And this helps explain, perhaps, my relationship with Reverend Wright. As imperfect as he may be, he has been like family to me. He strengthened my faith, officiated my wedding, and baptized my children. Not once in my conversations with him have I heard him talk about any ethnic group in derogatory terms, or treat whites with whom he interacted with anything but courtesy and respect. He contains within him the contradictions - the good and the bad - of the community that he has served diligently for so many years.

I can no more disown him than I can disown the black community. I can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother - a woman who helped raise me, a woman who sacrificed again and again for me, a woman who loves me as much as she loves anything in this world, but a woman who once confessed her fear of black men who passed by her on the street, and who on more than one occasion has uttered racial or ethnic stereotypes that made me cringe.

Obama's speech.

Is that what you call dumping somebody under a bus?

You must not have read or heard the speech, if you can ask that.

Stop dodging Ari...

Was there anything in that speech that you did not know??? Was there something you learned????

It was just another slick political speech of expediency and you took it hook line and sinker. Admit it.

Now you are so enthralled you will become a Obama cheerleader? Damn.

When you read the speech, do take note of how he begins and ends the speech with references to the Constitution. When is the last time you heard a candidate for the presidency do that?

(I must confess that on this you are right: I was already aware of Obama's respect for the Constitution. I have heard him say in previous speeches that he wants the President to abide by the Constitution.)
