I know that the facts won't even slow you guys down, but if he's racist why would a white member of Wright's congregation write this: "During the last two weeks, excerpts from sermons of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., pastor for more than 35 years at Trinity United Church of Christon Chicagoâs South Side, have flooded the airwaves and dominated our discourse about the presidential campaign and race. Wright has been depicted as a racial extremist, or just a plain racist. A number of political figures and news commentators have attempted to use Sen. Barack Obamaâs association with him tocall into question Obamaâs judgment and the sincerity of his commitment to unity." "I have been a member of Trinity, a church with an almost entirely African-American congregation, for more than 25 years. I am, however, a white male. From a decidedly different perspective than most Trinitarians, I have heard Wright preach about racial inequality many times, in unvarnished and passionate terms." "In Obamaâs recent speech in Philadelphia on racial issues confronting our nation, the senator eloquently observed that Rev. Wrightâs sermons reflect the difficult experiences and frustrations of a generation. It is important that we understand the dynamic Obama spoke about." It also is important that we not let media coverage and political gamesmanship isolate selected remarks by Wright to the exclusion of anythingelse that might define him more accurately and completely. I find it very troubling that we have distilled Wrightâs 35-year ministry to a few phrases; no context whatsoever has been offered or explored." http://archives.chicagotribune.com/2008/mar/26/news/chi-oped0326trinitymar26
