What I see here is a generation gap within the black community, the old time folks who experienced the 50s and 60s know where the Rev Wright is coming from, but the younger generation is taking part in some the changes that evolved out of the Martin King Jr days of old. The African Americans have a lot more respect nowadays with leading roles in movies, sports, business, politcs, and on CNN news. Obama belongs to the new generation where as Wright belongs to the "old school".
Umm, this is just not true. The gap simply lies between black people and one whitewashed black dude who has to watch what he says/believes because he's running for president.

If you don't think much of the black youth today agrees with Wright you're likely mistaken. You could find his views mirrored in a bout a million rap songs.


Look out kid, they keep it all hid.
