    Go ahead, I hope you do. Just don't pick one where the preacher rails on other races during his sermon.

    Black fraterienties absolutely foster divisiveness and should be disbanded.

    Spitzer also did a lot of good things. But he is goner now. He paid the price. I think most people would still think he is overall a good person.

    Similarly, Wright said some hateful things. He needs to pay for this. At least thru an apology. But he didn't, so people will keep bringing up the issue.

    That's just how the world works. It seems fair to me.[/QUOTE]And just like Spitzer Wright is gone. Wright has retired from the church, and been removed from Obama's campaign. Obama didn't ignore the controversy he met it head on, and dealt with it.

    The American stubbornness to forgive shines yet again. No short supply of demons to exorcize.

    You racists do go on.

    Thanks for apologizing. I was concerned that 20 years from now when I run for President that I would have to explain my association with you (and why I did single handedly kick your racist butt off of this board).

    Now I can tell the press: "He kept saying racist crap but then apologizing, What's a guy going to do. I figure if Jesus could forgive so could I."

    Yes. A "church" accusing whitey of using HIV to destroy black people is beyond unreasonable.

    Wright also claimed the government was involved in selling drugs to black people.

    What is with this guy's persecution complex??
