| He's hurting Obama by going high-profile right now. I think he's doing it on purpose because he didn't like Obama distancing himself from him. He's teaching Obama a lesson right now about standing with your allies or paying for it.
And Wright will be fine after all this, but Obama might be screwed. Wright's admiration for Farrakhan, for example, shows that to American blacks, black solidarity is even more important than their Christian religion. That black solidarity is more important than the differences between Christians and Muslims.
Except that Farrakhan, if he had the power, would probably one day offer Wright the choice between conversion to Islam or beheading. Wright probably would tolerate Farrakhan remaining Musilm though, because christians gave up killing unwilling converts a few centuries back. |
