What Will Wright Do Next?

The Religious leaders of the black community MUST step forward and actively reduce Wright to the status of a tired, egoistical old has-been radical that is out of date and out of touch with the main stream Black Americans.

Clinton has wisely stayed out of the frey lately and McCain is keeping his cool about it. The only people that really seem to be preoccupied with it are the Media and the Hate Mongers. And you know that NOBODY really cares what they think. Obama will survive this mess by keeping calm and appealing to the common sense of the voters. Those who don't want Obama to win (for whatever reasons) won't change their minds, those how love him will stand by him. The rest of us will wait and see and decide when we go to the poles in November. I still admire Obama, but I also like Clinton and McClain. But actually, none where my first choice for president and all are better than the one we have now.

Paul,

When you say: "The Religious leaders of the black community MUST step forward and actively reduce Wright to the status of a tired, egoistical old has-been radical that is out of date and out of touch with the main stream Black Americans."

That seems to me to be an open question. It seems like very few (any?) black church leaders have denounced Wright precisely because he's NOT considered a self-absorbed radical throwback. There's a fair and unaswered question about whether Wright is representative of the black church or out of step with it.

I don't care what Wright thinks, and if the media were interested in presenting news that matters and not just looking for a sensational squabble, they wouldn't bother with him. I care what Obama and the others will do about the very serious problems we are facing in this country. When Obama (and either of the other candidates) claim that the public does want to hear about the issues, they speak for me.
