Republicans will use Wright the same way they used Willie Horton against Dukakis.
Wright has not just done damage to Obama. He has done damage to the black community.
- 5/3 Wrap: There’s really nothing more amusing than an old, white, conservative explaining how black people think and feel. From MacDougal:
“But I also recall a conversation I had during a visit to the maximum-security prison in Joliet, Ill. As I sat in the library there, talking with three men about why they were incarcerated, one man said: “Look around this room — almost everybody here is black. This is white man’s genocide. You put us in here to keep us down.” Where would this 20-something black man, or other relatively uneducated young people, get such an idea? From the vitriol spewed by the Rev. Wrights of this world.”
I have an alternate thesis: Those men told this to MacDougal because they’re in PRISON. I doubt they were brainwashed into thinking society unfair.
