Let's make it clear - I am from Chicago. Obama is a good man. His church? Something different altogether. I NEVER visit churches whose ministers/reverends jump around and yell at one to make a point. It's sooooo cliche. It's a typical Black church setting. I think (and this is merely my opinion), the more extravagant the messenger is, the greater the deception. You really don't have to yell at me to make your point. And you really shouldn't undertake social issues, as if your role is strictly dual.
Rev. Wright is a disgruntled left-over from slavery, Jim Crow and the civil rights. There is untapped anger there. Do I blame him? Nope. Do I think he should impose those issues on his congregation? Nope. But folks, that's just how Black churches are. Ministers/Reverends use that particular forum as a journey into their lives.
Is it wrong to say Hurricane Katrina happened because of the sin in New Orleans? Nope. That was just a view - a white minister's view. Did he leave HIS church? Nope.
