There are countless people, in the political and media eye, who have constant visions of the problems in the United States. There are a lot of things in America's economic, foreign, and the overall state of the union policy. Jeremiah Wright, at the Detroit NAACP meeting, had many great quotes at the biggest meeting of the year, for the Afro-American community. Starting out, as a speech on the "black community," Wright turned the thirty minute speech, into an "Afro-American Church Service." The Wright speech and/or service was not out of line, in the way it was presented, the way Wright boomed away, and even when he broke into dance. Wright's comments though, were not only unprecedented and not factual, they were completely out of line. Wright's whole speech was under the guise of, "America is a country who sees different, as being deficient." He also went on saying, "I am not divisive, I am descriptive. I am not running for President of the United States, I am running for Jesus."
The "sermon on the mount of the NAACP" was tame of Wright quotes. By comparison, to the other things, he has been quoted in the media, "America injected the AIDS virus, into the minority [black] community" and comparing "the United States to Al-Queada." However, the main flaw with the speech, was the ten minute rant, on the Afro-American community and unity. There was two major flaws in the overall part of the speech. The first part, Wright said the Afro-American and African people are completely different, from White Americans and others, from the womb. Wright used music, as an example of this, comparing the Michigan and Michigan State marching band (playing the school fight song, at football games), to the Grambling State marching band. Also saying, that blacks think and learn on different beats, genetically imprinted on their brains, from birth. The other major flaw in his speech, was the fact he did not mention Caucasian and other nations of people integrating (in any way) with the Afro-American community.
Barack Obama was also on the television, having his interview with Chris Wallace (after 722 days, of the promise to come on his show). Obama was all over the map, in the interview, blaming the media for being positive on his wins, but slamming him after Pennsylvania. Really, the overlying theme of the whole Obama interview, was summed up in the statements he made referring to wins in Wisconsin, Iowa, and previous other states when the democratic field was markedly wider and the press was giving him a direct pass. Ironically, this fits into the fact Obama was not properly vetted, early on, in the democratic election process, Michigan and Florida did not have primaries, and the fact that Obama and Wright are close. They are close in the sense of Wright being his pastor, his spiritual mentor and also the fact Obama and Wright used each other to climb their respective ladders. This is the major reason why the American people (especially the democrats voting for Hillary), have a vested interest in how far Obama espouses Wright's views, insight into the segregation versus integration (which happened to be Michelle Obama's thesis, at Princeton, when she was twenty-two years old), and the overall feeling Obama has with the mixing of races and where Afro-American people are to be, in Wright's view, in American society?
The Bottom Line: The fatal flaw for Barack Obama is he stayed in a church, who's reverend preached against Caucasian and Afro-American integration, who made complete anti-American statements (the government put AIDS into the Afro-American and minority communities, as a form of genocide), and people do not know exactly where he will stand on these kinds of issues. Reverend Jeremiah Wright has one fatal flaw in his speech, at the NAACP meeting (at Obama's expense). If Afro-American people have different learning patterns, ways to learn music and even different ways to practice their religion, "from out of the womb," where does that leave Barack Obama, who is both Caucasian and Afro-American (biracial)? Did Obama and all biracial people have a struggle from birth in learning, music, relationships, and all other parts of their lives? Is Obama bound by DNA, to become, either white, or black, by choice? A bigger question is Barack Obama, is just as Caucasian, as Afro-American, why is the African community voting for him, at a 90% rate (that is the question people should be asking, as well as, why can't he win Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, and California)
Wright's overall thesis, or premise, last night was a joke. People are all created equal, all created with the same blood in their veins, and though they may have a darker skin, lighter skin, or somewhere in between, it makes no difference what their skin color is, out of the womb. What matters is the values, ethics, morality, and overall choices they make, as adults. Changes occur and things are learned, thru environment, choice, parental and overall people's interactions, with other people. There are genetic traits, that are handed down, of course. However, to make huge blanket statements, like Wright did, is beyond absurd.
