No, I don't think Obama is "OK" with someone teaching hate. He has had a hard time because he is both black and white so to say he supports peole "hating whites" is laughable at best. BTW~~~ A lot of
LOL - does the Crusades ring a bell? Christianity is right up there with atrocities committed in the name of religion. Lets be careful of which stones we throw lest we break our own windows!
If John McCain or Hillary Clinton had a "mentor" for 20 years who came out babbling racist crap similar to Rev. Wright, everyone on this board, myself included would be not only demanding that they distance themselves from that person, but that they also resign immediately for even thinking about dealing with someone like that. As annoyed as people are, Obama is still getting a pass.
He's know Wright for 20 years and only now, because his bombastic "sermons" are being heard by white voters too, Obama decides Wright is not the man he thought he knew lol?
I would urge everyone to focus on the issues and how their preferred candidate would vote/run the country. Don't vote against your own family's financial, educational, ethical, environmental well being!
I personally believe if we looked at ANYONE hard enough, coupled with our own biases, etc, you can find whatever argument suits you.
Focus on the issues.
(I feel like I have to say this, I am a Christian and a registered republican who just simply cannot vote for another 4 years of this repulican trend I have seen.)
Yes, I do know about it. But I don't believe for ONE second that Obama supports ANY KIND of prejudice or hate speech. I don't believe that Obama should be held personally accountable for the view points and actions of each and every person with whom he has come into contact. He may have admired and looked up to certain aspects of this preacher. But that doesn't mean he has to appreciate or endorse ALL aspects of that person.
I love my parents dearly. But the reality is that the time they have spent working in inner city schools have made them more racist than they even realize. Do I share their beliefs? No. Are they my parents? yes, do I respect and admire most of their accomplishments and their work ethics? Yes.

also, Oprah Winfrey and many other prominant black chicago VIPS belonged to that church. Have you accused OOprah of racism? written to her? Why don't you judge her? Because her words and actions clearly demonstrate that SHE does not hold those views.

I know quite a bit about Liberation Theology, the United Church of Christ, and what Rev Wright preached at church.
