No Susan, we don't have to work with it, and many of us worked BEYOND the divisive black vs white race paradigm a long time ago.

Most of the US moved beyond those limitations of the Black Power identity movement (including most African American kids of the Gen Y and/or Millenial generation, who you often see describing themselves as 'post-civil rights' or 'post-black nationalist' or 'post-Black Power' kids. Their parents came of age during the civil rights era of the 60s for the most part (they are too young to be children of the 50s civil rights parents).

Which is why I hate what the Obama campaign is doing to American politics. Just like Bush/Cheney dragged us backwards, so too are the race politics of Obama, IMO.

And anyone who tries to claim today that Rev Wright ain't fair game in the election, is nuts. Wright has thrown down the gauntlet this weekend, with or without the Obama campaign's blessing and support.

We'll know if the Obama camp is behind Wright's choice to get in the faces of the MSM and the American electorate soon enough.
