Michael, you seem like a guy who is sympathetic to the plight of the oppressed. I've seen you go rather farther over to the defense of the actions of Isreael than a truely dispassionate observer might. And that is certainly understandable. You share a common heritage with them and you've been on the ground dealing with the hate and vitriol that inculcates the historic relationships with Jews and non-jews.
Wright is dealing with a legacy that includes slavery, that includes the deliberate infection of Blacks with syphilis, deals with a modern reality of 1 in 5 young black men in prision. Do you think he shouldn't get angry? Do you think he is wrong to ask his people to rise up and strike down the powers that oppress them? Martin Luther King Jr and Rev. Wright have seen the same things. I think King had it right in the way he dealt with things. He also got killed for it. I do believe that Wright is not fundamentally violent. But I do think he is caught in an older time and that he has largely been passed by in the changes of our society. I think that Obama has seen that too. Wright still has some relevance and points to make, but I think his mind frame is in an older time. But his efforts have helped create the situation today that has made him increasingly irrelevant. And that is progress. Judah On Sun, Oct 26, 2008 at 9:39 PM, Michael Dinowitz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > So bottom line is that no one is anti-American in your eyes.
