White women in trouble get the press. The black women who are missing get nary a word, not a nod, nothing. No press to help find them or what happened. Would you be angry and slighting if your daughter went missing and everybody ignored your pleas? Please don't equate white experience with black, the comparisons are like apples and horses, conclusions cannot be drawn. It comes off as racist.

Are you calling me "racist" for complaining about Reverend Wright mocking a dead white girl?
That's so off-base I'm not even going to get offended.
This sort of rhetoric will turn off the vast majority of white voters in the fall. The best thing that can happen for Obama is for America to forget about Reverend Wright, not for diaries to keep being post here celebrating Reverend Wright.

to look into every young white girls disappearance and ignore every black girl's? Why do you think this is the way it should be? If you think that the screaming about it is off base then I might say you are racist. Why wouldn't you be?

Wright's grievances are legit, his expression (there) most decidedly not.

Are you saying that whites would not express themselves this way if the tables were turned? I am astounded that people look at this situation and excoriate a black person for being angry and expressing it. If he had been more polite where would that get him? Where have they gotten so far in this instance? Absolutly nowhere.
