Here are comments from someone who learned nothing this week. The loons are out today. Don't defend just attack.

"Wright said today the attacks on him are really an assault on the
Black Church in America. Consequently, does that mean we can define the
beliefs of the American Black Church by his statements. In such a case
we would be forced to define the American Black Church as racist."
InchDeep,
not quite certain of your intent, was the question and conclusion an
attempt at being provocative or an example of poor & inconsistent
reasoning? Your question presumes that an individual pastor is believed
to be the authority of "all things Black Church", and your poorly
constructed follow-up question is merely the child of its awkward
parent.
If you accept the premise that a single pastor may
define Christianity and The Church for all Black folk than you are well
on your way to concluding anything. Your approach is symbolic of the
intentionally lazy reasoning of modern Man, "Why attempt to apply clear
and consistent definition and value to my beliefs when I can just speak
for the pleasure of speaking?"
No man, Black or White, should be
called to account for the poor behavior of another. If this were a
legitimate claim, then your former English, Literature and History
instructors would have too much to account for.
And more drivel.

Without insult, I do believe that your intent was clearly aligned with
your effort. All efforts to dissect, what could only be described as
the unfortunate collision between urban culture colloquialism and
grammar 101, delivered the same conclusion, which you explicitly
stated.... That others must account for Rev Wright's words.
If
that wasn't your intent than there should not have been any mention of
others to challenge Rev Wright.... Not a difficult point for most to
grasp.
"The child of its awkward parent" is a direct reference
to your Initial Point and the poorly articulated subsequent point...
i.e. Weak Premise. Weaker subsequent premise.
Further... as
opposed to lashing out against those who recognize an apparent
"Socially Promoted" General Studies major, you might consider being
well read, then one day, well written....
