Obama, Wright, and the Black Community

Obama has taken a jab to jaw that has put a doubt into the minds of the American voters.

I personally am not that concerned with Reverend Wright's comments and not that surprised either. The black community has a long history of reverends/preachers making strong comments; see King, Jackson, and Sharpton. The black community turns to its religious leaders for spiritual and political guidance. The blacks don't have leaders in prominent political positions that they can turn to, so the religious leaders and comedians fill this void.

I feel like Obama is going to have a difficult time with his opposition now being armed with this fodder, but maybe the American voters will look more closely at the black culture and learn something.
