Lots of people have said bad things about "America" and the way "America" behaves in the world. Listen to public radio, any day of the week. Part of it, at least part of the reason someone like Wright might say "God damn America" is that "sometimes" because of the people who are in power "America" has done things its people (white, black, yellow, red and brown) should not be particularly proud of.
Talking about "white people" is only seen as racist because "white people" aren't used to be talking about. Black, red, brown and yellow people get talked about all the time. I.e., how they act, the conditions they live under, their ability to learn; shucks, there are still debates (among white people) about whether others are "equal" or not. Of course, if others ask that question, they're racists.
Anyway, the thread contained things that an Obama non-supporter has said about him and the Trinity Church. Why not be specific and refute what he (or Wright said). I don't mean get "bitter" or indignant; I mean refute (prove wrong) or at least challenge it. Just calling someone a racist is just whining, as if he hurt your feelings.
He hurt a lot of peoples feelings with that clip Steve. If that clip doesn't bother you then I am worried about you.
