Sansui, perhaps I am a bit quick to judgment. So if you can provide the context for Mr. Wright's racist statements I could understand them better. I am asking you since you seem to know the context and are willing to bet money on it. I however am not so quick to bet anything. |
I would be delighted to, if you're willing to take the time to watch some videos and read some links. I would like to give you some additional links as well. I will have time to gather those resources for your viewing pleasure tomorrow, but if you'd like to get started you should be able to find the full 9/11 sermon on youtube (this is not the one where he says "Goddamn America", it's the one where he's quoting a us ambassador "the chickens have come home to roost")
One thing to keep in mind - 1.) Regardless of context, some of Wright's remarks are not excusable, they are at best "understandable", when you put yourself in someone else's shoes. Simply rejecting something is not the road to understanding, so it does take an open mind to try and accept cultural, social, and political values that are not necessarily your own.
I'll throw in some links on policy and overall comparison on candidates too when I get the other stuff together for you.
