<br><br>I'm with you: Obama shouldn't (have to) change church, he should (be able to) simply stand by his decision and by what Wright did indeed say.... if he considers it correct!<br>But I don't hear him do that. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

<br><br>... what you mean to say. There must be more than just pointing out that the USA has a long racists history. <br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

That first photo still makes me as sick as the day it happened. Quaint and tidy Boston showing the ugly underside during the bussing strife that wracked Boston, mostly South Boston, during that time. That black man in the three piece suit was I believe a lawyer walking out of Boston City Hall. He walked right into a bussing demonstration and that kid from Southie made himself famous by beating him over the head with the American flag.<br><br>Sad times. I can say only God damn all those individuals who perpetrated it. God damn the politicians that fed on that racist frenzy. One I remember clearly was the loathsome Louise Day Hicks. She came very close to becoming Boston's mayor in 1967. Many still consider her a hero. Not that long ago and lots of things have not changed. The vilifying of the Reverend Wright comes to mind.<br><br><br><br><br>

That's right Al, to liberals like you our country hasn't progressed from 232 years ago. Our country hasn't progressed from 125 years. Our country hasn't progressed from 45 years ago. Our country hasn't progressed in the last 20 years.<br><br>***********************<br>I got nothin'

I think the problem Matt is that the country HAS tried to progress, to go beyond the past ..........<br><br><br>but some individuals haven't ....<br><br>their mindset is still in the 1700-1800's America ...<br><br>and they won't change til they die. <br><br>David (OFI)
