I don't get it!!!!  Finally we have a black man that has the potential to fill the highest office in the world and we have another black man that stood beside the greatest preacher and civil rights worker in history and he has negative remarks overheard.  What else goes on behind closed doors?  Then you have Rev. Wright that puts a stumbling block before Obama and well like i said i don't get it.  I would think that Obama would have a stronger support base from strong black leaders. Wasn't this one of the objectives of the civil rights movement,a chance to get above poverty and discrimination?  Correct me if i am wrong.

In response to assignment: Is Jesse Jackson relevant?
