As a historian I find that the only way to understand the present is by studying the past, and as far as things like slavery and Jim Crow being over and done with, I wonder if you feel the same way about things like Jesus' crucifixion and 9-11?

I won't begin to endorse the often misguided ramblings of Falwell or Robertson, but Wright's comments were far more incendiary and hate-filled than anything those two have offered. And in case you folks missed it, no one has done more to distance themselves from Wright than Obama himself...for political gain, if not Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900836.post-86548716017699171462008-03-19T09:03:00.000-05:002008-03-19T09:03:00.000-05:00I heard a teaser on NPR this morning concerning Wr...I heard a teaser on NPR this morning concerning Wright's comments and their controversy.

When told that the government couldn't possibly have done such a thing, disbelief is a sensible reaction. Being white, I'm not quite so quick to point my finger at government conspiracies. Why? Because so many of them work in my favor. They don't even seem like conspiracies.

Sadly I don't really count because a) I've had the Obama widget on my blog for months (ie- am not one of the 'undecided' voters); and b) I live in Indiana which is decidedly red in every election.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09375036105002118035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5900836.post-63215261624795802272008-03-18T13:41:00.000-05:002008-03-18T13:41:00.000-05:00Wasn't that a wonderful speech?
