He's saying that Wright has said the government put AIDS in the black community and yes, it is in one of those sermons he gave. Rev. Wright flatly states the government created AIDS to kill the black man in this country.

So, there's that. But to deal with it at the level of whether they have the right or not misses the point completely. The point is, by understanding WHY Wright and others like him say what they say, there's an opportunity to heal the fundamental divide of our country.
I'm beginning to think, pan, that you're not interested in that. Which is okay, you don't have to be interested in that. But I'm REAL interested in that.
I also get the impression Hillary isn't interested, and I get the impression Obama is.

I'm very interested in making all people live in peace and that all prejudices can end.
BUT Wright is not the way. I'm sorry. I do not believe you can fight prejudice and hatred by adding to it.
The only way to fight is to supply positive messages and work toward positive answers together. Not just blame one side.
It's a fundamental and moral difference.
If Obama was seriously interested and wanted to solve things in a positive way, then why was he going to a church that gave out racist messages for 20 years? Why didn't he stand up against that?
Sorry, give me Rev. like George Foreman, who preach positively and work positively for positive changes..... and I can make a better country.
Give me Wright, Sharpton, Robertson, Falwell and I'll show you how to ruin a country and make divisions even deeper.
Obama follows Wright..... ummmmmm yeah.
