  •  I wouldn't damn America (0+ / 0-)

    Her President, her government, sure.
    Her people, never.

    •  "Her people"... (0+ / 0-)

      ...voted for bush twice, backed this fucking war in Iraq, and goes to the mall rather than give a moments thought to the crap bushie and the republican crime syndicate have been doing for seven years.  This is a democracy, bub, imperfect thought it may be, and we've got to take responsibility for what our government does.

      •  Well bub (0+ / 0-)

        Her people voted for Bush only once and I've never said all the people are perfect. But I wouldn't damn all the good people just to condemn the bad.

        •  Yeah, you're right about... (0+ / 0-)

          ...electing bushie only once.  My bad.  

          But this guy Wright is old enough to remember Selma, and the fire hoses, and the dogs, and the lynchings.  I'd be bitter, too, if I were him.  MLK said the same things, he really did, but it was MLK's strength and his greatness that he wouldn't succumb to bitterness.  I'm not as good a man as MLK, and I guess Wright isn't either.  But I can't fault any man for being bitter about what was done to Wright and his people.
