Why do we give a rats ass about Jerimiah Wright? The NYTimes completely gets it wrong in todays lead editorial. We as a society, have designated too much time to this stupid issue. Reverand Wright has said stupid things. And, like most politicians, Barack Obama distanced himself from it. They made the leap that these type of commercials will be used, that “Mr McCain has not tried hard enough to stop a race-bating commercial–complete with video of Mr Wright–that is being run in against Mr Obama in North Carolina.” Well, NO One can help stupid people and I hate this race-bating crap, but more and more people will see it for what it is. More people, will reject this for what it is: racism. We need a healthy conversation about racial issues, but this is not helping, but could make the divide larger.

Former Sen. Edward Brooke ( The first African American to the Senate, From Massachusetts, and a Republican) wrote an enlightening article today in the Washington Post. Senator Brooke is an inspiration to many to say the least, but I think that he really captures what the objectives have been in terms of race relations. As the nation is being divided ( How many times has Jeremiah Wright been on Fox News when most news groups have dropped the issue), on race, it is enlightening to see an article like this. Check it out.
