Wright said that the US government created the AIDS virus. I think it's safe to assume that Wright isn't suggesting any black people were involved in the production or distribution, therefore it's implying non-blacks, mainly whites, were and are responsible. Unless he has direct evidence to back up his claims, which should have been included in his "sermon", it's less about protecting fellow members of his race from a danger and more about pointing a finger. That's where I see the reverse racism. But to reiterate, I can't say I blame him. Yes, it's an unhealthy and irresponsible way to work out his frustrations, but I can't blame him for being frustrated. Between being victimized by real racism and seeing the AIDS virus ravage the home of his ancestors, he has plenty to be frustrated with.
