| I'm not entirely sure that the gap is as wide as we would like to think. I think it takes more than a few decades and a half-generation to heal the Black Community, especially with bi-annual agitationsand reminders that overt racism is alive and kicking (Rodney King, the groom shooting aquittal, Jena, etc.)
That and the powerful presence of the elders whose experiences with MLK and the civil rights movement are first-hand.
As far as the actual relative worth of Rev. Wright when choosing the next president, you're right. It's tabloid. Slapstick. CNN's chance to take another step closer to an aspiring TMZ. |
