Subject: RE: BS: Obama's Defining Moment Speech
Perhaps I haven't been listening hard enough or to the right things, but there doesn't seem to be much if anything in Rev Wright's preaching that sounds like racism. At any rate none of the picked up in those articles bruce cut and pasted would qualify.

Some of the charges laid against the US government might be mistake or over the top, but what's racist about that? If a white preacher said that America was at fault in those ways, and did not deserve to be "blessed", would that be racist? And yet "racist" is the term being used, presumably because it is seen as the most damaging.
