I believe Tim Wise has a great point. There is no reason why Obama should be held accountable for Jeremiah’s actions. Everything that came out of Wright’s mouth was his beliefs and opinions. Even thought this is true many of African Americans agree with Obama’s former pastor including Bill Cosby. Wise stated the same Bill Cosby that white America loves. The difference between these men is that Wright said what he had to say bluntly while Bill’s statement was the American way to say it. I guess they feel as Wright stepped out of line by stating the truth.
It does not make any sense that Wright’s words are such a big controversy. The real problem is not what he said; it is the fact that it has been said. White America does not want to stand up and accept the truth including the destruction that they took part in. They aren’t able to look back on history and see hat they were in the wrong. Instead they feel it’s best to hide it and act as if it never happened. That truly that sickens me.
How can you expect for a man to sit there and not say how he feels? He sees his people stuffer because of America. The same America that is supposed to be the big brother of other nations. It’s about time that someone spoke out about the problems that we are facing. I believe it was just too much for White America to swallow.
