I agree. Despite all of the advances made, economic and political suppression of minorities continues to this day. Saying that "things are better now than they were before" is a far cry from saying that the problems of the issue have been solved.

Not to be argumentive, but as someone who has paid close attention to much of what Sen. Obama actually has said, and will not be duped into buying into the guilt by association nonsense, I would be very interested in seeing any reliable source to the words of Sen. Obama saying the he shares the angry sentiments of Wright. I have, and can again, if needed, source the words of Sen. Obama saying exactly the opposite. I put this not only as a challenge to you, Pogo, but more widely to all of those that are engaging is this not-so-covert smear campaign.

Thanks,
