I wouldn't say the remarks were taken out of context at all.

However, I would say that most Americans of any race outside African American culture, that people are clueless about the contexts, both cultural and political, that Wright and Trinity reside in.

Big difference.

There is also some sort of bullshit about how someone had to "dig deep" to find the video, when in reality, it was posted for sale on the internet by the church itself, putting it squarely in the domain of "public information".

While the culture is definintely African American at Trinity, the politics is also black nationalist, and it is likely at least some portion of the church's talented tenth were "save the race" sorts. Why else was Farrakhn man of the year or whatever, in the 2007 year end issue of the church's magazine?

That's the political context of the church community, and it is fair game in this election, the same way any candidate's connections to their church is, especially when the church they choose to belong to is perceived as controversial on politics, while being conservative, or at least conventional in the African American community standard sense, on religion.
