And now I am really going to bed.

NO, I judge Rev Wright, Sharpton and Farrakhan on their body of work and their actions.
Wright went to Libya with Farrakhan, Wright and Sharpton preach hatred (his church SELLS the damned videos so obviously he believed heavily in the message he was sending out), the judge abused his power to do something IMHO prejudicial and wrong, so yes he should lose his job and at the very least be investigated to see how his past rulings have been. Did he have harsher sentences for blacks that came before him, lighter sentences..... One has to wonder after this blatant episode of abuse and prejudice.
All this talk of how important the black churches and church leaders are is interesting, when one considers that 70% of the inner city black children grow up without a father, drug abuse, crime, poverty snd so on run rampant in the areas affected by these so called civil rights leading Rev.
I refuse to believe it is the white man, because I have seen and know many black men that refused to buy into that bullshit and become successes.
Again, IMHO the reason why those Rev. teach and preach what they do is for POWER and greed. They lose their power and purpose when their followers stop following and turn to more positive messengers. As long as they allow the crime, the unwed pregnancies, the drugs, the school dropout rates to stagnant or increase and they can sell the people that it is someone else's fault not theirs..... they will always have followers and keep hatred and prejudice alive. And if you can't see that, if you keep allowing it to grow and the hate to evolve.... one day it will explode and then you'll wonder why no one tried to do anything sooner..... or you'll continue to make excuses.
