Religious Resignation

[Jester]

Aye. Wright is a loud mouthed Wracist, sorta like David Duke. Joy.

David Duke believes that Whites are inherently superior to Blacks, that the nation should be segregated along racial lines, that Judaism is a mental illness, and that Black people are no better than animals.

Rev. Wright argues that racism is abhorrent, that no race is superior to another, that historical racial divisions should be ended, and that God loves all people.

He's a loudmouth. He's dead wrong about a whole range of subjects, and is even willing to flirt with strange and outdated racial theories about "different ways of thinking". But he's not David Duke, he's not the black equivalent of the Nazis, and I find it incomprehensible that otherwise reasonable people are making these comparisons. The worst that can be said of him is that he turns a blind eye to the dark side of Louis Farrakhan, which, while more than enough to sour me on him, does not turn him into the Grand Wizard of a black KKK.

It's for the best that Obama has left the church, as most of America seems to think the same way as we have seen on this board, that a radical black church is basically just the mirror image of the Nazis, or of the KKK, or whatever. That's an anchor no politician can afford not to cut. But I think there is a serious perspective problem, both in the US generally, and on this board specifically.
