The Audacity of Racism

I hope that Jeremiah Wright doesn’t mind that I borrowed from his sermon title, but it seemed very fitting. Oh, you don’t know who Jeremiah Wright is? He, until very recently retiring, was Barak Obama’s pastor of over 20 years. He married the Obabma’s, baptized their children and spiritually fed them for two decades. Despite retiring from the pulpit in January, Wright continues to be a driving force in Obama’s life as his campaigns spiritual adviser. The continued association with and dependence on Jeremiah Wright is what is so disturbing about Obama’s backpedaling in the last 24 hours concerning some of Wright’s more controversial sermons.
