It seems that race relations are worse than I thought and the Obama-Wright circus has made this all too clear to whites, and who knows what conclusions Asians, Hispanics, et al are drawing. Obama, whatever his motivations are, has increased the divisions in America.

I would instead suggest that it’s hightime we as a society get beyond Mitchell’s kind of unscientific, sub-rational, bigoted/stereotyping - and even dehumanizing - method of dictating how any individual person must think based upon some virtually happenstance physical trait.

And it’s time we get beyond the essentially anecdotal/unscientific kind of “proof” Mitchell inherently implies in support of her bigoted dictate - seemingly arguing only that some other people with that trait might also say something equal in bigotry to what Mitchell says - such as the Rev. Wright does.

I, for one, am not going to stereotype “Blacks” as bigots simply because Mitchell and Wright are black.

In rational, scientific thinking the existence of bigotry, or subrational thinking in general, cannot be presumed a priori to be present, much less deterministically dictated by any particular person’s physical characteristics.

Nor can any individual person’s alleged “experience” be dictated or stereotyped - or claimed to have somehow been the main “determinant” - of how or what they think. Otherwise, we would all only be billiard balls.

So, as far as I can tell, essentially all Mitchell is doing in her demonstrably subrational way [since she offered no significant proof] is making a narcissistic proclamation - which is really only about herself and what she says and believes - and which sounds exactly like what some, say, white people say about “blacks”, and even about “whites” - when, likewise, such people are actually only talking about themselves - or at best about their group, the actual size of which has not yet been determined, in spite of the fact that Mitchell and people like her have tried to dictate that it must be large.

For those interested in the “Other Side” so to speak, you all might be curious enough to go there.

All the work has been done for you. No debate need take place because it has already more or less resolved itself and all you have to do is to read to find out why people support Wright.

I did find a post from one person in the comments section reassuring:

“raw280 wrote:
“At a time when African Americans are on the cusp of watching a barrier come crashing down, up jumps a divisive issue that is being driven by those outside of the black community.”

These are only a few examples that have nothing to do with whites or any other race. I’m a fellow Dunbar graduate and I grew up on the south side. In all that time most if not all of my pain came from within. Stop making young people believe that their happiness is controlled by outside forces. i.e. Whites, Satan, Boogyman. Our young people need to know that they are responsible for their future. No one else and definitely not “outside forces.” Stop crippling the very people I believe you love. We are not victims.”

I was listening to Juan Williams talk about this and I did not get the impression that he thinks of Wright as some kind of role model.

His patrilineage is decidedly beside the point to his career, his policies and his vision for the country.

True, his skin is brown and hair nappy. So race, in America, is inescapable. But as the election grinds on, I’m betting that the more we know about Wright and the more we know about Obama, the clearer it becomes how different their careers, visions, persona and motives really are.

To be sure, the conservative side of the mainstream media will keep trying to blur the identify of Wright with the identity of Obama, but most Americans will easily see that the contrasts far exceed the similarities.

Finally, ask them since Reverend Wright defends Farrakhan on the specious claim that Farrakhan, as well as nobody else in the world, DIDN’T dragged Reverend Wright here in chains, because Reverend Wright was born here a free man and slaves stopped being imported in 1807. So since he was never broguht here in chains and everyone in the USA is innocent, does that mean he stands by Ted Bundy or David Duke too?

It’s time we started calling blacks on their BS, like “Church’s Chicken make you sterile” garbage and stop calling them conspiracy theories and start calling them racist lies.

All I could see was someone of such low intellect and morals trying to sound profound but sounding like a total scumbag with every sentence he spoke.

But there’s no need to segregate your anti-BS crusade, is there?

Plenty of myths, urban legends and superstitions floating around to be debunked.

Have at it!

Or, in dialogue:

Jeremiah Wright: “The government created AIDS to kill black people!”

White Liberal: “That’s an interesting idea and I’m sure you are rightfully concerned about institutional racism.”

John Birch Society Member: “AIDS is Communist biological warfare!”

White Liberal: “Typical conservative lunacy.”

White “Progressive”: And they’re using the Patriot Act to spy on Americans.
