I like the take of "white media" and how biased media is. Very true! I think media is critical but were not all on the same playing field. LOL @ "black people get uppidy" and "Obama has a suit". I likes the chyrons.

The "white media" line is ridiculous. The media is much more liberal biased than it is white biased, as far as it's opinions go. I'm not saying black people don't have a right to be "bitter", but some of the things Rev. Wright said are just absurd and hateful, and you can't use this BS out of context argument, unless after words he said "just kidding.". I'm not saying that white preachers haven't said inflammatory things, but just because Wright is black doesn't mean he should get a free pass to say whatever he wants without criticism. You also have to wonder if after going to this church, and being spiritually counseled by Wright for 20 years, how much of this Obama agrees with.

What you and clowns like you are missing is, how the fvck do you know whether what Wright is taped saying is "absurd" and "hateful"? Do YOU know all the answers, have you researched, or are you simply regurgitating the garbage you hear from corporate pundits, shills profiting from this hegemonic, imperialist "war"? Are you really that stupid to suggest that someone as bright as Obama, or anyone else, for that matter, can't think for themselves and/or may have his own take on things? Baaa, sheep, baaa. Follow those pundits...right off a cliff, pal.

Billary, I'm unclear as to who you're addressing in your comment. I don't think either of the subjects is trying to say that Obama can't think for himself.
