As for Obama, he has done the politically expedient thing to do with his condemnation of Wright...he has been forced to, I'd say, by circumstances around him. I wonder how he really feels about it? That would be interesting to know.

I think it may be almost impossible for a Black candidate to be elected president in the USA. There's too much of a divide. I doubt that a Black candidate could be elected prime minister in Canada too. I seriously doubt it. Why? Well, it would just be too "unusual", that's why, and people would shy away from it and vote for a White man like they normally do. They expect a White guy in a suit, and that's who they'll vote in. Depend on it.

As you say, Fantasma, now there's blood on everyone's hands. Yup. There was no way of avoiding it.

I'd also be curious to know what Wright's motivations are, and what he is hoping to achieve. He didn't have to take the confrontational route he has taken, and why would he? After all, I would think he originally wanted Obama to be elected, wouldn't you?

Any thoughts on that, Fantasma?
