about it.

Jake - I totally agree. I mentioned to Brad that the his handlers planned the set so that people would think, "I could see him as president". Anyone who didn't know better would assume he was the president giving a speech. The delivery was boring as hell. I suspect that it was his goal, to wear us out, to finally agree, "Fine, I give up..."

I believe that his speech was devisive and obviously shows his belief that all his minister said is true in his heart. He believes it also. It goes along the lines of what techers in Lodi Unified School district are being told they must do and must teach. That is white americas fault that blacks were slaves and we have to constatnly be apologetic about it. That we feel guilty every time we smile at a black person. BUll crap!!! They have been told that instead of teaching about great men like Abe Lincoln they will only teach about black leaders in history. All this is doing is turning the tables. It has been many generations since slavery. Slaves were black, Native Americans etc. There were even white slaves. It was totally wrong what happened in the past concerning slavery, however it was not a decision made by all the following generations. The blacks in this generation are not slaves either. I do not believe we should be held responsible for the sins of earlier generations. We have our own sins today.

Moohcar, I know what you're saying, but I dont think these people, Wright and his congregation, are doing that. I just watched a much longer segment of one of the Wright sermons the cable news networks have been excerpting, and when he talks about what the U.S. does, it's "we" not "they," which is proper. In the U.S. (as Lincon explained) we are a government of, for and by the people. We all take responsibility. Now, when you make a mistake do you try to sweep it under the carpet, or do you acknowledge it, learn from it, ask for forgiveness? Of course. Pretty sure that's what Rev Wright was saying, and if so, what's the problem? Watch some of the videos yourself. Let's figure this out for ourselves.
