Is Wright Right?
Advertisements [?]
After reviewing some of his words in context, I'm asking this question because so many of the man's same sentiments have been reflected by honored and long time DUers. I don't know for sure that I can say that he is wrong on any point of substance, even if I might disagree with his overall philosophy.

Now obviously the man is over the top, his rhetoric is angry.

My questions follow, and I hope DUers can reasonably, if not dispassionately deal with them;

"Does Jeremiah Wright have cause to speak with such anger?

"Is there any point of substance that he is dead wrong on?"

"When he said "God Damn America", was it because of her people or because of her actions?"



I know that I may very well have missed something particularly odious and indefensible said by the man, but I haven't seen any of the Farrakahn-style racist hatred coming out of him that the media seems to purport.

Let's see some clinical academia, this isn't flame-bait.
