Taken completely into context, and not using some inflammatory sound bite from Faux News, and having a little insight into the black community and experience, no, I don't see anything wrong with the comments. I didn't find them to be racially charged in the first place. Only when taken out of context did they become racially charged. In context they were extremely critical of American society and American foreign policy. Yeah, they were harsh, but so is pretty well everything that comes from the Christian/Baptist preacher's pulpit on Sundays. That's the nature of their service. Its mind blowing the first time you see it, and seems like the wrong way to profess one's faith, but that's the way they do it.
This whole thing has been a real joke to be honest with you. What was said was in the confines of the church and done during a surmon. It's not like Wright called a press conference and called for the assassination of a foreign leader. No, that falls to white religious wingnuts.
