YES WE CAN!
Sorry, I had to. What bothers me most about people like this reverend, is the amount of hypocrisy they are spewing. I can understand that you might be upset about things that (while not affecting you in ANY negative way) happened 200 years ago, how does further segregating your "culture" help to make things better? If you are so mad about how whitey has treated the black community, why are you furthering the seperation between the two cultures? Why do you have a "black church", whose main point is to preach about the evils of the white man and modern society to the black man. this is why MArtin Luther King was a true hero. He didn't point out the differences, and say "we've been oppressed, now is OUR time to shine", he said, "hey, we're not really that different, can't we just all be equal?".
Here's a question. What if the same exact thing was happening on the opposite side? What if Mccain went to a church whose reverend would constantly preach about the downfall of society caused by the black criminals in our ghettos. What if he preached the same racism only in reverse? Then when Mccain came out and said, while he really respects the man, he doesn't agree with him, what would your opinion be?
