The two main characters in the movie, Daniel Plainview (Obama) and Eli Sunday (Wright) play off each other early on for mutual gain. The whole movie is about who’s on first. Of course as time goes on there “can only be one” and in the end “there will be blood.” This is so typical of morally corrupt people who use religion for monetary gains and wrap the words of Christ in either Karl Marx’s ideology or those of Mohammad. I’m really hard pressed to see a real world difference between the hatred that radical Islam teaches and that of Wright and his followers. Given that Wright is nothing more than a gateway to the Nation of Islam and its hatred, the real tragedy of this is that the Obama campaign has already done more harm to race relations in this Nation than David Duke could ever do and if elected to the highest office of the land, this is just the first cut that will bleed this Nation for many years to come. The sad truth of all this is that the Black African community simply can’t handle the truth about its own failures as a culture and unwillingness to grasp the opportunities that exits in abundance outside the “black community.” Nothing and no one is going to change the past and trying to hold those that had no part in the past responsible is a path to no where this Nation can afford on several levels. How many wealthy race baiters like Jessie, Al, Louis and front men like Wright does it take before individuals in the black community figure out the obvious about who benefits identity politics and who doesn’t. A wise man once said, the only true freedom any of us have is the freedom to choose. Some people in this country just don’t get this. br> — Thom Bateman br> Newport News, Virginia
